This question makes no sense. A FWB is not a relationship and it mainly revolves around sex. A committed relationship is not a FWB and FWBs don't have intimacy issues...the point is the sex, mainly. They don't have relationship problems because they are not in a relationship that is "going somewhere"--which are committed relationship problems. If there is a problem, the FWB situation ends. And there are no intimacy issues...otherwise they would not be FWBs.
It's a free hooker

Yes, a FWB, but I don't want to sleep with just anyone.

Take a few years out to grow up, and take care of your child. Get some therapy while you're at it.

OP here. I'm a little surprised as well, because I am attractive. I'm assuming because I have a kid it throws them off- though I am NOT looking for a stepdad, husband, or to introduce my kid to any man, at all. I've thought about removing the kids part completely from my profile, but I think it's a bit deceitful.
44-year-old PP here. My profile says “have kids; do not want more.” There is no other mention of my kids. I have no problem getting interest from men ages 34-45. I don’t go above that age—no need to. I am not sure why you are having a problem.
