And it's good for everybody. We need these lonely, sad women around to avoid the collapse of the romantic novel industry.

Funny, stats say the majority of purchasers of romantic novels are women in relationships.

Your idea of a woman sitting at home reading as “lonely” and “sad” is more aptly described as “calm” and “peaceful”. But keep that misogyny going pal. Maybe you’ll get it right one of these days.

Honey, I got it right this time.

Do you have every episode of "Outlander" saved? Most likely, yes. Do you picture yourself as the lovely heroine waiting to be found by the handsome hero (and I mean a human hero, not a pet)? Most likely, yes again.

Finally, do you have a favorite barstool (or two, depending on the current size of your bottom) saved at J. Gilbert's? Do you wait there for your handsome hero (but will settle for whatever will look your way)? Without a doubt.

The only obstacle to you finding a FWB is your own pickyness. Most women are incredibly picky and thus don’t get what they want.

… you mean they don’t settle for what they don’t want. Good for them.

I am a woman in my early 40s and usually have someone over for sex every other night unless I feel tired. Not that difficult at all.

Ho ho ho

yeah, it is no big deal. Tons of men out there and we do it on my terms. No going out or seen in public, no dates, just sex and go.

Hoe hoe hoe

Aww, someone can't get laid.

A man who will also follow rules about protection and not seeing other people and respecting your boundaries? Seems unlikely.

I'm a woman who has had multiple FWB and this seems kind of ridiculous.

Protection: I always insist on condoms, if they won't, then we don't have sex. But most men will, I've only known one guy who absolutely refused, so we parted ways.

Not seeing other people: you have no right to insist a FWB not see other people. Even when I have one, I am dating and seeing other people. Am I sleeping with them? Usually not; usually once I start dating someone, I end the FWB relationship. But yea, once in awhile when I have a FWB, I meet a hot guy I want to sleep with and I do. I'd be absolutely furious if a FWB tried to control what I did and tell me what I can/can't do. If he doesn't like it, he can leave.

Respecting boundaries: exactly what boundaries? The boundaries that they have to be committed to you while you're free to do whatever you want? Stupid. If you're going to ban each other from seeing others, that's not FWB, that's a relationship.

No clue why there's been so many weird posts here like "my FWB is cheating!" The very definition of a FWB is that you hookup and nothing else. It's not cheating, it's not disrespecting boundaries.

I thought boundaries were respecting which holes are agreeable and stuff like that

for me, it isn't. I like them all holes.

What are your boundaries then?

None. If it is fits then it goes.

1. Finding such a man that they are attracted to.
2. Finding such a man who will agree to whatever parameters they set (e.g., not sleeping with other people).
3. Finding such a man who provides satisfying sex.

How is demanding exclusivity even compatible with a FWB arrangement?

I just listed that as an example. Some people might prefer a casual relationship that is exclusive. Or the boundary might be not to hit on her friends. Or that he pay for dates, etc.

FWBs don't pay for dates. You don't even go out with them. They quietly come to your house or you go to theirs, do the deed and leave at the same night or early next morning. Expecting FWB to pay for dates is silly.

Yes they always do, or they will be replaced. Sounds like you don't know your power as a woman.

LOL! You must be dating some men with low elf-esteem. Been in a lot of FWB relationships in last 15 years and may be I have paid once for dates. It is shared or she can also go and find someone else.

Or she's pretty and she knows it. Pretty women don't pay unless they insist on it.

Why are we dating FWBs though? I thought we didn’t like them and they basically served one purpose
