Lets say you are interested in a guy and attracted to him, he is early 30's you are early 20's.
You have talked to him a few times and you (the girl) are sexually inexperienced, but not for religious reasons, mainly due to shyness.

How would you react, or how do you think most young women in this situation would react if......... the next time you talked he came straight off the fence and said something like "I'm keen for a casual FWB situation if you are?".

No smart arse comments. I'm interested in a serious discussion.

Hmmm, having been an early 20s inexperienced-due-to-shyness girl myself in the past, I probably wouldn't have taken it too well. I wouldn't have flipped out at the guy, but I wouldn't have gone for it. In my case, sexually-inexperienced-due-to-shyness wouldn't have translated well to a casual FWB relationship. I feel in those relationships you usually need a certain degree of sexual experience to be able to take it casually enough. Others may think differently.

I agree with this. Now that I'm older and realize the uselessness of relationships, I could probably go for such a situation. When I was that age, however, it wouldn't work.

I'm 25, and moderately experienced in sex. I would be completely turned off by that comment if I am looking for a serious and meaningful relationship, I would smile politely and say it's not what I'm looking for nor what I'm used to and wish that person good luck.

If you have doubts about if the girl even knows what "FWB" means (it even took me an extra 3 seconds to decipher, but hey I'm slow :P), she is more likely not ready for it...

If the guy I'm interested in only wants to have a "casual FWB situation" with me, then I wouldn't be interested in him anymore.

With a woman you will have to suttley segway into it and then convince her without convincing it so it almost comes off as her suggestion.

I find this to be true with most things with a woman, lol. As long as she feels like she has the decision making power, but you give alittle nudge, things go easier!!

Here would be your typical response.

HOWEVER... After the initial shock and awkwardness I think she would be thinking about you. If she found you even a bit attractive she would mull over the thought.

Later, she may even discuss this whole thing with a friend or two. "Can you believe this guy told me that he would be interested in a FWB relationship with me? OMG?"

Then there would be a discussion like, "Was he cute?"

A few weeks later she is out with her friends getting all drunk and she is dared to call this guy up. She is into it cause it has been a long time.

Bingo... two weeks I would guess even after the initial no.

He-he, you were hoping for different responses from the younger crowd, weren't you?!
