Fast forward a year passes and now he throws the FWB at me. Just feeling bummed and unworthy.
Why are you letting anyone else have such control over your life?

Time to stop searching for some self-esteem in other people's opinions of you.

I read a post from friend on FB stating "Friends with benefits = in reality is telling you to your face that you're good enough to f... ...but not good enough to invest feelings in." Is this true?? Apparently I'm not even good enough to be friends with either.
Yes. I'm so sorry. It really is. There will be a few on here who say, "Why I've been FWB with people for decades and not developed feelings for them." To me, one would have to be a borderline sociopath to think that way. That's because sex, by definition, is an act of intimacy. And while one person can possibly roll out of bed and walk away, it's unlikely that both people in a FWB situation can do that.

This may be the case sometimes, but I'm sure just as many times women just deal with jerks in general who would act the same way regardless of the objects of their sexual release. It can happen to anybody. The difference is that any self-respecting woman would drop the moron like a hot potato at the first sniff of the nature of his behavior.

Here in the mountains we call someone such as this...pond scum.
You deserve a loving man who respects you, who will give you much happiness & sexual pleasure.

Agreed my friend, but she has to BELIEVE that first, and apparently she doesn't

Yes. If she doesn't respect herself, who else will?

A women doesn't have to be "hot" for a man to sleep with her.

For some, she just doesn't have to be dead.
