But guys in general are often judged by assumptions on what they "can" or "can't" do when it comes to their sexual appetite or mentality. Right or wrong, men are regarded as having less control over their sexual behavior (or the adverse consequences of not satisfying a sexual need) than women.
Interesting theory. Thanks

Sure I see your point. It might be true that many women have a mixture, and I think it might also be true that many women don't. I do think there is a spectrum of behavior, some women are closer to one end of the spectrum, on avg, and others are closer to the other end of the spectrum, on avg -- for what a given person (man or women) is likely to do with an avg person of the opposite sex.

But to be clear, I am speaking specifically about the women that made it clear, one way or another, they wanted to find a person for a lifelong, long term thing, and they didn't see me as that person, but wanted to bang anyway. Which is different than a women trying out a few guys at the same time until she settles on one. These are women that keep it going, sexually, with a guy, even after they've ruled him out as a life partner. My point is that I don't see this is being that different from a friendzone -- it just includes sex.

You ever try just saying no when they tell you they only want sex? I Know it sounds crazy but I sense a lack of respect for you which doesn't help if you want a long term relationship with these women. Next time tell them if they don't want a long term relationship then you need to spend your time finding that person and not screwing around with FWB's. If they give you attitude (some women need to get their way) then that's another reason to cut them off and you dodged a bullet. Self respect makes you shine and many women can sense whether or not it's there. This may help you attract the right one and stop attracting women who want to be FWB's.

No why would I do that? I enjoy sex... and I'm not trying to change them into wanting to be with me long term.

This is more about comparing friendzone to fwb.

And yes I've attracted women that wanted more than fwb... I just found them boring and lost interest. I suspect part of me really likes variety, even though another part of me, eventually, wants a long term thing again.

Well as long as you're satisfied and don't see a problem, I won't continue any further on that matter.

On the FWB and friend zone matter. Different women want different things. Some place you in the friend zone and will never even consider benefits. Others may be open to it and make it a case by case scenario. Others strictly want FWB as a place holder until they find what they believe to be their true love. Guess you find alot of the last category.

Uh, no. The friendzone = no physical or sexual attraction.

FWB = either no emotional connection and/or no desire to commit.

And that is a huge, significant difference.

When the hell did we start using these ridiculously obscene terms such as "friendzone" and "FWB" to describe various forms of relationships/rejections? When did we become so collectively retarded in this way?

Dunno, mate, but I do know this - I'm staying far away from it all. This is ridiculous.

All I want, care for, and desire is a NORMAL woman - a woman who is not caught up in this cultural insanity that completely demeans and dismisses good decent men who are also not caught up in this madness.
