What's up with (wo)men who do not want to be on their own, meaning not paired up with a member of the opposite sex, but don't want to embrace in a relationship, either? It almost seems like an oxymoron to me. Why not just be on your own for a while, if you enjoy your freedom and independence, instead of putting this imaginary force field around you when dating someone? In this case, to me it seems like dating = FWB.
The answer I think is there are times they want someone around, but lots of times they don't. And sex with a good/trusted partner is also needed.
I think this is some of it. I have a friend who also just loves the attention. She always finds a boyfriend she can keep at arm's length and then has several men on the side that she flirts with daily. She thrives on the attention but doesn't want to give a lot in return for it.
I don't see the big deal - aren't there lots of guy who want a woman to be handy, convenient and then kinda make themselves scarce? As long as you can both agree on the specifics, what's the difference? It may not work for you, so you find someone who suits YOU rather than moaning about the women who don't....there's a lid for every pot.

I think most people are scared of the fact that when they are involved with someone in a relationship, they start losing their sense of self, and relationships require a lot of energy. Sometimes you want your freedom to do whatever you want, and relationships don't work that way. Relationships require two people in your decision making process, that's if you're emotionally committed.
Compatibility is so important, because certain freedoms aren't lost in the process when two people are exactly on the same page.
This isn't unique to women. And if they don't want a relationship with you, it just means they aren't crazy about you.
