I never said it was for me. That's your assumption. I just made a comment. I know some people that have done this (for money) and they got hurt by this process.

I wouldn't know do you?. I simply made a comment. Don't assume.

You got it, man! The potential for hurt feelings isn't a reason not to try. If he gets hurt he can take it as a sign that he is ready for a relationship again! That's not necessarily bad news.

I'm not assuming. You made a comment!

Whatever, don't read into, it was simply a comment I made. Ok?

There can be love involved with FWB, as friends DO love each other. It's just that you don't see a live-in arrangement or marriage down the road, for whatever reason. Think Jerry and Elaine on "Seinfeld."

Oh yes. There's definitely some realistic relationships on Seinfield.

Nooners, sometime you meet up at lunch.

Sometimes you meet after the clubs get out.

Spontanious, sometimes it's just out of nowhere.

Reading comprehension, please. The "for you, maybe" comment was in response to your comment of "one always gets hurt".

That's far from the blanket statement you made of "One always gets hurt". You changing your mind now?

It's no way to go- someone will always end up hurt.
Plus atleast one of you will just feel used. Most likely the girl. Do guys ever feel used/hurt???
Go for a meaningful relationship- one you can like yourself for but start out as just friends first (no put intended!)

With the last (and most significant) FWB I had, we called each other up if we didn't have any other plans and wanted to do something together (which always ended up with a romp in the sack). We met via a mutual friend and became each other's "back up" arrangement. We both knew the deal -- no one was being misled, etc. At some point she ended up getting serious with a guy and she told me about it -- the message was clear: FWB was over. We amicably cut it off -- no hard feelings. I met another gal and got serious with her soon after that.
