Friends with benefits or dating?

Anytime a guy gives a girl free training advice, she should return the favor with booty.

Now, Ericka, can I help you with your deadlift??

Ok, I’m joking here.

Has this guy had many relationships before? I’m guessing not. I feel bad for him that he thought he was dating, but you didn’t. There was definately a lack of communication.

Start of nice guy rant

You should not. Not with females. Especially if you are in the nice guy/gentleman stereotype.

I just got fucked (not litteraly) by some female poster (whom I wont name) in these forums who wanted urgent advice in the relationships deparment. I kept my side of the bargain. She did not. Good thing I had free time to kill. On the bright side, it didnt take me an enormous expediture to see what her real character was.

Moral: With females, always ask for payment upfront, specially if you are a gentleman. Even here. You have been warned. Assume they`re all fuckers, until they prove you otherwise.

(Somehow, even with gentlemen, they act like assholes. Its as if, I hope for them subconsciously, theyre asking to be treated that way. Would make sense, and explain why they love jerks so much…like attracts like.)

End nice guy rant. Adopting asshole mode.

McVicker,

Good one… soemwhat educated… and, somewhat not… how suprising. Yes, we are monkeys… I got that update. No, we are not bound by primal instincts and have the ability to reason, think logically, and make good long-term decisions. Did you not get that update?

I do appreciate your noticing my nickname though… but remember, when the other males in the group disturb the group’s order through insubordination or direct conflict, it is often necessary for the alpha male to mount the other male to show the group who the true leader is… just a thought for you before you respond.

(Yes, I am a Discovery Channel nerd.)

BTW- Did you all catch the new PC term for “slut”… it is “in touch with my sexuality”… thank you for reminding me of this Ericka. The term applies to guys and girls… make sure you all note this for future communications in a sterile society.

Geez, sounds like a prison hierarchy system.

“BTW- Did you all catch the new PC term for “slut”… it is “in touch with my sexuality”… thank you for reminding me of this Ericka. The term applies to guys and girls… make sure you all note this for future communications in a sterile society.”

Ha! That’s good shit. The sterile society part reminded me of Demolition Man.

I can’t believe all the analysis on this thread. It’s quite simple. This Ericka is some f***king bitch and the “friend” guy needs to dump her ass ASAP.

Whatever the relationship was, it’s over now. Period. There’s nothing left. She threw it all in the trash. There’s no friendship left, nothing.

As for the “friend”, he needs to learn to deal with women a little better next time around.

Move on people.

I have nothing to add to this thread other than ‘thanks for the entertainment’.

I would have to agree with your assesment of the situation. If this dude was taking you out…by you things…that’d be a different story. Since you guys would just hangout and occassionally hookup…I don’t think that qualifies. Although the guy’s pride was probably hurt when he knew he wouldn’t be getting all physical with you anymore. Just a thought.

I’m not going to let somebody get the last word who believes that dinner is the deciding factor in defining the terms of a sexual relationship. Get a clue.

Why don’t I get the last word since I did start it all…

You all took this way beyond what it was meant to be. You may have your opinions formed as to the kind of person that I am. For the most part I could give a shit less. I was actually looking for some inteligent perspectives on the matter not a lecture on morals or the definition of a slut or the sexual rituals of primates. The more I read on this forum the more I realize that many out there are just looking for any excuse to preach. Get down from your soap boxes and join the rest of us in the real world. While I do appreciate the feedback that was informative and educated I found the rest of it to be quite entertaining. So, thanks for the laughs!

IMHO…FWB almost always ends badly as someone always gets too attached after awhile…REGARDLESS of what understanding the two people have come to. Whether that be one person meeting someone else and ending things (in your case)…or someone developing feelings for the other person that go beyond friendship and the nookie. Dangerous situation. Perfect for the short term…but if it goes on…
You are 27. Old enough to make your own decisions and deal with the consequences of those decisions.
Good for you.
And no…that is not “slutty” behaviour.
It’s not as if you had ten guys on the go at the same time. Geez…double standards…
Yes…some people would consider that “dating”. It’s even more intimate than that, imo. BUT…
There seems to be no hard feelings, just some miscommunication. Next time you’ll know to get everything out in the open.
Good luck.

Oh…and as a side note. I’m 26 and look much better than I did at 18. Guys that go for those 18 year olds…have NO idea what they are missing. The older you get…the more sexual self-awareness increases. It makes for much more…errr…interesting experiences.

thats a good point simone, but unfortunatley nearly every woman where i live that is over the age of 23 is obese!

ill stick to the hard bodied 18 year olds.

Ericka,
Although I was referring to Swolefool’s comments and not yours, you are welcome to the last word.
Actually, the comments of people such as myself and Scrub are “in the real world.” It seems we take issue precisely with taking this matter out of the real world. (Dinner more signficant to emotional fidelity than sexual relations!!) For my part, I never called you sexually promiscuous, or suggested you to be less sexually active.

However, by this time, I’m not sure you want to hear what some of us have said. Instead, I think you turned this thread into a platform to feel better about yourself in several different ways. And that I think is immature nonsense. I hope I have sufficiently “entertained” you, as sophisticated as you are.

the point is, that p-dog wanted some tang to get him thru his 8 weeker. no relationship! just a softer, warmer alternative to his hand. his feeling aren’t hurt. now he has to spank it or hump sasquaches.lmao
he just picked a gurl that was to smart and cought on. good job ericka. now you know why he likes 18ers.lol

“However, by this time, I’m not sure you want to hear what some of us have said. Instead, I think you turned this thread into a platform to feel better about yourself in several different ways. And that I think is immature nonsense. I hope I have sufficiently “entertained” you, as sophisticated as you are.”

I tried to let this go I really did. However the more that I thought about it the more I realized that I just had to respond. This is the last place on earth that anyone in their right mind would start a thread for the purpose of feeling better about themselves. I had read enough of the previous threads and realized that people get torn apart on here. So, with that being said I still decided to throw myself to the “wolves”. How could I possibly feel better anyhow I received far more negative feed back than positive. If I was the type of person to take it to heart I would probably never leave the house again. However despite the fact that you feel that this is immature nonsense you continue to respond. This truly makes a person question your sophistication and maturity.

ok i am going to try to finally shed some light on this situation and hopefuly put it to rest.

you guys have completley twisted this around to something that it is not. here is the situation:

ericka and i hang out. ericka and i hump (both wet and dry.ericka and i hump on a handfull of ocassions. ericka realizes that we are simply fuck budies. ericka meets a guy who she thinks she can have a serious relationship with so she pursues him. end of story.

nobody was harmed nor hurt nor a slut nor a ho. we had sex for a few weeks and now we are friends. what is the big deal???

It’s not the size it’s what you do with it (the deal) that counts. Of course that’s a rumor started by guys with little ones (deals).

I never saw a problem. Well, except having a sexual outlet removed in the middle of a cycle, that’s a tough one. Hopefully you won’t explode. That would be some mess for the authories to clean up…

Ericka: “So, with that being said I still decided to throw myself to the “wolves”. How could I possibly feel better anyhow I received far more negative feed back than positive.”

Because, VERY SIMPLY, the ways you may feel better about yourself have to do with rising above “the pack,” who are now of course victimizing you with…criticism.

Ericka: "However despite the fact that you feel that this is immature nonsense you continue to respond. This truly makes a person question your sophistication and maturity. "

I don’t see why a person speaking immature nonsense automatically means that it doesn’t merit a response. Apparantly, you have a vision of maturity in which in all circumstances it’s more mature to say nothing than to venture to say something reasonable and be prepared to debate in good faith. Traditionally, we would characterize that attitude as immature.

nobody was harmed nor hurt nor a slut nor a ho. we had sex for a few weeks and now we are friends. what is the big deal???

I really don’t think that statement is true. Sorry, but I don’t. People just don’t walk away from things like this. There seems to be SOME sort of emotional attachment here and that’s all I am going to say and leave it at that. Maybe a better response would have been gotten at the steroid forum Ericka, we are more helpful over there are we not?

I don’t believe it. It doesn’t work that way in “real life.” If you CAN make it work, more power to you 'cause you’ve beat some astronomical odds. I will salute you.

But if if you’re going to beat those kind of odds, it should be in the lottery.
