Are most of the people (mainly guys), are they just looking for FWB's? I had one guy get nasty, because I was acually looking for something other than a FWB. He said that your not going to find a normal guy on this site, who is looking for anything more.

There are all kinds on a free site such as this. That guy was just being a jerk because he was rejected. Stick to your guns and don't settle for anything less that what you're looking for. Sooner or later that guy who is looking for the same thing you are will pop up. Use this site as a tool, not an end all be all of dating and relationships.

Dont let it get to ya...I've had same thing but stick to your guns and dont give up the search. The right one will come along sooner or later, may not be on here but at least you might make some friends who dont need or want the benefits.

REPT, There are plenty of men out here that are looking for more than sex. You keep looking for one and you will eventually find one. Don't give in and don't give up.

If a guy gets nasty with you, take that guy off your list. Infact, block him so you no longer have to deal with his B.S.

Here's what I see. I use to get men messaging me wanting FWB. And they are all long distance. Now how is someone gonna do a FWB long distance unless they got money to burn???

I put on my profile what I am NOT interested in. A few don't read profiles (obviously) and yet I still get inquiries. I message them back Not my scene . Majority of the time, they don't return messages but the ones that do I figure if they can't read my first message, then they aren't getting another and I delete.

Well, I did the FWB thing in High School, and that was a looooooooong time ago. I don't see the "benefit" part of it for either partner. Someone is going to feel more than the other, and that will lead to one of them getting hurt at some time. Honesty in any relationship is paramount, and if it is based upon sharing sex, the guidelines should be very carefully thought out before anything begins in earnest. Usually after the first time, somone gets the feeling that there is something there and places more importance on the "relationship" than the other. Tread softly, and take great care in what you get involved in, for emotions are never totally equal in any relationship!

What does FWB stand for. If he got nasty with you that is a sign that you do not need him.

I have a friend that had what she called her "midnight mauler"...lol! For years when she felt like having intimacy, she'd call him up, they'd get together and have fun and that was it. That was a booty call with someone she knew would not give her any diseases and understood that there would be no relationship at all except sexual.
Personally not my cup of tea, but it worked for her and I can understand her reasoning. Today, she has a boyfriend of three years and the midnight mauler is married and there were no issues when either decided they were going to get into an actual relationship.

FWB though is a little more complicated, that indicates that you are doing more than having a booty call, you're actually a friend and as eagleeyes said above, this can lead to complications when one inevitably ends up with more feelings than the other and wants to take the relationship to another level.

I think that there are a lot of people online who are looking for a lot of different things out of it. When you get a bad apple mouthing off because you are honest about what you are looking for, it's discouraging surely, but I would suggest blocking him and forgetting he existed....he's obviously not for you! You have every right to choose whom you would like to be with.

I understand all that. But he made it sound like only a weirdo would want a relationship who they met online. and soulstorm FWB means "friends with benefits"
