Poll: Have you ever been a "friend w/ benefits?"

[aphex]

Yep, i was.. But it caused problems when she got attached and i didnt... Of course i would do it again in a heartbeat though

 

[Kadarin]

Hey, Aphex II, I like your sig. It reminds me of the toilets we have at work 🙂 .

Come to think of it, I've been in several "friends with bennies" relationships.. There's nothing whatsoever wrong with it, provided you're up front and honest. Like any relationship, it takes work to maintain. However, it also takes a special kind of outlook, I think.

[aphex]

eakers: lookin for a second one?? 🙂 j/k

 

[Grinchy]

it's swingin' anandtech.

never been in one, but actually considering starting one right now. i know nothing long term would work with this woman, and I couldn't lie to her about that. but we are friends and do enjoy each other's company. hmm.

 

[kt]

who needs friends? just give me the benefits already!

 

[TheBlondOne]

I've been there many times...

It does get complicated because one always falls for the other (as was previously stated). But that doesn't mean it's fun.

I think it's VERY beneficial for those who are not in a relationship but still desire the physical relationship. You can "have your cake and eat it too." No commitment but physical satisfaction.

MeanMeosh:

Read my response to THIS thread...it answers your question.

 

[perry]

I've always wondered how that worked too..

Just sitting around bored one night, decide it's time for action.. Call her up, "So, uh.. you wanna, like, do it n' stuff" "Sure, come on over." uNF uNF uNF "Welp, cya later." "Yup, cya." Just like calling up guy friends to see if they wanna hang out on a Friday night an play PS2 or whatever. Seems odd.

As you can tell, my answer is no. Either fall into the relationship zone or the friend zone.. Nothing in between.

 

[eyecandy]

I had sort of one, once. It was a rebound thing, but not a whole lot happened, we just kissed.

 

[Aves]

This thread reminds me of a Seinfeld episode I saw the other day where Jerry and Elaine decide to become each others "friend w/ benefits".

 

[notfred]

I don't beleive in casual sex.

 

[xilluzionx]

I did have a fling for 2 months it was great i need another one

 

[Muadib]

Yes.

 

[zeruty]

I may be starting one soon. she is in a relationship with a girl and wants some male action.

 

[WhoDeeny]

So the "nots" have it! damn I was hoping for better odds, too...


EyeCandy, you're a cutie! 😉
