Friends with benefits - are there a fair bit of women who are actually no strings attached? Or do most want something more?

FWB is extremely common.

Enough said.

Since I started pick-up a year and a half ago, I've had 8 FWB and exactly 0 girlfriends/attempts at more

I can't speak for all women in the slightest but in my limited experience, FWB is way more common than you think it is

There are plenty of girls out there who want a simple sexual relationship without a lot of emotional attachment. The key to finding them is to be honest and upfront with what you're looking for. Tell girls the first time you meet them that you're not interested in a serious relationship. If girls don't want to buy, they don't have to. Girls that stick around are obviously comfortable with the idea.

Female here. I currently have two FWB, one of whom is a close friend who I've been sleeping with since last December, the other is an acquaintance who I've been sleeping with since this past March. The key is communication--both are aware that I'm sleeping with other people, and they're both (obviously) free to do the same. And everyone is safe, of course. While I care deeply for the man I'm good friends with, I'm romantically attached to neither. So don't give up! It's possible, but it takes a lot of honesty about expectations and the perfect mix of personalities.

I haven't been able to do it without the girl getting attached immediately. Even when they say they're not looking for a relationship and they're not jealous etc, it always ends up the same way. I think I'm too nice and give them too much attention or something.
