Something I notice on the datingover subs is that a lot alot of women are in there talking about their "FWB". The way they do it is very telling. Even the women who claim to know it won't turn into more(mostly full of shit but whatever) seem to believe this is some form of a relationship. That their sex buddy is at least committed to the sexual aspect of the relationship, that he also views her as a "FWB".

THIS IS FALSE. Men do not have FWBs. They do not refer to you this way, do not think of you this way, do not have any respect for you, and do NOT harbor any feelings for you.

Men think of their "FWBs" as the desperate girl he fucks when he has no other options. The only thing bringing him back is his continued lack of options. He does not think you're cool and casual and modern for this arrangement, he thinks, "well if nothing else I can always fuck that girl I don't like".

You have to remember that the key difference here is that women personify men while men objectify women. A woman who is fucking a man with no strings thinks they're people who like eachother but don't want a commitment, a man doing the same thinks she's a toy he can use while he searches for a woman he wants.

He does not want you to be his FWB. He doesn't want you at all. He's just taking what he can get and can't wait to find something better, he will drop the whole "arrangement" at any second because he doesn't care, or worse string it along with huge absences for as long as you let him. (Oops I lost my phone for 7 months, wyd?)

This is not a failure on your part but the typical mentality of a LVM. A HVM would never be in a fwb situation because they don't leave women they want available for other men and don't toy with women they don't want.

Tl;dr men don't have FWBs they respect, only women they use
