What are the differences between an orbiter and a simple friend?

No. It boils down to the value the female is adding to the male's life.

If all the value is flowing from him to her then he's an orbiter.

This comes up a lot.

And if you have to ask, you are an orbiter.

Another great way to tell is ask her to put in a good word for you with one of her hot friends. If she does it, honestly tries to help you hook up, then you have a rare bird indeed; the wing-chick. I've heard of them, read about them in the hallowed tomes, but never met one in the wild. Cherish her and don't fuck it up. She is far more valuable than any LTR or FWB; she is a drinkin' buddy.

Usually you get sarcasm, disgust and sabotage. That's all I've ever got.

How hot is the girl? And how thirsty is the guy? I had a female friend. Great friend. Funny. Reliable. Honest. She was 360 lbs. (Would've been hot at 135 lbs.)

Ehhhh. I'd have to say it depends on the situation. I know a kid who is good friends with a girl, he's straight, known her since they were like toddlers and has his own girlfriend. Yet he still hangs around the other girl a lot. I wouldn't call him an orbiter, I think they generally care about each others well-being.
