definition

friend, a person known well to another and regarded with liking, affection and loyalty

benefit, something that improves or promotes

commitment, dedication to a cause or principle...an obligation, responsibility or promise that restricts freedom of action

so let's discuss the "friend with benefits" line that most men openly use as their goal

i may not be worldly or highly intelligent, but i do get a sense of what the overall definition means

so why are men interested in intimate encounters using this description?

to me, an evolved female, i believe this to mean a loyal, affectionate person with whom you engage in (promote) mutually agreed sexual play with the purpose of a continuing scenario (all of which i have yet to consent to)

why can't they accept those terms? what dictionary are they using?

my only explanation is they (and i mean men) are cowards...using this line implies what they believe to be the correct phrase to attract women...however, they don't want any friendship beyond the immediate benefit to them due to an overwhelming phobia of commitment of any description...in other words, sexual gratification on their terms

so this would help further my understanding that their version of friend means nothing personal, benefit is selfish gain, and engaging/commitment is simply when it's convenient for them

maybe this is why all those feeble excuses for men are not yet married (or in a relationship), or worse yet, are without the moral commitment to their current partner yet looking for that extra "friend with benefits"

women (and i mean you), pause for thought ladies!
