Hi Patsy,

Well I suspect you may be right and that in general girls might tend to be less content with the whole FwB set up, but I have experienced, and know guys who have experienced situations where they have become emotionally attached to their FwB only to be disappointed as she has turned round and said "sorry - I never meant for it to be more than x"

I can say though, honestly, that in those situations there has been a lack of honesty on the part of myself or said other male friends, who have held out hope, not because we genuinely perceived that there was more to the relationship, but just because we hoped that maybe it could lead to more.

If everyone goes into it hoestly, and that means being honest with oneself as well as with ones partner, then misunderstandings are much much less likely.
