I might've posted this before, can't remember, but stuff like this keeps me happily single...

Back along I had posted a story about meeting a friend's boyfriend...(I called them P&R...she met him via the Internet and he lives out of state, they've been together for about a year)

One day P e-mailed me about fishing, as R wanted to go smelting. She cc'd him. We chatted back and forth, and before long I realized that P's name was no longer on the e-mails. P had complained about her cousin A e-mailing him, so I told her about it. She said no problem, she wasn't the jealous type, and I was a good friend for talking fishing with him.

Soon I find that R is emailing me every day, 20 times or so...chatty stuff. I don't mind at first, but soon most of his chat is sexual innuendo...like telling me he's horny and how he can satisfy any woman - stuff I don't need to hear from my good friend's boyfriend. Also innapropriate things like how he misses me and can't wait to see me after I'm in shape for the bike Trek.

At first I'd ignore the comments and say something on topic about fishing or camping (we were planning a rockhounding trip together - us three plus a pile of kids) Then if he kept up the comments I wouldn't respond to the e-mail. Finally he quit e-mailing me...

I never said anything to my friend as I don't think it would make any difference to her. He is exactly what I would describe as a Ma$$h0le.

Yup he sure was a dirtbag MFer!
I goes both and all ways in relationships......
We are all probably better off single...haha
We need a thread called
"Being single rocks!"
Now we just need to figure out how to get some once a week! and go backpacking the rest of the time :-)

The ultimate scenerio!
Friends with Benefits!!!
I actually tried this with the GF/XGF.....
We got along better then ever!
Until she started to say the "love" word now and then and then asked me to get back together and then she went psycho on me!
Sorry a little tangent there!

OK, back to the idea/subject
"Friends with bennies"
The men have 1-5 Girl "friends" and ladies have 1-5 Boy "friends" Everyone gets along and have a clear understanding that we all can help each other in various, productive and fun ways. Open honest communication, kindness, respect, should work like a charm.
We can go hiking, biking, to movies, Sex, dinner, breakfast, but at the same time giving each other the room we need for ourselves, family and other friends (some of that might have bennies too) So anyway as long as the honesty and respect and friendship stay in place it is a "win win situation" what do you think? :-)

Why would the relationship you just described not deserve the respect of exclusivity? You've described the perfect significant other without the 1-5 other g/f, b/f.

I've with dhutch. In today's world of AIDS, exclusivity is a plus!
StoveStomper

Not to mention mutual trust and respect. Seems to me if you had that person, you wouldn't want any other. Note I didn't say you wouldn't be attracted by others, or think they look great or fantasize. But to be satisfied with a mate. Isn't that what we are all really looking for.

friends with benefits rarely, if ever works.

I'm not ignoring you, I just don't know what to say Stovie! ;)

I'm being 99% sarcastic :-)

"You've described the perfect significant other without the 1-5 other g/f, b/f."
dhutch1

Yes that is exactly what what I would love to have! Trust me!
It has just been a crummy one way road latley. so maybe I was being a little negative and have given up hope that a REAL relationship is still possible nowadays.
sorry sweets

SS
even being exclusive does not garrantee you never contracting a SDT from someone else. It sure helps cut down the odds though.
I have actually thought about getting mutual testing prior, but would never know how to say it without looking like a dink! nor ruining the moment...haha

I think we all have to stop worrying so much about others' perceptions. If you feel strongly about something. Say it, ask it, talk about it. The woman you want snafu, will love you for it. A woman that thinks you're a dink because of it, you don't need.

She can polish her mormonizer all she wants, I'm just not sure I would like to be Mormonized. However, one should never knock something until you try it...maybe?

I've met some mighty nice sweet TT women on my TT hikes.
A few I want to date but hesitate to ask because they are very rare valuable female backpacking pardners.
It's kinda like the don't date were you work rule.

What's the solution to this ladies?

Of course for twigeater, all rules are off! ;-)

My ex boyfriend's cube is right across from mine. I hear every word he says all day long. Some days I marvel that I dated him for so long. :)

This thread is a blast today. I leave to go to a job for a couple hours, and look what I find when I return.

Wolfeyes, I am so honored. But I'd never knock you silly! LOL Ditto what Dhutch said. You rock, girl!

Snafu, every man wishes every woman has that fantasy. I don't think every woman does. But certainly some do. ;)

I'll keep my fantasies to myself, and when acted upon, do not kiss and tell!
