Ive read a lot of questions on here about FWB ..so I was wondering, What's the difference between FWB and Fuck Buddy? Isn't it the same thing? or is there something different?
Am not into either, I think both are the same and a failure no matter how hard you try to work on the relationship...its always gonna fail.
i think its the same thing. Both are kinda empty. a person needs to attach emotionally, and physically, even though both people think they will feel satisfied, they both just feel dirty and like they wasted their love afterwards. kisses
A FWB is just that, a friend that you occasionally sleep with when you both want to. You can still talk to each other and go places together but, there is no real lasting or deep emotional connection. A f*** buddy is just that. you go to his house, gets laid and leaves. He goes to your house, gets laid and leaves. The one thing you need to remember about either relationship is that neither really is. Neither has to prosper of fail because they are both an item item of convenience more than anything. My opinion only due to experience with both.
The difference between the two is a relationship outside of the physical. Fwb is "friends" with benefits, while f*** buddies is just a glorified booty call(s).
They don’t always fail. I can’t argue that most of the time they do fail but that’s simply because the relationship is often based off of lies and deceit. If you’re not honest to both yourself and your partner about what you want from the relationship and also how you view sex (you cannot believe sex is monotonous with emotional ties) what would you expect? Whether committed or not it’s honest communication that will make the relationship work. The boundaries and definition of the relationship are irrelevant.
I know its your opinion... You just wrote commented. I don't think that they'd work for lots of reasons, because anything that starts with just benefits isn't gunna last like (sex, money ..etc) and another reason is, one of the two will end up hurt cause usually someone will fall into the trap of wanting more than just sex.. Am not disagreeing with you, sometimes they do work but that's just really rare and less often cause people aren't always honest and we all know that - 23 days ago

It's not supposed to last. It shouldn't be viewed in the same pretext as a long term relationship but rather casual dating. - 23 days ago

Yes but some people do have hope that thier relationship would last or would turn into a normal serious relationship, I've read tons of questions about that matter! - 23 days ago
They fail based on both parties not knowing where the other is at; emotionally. I've had a FWB for a year now, yeah I'm not too happy with it, because I don't have sex as often as I like to and because for a while I thought about a relationship. Truth is, a FWB is a convenience to me, I have too much sh*t to do and so does he. Besides, he makes a better FWB than he does a boyfriend. He sucks as a boyfriend, we've tried that before. FWB works out better for both of us than a relationship does. - 22 days ago

So are you agreeing with me or disagreeing? - 22 days ago
I think it's the same thing. People use the "friends with benefits" (FWB) term when they're not sure whether a relationship is going to start or not. With FB's it's pretty clear it's not.
Both situations usually don't last very long, maybe 2-3 months tops. At the end of this time an "official" relationship starts, or they go their own ways.
I've been having one for a year. No official relationship and no parting of the ways. Whether the potential is there or not, neither me or my fwb/fb are ready for a committed relationship nor are we parting ways because, well that I don't know, but it's a convenience, and it works. - 22 days ago

If you see him more than once a week, and you're exclusive to each other, I've got some news for you sweetie. - 22 days ago
Question Asker
If you guys are exclusive then it means you re committed to one another!!! isn't that right Alan? NOT being exclusive is THE FIRST RULE in a FWB/ FB relationship!!! so if that doesn't exist then.. you guys might be together when you don't even realize it! - 22 days ago
Ive been in a FWB for 7months... weve both agreed to not be in an exclusive relationship...hangout 3-4 times a week and sometimes don't have sex. It works for us, we both respect and like each other and are comftorable enough to get the sexual satisfactory we both want also. Its a fair deal. Oh, and were not having sex with other people. So what does that tell you? I don't think its dysfunctional at all. - 22 days ago
Question Asker
Well, if you re not having sex with other people but wouldn't mind to do so, like if the right guy comes along, would you have a relationship with him or would your FWB thingy stop you? that's what you need to ask yourself... - 22 days ago

You're already on the ball Ms Question Asker. Sounds like these girls are in denial. - 22 days ago
If I'm talking with friends of mine, I use both for myself. But around people who know me less well, I only use FWB because f*** buddy can sound perverted or that I'm a slut.
They're the same...I think F*** buddy implies more, however, that the relationship is purely sexual, whereas FWB would suggest to me that you're just friends who feel secure enough to casually hook up with each other.
Friends-with-benefits is a more respectful term. If you actually are friends with the person or like them, you would say "friends-with-benefits".
"Fuck buddy" is a term you would use if you didn't respect the person as much. if someone is your f*** buddy, then there is no possibility that you will ever start a relationship with that person. You don't have to like your f*** buddy as a person.
My advice is to use "friends-with-benefits" instead of "f*** buddy". "Fuck buddy" could get you into trouble!
