Tips on how to find a fwb?

I am somewhat overweight (which makes it hard to find someone). I don't have time for a relationship but just want to screw someone regularly. I would prefer to not have a stranger and if it was to not jump into it. Any ideas?

I just want to thank the actual people that answered the question I asked and were kind about my weight problem.

  • Try some of the free (as opposed to paid) dating sites where the guys are less serious about long-term relationships. One of my former FWBs does this, and gets a lot of hook-ups there. The advantage is that you can get to know the other person, and even if a relationship doesn't work (it didn't click for us) you can still be friends, which can turn to FWB. I wasn't hung up on the fact that she had a few guys she was seeing.

    Your platonic friend could be a potential FWB, and even the drunken hookup could come around if you are up-front and tell him you just want to use him for sex. Many guys are OK with that. Another one of my FWBs was a friend for several years (totally platonic) and then one evening she pushed her comment about not having had sex in a while a bit farther - and we ended up naked. She was totally not in my dating category, and outside of appearance I was not in hers, but we got together several times, then she met someone who she eventually married. We still are friends (without benefits), and we're having lunch later this week. Oh, and her husband knows.

    Anyway, the dating site thing might be your best bet. Most guys from craigslist are either looking for a one night stand and/or are expecting to pay for the privilege.

  • You could try to meet someone on here. You could also try a dating website. Also craigslist.

    You won't want to advertise that you're looking for sex though. What you want to do is find someone who's decent and in your area. Then spring the proposal on them.

    What area are you from? Somewhere rural might be easier to find someone stable.

  • If that were really your problem... you would have already solved it because the amount of sexually frustrated men who would have sex with any hole that crosses their path are there and many would be willing to be your fwb. Your problem is... you have sexual needs but you also have emotional needs. A woman likes to be liked but you won't allow men to like you if you don't like yourself and you don't need to be slim to like yourself. I would go to therapy and get help with restoring self estee,.

    • Oh I have fine self esteem its just any dating site I have tried 95% of guys put that they want a slender/athletic female. Hence the I have problems unless I want a guy that can crush me under his weight.

    • Yes majority of guys dream about a slender athletic female... but most lack the skill and confidence to get one so they settle with us. Yay!

    • Haha I just close them out since I figure if they aren't open to my awesomeness (and if they got that far my skills that I am worshipped for) then they don't deserve me.

  • Join an activity or go to a bar and meet a guy. Lol, I don't think it will be hard to find a guy to just hook up with. Since you want to know them, don't do it right away. Good luck :)

  • You MUST have some single male friends/acquantences, right? I promise you there are one or two among them who would be happy with this arrangement.

    • I have exactly two and one won't hang out since a drunken hook up happened. The other is strictly platonic between us.

  • fwb start out as any other relationship. You evolve into it with a friend or you go on a couple dates. All that's added in is "I'm not looking for a boyfriend or a relationship, just some fun".

    Or ya... craigslists or some other online host.

    • Yeah I thought I had a shot with one of my friends that I hooked up with drunk but he refuses to talk about the incidence or hang out with me since.

    • Download some p*rn and buy a vibrator? You need more male friends is what you need...

    • The first part has gotten old I need human interaction as in actual kissing and feeling the other person and giving head all that stuff that makes it great.

  • go to the gym; that would make it easier.

    • My gym is full of old people but it has the best pool in town

    • I wasn't suggesting you could look for a friends with benefits there.

    • Oh thanks yet another person who just focuses on my weight. Well once again its a medical issue. I watch what I eat and go to the gym 5 times a week. However due to a dr that would not listen to me in the past my condition was out of control for a long time. I hae lost 60lbs and kept it off and working at losing more but it is a very hard struggle. Its great to have such supportive people as yourself to make me feel great about myself. Really its a pleasure I assure you.

  • you should focus on your weight don't you think, honey? sex is not a problem #1 right now. it's your health. focus on that.

    • Well thanks for your concern but I am and seeing as it is a medical condition my drs and I stay on it.

    • And once again for someone that wants to not even answer the question I hope for your sake you never get an condition that is not diagnosed for at least ten years despite begging the dr and when its out of control and the drs are helping you get it under control that you have people be as flippant about something that is NOT your fault as you tried to fix it for over 15 years.

  • A friends with benefits is just sex. Your weight isn't the issue. It's that you want a relationship that's nothing but sex but don't want to have sex right away.

    • I don't think that wanting to meet the person two or three times first is that much to ask for. I want to make sure that the person is sane and compatible with me.

  • Try a studious looking guy coming out of a library. Smile, be friendly, tell him what you want and thank me later.

    • Haha

  • No, there are millions of likes and dislikes please don't say overweight!I think it will come your way I'm sure.

  • As a woman, if you can't find a FWB, you're doing something wrong.

    • Well thanks that makes me feel so much better.

  • go for craigslists

    • Yeah only met crazy people that way sadly

    • LOL well I think a lot of people are upto sex. so don't worry! try fetlife

  • I can't speak for other guys but I prefer a larger figure and a healthy fun attitude is the most attractive feature of any woman. I am surprised at female friends who don't even realize men are hitting on them. Look around at the men around you, those that seem really helpful, are probably looking for an invitation to talk, from there it depends on what you want to do.

  • My guess is that you are lelebear above . Even if you're a bit tubby you will probably find an f w b at the health club.

    • Whats a lelebear?
