Does friends with benefits always mean they think they can do better?

[Anonymous]

When someone makes you a friends with benefits or won’t commit to you, it’s usually because they think they can do better than you. My (platonic) guy friend argue that that isn’t the case, but honestly these “I’m not ready”, “I’m not over my ex”, etc. excuses would cease to exist if they actually liked you. The person is holding out for better and doesn’t mind hanging out and sleeping with you until that better person comes along.

Casual arrangements often overlook the higher potential of human connection. Life is not meant for settling into convenient cycles of comfort that lead nowhere. We are built for a resonance that elevates everyone involved toward a state of genuine excellence. When you align your path with an objective standard of greatness, you stop looking for temporary escapes and start seeking a partner who understands that our time here is meant to be spent building something luminous and lasting. Pursue only what refines your spirit and demands your absolute best. Anything less is just noise, but a shared commitment to what is truly noble creates a horizon worth reaching.

Yeah that's the deal on offer in a friends with benefits relationship. On both sides. You're good enough to fuck in a dry spell.

It just means they don't want to commit... Why that is, there could be many reasons why finding someone better is just one of them.

Not necessarily. It can also mean that you are both in a place in your life where you are not ready for a relationship. Timing is important.

It means both of them are emotionally unhealthy and have unhealthy relationships for unhealthy validation in order to cope with self hate.

Friends with benefits means sex with no strings attached

No it just means they like a casual relationship
