How many women would rather have "friend with benefits" than a committed relationship?

Question

It seems more and more women like to have friends with benefits, but of course, not all. There are still lots of women that believe in love, but they are probably younger women.

I would choose friends with benefits.

I would choose to have a committed relationship.

When I first got divorced I strongly preferred the 'friends with benefits' thing over a real relationship. I actually had a ton of fun those first few years post divorce having no strings attached fun with my sexuality. However, after a while I very much shifted the other way and strongly wanted to get in a committed relationship again (which I am in now).
So I've personally felt it both ways at different times.

Luckily the guy you're with didn't care about your sexual history.

Committed relationship with close emotional bond is always better.

I rather want a good, loving committed relationship. Thing is that there are just way fewer men I fit with in that way than men I can just have fun with now and then. So I have had more friends with benefits like relations than serious committed relationships.

That's common, women sleep around if they can't find the right guy, then you have a higher body count. Yes you're having fun but ruining your chances of finding the right guy.

I don't want a guy who thinks like that, so no problem for me

I'm sure you'll find guys that don't mind if a woman has a high body count, good luck.

That is the only guys I have found, I don't come in religious circles or something ;D
No one got to know my body count and then changed how they acted around me or something. So I don't need luck for that in particular, but thanks anyway :)

You're welcome, I wasn't trying to insult you. I just feel like friends with benefits is ruining things in the relationship scenario. That's why I always wonder what a woman's body count is and she can lie about it and I would never know.

how so? I get if she is still having a friends with benefits she would be ready to go back to or something. But what if it is in the past and she is not in contact with them anymore?

I just don't want to feel like #100 and a girl that has a long history of flings doesn't seem to value a committed relationship to me.

Fair enough. 100 is also a lot, though more likely to meet someone with that many partners when you are +45 years old :D.
I don't feel like that, I see no connection between having sex with whom you feel like when single, and being committed to someone where you see potential for a serious relationship and eventually have feelings for.
But some people also only have sex when they have feelings and by doing that I guess you sort out many women who like the flings as well.
