Why You Can't Be Friends with Benefits

Fact: most men will eagerly and regularly have sexual relations with a woman he has absolutely ZERO interest in being in a committed relationship with.

Fact: most women will rarely have sex with a man that she couldn't see the possibility of a relationship with (unless she's a hoe of course and not a "friendly vagina" brand of hoe but a Tittie Tuesday on Twitter bust it open on World Star hoe).

With those two factors in mind, men and women can't be on a level playing field. But fuck it let's just pretend you two got pass that and came to some sort of logically agreement where both parties (and by both parties I mean the woman and her emotions) fully understood this was a situation of convenience between two homies.

You're not really down to play second fiddle
Ideally a friend with benefits situation is a placeholder for the possibility of real love. How are you going to feel knowing the person you're spooning with is only here until something better comes along? What is he looking for that you don't have? Is the next person better than you? Are you only good for sex?  The answer to these questions will always be "No, it's not like that, I just don't want to mess up the friendship" (damage already done though) and after a while that answer is not going to cut it. You don't really want to do that to yourself. You're going to fuck up your self-esteem.

It's going to get awkward
The more you fuck the more attachments you build. The lady heart strings are firmly attached to the vagina in 991 of 1000 women (its in books and shit). Once you sleep together 10 times you're only one long trip to the kitchen away from checking his text messages while he's gone. How strange is it going to be when your girlfriend, that's just his speed, asks about him? You going to cock block the homie? You don't want to see her happily ever after with him even thought that's not your HIM. What you going to do when you're the only one in love?

He just might try to have his cake and eat it too
He has on demand no strings attached pussy and nobody is just walking away from that. Even when another girl comes into the picture and shows potential he won't be in a rush to end things with his homie jumpoff situation. You'll go from placeholder to plan B and you won't get hip until he sends you to voicemail 4 times in a row on a Wednesday night because he's laid up with Ms New Booty. Now you're going to sit there looking stupid typing up bitter text messages and letting them sit in the draft folder. Yeah, you thought you two were better than that but you can't spazz out either because ya'll are just friends with benefits. Right?

Those benefits will make you way more than just friends
