Topic of the Week: How to Avoid the “Friends with Benefits” Trap

Ladies, “friends with benefits” is just another way for a man to get what he wants without ever having to commit – sex with no strings attached. There are no nice dinners, no roses, no one-on-one time. You may go out with a group of friends now and then, or you may just get calls from him in the middle of the night for a hook up. Some women are okay with this arrangement, but most women agree to it because they think that it just might turn into something more serious…It won’t!

The bottom line is this – It will not evolve into a real relationship. If you think that agreeing to be “friends with benefits” will make him like you more and eventually evolve into a committed relationship, you are sadly mistaken. Once you agree to be “friends with benefits” there is no turning back.

If you feel your man is leaning towards “friends with benefits” and you want a relationship, avoid the scenario from the very beginning. You have to act like you’re better than friends with benefits….don’t answer his phone calls in the middle of the night. Insist on doing things with him outside of group functions or late night hook ups. The more one-on-one time you spend with the guy you’re interested in (outside of the bedroom) the better.

If he is truly interested, he’ll be open to spending the time with you. If not, he just wants to reap the benefits of having sex with you and nothing else. If it’s obvious that he’s only in the relationship for sex and not because he likes you, move on and find someone worthy of your time.

That’s it for this week. Remember ladies, send your questions to [email protected].

  1. Frank Trigg… a breath of fresh air.

    But seriously, bro… you’re killing your target demo’s style with this advice! You should tell women that, yes, the best way to avoid “friends with benefits” status is to put out early and often. If you do, guys will then think you are classy and want to date you.

    Boom. Guys getting laid everywhere. Women trust you, Frank! EXPLOIT!

  2. Also… I understand that your advice is “directed to” women. But come on… Jack knows that mostly men read the site. Either way, if your advice helps one fellow MMA fan get laid, then I think you’ve done the community a great service!

  3. Friends with benefits! first of all women can’t do it. They say that can but they fall in love. then the man will tell you what you want to hear so they can keep F’ing you!!!! Women will always think they will win the man with the P control and that just doesn’t happened even in most marriages. Men if they put themselves in the line of fire they get shot (or shoot i should say)

  4. Would be interested in talking to you, he is currently doing the same thing with my woman, useless douche that he is.

    Please comment if you see this and we can exchange emails….

  5. you always had friends with benefits! DUDE you always claimed to be “such a family man” talked about what a great wife you have and talked about your kids and how you were just like a stay at home dad. So in other words you blew smoke up that Nicky’s ass so she would just keep taking care of your free loading ass. Classic!
