Dating/effing within your circle of friends

[squirrely girl]

i would say strangers or friends of friends. the more removed the better. when things are too good, you end up doing your own thing more and that can suck for groups of friends. and, on the other hand, when things go bad, it can really screw a group too. i hate watching either of those happen...

It doesn't matter to me, as long as she's a "one man" woman and not a whore that's screwed every joker she's met.

I try not to date or eff around within my circle of friends, it never works out well, hurt feelings, messed up friendships, etc. It's happened before.

friends of friends? If we hit it off, absolutely, but it doesn't happen that often... I think my friends are just losers with loser friends

I don't necessarily prefer to date strangers, i think i'd rather have an "endorsement" from a friend.

I like to date people whom I know from similar activites/interests that are not in my circle of friends. For example, I'd date a guy that know from classes or church (or some other large-scale environment like that), but not one that hangs around with me and my friends.

Oh yeah, they do exist, just not like they did back in the day. It's too much FWB going on now a days.

We sure do. Where are the "one woman" men?

I'm more likely to date a stranger now, but in high school and college, we always stayed within our circle of friends (at school and at church). We didn't like to date outside that limited pool of people and all circled around until everybody had been to dinner and a movie with everybody else. I didn't really date, but the two boys I did were in the circle. Now that I'm older, that seems ridiculous and pretty much only date men I don't have links to.

All over the place.

A lot of women just don't want those kind of men now a days. They're outdated. It's these low down bad boy jokers who are the in thing. All they want is the nookie and not the woman.

In the defense of women that don't believe in the "one woman man" idea. I think there are a lot of men that are basically one woman men until they get one woman. . . . then they are willing to accept the attention of others . . or at least one other . . . who they will become a one woman man for . . . again.

James, that sounds like a riddle. There's still no excuse for it.

Everyone is unique in their own way, but me? I gotta have just one woman "only" and that's it. I'm just not wired that way. Cheating and screwing without a serious relationship is unacceptable. How can a man/woman screw someone else and then walk away only to then come back to only screw again? How can anyone get excited about a booty call? That's so stupid to me.

You know what the multiple partner FWB thing is like? It's like seeing two dogs in the grass on the side of the road mating, and then watching the two of them go their own separate ways. Most animals mate during mating season, but when human beings practice the FWB thing, they're doing the same thing a dog does. Mating. Hell, the way it is now a days, you might as well go up to a woman who does the FWB thing too and say: "I don't want to wine and dine you, I just want the nookie. Will you provide me with the nookie?" That's sick. We're human beings, not animals and I really don't think human beings are wired that way. It's something psychologically wrong with a joker that practices having sex with friends and multiple partners, but at same time doesn't want a serious relationship. Wake up people.
