How honest can you really be?

~OP~ Get married, she'll help with the household duties, you can be intimate until that stops then you get the FWB. It's a perfect solution. Otherwise, my advice is you live alone and have sex with whom you choose because many of us don't wish to be someone's FWB, maid, checkbook, without some sort of emotional attachment. But maybe that's just me. JMO

Your both pretty well right on the mark. The cost of the chase is, a bit high. I don't know why its this way but it is what it is. Your probably right, what I'm looking for would require someone that just can't do better, ewww. Given these hard facts, me thinks I'll stick to friends and maybe take up bowling.

Again, I'm not looking for a maid or cook. I can hire a maid alot cheaper, and I prefer my own cooking :) Get off the sterotype sweetie

Instant live~in with "all" benefits included? Hmmmmmmmm Don't know I've actually heard of that without the getting~to~know you stage (ummmm ~dating). Myself, yes ~ I hate the process of dating, but it's a rarity to fall right into a relationship, never mind moving in right off the bat. You never mentioned whether any emotional attachment would be available in addition to chores and sex?

Without knowing exactly what you're after as far as a "oneness", perhaps the ad could go something like this:

Female roommate wanted: Expectations are: sharing of chores, sharing of responsibilities, sharing of beds. Any takers?

Not quite sure which "sweetie" you are referencing here, so I'll answer for me, and maybe get it right for all the sweeties above you might have meant.


If you don't really want to do the whole dating ritual, or the usual drama. but just want someone at home to keep company, share responsibilities and be intimate with, is that a roomate/friend with benefits? How do you advertise that?

That's how you "advertise" it. Just exactly what you said ~ turn the "?" into a period (.) and take off "How do you advertise that?" and there ya go. Run with it, see how that works for ya. Keep us posted ~ might be interesting to see how long it takes for you to end up in POF Testimonials introducing your knew life with the perfect non-dating woman of convenience.

If I understand the OP, you want the long term relationship without the BS that usually comes with the traditional dating ritual.

You will have some women that will hold onto this like it is their last breath of air and will freak out and stop the whole process. You will find some women who will embrace the change because it takes a lot of pressure off and it ends up being a more enjoyable process to get to know someone without all the formality of "after 3 dates we have to do this or that" and all that crap.

I wouldn't bother with it in your profile but bring it up as a topic when meeting. Or you can try it and see what happens. I would just simply state that you want a long term relationship but how we get there is up to debate and would like to find someone that is open minded enough and brave enough to try a different way of going about it.

Just my 2 cents.

There's no real point in not being totally honest, think you should change your profile to 'other relationship' rather than 'dating' . If you are concened about everyone knowing what is it you are actual after then thats fair enough, but i've just read your profile, and to be honest mate, your profile dosen't sound like you're after a roomate with benefits. So if you don't want to state what it is you're looking for, you'll just be wasting your own time and others.

Sorry, but honesty guarantees certain rejection. Wasting time is what it's all about.

I think that's called "nerd love" for someone with no social skills and wanting a girl at the house but not to do real "girlfriend" stuff with, like movies, going out to dinner or anywhere really. When I was in the navy some guys tried Cherry Blossoms, see if they are still in business, get a subservient girl from a poor asian rural area and she's your girl for life, in theory, until she becomes americanized and realizes things here are way different from where she is from. But if you keep her inside, beaten down, off tv and the shades drawn, you might be able to pull it off. She could be your "moose", like on MASH. Doubt you'll find a girl like that here, they got spines.

heh

if thats what you're looking for just bring a girl from russia, or one of those little Czech sex goddesses, south america or asia. you can advertise outright exactly what you want without having to "dress it up" and you will get only the responses interested in exactly that.

yea it wont last too long, couple months, maybe a few years, but then there are more where the 1st one came from ... you will never run out.

i cant give you links cause mods delete the posts then so you gotta do your own homework, but dont confuse them with the "marriage" sites, you arent looking to get married.
