        I’m not sure I’ve ever met someone “friendzoned” using a partner for that. Maybe for emotional support but what you described there is more how toxic relationships go down.

        You’ve made quite an insane assumption seeing this post and deciding that it had to be transactional.

                While that is probably true, friends with benefits is completely non-transactional.

                It’s just two friends who fuck when they feel like it. For example, an ex and I decided that we didn’t work as a couple, but the sex was great so we just kept doing that until one of us found a significant other.

                    No, it says “the guy will still sleep with you.” This is saying that guys will often be open to having sex with the woman who was friend-zoned if she initiates.

                    What it’s saying is that when a girl friend-zones a guy, he doesn’t get a relationship or sex. But when a guy friend-zones a girl, there’s a chance the only thing she doesn’t get is the relationship.
