- akiteonastring, on 07/06/2008, -9/+531good luck making it work out that simply.
- inactive, on 07/06/2008, -24/+437How is this relevant to the users of Digg?
- ThatDustyGuy, on 07/06/2008, -8/+381It's all fun and games until one of them falls in love with the other.
- Fluvant, on 02/27/2009, -22/+391So which half of the chart has STDs
- UncleCrapper, on 07/06/2008, -11/+246No, not true. In the minds of many, "friend with benefits" equals boyfriend or girlfriend in training. Unless the ground rules are set and understood early on, I have yet to see someone come out of these situations without being hurt.
- noahhoward, on 07/06/2008, -1/+216How else are you supposed to unlock all the achievements?
- MattFromSeattle, on 07/07/2008, -9/+182Totally fake - you never have that much sex in a traditional relationship.
- rald84, on 07/06/2008, -2/+151wow they even chose unisex names:
pat jesse sydney chris - TruthLies, on 07/07/2008, -3/+143From then on, it's a romantic comedy.
Oh wait, the guy above me already said that. - and303, on 07/06/2008, -6/+123They need to make it printable and put a signature field at the bottom.
- retrievalofyou, on 07/07/2008, -9/+111I prefer blow-up dogs. They're man's best friend with benefits.
- disrupter, on 07/06/2008, -23/+111Only works if you're attractive so won't work for about 98% of Diggers
- lisaawesome, on 07/06/2008, -0/+82Yeah one of the partners is always disappointed when it doesn't develop into more and then your prior friendship gets just a wee complicated. It is a very rocky road to travel.
- mike648, on 07/07/2008, -0/+82So your saying there is a chance
- Lane, on 07/06/2008, -9/+87Never Works....
- djtansey, on 07/07/2008, -6/+78I rarely comment on digg posts, but I had to comment on this one because I think represents something in our culture. Why are we so risk adverse? It seems everything we do in this country (writing from USA) is attempted to be done without any risk of hurt to oneself. What are people thinking? "Wow! I can have lots and lots of superficial relationships and have all the sex I want without ever feeling rejected!"?
I have witnessed this mentality both when in college and now among my peers in the workforce. I think one book, the Paradox of Choice (why more is less), described its roots lucidly. The author's tests showed that people only wanted to make choices that had the most limited effect on their future choices. That, as our opportunities in life have abounded, we've become less willing to commit to any one of them because we aren't determined enough about any one choice to consider it the "best" and worth rejecting the other ones for. Freedom can be debilitating if you don't have the wisdom to know what to do with it... (so can externalizations of happiness -- that it is supposed to be presented to you in the form of some perfect partner instead of created by you with whichever partners you end up with in life.) - cl2yp71c, on 07/07/2008, -2/+62From then on, it's a load of fail.
- bowermr, on 07/06/2008, -4/+62Dugg for highlighting the awkward and yet completely necessary "Talking Right Before Doin' It Conversation" that goes on between friends with benefits.
- doubledoh, on 07/07/2008, -5/+57HAHAHA. You humans and your "feelings".
- floorman56, on 07/07/2008, -0/+48Makes you wonder why you'd ever want a committed relationship?
When she introduces you to her new boyfriend and tells you she just wants to be "Just Friends" - LRG1, on 07/07/2008, -6/+50One word, anal
- kpne1home, on 07/07/2008, -1/+45Didn't Sienfield prove it can't work. They even had the sleeping over is optional part in there and it still didn't work.
- chrispr, on 07/06/2008, -2/+46My name is chris, and IM A MAN!
- jesperhh, on 07/07/2008, -1/+43ref:
http://www.explosm.net/comics/1334/ - Dested, on 07/06/2008, -1/+42Yes! Homosexuals dont have souls, so they obviously dont mind getting their heart broken like normal people.
- Hawk117, on 07/07/2008, -0/+37Never tell me the odds.
- seforbes, on 07/07/2008, -0/+34i noticed that too. i kept wondering why they used all guys names and then sydney (because that's my name.. and i'm a girl... and yeah) and then i realized they were all unisex and i felt sad.
i just recently got an email from my advisor at school and she called me Mr. Forbes.
i hate my parents. - Typhoon2009, on 07/07/2008, -12/+42I've never understood 'friends with benefits'... I mean if you're ***** each other why not just 'officially' go out?
Then again, maybe my lack of understanding is tied in with being nearly 17 and still not even had a first kiss, having most girls just ask me for homework or in-class work help, and the only posts on my facebook profile from women being 'happy birthday'
:'( - Spudster, on 07/07/2008, -0/+29Fixing other people's grammar online: The fastest way to NOT get laid.
- MrBill79, on 07/07/2008, -0/+27I think that's called prostitution.
- seforbes, on 07/07/2008, -0/+27well.. considering my full name and the link was in my profile to begin with, i have to say... you are quite a detective wallitron :)
- mithrasinvictus, on 07/07/2008, -4/+29Without portfolio diversification, the number of (previous) sexual partners could be the same for both systems.
- dangermouse4, on 07/06/2008, -28/+52Makes you wonder why you'd ever want a committed relationship?
- DejectedRobot, on 07/07/2008, -5/+28Too bad all friends with benefits relationships are doomed to fail.
- Bleahdom, on 07/07/2008, -7/+29Shouldn't the "Doin' It" part of the traditional relationship pie chart be smaller in proportion to the other stuff?
- Nauru, on 07/07/2008, -0/+22That would require digg users to get off the computer and make friends.
Nope. - photobitch, on 07/07/2008, -3/+24doesnnntttt wooorrrrkkkkkkkkk. it does at first then someone gets attached
- nathron, on 07/07/2008, -6/+26You know not everybody that has sex has STDs. It's not a valid reason to feel better about your virginity. :)
- wwwdot1jesdotus, on 07/07/2008, -4/+24Everyone knows you can't mix "this" with "that".
- wallitron, on 07/07/2008, -4/+23Oh dear, Digg user just outs hereself as female in the comment section, with her full name. This is just asking for some douche bag to post a myspace page.
http://www.myspace.com/sydneyforbes
Yes, I am that douche bag. - Amadeus2490, on 07/07/2008, -6/+24Everything about your post made me violently ill.
- DeeprBlue, on 07/07/2008, -1/+19It's Pat!
- KaiUno, on 07/06/2008, -3/+20Probably even better. Bigger pool of people for your "benefit".
- inactive, on 07/07/2008, -0/+17It doesn't work when you're asexual however.
- gfunk76, on 07/07/2008, -0/+17Because friends with benefits are no longer around when you grow old. Companionship.
And, yeah, anal. - ydt89, on 07/06/2008, -4/+20well I only have one hand and only 2 fingers left on my left hand.
- terajoule, on 07/07/2008, -1/+16LOL. I hear you, man. I was the same way when I was your age (minus the facebook stuff). Just give it some time and don't get sucked into a long term relationship with the first girl that accepts you!
- misspiggymess, on 07/06/2008, -13/+28Haha: "Describing yourself as "we"
- unknownohm, on 07/07/2008, -3/+17where's the chart that shows how long you can be a friend until they flip out and want a relationship???? that's the snag I alway's ran into
- cydlys, on 07/06/2008, -7/+21Does this work if you are bisexual?
