MEN are struggling to understand why women are so disapproving of a nice, cosy ‘friends with benefits’ scenario.  

Seeing it as the best of both worlds, men have admitted they honestly are unable to see the disadvantages and asked their female friends if they are able to list them then please do. 

Max, not his real name, said: “Friendship is nice. Sex is nice. Put them together and what have you got? Double nice. Maybe even nice squared. 

“It’s a friendship with a shared interest that you enjoy doing together, but in this case the interest isn’t tennis or Warhammer but fun, playful sex. I don’t get why going to an art gallery with a female friend is fine while going at it doggystyle is forbidden. 

“Friends with benefits means you can have all the joys of a satisfying sexual relationship and then engage in other activities you enjoy, like playing videogames, cooking or farting competitions. Without the downsides like caring about each others’ families and shit. 

“Women don’t trust men who don’t have female friends, so surely a man with multiple female friends is especially trustworthy even if the friends are under-35 and busty. Please, tell me what the problem is. I’m confident I can form strong counter-arguments.” 

He added: “Of course, if I’m asked what I’m after I say a loving, serious, committed, monogamous long-term relationship. I’m not f**king stupid.”
