It's not a friend, it's a tool. If someone calls it their friend, they don't mean it literally.\n\nRawlyn.

"Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value; rather is one of those things that give value to survival."\n- C. S. Lewis

I'm a 21 year old female, kinda of mature for my age, so add a few years.. Anyway, the title "freind with benefits" is implying that there is more to the freindship. When someone is more friendly with another we would refer to this as flirting... So what would be more to a freindship?   When the word "benefits" is attached to "freind," what this really means is that the two are taking advantage of each other with no such thing as a commitment; which includes sexual activity.

Love - an intense feeling of tender affection and compassion, a passionate feeling of romantic desire.\n\nFriendship - a relationship between individuals, organizations, or countries that is characterized by mutual assistance, approval, and support.\n\nThis is only the contextual difference, in reality there is a very thin line separating love and friendship, where opposite sexes are involved.\n\nYou can love your friend, your wife, your dad…you can love music, sports etc. etc..\nBut you can have friendship with a living entity only..\n\nFriendship can evolve into Love also..

Now come on, do you really have like 50 male friends and like 30 female friends? That's hard to believe. Do you know the definition of a friend? A real friend?\n\nThis word was actually harder to define than I thought it would be. To get started, I checked the dictionary that stated a friend is "a person who knows and likes another, a person who favours and supports and a person who belongs to the same side or group."\n\nBy those definitions I have hundreds, maybe thousands, of friends, but I truly believe it goes beyond these definitions. A friend must do much more than like you. To me, a friend is someone who knows all about you and likes you anyway. Being a friend means more than recognizing that no one is perfect, it means accepting it.\n\nI, like most people, have many flaws. My true friends not only tolerate these weaknesses but also love me because of them. They either help me see them myself without dwelling on them or they even help me to overcome some of these weaknesses. A friend is someone who doesn't ask you to change but helps you to grow.\n\nThe most important quality a friend can demonstrate is loyalty. This means standing by you when the going gets a little rough, not just in the good times. It means standing up for you at all times, not letting others demean you in any way, and never taking advantage of you or treating you badly.\n\nBeing supportive is yet another important quality in a friendship. This means cheering for you when things go your way, and being there during the bad times. Good friends allow you to make mistakes that you can learn from and forgive you for them. Loyalty, support, honesty and acceptance are so important to me that I would rather have 5 friends that fit my definition as opposed to 1000 "friends" that fit the dictionary definition.\n\nUnlike family, we choose our friends. If your "friends" aren't all of the things that are important to you, then you should ask yourself why you are calling them a friend.\n\nMaybe one of the 30 females who like to be more than a friend. Good luck hun

First, you need to realize that your definition of the word "friends" is taken from a dictionary of errors. What you have described here is NOT friendship. Acquaintances, sure, but not friends.\n\nReal friends aren't looking out for their own benefit over yours.  You may not want to end your relationships with these people, but give the relationship a more realistic name, and put your attention to finding someone who might actually BE a friend to you.

there is a saying that one could estimate you with the kind of friends you have\n\nLet me tell u this way friends arent the people we search for but friends are those who are behind you when you are in need\n\nOne who wipes off your tears in sorrow is your friend and One who has got same views and aims are your friends\n\nand each friend of you shows one charecter that is internally attracting you are the charecters that you like or love to be\n\nwhen ever you try to find out a good friend think who was supporting you when you were in trouble and who are criticizing you fearlessly are your real friends\n\nso please be wise while choosing a friend my friend

Those kind of 'friends' you don't need.  Drop the loser!  Some use a so called friendship to get close enough to hurt you and make themselves look better.  Those people have low self esteem and bolster it by hurting others and making them look bad.  It is the same as bullies.  They cover up their insecurities in different but similarly hurtful ways.  Eventually, people will get to know these losers for what they are.  Try not to let it get to you, it just feeds the fire for them.  Tell people who listen to these persons to consider the source, to consider what kind of person he/she is and what they like to do to people.  Tell them that if they want the truth, to ask you...otherwise, they are just as bad as the rumor mongers.  Sorry for your mess, I hope this helps a bit.
