Yeah he has a reason....Probably ego boost and/or back up plan.

Probably so he can still have sex with her.

The title and the post content refer to two different dynamics, presuming the common definitions, hence two different paths of response.

 

A fµck-buddy is a casual sex partner. The pleasure is in the sex. That's all

 

A person one used to have sex with where 'feelings' were involved is different. There was emotional bonding at some level. A girlfriend or boyfriend or wife or husband is an example of those.

 

Barring circumstances like sharing children to parent, people keep other people around because they like them or like how they appear or like what they can do or like how they make one feel. They can like without being emotionally attached.

 

A guy who has a 'black book' (my generation's version) likes women, the time he spends with them, what they bring to his life and it feels good to him that they respond to him. He likes that they like him enough to share their time or their bed with him.

 

How does that fit into committed relationships? How he chooses it to. Everyone is free to what they want, cognizant of consequences. His real or potential girlfriend or wife might disagree with his choice and he'll lose that one potential and move on to another. Life goes on.

They keep ex Fbuddies as friends because they never know when they may need extra sex on the side. Women sometimes do the same thing. Why are you asking?

To have sex with multiple partners. This is the goal of many men. You don't have to go along with it. Eventually, he will be back around for sex, when her new wears off. It's an ego boost.

As other said it's for an ego-boost or possible back-up (nothing wrong with those, hot girls do it all the time) but might also be for some side action (that's the real problem).

How does this boost his ego exactly ?

I've done it a few times myself, it just does.

Also letting the gf know about it keeps you as 'high value' and improves the dynamic — any guy that's done it will understand.

How is this an ego boost? Well, he can tell himself he's quite the stud if he's got more than one woman after him, plus he can brag to all his friends how he's juggling. How is it NOT an ego boost? Lots of guys can't get any women.

Wants options around in case it ever goes south with the girlfriend.

"Men have exactly zero interest in being mere "friends" with women who they wouldn't rather be banging".

 

*** there are exceptions relating to family, coworkers, and neighbors.

The only female "friends" I have are ladies I've slept with and still can anytime I want to. Sure..I like them as people and enjoy their company,but when I hangout with them it's for one reason....hint:not the conversation.
