Discreet dating glossary

What does FWB mean in dating?

FWB means friends with benefits: people who have a friendly connection and also meet for physical intimacy without being a conventional couple.

Friends with benefits

FWB: Friends with benefits.

FWB usually suggests more familiarity and repeat contact than a one-off encounter. The “friends” part can range from genuine friendship to a comfortable recurring connection, so profiles should state what level of conversation and contact they actually want.

How it may appear in a profile

“Looking for an easy-going FWB nearby.”
“A regular FWB would suit me better than one-off meetings.”
