What do women think of somebody like me who travels a lot for work and who would love to meet a lovely woman to pass some nice evenings (or days sometimes) with, having dinner, a drink, etc ...
and maybe becoming friends with benefits, because a relationship is really difficult when you're away from home a lot.

What sort of benefits?

physical benefits ...

Women have a variety of opinions. Some are still looking for the high school quarterback to sweep them off their feet and they will be aghast! Some think Mr Right is still out there (after all these years) and they will be aghast!

Some women have experienced life and will have a much more mature opinion about things like that. They may also have a similar situation to yours. Seek those out and escape the judgment of the holy roller wanna-be's who have no life of their own but love to judge yours.

Those are very wise words!
Thanks a lot!!

In most situations you would have to pay for this

I'm putting it as a "bonus".
Some nice company during dinner or enjoying a good glass of wine would be very nice already

So rather than pay for the physical activity with giving her money, like Freebird said, you're going to buy her dinner and a glass of wine? Interesting!

OT... What others think, especially a bunch of strangers, doesn't matter. It's what works for you and the lady who wants to go out with you.

Myself, I travel a lot doing seasonal work. Having a man at every port wouldn't work for me. I'm more of a long term gal. If I were to meet the right one for me, I would either stop traveling so much or have him travel with me. Or just put forth the effort while being long distance until the time came when we could get rid of the distance.

Best of luck to you, I'm sure there are plenty of women out there who want the same as you.

Hey Riverspirit..
I think you misunderstood a bit.
I mean: I spend quite a lot of evenings in hotels. I'm not the kind of person to go out to a bar and talk to random strangers.
And having dinner all alone 4 times in a row, like this week, is not always fun.
That's why I said it would be nice to have somebody to talk to during dinner, or while enjoying a good glass of wine.
I did not imply this should lead to more or that my intentions are to have sex after dinner or whatever....
It's more like having a "good friend" in several places, who you know you can meet whenever you're there. For me, that would work better than having to talk to a stranger every night.
I hope this makes sense? :-)

Realistically, go for it as long as you are not married, engaged or in a permanent relationship with someone.

Soldiers and sailors have been doing this for a long time.
I met many wonderful women while on liberty in other countries.
I know people that have married and happily raised families after meeting by chance.

While some of my encounters resulted in sex, not all did and some were enjoyable anyway.
You might try calling some excort services before you hit town.

I suggest you leave the FWB part out of your dating site requests.
While it is honest, it puts women off.
When I was single, I never dated any woman without an inner hope to get lucky.
Its always best to let that happen naturally (it does, I assure you).

I see nothing wrong with a single man wanting short-term company.
If you must get laid, spend the money and get laid.

Good luck finding company.
Who knows, you might find ... The One.

Not a lot of women would go for this situation. So it is up to you to prove that you just want to have dinner and lovely conversation on days that you are in town. And if you are buying dinner and wine, that is a big plus. You got to have a charming winning personality to do this. This is a typical "activity partner." Don't mention sex.. don't even think about... let the friendship grow first.

It might work as long as it is "activity partner" and no sex. So good luck.

Yes, that makes sense and sounds like what rosie is talking about... an activity partner. And yes, it's nice to have dinner with someone you know in the area, rather than always by yourself.

I believe if you follow rosie's suggestion, you will have better luck. Take it slow, keep it as friends, and if more happens naturally then it does, but if it doesn't... you'll at least have a good friend to hang out with, without any kind of pressure.

Best of luck to you.

Looks like you changed what you're looking for to dating... good move! Intimate encounter is basically saying you want sex. That was were the confusion came in with my original post.

River, so he had sex in mind then? oh women would see right through this guy.

now he calls it dating

Maybe not rosie... maybe it was pointed out to him what that meant online... so he changed it.

And to be honest rosie... there are times when I have that on my mind. Not that I would act on it with just anyone... but I do think about it.

Maybe....

ok we might be off topic here, but did you mean looking for activity partner?

I've heard of homeless chicks,
who put out for TJ Swann, and Spaghettios.


Best of luck.
