Logic boy ….
I am sure FWB could be anything you want 😉

Have I missed something... Is FWB actually Fun Wobbly Bits and how does it relate to an affair... Is it like "a bit on the side", love handles or more like jelly... I'm confused!
Also, had my first meet via IE and although unclear where that will go, time will tell, but it has really helped me clarify what I want / dont want and am willing / not willing to do. I terms of the original question - there was a long distance involved and I'd say it meant I could let my guard down. Saying that I was nervous to a degree but at least not worried about impacting home situation from being seen.
Not sure about distance and it's impact on an affair - still waiting to find out.

FWB
Same thing in my book . Think I’m spending too much time with the young team.
I’m sure my profile doesn’t say FWB but is has been creeping in to my vocabulary .
Dose the use of FWB put the ladies off ?

It’s just interesting. A lot of men (no idea about the women) on here say on their profile they’re looking for a FWB. How does it differ from an affair?

Beckysharp. I think any man / woman on the othere end would struggle to say a FWB is not an affair

And do you consider a FWB an affair funguy77?

Just having a bit of banter with colleagues at work
It’s all just hypothetical
Some have same opinions othered are borderline obsessive lol
For me I’m here for fwb to enhance my life not to change it or others..
Thanks for the contribution it’s caused an argument at work pmsl
Beckysharp - 29 Aug, 2023 - 02:32PM
I’d say only one person in that hypothetical (?) scenario wants an affair funguy77!

I totally agree.
I'm single BUT I'm not here to cause hurt/trouble for anyone's spouse/partner and definitely do not want to be part of anyone's situation exploding as you say ... I'm beyond careful on everyone's behalf!

For me I am not here for an emotional friendship... however close it might me, I am here for some great unadulterated fun great sex with a like minded person, with someone who I like and respect and am attracted to, I think if I had been "seeing" them for months without finalising the deal ... then I would cancel the deal....
But in answer to your question, I think emotional connection/friendships would still be consider cheating. For example would it be easier to forgive a ONS or say prostitute situation rather than a long term friendship/affair ....??

Guys thanks as always. Having some fun with this at work lol .
Yip I definitely see it as cheating but not an affair seems quite obvious but some people disagree but hay ho each to our own .
But here’s the twist… what about an emotional connection
What if you have been seeing your IE for months maybe longer you travel distance to see each other but haven’t finalised the deal lol but there a emotional attachment??
I think that ricks the box right sex is the only missing part but intent is there
Any way happy Tuesday x
TheBoredHousewife - 29 Aug, 2023 - 01:25PM
@Funguy77
Not an affair, and neither would an extramarital ONS be one. It would be cheating though, without a shadow if a doubt. At least I’m sure the spouse would think so!
@Sandypops
Sailing well close to home here. Personally I do what I do, not because I want to leave my husband, so PDA where there is even a chance of being spotted is out of the question for me. But each to their own 😊

Funguy77 no I wouldn’t consider that an affair. Is it cheating though? Yes I guess. Would a spouse consider it an affair… possibly. Going on a date and kissing someone is risking divorce if found out imho 🤷♀️

Agree with Dotty G, Sandy... you are taking massive risks.... what if she had said it in front of your daughter? What if she did see you in the lift / carpark in kissing-mode? You actually don't know if she did... and the thing is - she'll tell someone else, without a shadow of a doubt... It's good gossip!
And I think this is the guy who was trying out another lady wasnt he... then he picked her?
I know we are all different - your level of risk is clearly high.. so I'd just say I hope your Plan B and Plan C are in place in case it blows up....
it would terrify me, and I'm single! But I dont want someone else's situation to explode, so either way those risks arent for me....
But each to their own...

Like Dotty, I never ever do PDAs and it's my IE who makes the 200% effort and travels to my area ... unless it suits me to be down in London to shop or coincide with meeting real life friends either before or after the IE meet.
Dotty Green - 29 Aug, 2023 - 09:37AM
Funguy77 - 29 Aug, 2023 - 09:33AM
Nope - agree with you - it is a kiss - not an affair - could it lead to an affair well yes if it is good!

I was thinking about the long distance meets, another thing why it would not work for me (and I appreciate it does work for some)is that for me it would take so much planning, and would I end up seeing a lover who lived 100 miles away as much as I see a lover who lives/works in the same City. I get messages, lets meet for lunch today or are your free for a drink of the way home,or shall we try and meet next week, for me someone who is London or Home Counties way just works.
Sandypops - wow - that is a huge risk, and one I would not personally take unless you or him were looking for an exit strategy. I think for me the sexy/naughty thing is not being all over each other in public, the little glances, the flirty chat, the odd brush. We bumped into clients of one of my IEs in the pub, we got papers out and poured over them as if we were working together. I always have the excuse of someone I know through work or Politics or old friends depending who we bumped into, but I think I would steer clear of my doorste

Do you consider a date night that ends in a snogging as an affair ?
Having a debate with like minded colleagues some say yes totally where I say no it’s just a kiss ?

@Paula99, you're right long distance relationships do take more effort. They're also easier when your in work, which is not an issue for most of us, including me😁.
So keep searching everyone, it should be worth the effort, but isn't always.
Sandypops - 29 Aug, 2023 - 02:51AM
The furthest I've travelled is an hour and a half. The closest, 5 mins away from where I live and a minute from my business premises 🤦🏻♀️
And I did spend the day with a guy (we went shopping for clothes for his holiday during his 'recovery' break 😂) in a town about half an hour from where I live. Due to my business, a lot of people know me and a client came up to me a few weeks later and said 'oh I saw you in Staines the other week'. My mind was racing so I just said 'oh you should have said hi' her reply 'you looked busy' got me thinking where she might have seen me - the kiss in the glass lift, kissing in the car park, holding hands, his arm round me or at the hotel 🤦🏻♀️ and thinking thank goodness she didn't say it in front of my daughter (who works with me) especially if she'd assumed I was with my husband who I'm sure she's met a few times.
But the guy is a bit of a risk taker as well. We'd meet 10 mins from his house and I went to his house 🤦🏻♀️

Distance cannot, and will not hurt a bond between two people that is based on mutual respect, trust, commitment, and love.Jealousy is not a sign of true love; it's insecurities that comes in the way, 'cause love has just one important ingredient: Trust
ExoticOrchid - 28 Aug, 2023 - 01:05PM
As per my comment from the other week:
[ExoticOrchid - 01 Aug, 2023 - 01:52PM
It can be either or it can be both ... those involved need to make a lot of effort, in fact one
party more than the other with travelling for distance to work.]
In my experience, most men would say "distance is not a problem" when they are super keen at the start and then when the novelty has worn off then "distance becomes a problem" ... however, there are also those who make 200% effort to make it work, not just from another county BUT from another country!!! Go figure!

NO!!!!!!!! Awww FunGuy..... can I ask - had you met her in person before though? This wasnt the first actual meet was it, just the first hotel meet?
As for taking flight - well, a bit like some of the guys I've experienced here - they don't really think through why they are on here! And the meeting in person, being seen, going through with it - it all becomes a reality when they are in front of you...
But if you'd met her before in person then its bad she's done that in that way.... You'd like to believe she'd get the nervous itch before setting off - and before she left home (so she didnt mess you around).....
Back to the drawing board Funguy!!!....

Sometimes it can suppress … but being not to far away sometimes can be a little scary.. so it’s finding someone who is very understanding and fun …then the travelling to me wouldn’t matter x

Up to A two hour travel time is acceptable. It means meeting has to be planned , anticipated and the carelessness of just popping around to see each other is taken away.
Funguy77 - 26 Aug, 2023 - 10:52AM
Ps
Iv already lined up a first meet with a lovely lady for the 7th 👍
Upwards and onwards right..is any man from says on here that there’s no action in Scotland there talking out there arse 😜

It’s all good I would rather she done a runner before hand than get to the room then freak out or totally regret doing something and having to live with the guilt.
But ultimately I think in hindsight more time and chat would have been better .
Anyway it’s a talking point x

@Hedone… One of the first questions I now ask, saves wasting both our times is… How often can you meet? And when are you most available?
Daytime, evening’s or other times? 🤔.
@Funguy77
Unfortunately, through this forum , I’ve read a lot of the same. Males/females taking flight. Bad behaviours etc…
Anyhoo…

Dotty Green …
I agree totally..if you are not supposed to be in a certain place and you can’t get home …it does put a strain on your affair and it becomes a drama you don’t need …
I do know that there are some ladies/gents that have had and are still in long term distance relationships and are making it work but it does take a ‘ double ‘ effort..
Distance affair isn’t for everyone but it can be done ..😉

@ Legs&Eyes - 25 Aug, 2023 - 08:57PM
Wow where to start . Yes your right I had a first hotel meet on Thursday. Everything was going well we met at the station and decided to go for a drink you know Dutch courage. Has a wee chat about mundane stuff then decides to go to our room ….
Got to the hotel we checked in paid the bill “DayUse” we then proceeded to walk to the elevator………..Boom she then started to freak out panic attack I can’t do this she was saying then bolted out like the road runner
I was totally gob smacked speechless in front of about 10 or so guests left holding the bag 😂🤣😂 I tryed to text her that night but she’s deleted her account
Man I have never had that happen before all I could do was laugh in the lobby and I coyser a couple of guests pissing themselves
So to top it off .. it gets better my f@@ing car broke down on the way home so I had the added joy of that and explaining where I was and why I was so late
Man Thursdays are a bitch right n

Enigma and Hedone,
I agree, but again (and I hate to keep saying it), it seems much easier to do this in London. I don't drive to meets, meet in town, half an hour max....
I would be too worried doing something further afield, imagine having to explain why your car broke down, or trains cancelled and you are stuck somewhere miles from where you should be..............

Completely agree, those that want to dispute it, well I guess they will learn the hard way.
I work long hours, I do not want to spend my affair time commuting, even if he’s Michael Morrone ;-) it won’t work.
It’s the ones that say at the start distance isn’t an issue then it becomes an issue when they’ve been stuck on the m25 for 2 hours plus!
I establish two things before I decide to continue a chat, distance and whether they are a day or evening meeter

Distance does not work “affair wise”.

I had a first meet with a chap from here about 3 months ago. He was a first timer, and I was his very first meet. We met 30 miles from his home, at a hotel bar he approved of in terms of location.
It was the most unpleasant 75 mins of my life - he was paranoid, jumpy, didn’t maintain eye contact, speaking aloud about ‘what if son sees me here, what if daughter walks in….’ As we left, he walked 3 feet in front of me, no physical contact (my profile expresses how tactile I am) - and shook my hand in the doorway?!?
He followed with a message an hour later to tell me he couldn’t wait to get me alone in a bedroom?!?! 😱
Not. F**king. Likely.
As a result, I won’t now meet any first timer. Or, someone who appears doubtful about been seen.
Everyone on this site is doubtful about being seen!!

It worked both ways for me. The person I did meet, before they went back to the US, and 3000 miles of water is a little far even for me, we arranged to meet in the middle and it worked ok ( she was about 100 miles away). Things had to be planned though. It was fun and the anticipation enhanced the meet. I am with beechmore on that. The day leading up to the meet and the drive there, got nothing done at all but so much fun. Having said that I do hope to meet someone closer this time if I am lucky enough

i think that being further away would make it hard but also the journey to that person would be so sexy as you'd have time to contemplate what was about to happen (hopefully!)
1616941 - 16 Aug, 2023 - 09:33PM
I’ve only been on here a few days but…It seems to me that the next county makes most sense, if only because if I check into a hotel I don’t want to be looking over my shoulder to see if any of my friends are out for dinner 🤣 and by driving for 40 minutes or so I’d assume there is a smaller possibility of meeting someone with whom I have social connections. Not that I have any experience in that regard but I have spent a long time daydreaming…
JimmyG789 - 16 Aug, 2023 - 03:32PM
Like many have said it all depends upon the details , it's a nuanced reply
If you want to see each other but life circumstances mean once a month is all you can do, well distance is less of an issue isn't it ?
I've has this kind of relationship and how it worked for us was I'd book us into a lovely hotel for an all day extravaganza of fun supplemented with room service.
I've also experienced the "close enough to catch up for a coffee after work" affair.
They were both wonderful ....
It's the details that make it work or not

I think it’s different for each situation, I’m able to travel quite freely and frequently to certain areas as I travel as part of my job. Midweek meet up is possible for me traveling 2 to 3 hours but for others that’s impossible for a number of reasons.

Depends on people's situations. Some may not be prepared to travel due to finical, logistical & personal constraints. Others may prefer the distance if it means they can conduct an illicit affair away from home with little to zero chance of being seen or caught.

Last year I was messaged by several males from down south, especially the London area, who thought it was easy for me to just hop onto a plane and fly to an airport to meet them.
Sure…. An hour’s plane journey in nothing to some.
But trains, taxis and flights all cost money and take up time.
I really wish that some males on the site would Google where Ayr actually is before sending me a message.
Saves wasting both our times 🙄🤷🏼♀️.

It takes time . I have only been on her for 4 weeks and I have had lots of lovely chat and two meets
But what I will say is that 90% of the women on here won’t make the first move
Sandypops - 07 Aug, 2023 - 12:26AM
As I've said before, I love a road trip and am more than happy to travel and I have the time to travel.
My question though to those of you having affairs (or having had affairs) with people a long way away is .... how do you cope with only meeting infrequently? If of course you do only meet infrequently. Do you men end up with one arm looking like pop-eyes forearm and do you ladies have a ridiculously huge electricity bill 😂

I guess being lazy and in London never really had to worry too much about distance, but for me a long distance just would not work, it would be far too complicated to work out excuses and if I got stuck 200 miles from home what would my reason for being there be?

I think it’s perfect to be honest. Keeps it fresh and less likelihood of getting caught as meeting less frequently. It only really works if one party travels for work.

I had a similar affair a few year back but I was in my early 40.s …it’s not something I would do at my age but it can work as you have shown…😁
Secret_Desires - 03 Aug, 2023 - 07:21PM
I think it can definitely enchance the affair, for the right person the travelling is worth it.
I’ve had 1 long term affair with a man who lives just under 4hrs away and i travelled 200 miles round trip each time.

Totally agree with you all on long distance being unlikely to work, but….. in my late ‘30’s I had a long and very happy affair with a married lady who was in Wales some 3 hours from me.
I would drive up early. Sometimes stay nearby or even with her if her hubby was away out of the country.
We had five years of a fabulous affair which fizzled naturally and we remained friends secretly for a good while after.
It was a lovely thing and so it can work but I would say not often!!

Erotic Orchid
To have a successful affair ther has to be give and take and the realisation that lady have to deal with child care amongst juggling a affair there would be nothing worse than having a meet when one of you is worried about getting back
The time spent together shoul be special and stress free hopefully
Or at least the stress released by the meet 😉😉
ExoticOrchid - 01 Aug, 2023 - 01:52PM
It can be either or it can be both ... those involved need to make a lot of effort, in fact one party more than the other with travelling for distance to work.

@Elegant, but damned naughty I like you, but can you make the distance work? I'm located in SO

Completely agree
Some men just do not understand how this works.
I’ve spent the morning trying to explain to someone how a 2 hr travelling time would just not work and how they are wasting my time even suggesting it.
Then they get all defensive and rude!
Unbelievable

Unfortunately the Lothian area is too far out for me to travel to.
To risky to drive that far.
It would take too long on public transport.
Due to home “circumstances” Glasgow is about as far as I can travel these days. Usually by train.
Pity the teleport hasn’t been invented yet… lol 😝

Clearly you have no idea of the responsibility and logistics of travelling out of your known areas..
If you work in that area then you have a legitimate reason to be there but for the OP that decides to do that is more difficult….road works …motor accidents.. being in the wrong place at the wrong time ..😬

Sandy & Becky…
I had an offer from a male, a couple of days ago, to meet halfway.
His halfway was Somerset 🙄😂 🤷🏼♀️.
Sure I replied… I’ll be with you in about 8.5 hours 😂.
What a total (insert a few appropriate words)…

I love a road trip. And I have lots of flexibility daytime to drive to meet. It seems daft that if I'm meeting someone whilst they're working from home and only have a couple of hours available, they spend some of that time travelling. I'd much rather travel and get more time with them 😊 but men always seem surprised by this.

Enigma - I totally agree. I used to work in London pre-Covid and it was relatively easy to make a date to see someone after work back then. Not only was it logistically pretty easy but there were lots of members to chat and make plans with. Now that I don't travel for work anymore and spend most of my time in the North West (Merseyside) it's definitely the case that you can go weeks /months before there's anyone remotely suitable to meet up with!
Like yourself, I think I'll immerse myself in Flirt Forum until things change !

It seems to me that if you don’t live in London, where all the action appears to be taking place 😉, then you can go for weeks even months before someone remotely suitable comes along.
I’m getting messages from males in Northern Ireland, Wales, England and especially Scotland that are way out of reasonable travelling distance.
Most of the messages are from males who live in various counties in England!?!
What’s more…. They are all saying the same thing. No one new joining in their areas. Those who are still active they have already messaged and it hasn’t worked out for various reasons and, it seems, no one is prepared to travel for hours for a meet.
I guess we should all stick with Flirt Forum. It’s certainly the only action I’m getting from the site for now 😉😂😁.

For me a central meet in London West End or City is the best, I would then say neither has to travel more than an hour depending how far on the outskirts one could be.
exiled biker - 24 Jul, 2023 - 11:08AM
I have always been open to travelling distances as long as it reflects the length of the booking, I have in past enjoyed a nice break in Cheltenham, several hours away but enjoyed a lovely overnight and morning!
Anything local is more difficult due to fewer members and need for discretion.
1612345 - 24 Jul, 2023 - 09:24AM
Going from one postcode to another in London by public transport can take up to over two hours. That's four hours out of your blissful encounter. Of course, if you agree to meet half-way, then it's only an hour. But even so, London has its own travel problems, you better believe it. Proximity, proximity and proximity are the three things that matter in a successful affair.

Some interesting comments on here, I’m in the West Country & this can be an issue. Although my lifestyle has fewer limitations than most (early/semi retirement, children grown up etc etc) and tbh I don’t mind driving if the fit is good.

I would say long distances can kill an affair. If both of you are married then snatching those times to meet is difficult enough as it is , without spending half the time travelling. I would rather be having fun than listenng to the radio in my car.

I think you need goldilocks, no, not someone who steals porridge (why?), but, it should be not too close to be noticeable (and perhaps mundane) and not too far that it is incomprehensible of meeting more that once in a blue moon..
Paula99 - 13 Jul, 2023 - 06:58PM
Fluffy …TBH
I am with you in this one …the extra stress of distances ..road works ..cancellations …all and sundry makes the whole process a no go area for me…I speak from experience..
My children are grown up but a lot have school ages and if your children need you ..you HAVE to be there..
If you don’t have off spring then sometimes it could be husband/family issues. For those who travel for their professions then it is slightly easier..you have a bed 😉for the night..
The key to success is planning and 2 people that are willing to put in that extra 10%….It is rare if you find this in one lifetime ….
My previous job allowed me to indulge myself plus I was younger and it was an enlightening time of my life ..😁

Depends on the individuals. For example, I travel to London/Edinburgh fairly frequently so it would be handy if my 'opposite number' was around in those locations. I think with a lot of people working from home now it makes day-time fun a bit harder to arrange.
Billybush69 - 12 Jul, 2023 - 12:45PM
Although long distance is ideal for maintain discretion it most definitely impacts on frequency of meets
I suspect most people want close to enable get together readily
It isn’t easy especially if you are married to have an excuse for being away several hours and definitely to share an overnight with somebody
It is obviously easier if one of the two is separated or di or divorced

I personally wouldn't travel further than an hour on the motorway. 2 hours round trip is tiring enough for me. Plus, I wouldn't want to be further than that away from home. Accidents do happen, and that would be tricky to explain if you're somewhere you really would be unlikely to be.

A friend of mine came back onto this site last year.
Within 3 weeks she was telling me that most of the men in her chosen areas are the same men that were on the site 5 years before. Hardly any fresh meat.
She was being messaged, like myself, by men from England, Northern Ireland and mainly men from the North East/East coast of Scotland or from The Borders/Dumfries areas.
Not only was she finding distance was an issue but availability and timings were issues as well.
And my friend lives in Glasgow 🤷🏼♀️🙄😕.

I think quite often having a bit of distance removes the opportunity to make mistakes powered entirely by lust. Plus.... let's be honest folks...nowhere is too far nowadays and guys...if a lady is worth it then travelling shouldn't be an issue.
Sometimes it's about a little more than just a quick drive down the road to a "No Tell Motel" for a quick fumble

Bongo Jim
Your ideas are chivalrous and well meaning 😘But it entirely depends in what's at the end of the train line as to whether its worth the journey! It's not always a 'rent a room to fuck in' situation, sometimes it's something more lovely and fabulous than that. Once you've opened this door, it can lead almost anywhere. Not every situation here is the same.
But then, the traditional, conservative ways generally are not a pull to me. Travel and adventure would always be my calling...

Having an affair is better with distance as your more likely to get caught out closer to home
1586452 - 09 Jul, 2023 - 12:28PM
I find it quite surprising how many ladies jump onto a train to travel for a date. I believe that the only distance a woman should have to travel is far enough away from where she lives so she feels safe enough not to be spotted. It should be the guy doing the travelling. Maybe an old fashioned view but it's mine :)

Likewise with Enigma, being in the rural north east of Scotland means distance is one thing you have to be prepared to compromise on. There are plenty of pages of ladies in the what is effectively 3 counties,but very few are active

Reality plays it's part.... What do you want?
If it's a replacement partner or a way out of a bad relationship then local and more regular suits I guess if a quick shag is all that's needed....
Personally I think about a more measured approach... distance alone isn't an issue in itself, but logistics are.... I use the train a lot to go around the country (strikes permitting - which I support by the way as a good socialist, which will put off all the self entitled Tory boys) and am always much more relaxed than if I was driving....
And I don't need to see someone every week if they know how to communicate in between times....

We don't all have enough "free" time when having an affair to spend time travelling long distances to meet someone.
So why waste time travelling for an hours meet when you could meet someone closer to home for an afternoon of frolicking?
Only thing is the closer to home you are it might increase risk of being seen by someone you know. Does that risk turn you on? I love taking risks.

Where I live, South West Scotland, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to actually find someone who is active on the site within reasonable travelling distance to me.
I’m now finding myself having to spread my net further to look for (coughs lol) fresh bait. The East coast, further North and further South.
At this rate I’ll be searching over the border and in the London area soon lol.

I'm semi-rural in Hampshire and have been lucky to have (until recently) lovers that are within 30mins, meeting at a half-way point. Its the sweet spot of being far enough away but close enough to meet weekly.
I think anything over 60mins is pushing the boundary of do ability unless you are lucky enough to have all day or night. Plus you need to know them well enough that there is confidence they are actually going to turn up!
Eliza Boo - 05 Jul, 2023 - 12:39PM
Cue 700 people say they don't want distance - far enough fir safety, near enough for ease. Yeah we know...its alright if you live in or around London but that's an alternative reality to the rest of the British Isles.
As I've said before - convenience doesn't really fire up my loins... I need more.
