Re: How many guys here would actually DATE a TS?
FWB does have a prerequisite commitment: that of being friends. The 'benefits' are sexual favors; not money, not material gain. In a FWB relationship it is universally understood that the 'benefits' are free of romantic entanglement and material compensation...but you do need to be a friend.
Why would a girl who could easily acquire a lover or just sell her body enter a FWB relationship? Perhaps because she's not ready to commit to a romantic relationship and she either doesn't want to sell her body for sex, or she's tired of one-night stands, or perhaps to her sex with clients is just acting. Perhaps FWB promises just the right amount of intimacy, safety and comfort.

Re: How many guys here would actually DATE a TS?
and they would be misusing the term as you do in posts #486 and #489. By definition FWB's are free of romantic and material entanglements. The conclusion you really seem to be reaching for is that true FWB's are rare or non-existent. Your argument for that conclusion is that the girl doesn't need sex (she can get plenty) and so her benefit gotta be money rather than sex. I gave a counterargument above which you haven't addressed.
I won't pretend to know just how many FWB relationships there are in proportion to other sorts of arrangements. You may be correct in assuming they're infrequent. I suspect they're unstable because one party may want the relationship to evolve romantically or one party will find a romantic partner and end the FWB. In any case, what Holzz is referring to in his posts an honest FWB relationship as it's universally understood by most people, except perhaps you.

Yeah, been there; done that. Seen a few friends give it a whirl; have a few friends who are making it work. It requires a certain amount of openness, trust and honesty: especially if one or both parties are seeking romantic satisfaction, just not with each other.

Re: How many guys here would actually DATE a TS?
It's a difficult relationship to sustain over time. I think it requires the rationalization of emotions which is somewhat of an oxymoron. In effect, to have a successful FWB relationship, one may need to subvert the very qualities that are needed in a romantic relationship. If the physical urges are too strong to ignore, it's much less complicated to just see an escort.
