I know the cake and eat it to saying. What I did not understand was what you meant by “friend with benefits."
So I’m modern terms “friend with benefits” means mutual satisfaction with no ties.

Okay. There are good reasons for instance for wanting to have the job you have now.

I think perhaps, friend "without benefits" would be more appropriate.
If one finds a friend of "like mind", one does not have to be so careful as one gets older .. past the menopause I mean..
..and while men don't strictly have a menopause, they certainly aren't as virile as they age.
It is more about compatiblity and enjoying each others company.
I have difficulty in finding both men and women that I get on with.
I have recently met a young Polish man at a men's group .. in his 30's .. we get on well .. he's married with children and works in engineering .. he's a believer, and we have mutual respect for each other.
I value such relationships, as I find that many people don't share my values. I've lived my life with one or two good friends, but would rather be "a loner" than be in company with people that find religion a "bit of a joke".
My wife had 7 children for me, but wanted a divorce as they reached late-teens .. too stressful for both of us .. I've been single [parent] for ~19 years now .. weary.
I don't see my ex, as she is a devout Muslim and does not want social contact .. we both have respect for each other .. and I'm invited to her house by my daughters who live with her, but she keeps out of the way. Sadly, she has MS. I wish there was more I can do.
God, the Most High, is sufficient for us, and we put our trust in him.
@Trailblazer .. don't be lonely .. get out and meet people .. the difference between belief and disbelief is vast .. orthodox Christians and Muslims share your values. We should not be arguing or falling out over denomination .. discussing, yes.
