I know it's not fair to generalize. That's not what I'm trying to do. I guess I'm just asking based on other users experiences, since I'm fairly new to the platform. I'm interested to know if many people who are looking for friends ever go further im sexual territory. Also, as a side question, how many are in relationships but end up cheating for lack of a better word?

I can say from my experiences, of just purely communicating with people via tinder, OkC and Hinge, there have been people who note that they are unhappy in their relationships or it's a lot of work and they are looking for an intimacy, that they otherwise haven't been receiving from their partner.

I personally am looking for friends without any ulterior motives but as I look deeply into the term friend, maybe there are some type of preservations involved, just being there for someone, being a confidant.

It's been awhile since I've had a circle of friends. I left my past friends due to really toxic codependency, lies and deaths. My bff flirted a lot with me and so I guess I just don't know what other people are looking for. Nobody's Perfect but I myself I'm just trying to figure out what people's intentions are initially because not everyone is forthright and ultimately I know that everyone is human so I don't personally mind the flirtation or the extra intimacy so long as I know what I'm getting myself into.
