I don’t know what people mean with stating ”friends first”. (I’ve asked on a few occasions, but never got any comprehensible answer.) For me a friend is the same as family, just not blood relative. You do everything for your family; it comes first no matter what. Why someone I never met, someone from a dating site of all places, wants me to shoulder that kind of loyalty for him is beyond my understanding. So when I see “friends first” I have 3 options to choose from:

1. He is an impotent, but doesn’t want to admit it straight away. Holding hands is all he’s capable to.

2. He’s got some kind of agenda, but is reluctant to air it, hence – he’s a hypocrite.

3. He doesn’t know what he wants, hence – he’s an idiot.


I don’t take people I don’t know for hypocrites or idiots without further information. So my sentiment when I see “friends first” is that – he’s an impotent.

Just looks like there are too many of them. Well… given my preferable age range it’s not a wonder… but still…

rolling on the floor laughing
When it comes to deciphering whether someone is an idiot or a hypocrite, just go with your instinct. If you are able to understand their post, they may not be an idiot but still may be disturbed. Just not enough to be institutionalized...yet.
Try adjusting your limited definition of hypocrite, as though English is elastic, it doesn't include those who do not state their 'agenda' or opinions; one does have to read or hear them first and compare that with other statements...wine

I like my friends.
I wouldn't consider dating anybody I don't like first.
I have been online friends with those I have dated in recent years.
None of them have been impotent, hypocritical or idiots.

But other people obviously are.

Option 4. "He" genuinely wants to be friends first and not rush into anything.

If I saw "friends first" on his profile, I would assume this and NOT your 3 options.

Some people make "friends" very quickly. It might be that he just wants to get to know someone beforehand.

I'm somehow with you on the same page - when I'm talking with someone about getting to know him, it is not with a view to friendship. I have friends. I also wouldn't have any interest in being friends with someone I wouldn't be interested in dating.

I would just have given them a berth. wave

Have you ever dated someone from a dating site that had "friends first" on their profile? Is your conclusion drawn from experience or insinuation? Maybe its a Swedish thing confused

Without sounding too offensive, it's not difficult to see why the more choosy may find it hard to "rise to the occasion "
