It seems like one side usually has stronger feelings and is only agreeing to be "friends with benefits" because it's better than nothing.

Really, the only advice I can give you is not to become "friends with benefits". You are right about the fact that the person agrees to such a concept because of unrequited love, yes, but in the end, it hardly works out. One or the other will eventually get tired of the "relationship" going nowhere, and someone (or perhaps both) will end up getting hurt. If this happens, then you can very well imagine what a strain it will put on your friendship.
Also, it is in my opinion that "friends with benefits" is actually quite rude and an insult. Basically the person is saying that, sorry, you aren't good enough to be their boyfriend/girlfriend.
I dunno, but that's just my thinking. My two cents.

Oh, incredibly? it incredibly is strange. Why do I and none of my friends do intercourse and medicines, party consistently yet get good grades fairly and handle others how we would elect to be dealt with? We might desire to be losers. And as far as i comprehend, young toddlers have consistently been this form. each decade has it is undesirable nutts. And idk if u have observed yet with each coming decade there are much greater charitable young toddlers. We in no way shot black ppl with hoses, we did not do pot as freely as back interior the hippy days, we did not segregate the Asians, homosexuals not excepted everywhere, and so on. The adults for the time of those days thought the youngsters have been definitely satanists. As I keep in mind, the previous generations had carried out all that stuff. yet, look how they grew to become out. nice! Oh, and what era has had greater guidance standards? And what age team has to %. up the extensive mess the older generations left in this economic equipment, not even in a position to get a role after college... hmmmm?

Friends with benefits isn't a good idea b/c there are alot of feelings involved on one side and the other person has no feelings for that person on their side.

You answered the question perfectly. Even if it starts out in agreement, one will end up wanting more. Some one always gets hurt.
