This is a complaint I’ve heard from some men, but I wonder how common this situation is. How common is it for a woman who is actively looking for a boyfriend to have a side FWB (or multiple FWBs) while going on first/second/third dates with other men with whom they are looking for a long term relationship with?

Honestly the thought of a woman doing that is an absolute deal breaker for me, it just feels so disingenuous. I could never take a girl seriously who acted in this manner. Is this the norm now days, or is this just something that most women don’t do?
