But the real question is: Why do guys like situationships? What\u2019s in it for them?<\/strong> Porque \u00e9 que um homem comum hoje em dia prefere encontros casuais a encontros a s\u00e9rio? Eis o que descobri:<\/p>\n I talked to some of my male friends and asked them, \u201cWhy do guys like situationships?\u201d Everything they told me can be summed up in these 14 answers:<\/p>\n Men are natural hunters. You know what guy likes you the most? The one who knows he can\u2019t have you. Or, to be exact, the one who has to perseguir-te.<\/a><\/p>\n When you get into a real relationship, there is no more chasing. What a relief, you must think. Well, it\u2019s like that for mature people. On the other hand, immature boys are addicted to the thrill of the chase.<\/strong><\/p>\n And that\u2019s exactly what they never stop getting in an Tipo de rela\u00e7\u00e3o FWB<\/a>. Nunca sabem o que vai acontecer a seguir e o que o amanh\u00e3 lhes reserva.<\/strong><\/p>\n Esta adrenalina mant\u00e9m um homem agarrado a si. Desta forma, as borboletas praticamente nunca desaparecem.<\/p>\n If a man is being honest, this is probably one of the most common answers he\u2019ll give to the question of \u201cWhy do guys like situationships?\u201d As complicated as it might seem, it\u2019s actually one of the simplest things in the world: gostam de receber tudo sem dar nada em troca.<\/strong><\/p>\n Basicamente, you\u2019re giving a guy all the benefits of a relationship without him actually calling you his girlfriend.<\/strong><\/p>\n You\u2019re there when he wants to go out on a date, he has someone to text whenever he feels like it, someone to travel with, and someone to call in the middle of the night when all of his friends are busy.<\/p>\n He has a girl to cuddle with, a girl to sleep next to, a girl to kiss, and, let\u2019s face it, most importantly, a girl he has at his disposal as a engate<\/a>. Este tipo tem algu\u00e9m que o ama, que cuida dele e que cumpre todos os deveres de namorada.<\/p>\n And what does he give you in return? That\u2019s right: one, big, nothing. You have no right to nag him or be jealous.<\/p>\n When you call him out for not giving you enough attention or forgetting your birthday, he just tells you that you\u2019re not in a serious relationship. He doesn\u2019t have to show up to change your flat tire, nor is he obligated to be your plus one at important events.<\/p>\n Has it ever occurred to you that you\u2019re dealing with problemas de relacionamento<\/a> with someone you\u2019re not in a relationship with?<\/p>\n Alguns homens t\u00eam medo de que entrar numa rela\u00e7\u00e3o de compromisso signifique perder toda a sua liberdade. Estes homens s\u00e3o chamados de \"f\u00f3bicos de compromisso\" e s\u00f3 andam de uma rela\u00e7\u00e3o de situa\u00e7\u00e3o para outra.<\/p>\n They prefer casual dating over the real deal because they don\u2019t feel any responsibility until they actually defina o seu romance<\/a>.<\/p>\n O mais engra\u00e7ado \u00e9 quando um fobia de compromissos<\/a> age como o seu namorado. Est\u00e1 sempre a mandar-te mensagens, gosta de passar tempo contigo e at\u00e9 tem ci\u00fames dos outros rapazes da tua vida. Basicamente, voc\u00eas os dois t\u00eam uma rela\u00e7\u00e3o, mas nunca lhe deram um t\u00edtulo verdadeiro.<\/strong><\/p>\n No entanto, quando lhe pedimos para tornar as coisas oficiais, ele foge para as colinas.<\/strong> It\u2019s like he assumes that you\u2019ll tie him up and take away all of his freedom the moment he agrees to be your actual boyfriend.<\/p>\n Por que \u00e9 que os homens gostam de relacionamentos de situa\u00e7\u00e3o? Bem, para muitos gajos, quase rela\u00e7\u00f5es<\/a> are actually just an excuse to \u201clegally\u201d cheat. Let\u2019s face it \u2013 you can be jealous all you want, but you don’t have the right to express your jealousy because you\u2019re not this man\u2019s official girlfriend.<\/p>\n He might be having casual sex and one-night stands with random girls, and that\u2019s technically not considered cheating. He is allowed to be on Tinder and other online dating apps, and you don\u2019t have a say in it.<\/strong><\/p>\n You\u2019re not allowed to check his phone, ask him about his whereabouts, or nag him about girls he follows on Instagram, Snapchat, and other social media platforms. You two are amigos com benef\u00edcios<\/a>e tem o direito de agir dessa forma.<\/strong><\/p>\n At least, that\u2019s what he says when you confront him about all the other women in his life. Not only that: he reminds you that you agreed to these terms and that you\u2019re free to do whatever you want as well.<\/p>\n And when you come to think about it \u2013 he\u2019s not wrong. I mean, you did choose this kind of love life for yourself.<\/p>\n Os homens gostam de relacionamentos situacionais porque, desta forma, podem manter as suas op\u00e7\u00f5es em aberto<\/a>. Ser\u00e1 que v\u00e3o acabar por namorar consigo? Ou aparecer\u00e1 uma outra mulher mais conveniente \u00e0 \u00faltima hora? Quem sabe?<\/p>\n In this scenario, a guy is keeping you as his backup plan. I know that this sounds harsh, but he\u2019ll give you the title of his girlfriend if nobody better shows up by the time he gets tired of his bachelor life.<\/strong><\/p>\n E entretanto? Bem, ele \u00e9 livre de fazer o que quiser sem se preocupar com o seu bem-estar.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s another reason men choose situationships: they\u2019re emocionalmente indispon\u00edvel<\/a>. You meet a guy who is simply not ready for a relationship because he is still not over his ex, or he doesn\u2019t feel capable of opening up to someone new.<\/p>\n It\u2019s a good thing if he\u2019s honest from the start. You should appreciate him telling you the truth and asking you not to expect much.<\/strong><\/p>\n However, it doesn\u2019t mean that you should stick with this man, especially if it\u2019s likely that you\u2019ll build an emotional connection with him.<\/p>\n In fact, most guys who claim to be emotionally unavailable are actually walking red flags. Deep down, they want you to fight for them and give them your everything. At the same time, you\u2019re expected to understand that they can\u2019t give you their love back.<\/p>\n Muitos dos meus amigos homens dizem que as rela\u00e7\u00f5es de facto s\u00e3o muito mais divertidas do que as rela\u00e7\u00f5es reais. A s\u00e9rio, you\u2019re only getting the good parts of the romantic relationship. You get the butterflies, you have the chase, and you have regular sex.<\/strong><\/p>\n But there is no fighting over everyday things, like who will take out the trash or who liked another person\u2019s photo on social media. There is no jealousy, no neediness, and no responsibility.<\/p>\n When you\u2019re in a situationship, you\u2019re not required to see your partner on a regular basis. You don\u2019t have to stay and listen to them nag, and you don\u2019t have to put up with their annoying friends and family.<\/p>\n You don\u2019t have to hold their hand during hard times, and you don\u2019t have to be at their disposal when they need you. Also, when you want to break up, you don\u2019t have to think of how you\u2019ll do it. You just disappear from each other\u2019s lives, and that\u2019s about it.<\/p>\n There is no such thing as falling into a rut. The moment the excitement is gone, you\u2019re gone as well.<\/strong><\/p>\n Let\u2019s get one thing clear: if a man knows that you care for him, but he keeps a enganar-vos<\/a> com esta situa\u00e7\u00e3o, he doesn\u2019t care<\/a> sobre os seus sentimentos. The harsh truth is that he doesn\u2019t love you enough to make you his girlfriend.<\/strong><\/p>\n Ele deve estar a dizer-lhe que \u00e9 n\u00e3o est\u00e1 preparado para uma rela\u00e7\u00e3o<\/a> right now. Well, guess what? He\u2019s n\u00e3o est\u00e1 preparado para uma rela\u00e7\u00e3o consigo.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Does he care that he\u2019s hurting you? Absolutely not! Does he feel guilty for ruining your mental health? No! Does he give a damn about putting you through this heartbreak? Also no.<\/p>\n Well, if he loved you, he wouldn\u2019t be immune to your pain. He\u2019d do everything in his power to make you happy. Instead, he\u2019s only making you miserable!<\/p>\n This is something not many men will admit, but the truth is that situationships boost their self-esteem. Of course, I\u2019m talking about the ones they initiate.<\/p>\n If your almost-boyfriend sees that you\u2019re ready to stay with him, even though he refuses to give you what you want and deserve, he sees himself as Apollo. He thinks of himself as irresistible.<\/strong><\/p>\n You\u2019re there, begging him to give you migalhas da sua aten\u00e7\u00e3o<\/a>. You\u2019re there, loving him despite his behavior and despite the fact that he doesn\u2019t love you back.<\/p>\n Everything happens according to his terms. He can see other girls, while you only have eyes for him. Basically, he can do whatever he wants, and you\u2019ll stick by his side, no matter what.<\/p>\n Isso faz dele um ser humano horr\u00edvel e t\u00f3xico? Absolutamente, sim, mas um ser humano confiante, horr\u00edvel e t\u00f3xico.<\/p>\n Porque \u00e9 que os homens gostam de relacionamentos? Bem, uma das raz\u00f5es \u00e9 o facto de quase todas as rela\u00e7\u00f5es os libertarem dos deveres de namorado.<\/p>\n Your almost-boyfriend doesn\u2019t have to put any effort into keeping you by his side. All he has to do is text you, and you\u2019ll appear on his doorstep in a matter of minutes.<\/strong><\/p>\n He doesn\u2019t have to buy you flowers on a regular basis, nor is he expected to throw you romantic surprises. He doesn\u2019t have the \u201cresponsibility\u201d of sending you a good morning and a good night text every day.<\/strong><\/p>\n He doesn\u2019t have to make time in his tight schedule to see you. He can go on a trip with his friends without even notifying you, let alone consulting you.<\/p>\n The list is pretty much endless, but I guess you see where I\u2019m going. This man invests no energy in your situationship.<\/p>\n A situationship doesn\u2019t always have to be toxic. In fact, it is only toxic when it\u2019s not a mutual agreement. What does this mean?<\/p>\n Well, if you\u2019re in a situationship with a man just because he wants it, then it\u2019s toxic and unhealthy. At the same time, you would give anything for you two to be in a rela\u00e7\u00e3o efectiva<\/a>, but you\u2019re settling for less this way.<\/p>\n You know that if you give him an ultimatum to make you his girlfriend or leave, you will lose him forever. So you assume that it\u2019s better to have him this way than not have him at all.<\/p>\n Claro que, secretamente, espera que voc\u00eas os dois se tornem um casal a s\u00e9rio em breve. E o que \u00e9 que ele tem? Em vez de ser justo e deixar-te ir, mant\u00e9m-te como o seu plano de reserva<\/a> para o caso de n\u00e3o aparecer nada melhor.<\/p>\n Se isto \u00e9 algo com que se identifica, n\u00e3o h\u00e1 d\u00favida de que a sua rela\u00e7\u00e3o \u00e9 t\u00f3xica.<\/p>\n Sim, situationships can be healthy \u2013 if all people involved agree on having things this way.<\/strong> Sometimes, both you and the guy you\u2019re seeing enjoy spending time together without defining your relationship status. But this is what you really both want \u2013 you didn\u2019t agree to it to protect your egos and not look desperate.<\/p>\n Se todas as cartas estiverem na mesa desde o in\u00edcio, a vossa rela\u00e7\u00e3o pode ser saud\u00e1vel. Claro que, se um de v\u00f3s mudar de ideias de repente, t\u00eam de ser honestos. Comuniquem as vossas necessidades e desejos e n\u00e3o haver\u00e1 problemas pelo caminho!<\/p>\n I\u2019ll be honest with you: mais as situa\u00e7\u00f5es nunca se transformam em rela\u00e7\u00f5es duradouras.<\/a><\/strong> In fact, the most likely scenario is that you will fall in love with your almost-boyfriend, while he won\u2019t form an emotional connection. Just like that, you are left heartbroken.<\/p>\n No entanto, this doesn\u2019t mean that it\u2019s impossible for an almost-relationship to turn into a healthy relationship. In fact, some one-night stands end up in long-term marriages. Basically, it all depends on the couple.<\/strong><\/p>\nPorque \u00e9 que os homens gostam de situa\u00e7\u00f5es?<\/h2>\n
