Are Situationships healthy? Experts elucidate benefits

Western dating sucks ass.

LOS ANGELES — “You down with OPP?” The dating scene in America is so atrocious, Gen Z singles created a new term for relationships called “Situationship” — which means men and women distribute nooky based strictly on the situation. But, under no circumstances, will a relationship materialize. You’re basically f*ck buddies for a predetermined amount of time. A group of relationship experts conducted a study on Tinder. “In our research, we define a situationship as an ongoing sexual or romantic liaison that lasts six months or more that one or both parties don’t see as going anywhere,” Elizabeth Armstrong, the chair of the University of Michigan Department of Sociology, told Insider. Social media reaction was hilarious. One commenter wrote, “As the saying goes, ‘Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?”

Another chimed in with, “Situationships is just female simping for hot guys and blaming them for taking free candy, even though they take advantage of unattractive men in even worse ways.” A third person added, “A situationship is extended friends with benefits.”  Time Magazine released an article saying situationships are the future of dating and it’s not necessarily a bad thing.

Are you ok with being in a dalliance that’s going absolutely nowhere?

Should we lease copulation for 6-month periods?

If so, indentures have been drafted.

We just need to sign ’em.

  1. LOL..I..WAS IN A SITUATIONSHIP…HE’S 60YRS OLD..STILL LIVING IN THE PAST..HE WANTS HIS OLD MARRIED LIFE BACK..HIS BEEN DIVORCED FOR 13YRS…HE WANTED WIFEY BENEFITS …BUT DIDNT WANT TO PUT A RING ON MY FINGER..I MEAN REALLY..WE NOT GETTING YOUNGER..HE DUMPED ME ..WENT BACK TO HIS X GF..WHOM HE HAD A ON AND OFF RELATIONSHIP FR 5 YRS…IM AT PEACE NOW..NO MORE DRAMA OR BEING VERBALLY ABUSED..INSANITY IS DOIN THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AGAIN..XPECTING A DIFFERRENT RESULT..

  2. I’m currently seeing a man (39) I met online for 3 months now. We were sexually intimate on our second date. We live 2hrs away from each other and I’ve been the one driving to see him and he does cook for me and we spent time at his house and sometimes went out for coffee and grocery shopping while I’m visiting him. I’ve also met his best friend.
    He had only visited me one time at my place. Anyway, he said he wants a family and wants to be married but when I asked him about his intentions and our relationship status with me he told me he need more time to get to know me. I asked him how long does he need but his answer was vague. I’m afraid this is becoming a situationship even though I told him from the start I don’t do situationship. I want to give him until October then revisit the topic of our relationship status again.

  3. I got involved in a situationship and I feel like the most stupid person ever.

  4. I wasted 4 years in a situationship with a man I never saw as a potential boyfriend and grew way too attached to this man! I wrote a whole book about it called no f*** Boys allowed because I learned so much about myself. He was definitely a distraction from my own development. I was celibate for 5 years after cutting that off finally and I’m able to date better quality men now that I’ve healed. I do the healing between dating now. It’s necessary to do the work and self reflect!

  5. Just got out of a two month situationship. In June, I ran into a guy from my past. He was very clear with me that he was still in love with his ex. We hung out all summer, went golfing, baseball games, concerts, 5ks, listening to music, casino, out to eat, movies, etc. It was really fun. I thought I could keep him in an unavailable box, but my emotions got involved and I started having hurt feelings. I messaged him a week ago that I had to take myself out of the equation so that I could leave myself open to receiving what I know I deserve. I miss him, but I know I did the right thing.

  6. I just ended a 3 year situationship with a person whom i found out had a girlfriend.. I feel like such a fool. He kept leading me on and told me he wanted to know me more…unfortunately it even turned sexual too.. Its been very hard to overcome this… 😔

  7. At this point in my life, I’m completely fed up with the dating scene. They just want to hook up then discard you. Im just going to stay single.

  8. I’m detaching from a 8 month situationship. In the beginning it was going so well a little too well. I got to a point where I was irritable and I couldn’t stand being around him until I got answers of where the future was going. Turns out the entire time he was showing me the illusion of a relationship and absolutely did not want one with me. After that I turned cold and haven’t spoken to him since. It’s hard but I’m so proud of myself for staying away

  9. Tried it once, decided it was not for me. So, no, I don’t prefer situationships.

  10. “Situationships” are a drug…
    Feel good in the moment,
    and mess with you later (BIG TIME!).
    Avoid it!! Avoid! Avoid! Avoid!

  11. I would’nt entertain a situationship but instead a true friend in Jesus Christ! Thank you!

  12. I just ended one today. I am damn determined to never take him back, not like I ever had him in the first place. No more contact, EVER

  13. There’s a difference between a relationship and situationship. If a guy says that he don’t want you, BELIEVE HIM! It’s better than being with someone who doesn’t value you fully. 💯 let him do what he wanna do and his personal boy “trauma” .

  14. I was in a situationship for 3 years without knowing it. I saw the red flags but i ignored it hoping we be a relationship. I realized he only used me as a placeholder cause i found out hes been in a relationship with another woman recently and when i confronted him, he still lied and then ghosted me… It hurts so much. I feel so alone. 😔

  15. I am born in 1984, so I am a millennial. I grew up dating without the dating apps, but we had facebook. I did not know what Situationship is until now. But I think I had one in 2008 for 2-3 months and it was very stressful.

  16. I’m in a situation ship that’s making me feel like shit, it’s so taxing; but at the same time I love this girl and she’s literally my Peter Pan happy thought I need to fly. I don’t know what to do

  17. Situationship, definition: I’ll stick with you until I can find someone better for me.
