So you were reading the Fail in the first place....

I find it quiet refreshing after finishing my daily read of FT, WSJ, NYTimes, Washington Post, Bloomberg, The Times, The ToryGraph, The Guardian, The Independent (might cancel this one).

I thought this was about the spare tyre i gained from lockdown. More Cushion for the pushin!

Personally if I were dating and keeping other pots on the boil (friendzone or not) then I would feel dishonest.

No, I mean women don't like the idea of the chap having 'other options' but judging by an article in the Daily Cocksniffle, it's fine for women to do the same. I guess the trick is (as it always was) not to get caught...

I think it depends on the personalities involved. Both sexes do it as far as I've observed.

Usually those that do are the ones who are either scared of commitment (I don't mean lifelong monogamy, marriage, 2.4 children etc but rather as in the article the hedging of bets), or scared of being alone.

You mean you don't like a "good grip"??

Or monkeying as it used to be called when I were a yoof - as in, how a monkey keeps hold of a branch while swinging towards the next one and doesn't let go until they've got a good grip.
