Can women manage a no-strings adult relationship?

A friend and I were discussing the above topic. We are not sure that we as women can handle that. We worried that over time we would come to care for the man and then be heartbroken. Anyone feel different?

I think that is really difficult to do. I would not reccomend it. I have read where some women were able to maintain, but I have read about many more who have gotten hurt. Women are emotional creatures. It is not hard to get attached to someone, but in the end it is so hard to let go of someone. Even if you don't mean for it to happen. Personally, that type of relationship is just not in my personality.

I agree with you but does that mean a woman has to wait until she finds someone who she can have a lasting relationship before she gets involved? what about our baser needs in the meantime?

Well, i think it will depend on the person or the woman for that matter. If shes been through a lot and have had quite an experience with men- and she grew to be shallow of them like, she's so cynical of them- then i beleive that she will manage a no strings attached relationship. This is because she already knows that these men are for play only and she is fully aware that men cannot handle commitments, so therefore in order to protect herself- she plays with them too- and does not become serious in the relationship perse.
