People too weak-minded to commit to someone. A "get out of jail free card" for cheating. It's a relationship for people not looking for a serious relationship, really.
I would never be in one. I would want to be with someone who is dedicated to me. As in, actually cares about me. I don't think someone truly cares about someone else if they're okay with them off kissing, having sex, etc. with other people. Your partner having friends is something completely different.
Right, but what if the person just wants to be in an open-relationship because they are either inexperienced or because they enjoy meeting others? I'm not saying they're "sex buddies" either, what if both of those people happens to be similar to a "bff"?
