A non-committal relationship formed purely for convenience. Two people aren’t dating, they aren’t “just friends,” and they definitely aren’t soulmates. They simply fulfill each other’s emotional or physical needs when it’s practical. No deep feelings, no long-term plans, just seasonal or situational companionship.
It’s the relationship equivalent of a pop-up store: appears when you need it, disappears when you don’t.
Example:
“We’re not dating. We’re in a convenienceship. He shows up during holidays, my plus one to events, accompanies me to places when i am bored and wish I had a boyfriend.”
Usage:
“I don’t want a boyfriend, I want a convenienceship. Someone who’s there for winters, movies, and emotional emergencies, then goes home before the feelings develop.”
The type of relationship that, if convenient, is a friendship. However, a convenientship is broken if one party goes out of their way to converse or anything else that is friendship related.
Jesse and I totally have a convenientship, we never stay in touch but if he's around town we're friends.
If there are two 'friends' who have a friendship but only one of them puts effort into this friendship while the other one only puts in effort when its convenient for them. Therefore turning this friendship into a convienceship.
Cory is always trying to hang out with Niki, but Niki only wants to hang out when its convenient for her. I guess they are in a convienceship now.
The grindset is a contemporary ideology of self-exploitation disguised as strength, deeply tied to the aesthetics of the “sigma male” and to new digital forms of patriarchy. It promotes the idea that human worth depends on productivity, economic success, absolute emotional control, and the ability to work endlessly, turning vulnerability, rest, community, and tenderness into signs of weakness. Beneath its rhetoric of discipline and power often lies a profound inability to relate healthily to pain, fragility, and human interdependence.
“That’s the grindset, brother. While weak men sleep and complain, sigma males stay disciplined, work in silence, suppress emotions, and build power while everyone else wastes time chasing comfort.”
