Is the friend zone really a thing?

[GennGreymane]

I have some friends complaining about it. I told them to move on, but they keep saying they keep getting friend zoned. Is it a real thing?

It's a real thing, but it's not like women are doing anything wrong. Honest to god he could just not be their type, but still a cool guy they want to be friends with.

Then again types are stupid, you'll never be truly happy if you don't go outside your arbitrary bounds even a little bit. Someone who only dates blue eyed blonds could miss the love of his life because she's a brunette etc.

It isn't. It's an excuse for not being able to get pussy. Instead of admitting you fail to get pussy because you suck ass, and do something about it, you misdirect that to the pussy owners, and blame them for your failure.

Girls aren't attracted to you enough to sleep with you, but they don't hate you.

I say it only exists in the mind of the one who claims to be in it.

No one puts one into the friend zone, one puts themself in the friend zone.

As you said, the best thing to do is to just move on and stop pining for a woman who does not share your feelings.

I half expected this to be a Jaylock thread, I'm pleasantly surprised.

OT: No idea if it's a "real" thing or just a "mental" thing, but either way I personally don't care, just move on and deal with it.

Oh boy, another one of these.

The Friendzone stops existing the moment you stop viewing women as different from men.

[Cuppy]

I think it sure could be! Some people are very, VERY bad at showing their true emotions.
And sure there might be ladies out there who take staring@boobs for a somekind of mark of affection, but some people are just good mannered x)

If tou decode the "Alpha Speak" he isn't exactly wrong. Lol

To a degree I agree. There are times though where no matter how good you are, how attractive etc. maybe you're not attractive to her. It happens but it's no biggy. People blow these problems out of proportion.

[Revi]

Sure. If one person wants a relationship/sex and the other just wants to be friends, that's the friend-zone.

It's probably a result of their incompetent courting skills. But I don't rule out their targets being complicit and knowingly exploiting their misery.

Maybe, but there's no guy in the world who can score any girl they walk up to, but that wouldn't make me say that they're incompetent or they suck lol

Are you suggesting the theory of friendzone only applies to men who seek women?

[zaino]

its real in the sense that it does exist in the minds of some people


most girls arnt diabolically plotting which guys belong in the friend zone and which dont

this whole red pill bullshit is nonsense, sure they have the most important design philosophy which is "confidence is king" but they bring it very deep into the overconfident stage which is as much of a turn off for women as being a creep is

It's a bit weird when people think that. I've definitely friend zoned some women, they're cool as hell but not people I'd pursue a relationship with.

I agree with that.

[Deleted]

No it isn't.

People use it as some sort of excuse just because other people - generally women - doesn't want to instantly jump in bed with them.

Sensible people actually understand that men and women sometimes just want to be friends. It's not more complicated than that.

I wasn't trying to sleep with men.
