When the term was coined, it referred to the state people (usually straight guys) reach where, having failed to let a person (usually a straight girl) know they were interested in a relationship, they were seen as 'friends' but not potential partners. It usually implies the guy was not brave enough to actually hit on the girl, making her think that he just genuinely enjoyed being her friend. Example from the 90's. Whether the girl would have been attracted to him anyways didn't matter, it was just that he was never seen as a potential boyfriend.

However, the blame eventually shifted to the girl, who should have 'known' that the guy who never hit on her and acted like he had nothing but platonic interests was attracted to her. This is a pretty good analysis from Something Positive.

I upvoted your comment, and I agree with you %100, but this has never worked for me.

I've only been 'friendzoned' by two girls in my entire lifetime ( i'm 37 ), I made their acquaintance by hearing through the grapevine by several mutual friends that they were interested in me romantically...upon getting to know each other after a while they both informed me they wanted to be 'just friends'....that was ok with me and I moved on...except.....

both of them, pretty much wanted to see me every day and not only that but wanted to do things that , really, only qualified as a date activity and not only that, but appeared like we were dating to our mutual friends.

they also were clearly very jealous of other females I was acquainted with and one of them seemingly was actively trying to sabotage my relationship at the time ( she kept showing up to my house late at night, expecting me to go out on a drive, or out for a late meal, etc )

One of them recently called me out on facebook saying that I had 'decided that just being friends with her wasn't good enough' and implied I was some kind of player...and this was almost 15 years later....apparently she is THAT hurt that I didn't seemingly continue our 'friendship'.

[–]rglitched 177 points178 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

This is the difference between women clearly abusing you for attention and a cowardly male pining after women he is unwilling to make a move on.

Friend-zoning is a pretty legitimate complaint if someone is clearly stringing you along. That's just not what's happening to most of the people who bitch about it.

this, 100X this, I've been legitimately friendzoned before, and people who bitch about it piss me off, being friendzoned does not mean she just wants to be friends, it means she wants to use that friendship and your feelings for her to fuck with your head and get you to do shit for her.

[–]alexander1701 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Sure we can. I'm friends with a lot of girls. Just not girls I have a romantic interest in. Being friends with someone you'd prefer to date is just reminding yourself of rejection every time you see them.

[–]not_a_wolf 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

This is a little tricky though because if you're good friends with a girl asking her out doesn't necessarily imply anything romantic.

Your only real option is to tell her how you feel which, almost all the time, is a bad idea. Even if a girl is into you a forced and random "how I feel about you" moment is enough to scare anyone away (not to mention it makes everything after that very awkward even if she does say yes).

You really just have to flirt and build up sexual and romantic tension. Then setup gradually more and more provocative situations where the right moment can occur to make your move.

It's a lengthy process.

tl;dr I have exploded the friend-zone many times.

By the way, while the friend-zone usually means something different on Reddit, it's actually a very different thing to me. To me growing up it was never someone friend-zoning someone else. The friend-zone referred to two people who gradually became friends and then ended up having a crush on each other but, since they were both friends, it made it difficult for either one to make a move (especially since you risk the friendship).

Actually, I, as a girl was actually friendzoned by a guy friend of mine.

He told me he wasn't interested in a relationship and that he much more interested in just maintaining our friendship rather than ruining it by a relationship, so I tried to move on. I honestly did. But after awhile I couldn't help it, so I asked him out again.

He said no again, and it was even more of a let down than the first time, because it was me asking him to our Junior prom, and I had never built up more courage in my life than to put together what I had done to ask him. And I just got rejected anyways.

A summer came and went and the next year everyone in the whole damn school knew that I liked him. He knew that I liked him, but I tried to move on. I had my first kiss with another boy, I messed around with a couple other girls that I probably should have, and life moved on.

A winter break came and went. He had gone to India to visit some relatives over break, and we were very close friends by this time, so he made sure to send me one letter per day whilst he was away to tell me about what was going on. I actually felt rather upset with him for wanting to send me the letters (over facebook), because I felt that it wasn't fare that he was leading me on when he knew that I liked him like that. Over that same winter break I also kept in touch with a boy who was visiting his family in Korea. The Korean boy asked me out over facebook, and for the first time in my life, I said yes to a boy simply because I felt desperate.

At the end of the break, I felt the need to tell my crush/best friend that I decided to try dating another boy. He got angry, really quickly. He stood up and said, "You know that I like you right!?" I was shocked. I felt like I was stuck in a situation that I couldn't break out of. Later that day I was waiting in the boys' dorm (I go to a boarding school) waiting for a friend to go to TaiKwonDo practice. My best friend came up to me and said we needed to talk. All he said was, "you're a Jerk." I replied with, "but I waited so long for you. A year and a half." He replied with, "If you had waited 10 more seconds before telling me about J, then I would have kissed you." I was nearly in tears whenever J came down and offered to walk me to the girls dorm before going to TKD. I said yes.

I walked over to the girls dorm and when I came back down, my best friend was covered with rain that had apparently started to fall outside and he was panting. He had run all the way from the boys dorm. "I'm sorry!" He said, "I just want want you to be happy." And he ran back away.

I didn't know whether or not to dump the guy i just started to date or not. I didn't want to feel like I was using him to get to my best friend or what. I nearly broke down and didn't go to TKD. Instead, I went to TKD where both J*** and my best friend are there with me. Afterwards, J*** asks to go for a walk with me (it had stopped raining). It didn't take long for him to find a secluded place and try to get into my pants. It was then that I decided that this douche bag wasn't worth it at all. I broke up with him over facebook the next day, and tried to convince my best friend to start talking with me again.

I met up with him while he was trying to do work on a scholarship in the computer lab in the boys' dorm. At first he was acting really flirty, but I was very tired so I laid my head down on the table and closed my eyes. He started to brush his fingers through my hair, and every few minutes I would guiltily scoot closer to him. After about an hour an a half of him getting almost no work done, my head was on his shoulder. I looked up, and his face was RIGHT THERE.

I'll spare you of the details about our first kiss, which was actually his first kiss ever. We've been together ever since.

And that is how I, a girl who had gotten friendzoned by a guy, broke out of the friendzone through sheer hard work, patience, and determination.

If you get friendzoned, by all means, don't become a stalker, but if you really love that person, Don't give up.

Sorry for the long post. I registered for reddit just to make it. o.o

Let's explore the options, shall we?

If I try to be her friend while secretly wanting to bang/date/whatever her, that'll work, right?

Hm... no, that's typically referred to as evil friendzone creeper shit or whatever because I deceived her.

If I just be forthright and upfront with my intentions it'll work, right?

Hm... no, that just means I'm putting her in a tight spot by being honest and forcing her to actually reject or accept me.

If I explain my intentions but don't ask for a response for some time it'll work, right?

Hm... no, that doesn't work either because then I'm overthinking what should be a purely emotional thing.

Fuck it. This whole game's rigged, but I'm expected to all the work anyway.


Let's be clear here. Women want to be able to reject a guy they see as a friend in a way that doesn't affect the relationship at all but somehow takes romance off the table. Men want to be able to take a risk with their emotions but not be crushed if it doesn't pan out. Frankly, both are unreasonable desires, but I think it's interesting that the former is considered the "right" thing to do while the latter is considered cowardly.

That's entirely up to the man. You don't have to be devastated if your emotional goals aren't achieved. You were a complete person before you put yourself on the line, why not recognize that you are no less complete having failed?

Both are unfair. A girl can't force a guy to be her friend. A guy can't force a girl to be his girlfriend. If you want one and they want the other, you're both screwed and have to look elsewhere. End of story.

[–]centurijon 20 points21 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

You're reading it wrong. Assume that this case has happened:

...ask her out. If she says no

Now there is a conditional statement:

[if] that bothers you

Which leads to the conclusion of:

you never have to talk to her again

The unspoken other side of that conditional is that being date-rejected does not bother you so you can talk to her as much as you like... or as much as she likes... or both

[–]thefloyd 1 point2 points ago

Well it can be really awkward. I once took this girl out on what I found out later was a pity date, and after a week of trying to get her to hang out again, she told me she was never really interested in me romantically.

I was hurt, but okay with it, and I told her as much, but she actually made it really awkward after that. I'm not going to lie, I did avoid her for a while, but then when I did see her (we went to the same college) she would act really weird, like almost how homophobic dudes act around gay people, like she thought I would make a move on her any second. That's the only way to describe it. Then she went around telling people I hated her, which is ridiculous, and blocked me from her Facebook, which I didn't even notice for like two weeks. After that, I just cut her out completely, which in hindsight, played right into her story that I was bitter and spiteful, but I don't have time for that kind of BS.

Personally, I have never had a problem interacting with women. Hookups, dating, one-night-stands all come and go pretty naturally. I have been friend zoned, and it was an eye opening experience. I was always friends with this wonderful girl who connected with me on every single level. We were both dating other people when the foundation of our friendship was constructed, and became very comfortable with each other. The day finally came when we were both single, and we started hanging out more often than usual. The collective sexual tension combined with our desires to not be alone made for one interesting night. At the end of the night she told me should would never think of me as a boyfriend, yet would still want to just be my friend. I was heartbroken, we were so amazingly compatible yet she still just didn't feel that way. Rejection is something I hardly had to face before, and I was crushed.

[–]herebezombies 1 point2 points ago

Nope. Once I get friendzoned, they get to hear about my diarrhea, flatulence and boners just like my guy friends. I figure if they want to be friends, they have to take the good with the bad.

Because they are insecure?

Maybe this is just because I have been married for 7 years, but my husband has always had a lot of lady friends. I found it made him a much better boyfriend because he knew how to deal with women. There was only one who I had a problem with and that was because after he told her about our engagement she confessed her love for him. Bad form. You missed your chance. Even her I didn't tell him he couldn't see. I just expressed that I would rather we hang out with her together if he still wanted to remain friends.

I think jealousy means you are insecure in your own relationship. My husband and I both have friendships outside of the marriage with people of the same and opposite sex, always have, and we are both more than ok with that. I think the girls you've been dating need to grow up.

This. No. Never. I am not one of those angsty friend-zone guys, but I do happen to have a lot of women who are friends. Without fail, they are constantly a problem for whoever I may happen to be dating in addition to being a the perfectly coordinated cock-blocking brigade when I am single.

One or two were initially attracted to me specifically because of my easygoing nature around women, but that opens up the potential for tearing a group of friends apart and ruining already good friendships.

Well at least back off from them. The 'friendzone' (I refuse to speak of it as a real concept) suggests being a boyfriend-without-the-sex, doing things for the girl and listening to her problems and giving advice to them, being very close friends - this is what 'friendzonees' usually complain about. They should just back off. Tell the girl they're sorry, but they don't think they can be so close with them since they feel this way.

Yeah, that's where the passive-aggressive neckbeards who consider themselves "nice guys" add credence to the FB post and similar thread in TwoX where the example was a tweet.

I agree. I should have said "getting led on by" to have a more complete analogy and properly frame the complainant's perspective, but at this point I'm afraid to edit the post.

And I'd say they're kinder. Niceness is just not being mean, and nice guys can stop being nice pretty fast. I've been one, sadly.

[–]BolshevikMuppet 6 points7 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

If the guy was forthright about it, sure.

The distinction I see is that a woman who "friendzoned" a guy never even hinted that she was interested in anything other than a friendship. The equivalent would be a guy being upfront that he's just out for sex. More often the guy does leave open this nebulous "I don't want a real relationship right now" limbo where they're hoping to get sex from a woman who probably would dump him if he was clear about his intentions.

If a woman hints that a guy might get sex if he's nice to her, that's crappy if she never has any intent of following through. But most "friendzone" complaints are a lot more "OMG, I'm so nice to her and she says she wishes she could find someone like me, god what a bitch for not having sex with me."

those who subscribe to the friendzone mentality tend to enjoy blaming everyone but themselves for their failed attempts at romance.

I absolutely agree. The mentality behind complaining about being friendzoned comes from expecting a girl to "pay up" with sex if you're good enough to her.

Sometimes, sexual attraction isn't mutual. It just isn't. It's not that she isn't seeing what a perfect guy you are...it's that she seriously just doesn't want to fuck you. Sorry. Try being nice without an ulterior motive next time and maybe you won't suffer such a crushing letdown.

Friendzone is generally bullshit. I am a guy who used to complain about being friendzoned. I realized that the friendzone does not exist and it was just me being a complete pussy. I am still just as nice as I was before, however, if I am interested I simply go for it. Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose. If I lose, I move on. It's that simple.

Just so we're clear: The mere phrase 'friend zone' does NOT imply anything about the girl except that she's not interested in fucking the person in the 'friend-zone.' People complaining about being friend-zoned can be legitimately disappointed about the situation in which they find themselves without thinking the girl has done anything wrong. I feel like some people on reddit are assuming that the phrase "friend zone" automatically implies some sort of twisted sense of entitlement. It doesn't. It just means someone wants to be more than friends, while their friend doesn't. That's it. Nothing more.

Even when someone complains that they've done lots of nice things and are still "stuck in the friend-zone," they're not saying that because they were nice they are 'owed' sex. They are simply lamenting the fact that their efforts to woo a girl were unsuccessful. And it's okay to be sad about that. Unrequited feelings can be tough. It doesn't imply twisted entitlement. Believe it or not, people can hope for things to which they are not entitled, and even feel sad when they don't get them. Humans are silly that way.

[–]beliefsarerelative 5 points6 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I wish that were true. In my experience the people who feel the way you've described (which is totally legitimate, and a legitimate thing to complain/be sad about) often don't use the word friendzone.

Unfortunately, though, we can't ignore the existence of people who use the word "friendzone" to blame the woman. Either she's a terrible bitch for not returning that person's feelings, or more commonly, somehow it's terribly bitchy of her to treat the guy as a friend when they're "just friends". You also hear "stringing along" associated with "friendzone".

If somebody complains to me, "aw, I got friendzoned by X," I'll say "sorry man, let me buy you a beer." But people who complain about how girls always friendzone and how they're all heartless bitches get no sympathy from me.

[–]warratah 10 points11 points ago

Time for my 2 cents!

Friend-zoning is the most sexist thing I have heard. It makes me so angry, because no girl "wants to go out with an asshole" ever. When you ask girls what they want in a guy they will Never say "I only date assholes" those are the guys we stay away from. We date the sort of guys (we believe) we can depend on, sometimes we can't & it backfires, sometimes the guy we think is nice & sweet & dependable is actually just after sex. Here is a secret for all you 'friend-zoned' guys. The 'assholes' we go out with, are either actually really nice guys, or they at least pretend to be in front of us. You may be just as nice or nicer, but the difference is simple. Either, they had the fucking balls to ask us out, or they are just better looking then you. That is just how it is. But always remember, a personality can completely swap a persons appearance. So therefore if you are super pretty & an asshole, then no, you won't get alot of good girls, you will only get scumbag stacy's.

Oh & one last thing. When was the last time your friend-zoned guys asked out the chubby chick with freckles? She is probably a really nice girl. But you only what the hot chick (or more correctly) who friend zoned you coz she is not into fat guys with freckles, but prefers her guys tanned & tall, & playing ice hockey.

TL;DR it's not that you aren't an asshole, it's because you are one.

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

(I'm a guy) I think this is true. When I was in high-school and even into early college, I was constantly in the friend zone. Not so, later on, though.

The trick is to learn some confidence. A man needs to learn to be a man. This does not involve womanizing, nor does it involve worshiping the ground she walks on (both extremes). There are just certain features about a man that women are pre-programmed to (generally) like. Luckily, men are (generally) pre-programmed with those features to varying degrees.

Basically, I look at other "friend-zoned" guys now, and I look back at my younger self and see a bunch of boys. Immature, meek, mild, unwilling to take a risk, desperate, trying too hard. Women like to see men. Someone with more capability than whatever they've gained by accumulating mold sitting on the internet in their mama's basement. Men were made to conquer, to fix, to protect. We were made to be bold, to make decisions, take risks.

It's largely because the "friend-zoned" boys lack these things that they land themselves in the friend zone. When the girl you pursue already has total control over you because you're desperate, you're done. Show some independence and prowess. Not just to impress her, but because it's a man's birthright.

[–]LooneyXXL 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Hopefully this isn't buried at the bottom, but most posters on the topic of friend-zoning always assume the wrong definition of the friend zone. The friend zone is when a girl knows a guy is interested in her, and she keeps leading him on with flirting and sexual hints but has no actual intention of hooking up with the guy. For some reason people think it's when a girl has made it clear she isn't interested a guy but he sticks around anyways thinking if he is nice enough to her eventually she'll give in and hook up with him, that's just what weird desperate guys do and it is not the friend zone.

I don't mean to argue with you, but if that were the case, we wouldn't even have the term "friend-zone." No amount of kindness coins will turn a woman's affections if she is not otherwise interested in sexual relations with a potential suitor.

I think, perhaps, you are assuming that the tweeter is referring to guys with which she shares a mutual sexual / romantic attraction. In that case, yes, some women will produce sex when given enough kindness coins. Other women's sex machines only accept mistreatment coins.

Try to an imagine a guy who is really repulsive to you, but is super nice to you all the time. Will you eventually cave and do the sex with him, just because of how nice he's been? I don't think anyone of any gender would operate on a system like that for determining who they sleep with.

Good news! You actually aren't legally required to give women money in exchanged for kindness. It's a pretty sweet system actually. You can have a female friend, and if they ask you to pay for something and you don't want to, you can say "no".

What we have here is the common misconception that you have absolutely no choice in where you spend your money as long as a woman is around. But in fact men too are capable of free thought! Who knew?

[–]frogswithwings 6 points7 points ago

Men pay for things for their significant other when they are in a relationship. If you are friendzoned you aren't in a relationship with the girl. Also You don't see posts on here everyday about how a man didn't shower a woman with money after the woman was nice or had sex with him. They may be saddened that you didn't continue to have relations with her after a sexual encounter but that's not at all the same.

If you want to get nitpicky about something that is obviously a joke, fine lets do that.

The friend-zone is not "im nice to you why aren't we fucking" (if it is you need to reivaluate your maturity.)

I'll give you a personal example. I took a girl I knew on several dates, one day I told her how I fealt and wondered if she wanted to be in a relationship. She gave me the "no we're just friends".

For some reason though she keeps bothering me with her problems.

The friend zone is catching all the shit for being a boyfriend, but absolutely none of the benifits.

I've since told her I don't care. I don't pretend like I have a chance, which a lot of people here do. I say 'fuck it' and move on.

The friend-zone is not "im nice to you why aren't we fucking"

Then,

The friend zone is catching all the shit for being a boyfriend, but absolutely none of the benifits

In other words, "i'm nice to you why aren't we fucking"

There are more benefits to being in a relationship than fucking, and not all guys, especially most of the ones that are friendzoned, look for solely that in a relationship. Fuckin stereotypes, man.

I was under the impression that being in a relation was more than sex.

For some reason though she keeps bothering me with her problems.

I've since told her I don't care.

Sounds like a really A+ friendship you got there. Solid.

Honestly, if a guy wasn't willing to be just friends, then I would never consider him for a relationship. If a guy ditches me the second sex stops being a prospect on the table, good riddance.

You think women don't notice this self centered, entitled attitude from a mile away? I guarantee you this 'im only tolerating your shit so i can get laid' attitude is precisely why she had no interest in a relationship with you.
