I think this is a good place to air this:

I don't like it when people say "this girl rejected me and said we should still be friends; I'm in the friendzone." No, you're not. You've been rejected. She doesn't want you.

The friendzone is when a man or woman becomes the friend of an man or woman that they are romantically attracted to, and they cannot make the relationship romantic.

If she (or he) says she doesn't want to date you, congrats, you're out of the friendzone.

Welcome to the rejected zone.

At that point you say, "well, okay then." And you take your man-power and leave her in the 'missed your chance' zone.

Alright guys and girls, friendzoning is a spectrum. It isn't one single thing. It can be caused by any combination of personal flaws or flaws in the other person. To hear people speak definitively that friendzoning is because you're a beta male or a shitty guy that thinks women owe them sex or because a girl is manipulative annoys me. It's like saying 'cancer is cancer, it's all the same!'

Nope.

Not how it works.

There are plenty of cases where a guy has been told clearly and repeatedly by a girl that she isn't interested. He is stupid to pursue for anything more than a short time frame. There are also plenty of cases where girls lead guys on for emotional support while they go after their real romantic interests. This isn't all the guy's fault. This isn't all the girl's fault. It happens, and it happens for a lot of different reasons.

Is there a way I can auto-downvote any post that contians the word "friendzone"?

Upvoted for the great gif, not for the friendzone title.

It's not a friend-zone. It is a person who does not verbalize what they are looking for and has assumed unrealistic expectations from a person.

It is solely up to you if you decide to stick around if you feel the friendship is worth it or not, no one is forcing you to stay.

Plus you are male, therefore you start things as friendship, then wish to upgrade to a relationship because you start falling or whatever reason, and probably never made your intentions clear to begin with.

News shock, that is not how females work. Women view friendship and romance as two very separate things. She's already decided from first impression if you are romance material or not, and if you are not but not a total douche you get dropped into the friend bucket. So you were "friend-zoned" long before your delayed reaction to grow some balls and put the moves on her anyways

You falsely assumed the girl knew that you were trying to upgrade from a friendship to a romantic relationship, so when rejected, you felt that the girl was abusing the pre-romantic part of the relationship.

Girls are guilty too. They assume that a guy only wants a friendship then get butthurt when they find out it was more, then reject said guy then they feel betrayed and think the entire friendship was an attempt to get in their pants thus damaging the friendship.

This is why friend zoned males think the female is a manipulative bitch, and friend zoned females think that guys are only nice to her to get sex and care about nothing else.

Being butthurt by rejection also makes you come off as not suitable for a romantic relationship anyways because who wants to date that?

You make your intentions clear from the start, you continue to pursue those intentions, if it doesn't work out you settle for the friendship or move on, no one is keeping you there, problem solved.

Was friendzoned once, loved it. Every time I took her out it drove all the girls crazy that I was there with another hot babe. They fell all over me. What are you guys whining about?

Siderealcat · 4 months

I see a lot of this on reddit. People saying "friendzone" as if it is a bad thing. What's so wrong with being friends with someone without having sex?

StanimaJack · 4 months

I never comment on the 'friend-zoned' posts, but I think I'll make an exception this once. As "cruel" as it sounds guys, if you become friends with a girl in hopes to date and she declines and 'friend-zones' you...move on. Drop it. SHUT IT DOWN.

Why you ask? That is selfish and cruel? Fine, go on and continue to act "cool" and unfazed with the trips to the mall and everyday text/talk. Until of course you flip out from the pangs of unrequited love and crash your emotional roller coaster fireball onto the poor girl and CRUSH the already fragile friendship into a fine powder.

It will be sad. It's going to hurt, but you'll still have your sanity. If you choose to balls up and explain this to her that you need your space then perhaps after your feelings for her pass, and they will, you can be friends again.

Downvotes or not, I stand by my statements.

TL;DR: Got friendzoned? Get moving, and don't forget the whiskey.

Fuck this friendzone shit. Go be passive-aggressive somewhere else you soggy excuse of a man.

tonyp2121 · 4 months

I never truly understand the "friend zone." I'm in it as of now but I dont understand why we need a word for a women rejecting you. if you dont want to pursue an actual friendship thats fine, but dont hold onto this hope that somehow, some way, she is going to figure out your the guy for her. Either remain good friends or move on.

niccimomo · 4 months

the friend zone isn't as complicated as men think. and a lot of the time, the guy isn't paying attention to what the girl wants because he is so caught up in trying to get with her. idk. this girl right here gives a very valid point on it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hlGqaHm7D4

Yeah, usually there is a black guy with glasses and suit blocking me too. :.(

Fortunately for many of us we realize that the "friend zone" is an imaginary thing/place where "nice guys" like to pretend they go. Women aren't objects or possessions. They don't need to be "figured out" or "cracked."

Women are not machines that you insert kindness coins into for sex. This "friendzone" trend has officially become the new sandwich joke. Get some new material, fellas.

Downvote anything friendzone.

thewoops · 4 months

Believe it or not i've gotten out of this so called "friend zone" took about 8 months. First thing to know it's entirely your fault for being in this 'zone'. A lot more work than it should've been because of my mistakes.

The friend zone is a made up barrier that guys use as an excuse for not being brave enough to ask women out. Truth Siren AWHOOOOOOOO.

I have been hearing a lot of chatter about the friendzone on reddit lately. May I kindly remind you that /r/friendzone exists.

In the frames that are deleted, the man fist bumps the body guard, winks at the woman, and as he gets his coat to leave, calls another woman to meet up for coffee.

Girls are not sex machines that work if you put enough kindness tokens in.

I don't understand how people "struggle" with the friendzone. If you like a girl and you want to date her, ask her out. If she says no, go ask someone else out. I see so many guys who are so afraid of rejection that they try to get with a girl by gradually becoming closer and closer friends with her. You can't try to cut corners like this. A friend is a friend. A boyfriend is a boyfriend. Save yourself the anguish and make it clear to the girl which one you want to be.

Honestly I've gotten to the point where if there's even a hint I am being remotely friendzoned, I'm out immediately. Perfect example happened yesterday when my friend got asked by one of the girls he was chasing to go to a One Direction concert. IT'S A TRAP

burntham77 · 4 months

No problem. There are plenty of other mediocre-looking women out there that I am sure are a lot more fun. Go get 'em, tiger!
