Forums - General - Here's a little rant on the "Friend Zone".

The point when I realize I may have been friend zoned is the point where I go all in. Just bold ask her out. She says no it is over like it would have been anyways. She says yea epic win.



Around the Network

I've never been friendzoned but as far as I understand it, there exists a friend zone. It's when you have a chance but you screw it up, perhaps by being too much of a friend and too little of a man. It's not even necessarily because you aren't enough of a man, it might be just because you behave too little like a man. Many people find it difficult to approach women and in many cases, it changes men's behaviour in women's company. So there you go: friend zone - not necessarily reject zone. But yeah, I guess in most cases it is just stupid bitching about women not accepting everyone that's interested and nice.



Your entire opening post is what I thought everyone knew the friendzone is.

Well hey, it wasn't me ranting...but I agree someone was bitching about...but not all.



Many times, a lot of that friendzone stuff seems to occur because a lot of guys hope that, by being her 'emotional crutch', she'll eventually get her panties all wet and want to sleep with him, but it doesn't work like that, attraction isn't a rational thing.

Plus, the guy would just be an ass, pretending to be friends, a good listener, etc..only in the hopes of getting into her pants (not saying all guys that get 'friendzoned' act like that, but most likely a lot of them).

If you're interested, make your intentions clear...didn't work?..too bad, but remember the world's a big place.

Tell the facebook person who wrote it that he doesn't need friends or to be friendzoned. The Last of Us is coming soon enough and full concentration is required.

Most guys who whine because of friedzone are passive aggressive cowards who don't make their intentions with the girl clear in the beginning and later whine when they're ''rejected''.


Also, i can't wait for that inevitable NikKoM post where he's gonna generalize and degrade the VGC community while ''teaching'' us how to be a pimp

Normally i do not agree with you on much, but you nailed this post 100%

Here's another thing.
There is nothing wrong with the "friend zone"
There is nothing wrong with actually being friends with a girl you like so long as you respect that and still treat them like a friend. It's important to have friends, because you never know what could happen. Girl-friends have friends, which makes for really casual opportunities to meet other girls. Girls talk, and sometimes those friends start talking about you, and it can really create great impressions.
If you're "friend-zoned" and you are actually a friend, she will tell her friends how great you are. So, a girl-friend who isn't interested in you physically, may tell someone who is interested physically about how rounded your personality is as well.
It's like selling yourself without blatantly telling someone about yourself...remember how viral works, the target is more likely to see something desirable if someone they trust is the one doing the "selling".

Before this turns into a wall of text, here is my recommendation.

If you are friend-zoned, make the best of it. Forget about a relationship, and just be friends. Be awesome and let her see how awesome you are. There are so many benefits to friendship with a girl you like, it would be stupid to abandon the whole thing just because you're not getting what you want.

Did not read the entire post as Im getting ready to step out so Ill put my two cents in as a tag for later.

If you are friend-zoned it is your own fault. Stop playing nice guy all the time and then wonder why you dont have her. There is a good reason you arent. YOu are a friend because you are too nice. You are not complex. Treat her like you would any friend is the key.

Here is a tip for you guys. Do you pick on your guy friends? Well that is technically flirting. So in a way you are flirting with your guy friends. It is unintentional but that is still flirting. This is why treating girls the same as guys works. Whether you want them as a friend or girlfriend treat them like you would any other person.


i fucking knew you were flirting with me all those times
