You have to know the difference between a woman who wants to be friends, and a woman who knows you’re thirsty and keeps you on the hook.

Right! It's not the friend zone, it's the "ew, no. but hang out over here, we may find a use for you later" zone.

This is entirely too passive. It's more like, "welp, simps are gonna simp..." NO ONE can put anyone else in any "zone."

Only you (generic "you") can control how salty you get if someone you find attractive doesn't want to bang you. I mean, are there shitty people who'd use you out there? Sure! But in this particular instance, you have more of a you problem that will eventually lead you to get dunked on online and get arrested in Romania.

I dealt poker. Rich old guys who complained no hot girl will touch them for free. Then go on to offer the semi hot waitress a Hawaiian vacation as she rolls her eyes.

Isn't friend zone the state of liking someone you've been friends with for a long time so it's awkward to tell them how you feel?

It's sad this meaning was lost to so many people using it just as a euphemism to being rejected

It’s quiet rejection. The guy can’t stay away cause he thinks there’s a chance and the woman likes the attention but not enough to sleep with him. In this scenario the woman is the worse person for letting this happen

And a woman who wants to be in a relationship.

Or a woman who rejects you because she isn’t interested and doesn’t have to be friends with you if she isn’t interested.

What about the danger zone? And am I on the correct highway?

It exists, it’s just not what most people think it is. If someone says they just want to be friends, you aren’t in the friend zone. You were politely rejected. If one of you isn’t interested in dating the other person there is no friend zone.

The real friend zone is when you are actual friends first and both have feelings for each other, but one of you doesn’t want to risk ruining the friendship. That is the friendzone. It’s real. Just very uncommon and widely misused.

There is no friend zone, if you value the friendship of women.

If there is no friend zone, then how can a friendship exist? How can you value a friendship that can't exist?

DragonDanno t1_j28ybbq wrote

It's just called being friends. The zone is a place where men who don't want to be friends complain about being friends.

SadFox-29 t1_j298gzs wrote

Friend-zone is not being rejected by "let's just be friends" it's a state of having feelings towards a long-term friend. Usually it's precisely that you value their friendship why you're afraid to make things awkward by coming out to them.

As a guy, I’ve friend zoned people in the past so I imagine it works the same either way

SadFox-29 t1_j297x84 wrote

It does. Getting feelings towards a long-time friend and being afraid to come out to them is a real thing.

Friend zone is a real thing and it’s 95% entirely populated by men who wanted more

but each one is waiting parole as soon as their “friend” gives them the greenlight…

just being platonic friends with an attractive girl? now that’s the actual myth.

>> New Research Shows That Over 50% Of Women In Relationships Have A 'Back-up' Partner. According to a market research company, OnePoll.com, a new study shows that over 50% of women in committed relationships have a backup plan in place in case the current one does not work out.

2019 study. The back up is the friendzone

There are such a thing as shitty girls and guys who keep “backups” around because they’re vain and selfish

But it’s a minority, you just have to learn to tell the difference

It’s really easy from an outside perspective but feelings mess with that

MazdaCapella t1_j2aeo6d wrote

More than vanity and selfishness, it's just an awful way to treat another human being. I hope it's a minority, but there are lots of shitty people out there. Saying it doesn't exist minimizes the pain caused.

Tell that to my sister, she brags about how she has 3 guys to pay her bills for her simply by telling them that she "just wants to be friends for now, but maybe in the future when I'm not so busy with school and work"

Only person that can send you to the friendzone is yourself. Make it known what you want and if it ain't happening and you stick around. You friendzoned yourself.

The Friend Zone. It’s nice in here, we’ve got tea and biscuits.

Seriously if it turns out I’m in the Friend Zone, whether “she” sent me there or I went there voluntarily, doesn’t matter. I like to learn from my friends and make positive steps, or at least try to, and I make as much effort with them as they make with me.

If “she” Friendzones me and that’s that then, to quote Liam Lynch: “Whatever”

HeathenBliss t1_j2ba919 wrote

The friend zone is when you approach someone with romantic interest and they decide that they would "rather be friends". Its a polite way of saying they're not interested, and the only people who stick around to STAY in the friend zone are people who have no self respect. Seriously, it's no one's fault, but once the line is crossed (expressing interest) there's no going back, and it's just awkward and sad if you don't move on.

Men: I always get put in the fuckin friend zone.

Also Men: No I won't date an overweight woman I'm not physically attracted to, why do you ask?

See. It's that easy. The "Friend Zone." doesn't exist, people are attracted to people. That's legit all that is.

There's no such thing as the friend zone.
