The concept of the 'friendzone' always has been and always will be gross.
LouisSlungpue
sarkonas
The concept of friendzone got seriously messed up. Originally it was about girls knowingly stringing boys along to get whatever they wanted.
sarkonas
And yes, *that* friendzone is real, even though much less common than its current definition

My wife and I are best friends but we started out by shtupping each other as perfect strangers
JanitorsApprentice
Shtupping?
TheDivineUsersub
Fucking.

Same. My husband escaped the friend zone. It happens more often than most people think. I waited years for him to finally make a move.
softestpants
Sooooo.....YOU escaped the friend zone?
ExpectoPatronum17
You know, I’ve never thought of it this way! I’m going to totally tell him that!

It took me and mine 15 years to realize we should date. Only took one year of dating for him to propose. Best relationship ever

If you're in the friend zone and want to get out just make sure to tell her about the other girls you're dating.
ajax111
Or you could just... ask her out, and if she rejects you, leave it at that?
Trelkeen
Yup, sack up... Ask her out... If she says no cut ties and move on, friendzone is the weakest shit I've ever heard.
SomeCrazyNerd
Wait so don't be friends with people because they don't wanna date? Isn't that kinda petty and neckbeardy like women can't be friends?
Trelkeen
If you're not aware, typically if you have feelings for someone and they don't share th emotions it's not super enjoyable and guys will hang
Trelkeen
No, I'm saying if you're so head over heels with someone and th eyes don't share those feelings don't torture yourself, move on.
Trelkeen
Around like a puppy in hopes she will change her mind and slowly begin to resent her so it's healthier to aks her out.... Cut ties & move on
SomeCrazyNerd
I suppose leaving is at least a possibility.
NoFoxLeft
My ex husband was my best friend before we got together. He cheated, became obsessive, and abusive. Not always the best outcome.

Why I never hooked up with my best guy friend after he confessed love. He was an amazing friend, but seriously terrible red flag boyfriend.

The friend zone is a stupid concept. I mean, either you ask her out or assume she doesn’t like you. They used to just call it a crush

Is the friend zone an exclusively American phenomenon?
Cattrina
No
Rystefn
Not even a little bit. People are friends all over the world.
BrockEffingSamson
It's an exclusively imaginary phenomenon. I'm not sure if only Americans imagine it, though.
OnlyWantToSayOneThing
Basically its unrequited love taken to the extreme and given a cringey name.
stripedpajamasquid
Men I've met in and from other countries are much more obvious in their flirting and candid about their motives.
ThrowAwayAcct0000
Men in other countries are more honest about why they are talking to you, and are often less scared of rejection. I don't know why though.
stripedpajamasquid
Yeah, that's exactly my experience. They don't expect every single person to be interested in them, so they don't take it so personally.
toddthewee
Because in the US, unwanted flirting is harassment.
TheSpeakerOfTheHouse
In Straya we have wankers, yobs and hipsters. It used to happen to wankers but now it exclusively happens to hipsters. We wankers are free!

It's an exclusively creepy neckbeard phenomenon.
LandSquid12345
That's a mean-spirited thing to say. Is this really what people think? No wonder young men are feeling so alienated from society.
elppapple
No. If a guy becomes my friend in hopes of me one day fucking them, they aren't a friend. I feel no sympathy for folks who do this.
LandSquid12345
I agree, but my point is- most guys aren't planning on falling in love/having sex/whatever when they make a friend.
LandSquid12345
Not worth the effort, plus they will culturally know that the odds are slim.
LandSquid12345
Guys who make friends with women, usually actually just want to be friends. But guys fall in love super easily. Especially if they aren't
LandSquid12345
used to female attention. Then they may happen to ask said friend out, and get rejected. There's no scheming creepy plot or ulterior motive

Have you tried analysing whether or not any of them are interested in you romantically?
Nerdygasm
I met my husband when I was 14 (16 yrs ago) Our 10th wedding anniversary is next month.
DrChimRichulds
The term is for bros that think they're entitled automatically to something. They're not.
Rystefn
No. The term is for when people are friends. Sometimes one friend wants to explore a different kind of relationship. That's normal.
DrChimRichulds
Yes it is, but I've only heard it used unfavorably, usually with "stuck." Which implies loss of momentum, without moving forward...
Rystefn
It's almost like unrequited love is painful and sucks and people complain about it.
eronth
Sure, because I don't worry about being friendzoned by people I only see as friends. You'd only ever mention it when someone is stuck there.
DrChimRichulds
I get that concept, totally. But the term eliminates the possibility of friendship being an end, rather than a means to an end.

If you are friends with someone and develop feelings that aren't mutual, are you supposed to leave friendship? Its gonna hurt.

Bullshit. It was just one long boring car chase.
Bluebagger126
The last 1 had almost no dialog, no character development, no humour and no connection to the first three films. It was shithouse.
ThePastmaster
I thought it was plenty hilarious.
gimking
All the turds who downvote clearly didn't watch them in order.
Bluebagger126
Yep. I grew up watching these films. Classic Aussie cinema with many great Australian actors. And that classic XB Ford Falcon in I and I I.

I am American, I have always wanted a Falcon replica.
Brenzoneftw
I thought it was pretty good. The plot was a little bland but I enjoyed the movie.
Bluebagger126
The plot was shithouse, dialog was almost nonexistent, no humour or character development. It was just one very long car chase.
Brenzoneftw
It was more about the special effects and action. Apparently 95% of the movie was real, including the cars and explosions.
Bluebagger126
It was still a shit film and the worst Mad Max film.

I have the mind set that the friend zone is kind of...well not real. Look man if you get rejected or you can't ask someone out and don't

Holy shit guys. This guy figured out love.
HodgeNPodge
McPopplers
The friend zone is real, but it’s the dudes fault, I know from experience. If you want more and she doesn’t? Don’t let her “use” you. Bounce
JamieSmyth
So if the girl doesn't want to date you, you can't be friends anymore?
McPopplers
Yes, if you have stronger feelings and can’t deal with it.
etere
It's real but it's not what everyone thinks it is. I've seen it once, she treated the guy like a boyfriend in everything 1/2.
etere
Except the fun stuff. She would literally hang onto him like they were a couple. Another girl liked him but was convinced they were dating.
TheOtherOneWithTheHair
Yeah basically just getting everything you want out of a relationship and refusing to give the other person what they want, both sexes do it
MrMattster
I've had a girl friend that did this. Took quite a while to notice what was happening, and what was never going to happen.
Squinge
It can only exist with sexual entitlement. Notice that it's always dudes complaining about their female friends and never the other way?

Yup, always chatted a girl and even took her to homecoming and always thought of her as a friend. Apparently later she thought of us as more
imshibagel
I've seen women complain about it
TheOtherOneWithTheHair
Nah, it's because men and women are different. Women complain about being in the fuck zone the same way men complain about the friend zone.
OnlyWantToSayOneThing
Most guys who aren't hot AF don't get any attention, then they get the tiniest bit they instantly fall in love because they are starved 1/?

Women... aren't as starved for attention. Just socially the .01% of guys who send dick picks already flood the market for women. 2/?
ohmegatron
Lol it's WAY higher than .01%

According to yougov market research, age 18-30, 5% of males have sent unsolicited pics, and 41% of women have received them unsolicited. 1/?

If they want attention like that, they can get it much easier because that is just where our society is at right now, not sexism saying 3/?

that guys or girls are any more thirsty,if the situation was reversed then lots of females would be friendzoned and starved for attention4/4
imgonnahurtu
It's real in the sense that ladder theory works. It's villainized by neckbeards.

I think it's that guys take forever to consider girl friends to only be friends, while girls think of you as one or another early on.
ThrowAwayAcct0000
Girls decide usually with the first minute of meeting you. You have a chance of changing that, if its not what you want, but the chance geys
ThrowAwayAcct0000
Gets smaller with time. Make a move in the beginning, if you want to date, or don't bother.
OnlyWantToSayOneThing
A lot of guys fall in love with the first girl who is friendly to them, since unless you're hot AF most guys don't get any attention. 1/?
OnlyWantToSayOneThing
Going from 0 attention to even the tiniest sliver of niceness from the opposite sex, even if she was just being nice, causes this issue. 2/2

tracereading
The way I see it is that in some cases these are established friendships that the guy wants to take further but the girl is all lol no.
dogmoind
It's not real at all. You either ask a girl out, get rejected and move on. Or you be friends, NOT looking for a relationship, ever.
eronth
The friend zone is being friends with them where they don't want something further, regardless of whether you want something further or not.
eronth
I've friendzoned a lot of people, just most of them friendzoned me right back. It's only when you want more when you feel you're 'stuck'.
H13a
The friend zone is real, however what a lot of people THINK is the friend zone isn't. Somebody being "nice" to you is not being in the zone.
H13a
2/ However, somebody who knows you have feelings for them, not respecting boundaries and taking advantage of those feelings is another thing
H13a
3/ The issue is that there are some people you just can't be nice to without them thinking the wrong thing.
ninjagingeraffe06
And as a straight girl, most of us don't friend zone dudes. We literally think you are our friend. So don't pretend just to hope you 1/2

aren't women who use men as "backups". I've seen a lot of that, too. Just maybe, don't lump us in? Some women genuinely want your friendship
Shitsngigs
I think that some people view others as being friends and not romantic/sexual options. That’s not a wrongdoing, but I think it happens. And>
Shitsngigs
I think that it can suck for someone it happens to. But it just happens. You can still want to be friends and you just have to get over.
Shitsngigs
I would say it’s still a friend-zone though if you want to label it.
CommanderCaribou
Wanna be friends. Just leave. You categorize yourself into that spot. You wanna date? Try. If not? Bounce the fuck on out. Easy.

Yeah I mean, it's all nice in theory, but what if you fall madly in love with someone, feel like they're the one? Theory is cool,reality tho

This. The Friendzone only exists in the heads of people who think that's where they're at. People that need to grow TF up.

"Friend zoned" folks lack balls and poise, thus they're exactly what women do not want. Be nice, but go for what you want.

It implies that there's something bad about anything other than a sexual relationship anyway. But I've always seen it as a cop out excuse.

It also implies that the person is and for wanting a relationship BECAUSE they're good friends. Which doesn't even make sense.
