Some of my best friends are attractive girls I'm simply not personally attracted to.
Trox3l
I had one of those. We still had sex one night and it ruined our friendship. That's happened twice to me even tho I wasn't attracted to them
That sucks. I've been lucky to have the opposite happen once (sex first, friends later) but I just don't toe that line. Friends aren't food.
sipos0
You obviously have poor impulse control or, are very bad at saying no.
Ya its pretty shameful. Thanks for pointing it out tho.
eronth
which means you friend-zoned them. And they (probably) friend-zoned you right back.
ReferentialEquations
So they're friends?
yes, basically. 0 intent to ever try to move the relationship forward or further? friends (mutually friend-zoned). That's what the term is!
so basically, if your friend is recognizably hot, you're friendzoning them?
no. If you have a friend you're not interested in (ever) having some sex/relationship with, they're friend zoned. Looks.

MRW people complain about being friendzoned.

Who ever said men and women can't be friends? That's not what the friend zone is about.
vincentsl
The friend zone can only exist if one of the parties wants to be more than friends. Otherwise, it's just a friendship like any other.
DoPeopleActuallyReadUsernames
'Can men and women be just friends?' Yes. I'm much more comfortable talking to women than men. I'd say about 2/3 of my friends are women
PossiblyNotAGoblin
Most of my friends are guys. Not because Im whorey or they want to fuck me... Im just more male minded apparently. My only girl friends >

MordorTrackTeam
Is he basically saying, "The real meaning of this movie is too complex for some people, so they dumb it down to mean something they know."

Exactly, when you say you got friend zoned you're saying the only reason you even talked to that person was to have sex with them.

Relationship: i like you, you like me. Hook up: i like you physically, you like me physically or otherwise Unrequited love: I like you, (1)
You don't like me. Friend zone: I like you, you like me but not physically. Friends: I like you nonphysically, you like me nonphysically (2)
Enemies: we hate each other and constantly try to kill one another (this one also often leads to sex somehow)
Please provide in flowchart form.
I think it's more of a Venn diagram
SenatorFrankUnderwear
Straight up though, chicks aren't actually friends with dudes in the "friend-zone", it should just be called the reject zone.
GasBandit
That's really what it is - It's not really being friends, it's trying to convince themselves they're not hurting you by rejecting you.
you say it like she's to blame, and like being friends with someone is a punishment.
Probably not on purpose, but what she's mainly accomplishing is giving the guy false hope by trying to offer a consolation "friendship."
by saying that, you're saying the highest level to achieve is sex. sex is not something u 'achieve'. She has no obligation to give him that
Of course not, but just shoot him down and be done with him. Don't give him false hope, and don't keep him around to listen to (1/2)
oldmanjoel
In my opinion the friendzone is when you like someone and they obviously like you back but decide not to act on it cause your friendship 1/2
means too much to them and they would rather not risk what they have with you already with a relationship.Thus putting you in the friendzone

Even worse (imo) is the girlfriend/boyfriend zone, where your friendship isn't good enough for some people.

iamjacksbadusername
I think this is the most accurate description I have heard. The friendzone is not the same as "I want to fuck the girl who is nice to me."
AtlanticPENUMBRA
Right -- so when you're unwilling or unable to move on and find a real relationship that meets your needs.
come with a relationship like that, except she does not have sexual contact with you or call you a boyfriend. (2)
self-proclaimed nice guys is: guys who think being a decent human should be rewarded with sex, & when they're not they blame/hate the girl.

haveyouheardabouttheseinternetmemes
If you continue to be friends with someone who is weirdly jealous and possessive when they aren't even your girlfriend then that's on you.
I agree, and in my case I ended it for my sanity's sake, and I don't blame her for my (stil messed up) feelings.
MusculusSternocleidomastoideus
I act the same around my friends as I do around my boyfriend, except for the sexual stuff. That's called great friends, isn't it?
I'd hope you have a deeper/more intimate emotional connection with your boyfriend, as well as having sex with each other. 1/2
Maybe you are just a very open person and are completely open with your friends too. 2/2
deeper and he broke up with me.So I'd rather tell my friends, cause I know they'll always be there. I don't need a bf, just a sexbuddy ;) /2
I indeed am a very open person. I tell everyone everything, even those who I don't know that long. I once told my boyfriend something 1/2
(2) made promises of a relationship. To me that's the definition of a friendzone.
MyBubbles
what a bitch. either she wants a relationship or not. what's the point of having you hanging in there.
My guess was convenience. She probably had no intention of getting into a relationship with me but liked having the availability.
I get that, but if she makes it clear at the beginning no one gets hurt.
That's not the friendzone, that's the classic taking advantage of someone.
(1) Idk, stringing someone along, telling them you want a relationship but aren't ready, then later saying "we're better off as friends" and
(2) then repeating the cycle seems at least like some variation of a friendzone to me. They would never allow it to be more than friends.
I'm pretty sure everyone's definition of "Friend Zone" involves zero sex. You're thinking of "Fuck Buddy."
"Fuck buddy" implies no strings attached sex. But what I'm talking about involved strings/promises of strings. "friendzone" can involve sex.
Well, getting back to the original comment, if you and another have obligations, possessiveness, jealousy, AND sex, you got a relationship!
zorakid
What I call a friendzone is when I want to have a romantic relationship with a girl that only wants a platonic one with me.
djrip
This is exactly what it is. Why are so many confused about it?
Littlemousling
That's called a "crush," usually.
vezmus
If you express your feelings, and they don't reciprocate, it's no longer a crush. It becomes the friend zone.
No, it becomes friendship, unless you're unable to deal, in which case that friend deserves better than your "friendship."
Feelings aren't turned on and off at will. I wouldn't go out of my way to keep seeing someone when the desire for them is lingering inside.
no, crush just means attraction. The definition of friendzone is literally "friend zone". Where one is categorized as a friend and no more.
That doesn't need its own thing. If you have a crush on a friend, it's a crush on a friend.
try urban dict, the popular consensus for the definition is romantic rejection via forceful platonic branding.
It doesn't need it's own term, but for some reason it has it.

As someone who read every book at least 10x, I think the romance subplots aren't great. It's mostly told instead of shown...no chemistry.

Very few of the US child stars gone bad would benefit in any way from parental authority though. Shia, Lohan, Calkin, Barrymore -fame 1/2
Which is where better regulations would come into play, and is also covered in the linked article.
or not, they wouldn't turn out good.I think there are way more pushy stage parents in the US who will use their child as a ticket to fame2/3

wooow.... So the guardian thinks its ok to dig up 4+ yr old stories and rework them? Bad journalism.
I'd call that battling with abuse. You don't stop battling once you stop drinking, it's a permanent thing...
I forgot about that, wasn't he drunk on set when he was shooting?

Towards the end. I think he's gotten help.But if you've been a child star on the same franchise since you were 10, wouldn't you have issues?

I don't know about the US, but in the UK the stars tend to come from good backgrounds because acting/performance schools are extremely (1/?)
expensive, and big film/tv companies tend to use british people with posher accents for their roles. It seems like the rise to fame (2/3)
here isn't quite as steep too, the stars aren't truly 'big time' until they've made it in the US too, which may help (3/3)

My best friends happen to be women, (i'm a dudebro, btw) but it's only because we have the same degenerate taste in humor and music.

Being in the friendzone is like being "on the hook" of someone, for everyone that knows HIMYM!
I'm with you on this one but many of my friends say that they would of they could, not the idea of friendship in my opinion.
woflborg
I think its amazing how everyone just thinks all men want to sleep with all the women. Its as if they havent experienced actual friendship.
Well, all the men seem to be agreeing.
Friendship requires more than just compatible fleshy parts, so its a bit of a loaded question to query like this.
Nope, just the immature ones.
YamatoIouko
There seems to be a disconnect between actively seeking sex and willing to have it if it were offered.
I hear tinder works wonders for that.
Beltleatherbelt
Not sure if you're saying you've never had a friend you actually wouldn't have sex with if offered ;/
Of course. That doesn't mean that there isn't an issue of people mistaking the two as the same thing.
DegenerateLittleShit
If you want a relationship and they only want to be friends, its going to feel like a consolation.
That's not their fault. But there's nothing wrong with saying "you're great, but I'm out," if it's not making you happy. Go make new friends
I know that's not their fault. What is is when I want out and they call me shallow and guilt me into staying "friends". (1/?)
Or even better, i reveal my feelings and they say we should stay friends, and then we never do the friend things we used to do ever again.
Are they fifteen? Because adults don't generally do that. But honestly, then, fuck them, and go make new friends. Same solution.
They were adults. And...I did go make new friends, little mousling. That's not really the point. (1/2)

As a female with a male best friend, I wholeheartedly agree!
Ishdakitty
Most of my friends have always been guys. I just don't relate to women. Many of my guy friends call me "little sis" after 10+ years of it.
mostthethings
Sometimes people have unrequited crushes on their friends. Should try to avoid it, but doesn't make you a bad person.
If you want a relationship and they want to just stay friends, it's going to feel like a consolation.
"Your dog died, but here, you can keep the fur. Isn't it nice and fluffy and warm?"
Nobody ever said being friends with a girl isn't ok. But being friends with someone you "like-like" sucks for everyone.
I honestly think more people need to take on the "you're great, but my social life is swamped and I'm trying to find a gf/bf, see you" plan
Yeah, most people aren't as honest as they'd like to think they are...
I think age helps enormously. I just don't have the time and energy to waste on friends who I'm unhappy around, even if it's not their fault
Also I'm guessing not one guy that responded to your post is over 25.
VidiVeniThenSheLeft
Ugh, you're one of those girls who is convinced she's "one of the guys," aren't you

strangelyaddicting
Put yourself in their shoes. You want to date a guy, but he has no interest in you like that. But wants to be friends. Sucks a bit huh?
IamMelonLordeYaYaYa
You're posing this as thought it could never happen to a female and that it's hard for us to wrap our entitled minds around it
It DOES happen, though it's definitely not the majority.
No I'm not. You're misconstruing it to seem that way. The fact is, this is a predominantly male issue. It has nothing to do with entitlement
A fact? Seriously? A fact. Can you prove it? Show me the statistics? Find me a SINGLE girl anywhere that has never had unrequited feelings?
XooMG
I agree but it can be tough when both psychologically predisposed and socially encouraged to gauge ourselves with romance and sex appeal.
Rationally, to be a friend is a good thing. However, it can easily be felt as a failure of sorts, especially when we lack confidence.
mioelnir
To me the term friendzone was never equal to being friends. It always had a 'knowingly taking advantage' component - i.e. NOT friendship.
CapnJackSparrow
I've always seen it as a settling for second kind of thing. Not all friendships are friendzones, but if you can't get the girl so become 1/2
friends in the hopes of getting her or such then that's the actual friendzone. If she says "no, but we can still be friends"
TGWeaver
I see it too, and either side can do it: Women who twist suckers, and perverts who are only friends with women in the hopes of getting some.

Ok so here's my story just for the fucks of it and so i can get it off of my system too, i've liked this girl from the moment i saw her (1)
so i told her i did, she was unsure, just coming out of a relationship, we tried it didn´t work for her. Its been half a year now (2)
i love her friendship but i don´t think this situation is doing me any good, am i doing something wrong here? (3)
Koantum
I have no problem having normal friendships with females, but that doesn't mean I don't have sex in the back of my mind. It's unavoidable.
LonLonRanchDressing
I agree with the other reply. I've thought of what it would be like to have sex with my guy friends but it was out of boredom and curiosity
you really lower the expectations for your gender to be more than dogs around female dogs in heat.
I'm not so sure about that comparison, but I am an animal. At least I'm honest with myself and I'm willing to share my feelings openly.
nope, you should contain those feelings if they mean sexually harassing/objectifying women.
ImJustHereSoIDontGetFined
My best friend is female. I mean, sure, I've thought about it but it's not constantly on my mind. It's a curiosity, not a desire.

What if both happen though? Love her, but not in a romantic way. Still sometimes feel incredibly attracted to her sometimes though..
LaughingWolf

CallMeInV
Take any of your single male friends. And ask them if they'd have sex with you. I think you'd be surprised by the result.
parallaxis
Sooooo, friendship sex?
What, like sex buddies? *trumpets play a fanfare*
javaMakesMeAnxious
So? Does that mean they can't be friends?
It means that she gets to pick who she is "more than friends" with, and the guys don't.
Of course they can. They can go out and find people who are attracted to them, and date those people, just as she can.
I don't really understand how is this an answer to the question I asked.
Yes. I don't believe you can be friends with someone you want to sleep with. Then it becomes something else.
Are ,,would have sex with" and ,,want to have sex with" the same thing? Because they aren't for me.
PuppyDontCare
So what if they say yes? Friendship is cancelled?
I think he's just making a point. Is being interested in having sex with a friend wrong? Especially if it's not actively sought out?
It means she wasn't in the friend zone, they were.
Yes. Because it isn't just friendship to them. They want more. They don't see you as JUST a friend.
A lot of guys would bang pretty much anyone they find attractive and don't hate. There's a difference between craving a cookie and [1]
So because I would have sex with someone I can be friends with them? What if I want a friendship more than sex?

no hipstery artsy guys friendzone girls all the time. but meh, if you value your friendship you'll move on.
Like, "I wanted to go out with so-and-so, but they put me in the friend-zone!"
ShamnusMcfee
That's because they have no idea how social interactions work and thing making friends is the first step in a romance.
ColdExcalibur
The sounds a lot like the social interactions of the sims
well, they're not wrong. Most couples start out as friends.
Making friends is the first step in many romances. It's so weird to me that people think it shouldn't be.
I agree. Relationships based solely on attraction are weak. That Bill Murray quote - go on a very long trip before before you get married. 1
If you get burned out on that person before you get back, the marriage is not going to end well. Paraphrasing, but that was good advice. 2

yes, basically. 0 intent to ever try to move the relationship forward or further? friends (mutually friend-zoned). That's what the term is!

Who ever said men and women can't be friends? That's not what the friend zone is about.

The friend zone can only exist if one of the parties wants to be more than friends. Otherwise, it's just a friendship like any other.

'Can men and women be just friends?' Yes. I'm much more comfortable talking to women than men. I'd say about 2/3 of my friends are women

Straight up though, chicks aren't actually friends with dudes in the "friend-zone", it should just be called the reject zone.
GasBandit
That's really what it is - It's not really being friends, it's trying to convince themselves they're not hurting you by rejecting you.
eatingketchupchips
you say it like she's to blame, and like being friends with someone is a punishment.
GasBandit
Probably not on purpose, but what she's mainly accomplishing is giving the guy false hope by trying to offer a consolation "friendship."
eatingketchupchips
by saying that, you're saying the highest level to achieve is sex. sex is not something u 'achieve'. She has no obligation to give him that

Of course not, but just shoot him down and be done with him. Don't give him false hope, and don't keep him around to listen to (1/2)

In my opinion the friendzone is when you like someone and they obviously like you back but decide not to act on it cause your friendship 1/2

My guess was convenience. She probably had no intention of getting into a relationship with me but liked having the availability.
MyBubbles
I get that, but if she makes it clear at the beginning no one gets hurt.
caassapaba
That's not the friendzone, that's the classic taking advantage of someone.
Zalophus
(1) Idk, stringing someone along, telling them you want a relationship but aren't ready, then later saying "we're better off as friends" and
Zalophus
(2) then repeating the cycle seems at least like some variation of a friendzone to me. They would never allow it to be more than friends.
onemillionzeros
I'm pretty sure everyone's definition of "Friend Zone" involves zero sex. You're thinking of "Fuck Buddy."
Zalophus
"Fuck buddy" implies no strings attached sex. But what I'm talking about involved strings/promises of strings. "friendzone" can involve sex.
onemillionzeros
Well, getting back to the original comment, if you and another have obligations, possessiveness, jealousy, AND sex, you got a relationship!
zorakid
What I call a friendzone is when I want to have a romantic relationship with a girl that only wants a platonic one with me.
djrip
This is exactly what it is. Why are so many confused about it?
Littlemousling
That's called a "crush," usually.
vezmus
If you express your feelings, and they don't reciprocate, it's no longer a crush. It becomes the friend zone.
Littlemousling
No, it becomes friendship, unless you're unable to deal, in which case that friend deserves better than your "friendship."
vezmus
Feelings aren't turned on and off at will. I wouldn't go out of my way to keep seeing someone when the desire for them is lingering inside.
zorakid
no, crush just means attraction. The definition of friendzone is literally "friend zone". Where one is categorized as a friend and no more.
Littlemousling
That doesn't need its own thing. If you have a crush on a friend, it's a crush on a friend.
zorakid
try urban dict, the popular consensus for the definition is romantic rejection via forceful platonic branding.
djrip
It doesn't need it's own term, but for some reason it has it.

My three closest friends are all dudes. Been my friends since Secondary school ^^
biglu
Oh honey, they all wanna sleep with you
TheseAreBeautifulTimes
want to date them or anything. Friendship isn't just a consolation prize, guys... being friends can be just as cool! (2/2)
DJFergy
This implies that you have friends to begin with.
YamatoIouko
Yes, that's true. However, when you fancy someone, trying to be friends WHILE getting over them really sucks.
chocolatedisco
As a female with a male best friend, I wholeheartedly agree!
Ishdakitty
Most of my friends have always been guys. I just don't relate to women. Many of my guy friends call me "little sis" after 10+ years of it.
mostthethings
Sometimes people have unrequited crushes on their friends. Should try to avoid it, but doesn't make you a bad person.
DegenerateLittleShit
If you want a relationship and they want to just stay friends, it's going to feel like a consolation.

"Your dog died, but here, you can keep the fur. Isn't it nice and fluffy and warm?"
SwedishRationalist
Nobody ever said being friends with a girl isn't ok. But being friends with someone you "like-like" sucks for everyone.
Littlemousling
I honestly think more people need to take on the "you're great, but my social life is swamped and I'm trying to find a gf/bf, see you" plan
SwedishRationalist
Yeah, most people aren't as honest as they'd like to think they are...
Littlemousling
I think age helps enormously. I just don't have the time and energy to waste on friends who I'm unhappy around, even if it's not their fault
Ishdakitty
Also I'm guessing not one guy that responded to your post is over 25.
VidiVeniThenSheLeft
Ugh, you're one of those girls who is convinced she's "one of the guys," aren't you
Ishdakitty
Ugh, you're one of those guys who's female friends mysteriously date all of your friends but you, aren't you?
VidiVeniThenSheLeft
No, not at all. But if you're deluding yourself into thinking the guys are the same around you as they are around each other, you're wrong.
GetOffMyLawnYa
Every single one of them want to bang you. YES, even that one.
astropapi1
Most of them would fuck you if you asked for it. I'm breaking the BroCode just to tell you this, keep the secret safe.
Littlemousling
The thing about this is, like, everyone here is on Imgur. We've all seen many, many posts being awful about unattractive women. MANY. So ...
strangelyaddicting
Put yourself in their shoes. You want to date a guy, but he has no interest in you like that. But wants to be friends. Sucks a bit huh?
IamMelonLordeYaYaYa
You're posing this as thought it could never happen to a female and that it's hard for us to wrap our entitled minds around it
YamatoIouko
It DOES happen, though it's definitely not the majority.
strangelyaddicting
No I'm not. You're misconstruing it to seem that way. The fact is, this is a predominantly male issue. It has nothing to do with entitlement
IamMelonLordeYaYaYa
A fact? Seriously? A fact. Can you prove it? Show me the statistics? Find me a SINGLE girl anywhere that has never had unrequited feelings?
XooMG
I agree but it can be tough when both psychologically predisposed and socially encouraged to gauge ourselves with romance and sex appeal.
XooMG
Rationally, to be a friend is a good thing. However, it can easily be felt as a failure of sorts, especially when we lack confidence.
mioelnir
To me the term friendzone was never equal to being friends. It always had a 'knowingly taking advantage' component - i.e. NOT friendship.
CapnJackSparrow
I've always seen it as a settling for second kind of thing. Not all friendships are friendzones, but if you can't get the girl so become 1/2
CapnJackSparrow
friends in the hopes of getting her or such then that's the actual friendzone. If she says "no, but we can still be friends"
TGWeaver
I see it too, and either side can do it: Women who twist suckers, and perverts who are only friends with women in the hopes of getting some.
tashinagray22
VERY well-put.
mioelnir
<(^^<) <(^ ^)> (>^^)> thanks :)
fireeternal
Ok so here's my story just for the fucks of it and so i can get it off of my system too, i've liked this girl from the moment i saw her (1)
fireeternal
so i told her i did, she was unsure, just coming out of a relationship, we tried it didn´t work for her. Its been half a year now (2)
fireeternal
i love her friendship but i don´t think this situation is doing me any good, am i doing something wrong here? (3)
Koantum
I have no problem having normal friendships with females, but that doesn't mean I don't have sex in the back of my mind. It's unavoidable.
LonLonRanchDressing
I agree with the other reply. I've thought of what it would be like to have sex with my guy friends but it was out of boredom and curiosity
eatingketchupchips
you really lower the expectations for your gender to be more than dogs around female dogs in heat.
Koantum
I'm not so sure about that comparison, but I am an animal. At least I'm honest with myself and I'm willing to share my feelings openly.
eatingketchupchips
nope, you should contain those feelings if they mean sexually harassing/objectifying women.
ImJustHereSoIDontGetFined
My best friend is female. I mean, sure, I've thought about it but it's not constantly on my mind. It's a curiosity, not a desire.
daellat
What if both happen though? Love her, but not in a romantic way. Still sometimes feel incredibly attracted to her sometimes though..
LaughingWolf
This one understands^
CallMeInV
Take any of your single male friends. And ask them if they'd have sex with you. I think you'd be surprised by the result.
parallaxis
Sooooo, friendship sex?
YamatoIouko
What, like sex buddies? *trumpets play a fanfare*
javaMakesMeAnxious
So? Does that mean they can't be friends?
GasBandit
It means that she gets to pick who she is "more than friends" with, and the guys don't.
Littlemousling
Of course they can. They can go out and find people who are attracted to them, and date those people, just as she can.
javaMakesMeAnxious
I don't really understand how is this an answer to the question I asked.
CallMeInV
Yes. I don't believe you can be friends with someone you want to sleep with. Then it becomes something else.
javaMakesMeAnxious
Are ,,would have sex with" and ,,want to have sex with" the same thing? Because they aren't for me.
PuppyDontCare
So what if they say yes? Friendship is cancelled?
YamatoIouko
I think he's just making a point. Is being interested in having sex with a friend wrong? Especially if it's not actively sought out?
GasBandit
It means she wasn't in the friend zone, they were.
CallMeInV
Yes. Because it isn't just friendship to them. They want more. They don't see you as JUST a friend.

ImJustHereSoIDontGetFined
A lot of guys would bang pretty much anyone they find attractive and don't hate. There's a difference between craving a cookie and [1]
MyBubbles
So because I would have sex with someone I can be friends with them? What if I want a friendship more than sex?
ImJustHereSoIDontGetFined
saying "yeah, ok, sure" if a cookie is offered to you. [2]
cortesi
I would eat peach pie. That doesn't mean I can't have dinner because I only want peach pie. Dinner is just as good!

Is this backwards? I think the one who just wants friendship is the one who friend-zones the one who wants more than that.
eatingketchupchips
no hipstery artsy guys friendzone girls all the time. but meh, if you value your friendship you'll move on.
djrip
Like, "I wanted to go out with so-and-so, but they put me in the friend-zone!"
ShamnusMcfee
That's because they have no idea how social interactions work and thing making friends is the first step in a romance.
ColdExcalibur
The sounds a lot like the social interactions of the sims
eetsumkaus
well, they're not wrong. Most couples start out as friends.
djrip
Making friends is the first step in many romances. It's so weird to me that people think it shouldn't be.
vezmus
I agree. Relationships based solely on attraction are weak. That Bill Murray quote - go on a very long trip before before you get married. 1
vezmus
If you get burned out on that person before you get back, the marriage is not going to end well. Paraphrasing, but that was good advice. 2

Why is this in bad replies? It's a valid point.

I keep forgetting. We should just swap the names; at this point it would be easier :p

inb4 "by bothering to differentiate between the two you're just proving that you are one hurr durr"
iamnotironman
Your fucking name is TheRealFedora, you don't have to do anything else to prove you are one. So what are you talking about?
TheRealFedora
...did you even bother to read it?
iamnotironman
Did you read it? Nobody is going to say it because you're it's so apparent without.
Littlemousling
the saddest thing in the world to me is that trilbys have been ruined by neckbeards, because my god, queer women look incredible in them.
TheRealFedora
I have yet to see a lesbian in a trilby. Pics please.

I don't believe you. I demand a pic of her snogging a gal.
Littlemousling
(I also have photos of several exes in them, but those are, ahem, private photos. God, I love a girl in a trilby.)

...this is doing nothing to help my productivity at work.
