no your not missing anything, just reading too much and listening too much. Heres the truth, those who talk about the friendzone heard about the friendzone, those who hear4d about it talked about it, and so on and so forth, guess where it started? On american pie 1. :p

thats my best example. tv controls us and we love to listen to her, cus she is afterall SEXY as fuck.

if someone says i dont want to date you cus we are too good of friends, she obviously isnt interested in dating you and thats that, it has nothing to do with a good friendship.

I think to some extent, being "friendzoned" is a euphemism for "she's not interested in you".

'you're in the friendzone' is another word for 'this girl doesn't want to fuck you'

the thing you're missing is that girls will often say "OH HES A GREAT FRIEND" or "HES MY BEST FRIEND" about guys they actually want to fuck from time to time

friend zone is synonymous with "unattractive." friendzone are friends that you're completely unattractive to, which doesnt have to be the case. Many good friends have some sort of sexual attraction, but its hard to "become" attractive after a girl is accustomed to you being unsexy.
recognize me?

The same stuff happens in my life man. In my past relationships, usually I was friends with the girl first, sometimes for over a year. Clearly, the "friendzone" doesn't mean "you have no chance."

Thank you Rekrul for clearing up my misconception.

However, on TL girl threads I keep seeing "You took too long, she's friendzoned you" like friendzone is a function of time rather than fuckability.

yeah if you let this friend(girl) see youra complete pompass ass, who would want that lol. derp made a pretty good point, when you first meet a girl she interested, then the more you let her see how stupid or unclean or broke, or just loserish you are, whats there to want? So for some, the sooner the better, for others its not that big of a deal cus they are legit guys.

nah it's just a term that got overgeneralized to situations where it doesnt apply. That and there's alot of spineless people out there so they use that as an excuse etc etc

tl girl threads are places you should never go in the first place...but somehow they draw you in
Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

it's neither, it's a matter of perception. often times a male could have possibly gotten in a girls pants and become her bf if he acted correctly in the right amount of time...but for w/e reason he acted like a pussy/douche and doesn't and the girl stoped respecting him

that of course doesn't mean u can't regain a girls respect and attraction

this all of course is very obvious to anyone with a brain, but sometimes ppl here like to make blogs saying OMG DOES SHE LIKE ME? and even dumber people like to act cool saying 'no dude, ur in the friend zone, game over'

though, if u make a blog complaining about friendzone likely u r in it and will never get out

I think what you are missing is that the friend zone term is (or should if it isn't) only be used to describe the situation you are in after you stop dating someone, or you just meet someone and you go on a date with them, and they call you a "nice friend".

However, my RL experiences completely contradict what is apparently common knowledge. The girl I am currently seeing I've known for nearly a year, and one of my best friends just started dating a girl who he was really good friends with throughout all of high school (4 years!). I can name tons of other instances where "good friends" have gone onto serious relationships; is there something I'm missing here?


How hot you are is inversely proportional to how fast you get into the friend zone.

If you are a really hot guy, you will not get friendzoned ever, if you are ugly and unattractive, then you can be her "friend" instead.

so the advice is:

-be hot
-be sexy
-don't be not hot and not sexy

You have three options.

1) Be whiny and passive-aggressive
2) Claim to be homosexual*
3) Hang around women who are more attractive/confident

I prefer option (3) since you win even if it fails.

*: Only works if you're a dude.
My strategy is to fork people.

I have this same problem.
Your really only solution is either start complaining about an std you don't have or sound like a whiny pansy fuck (pretend like its a sc2 forum).
Also, its hard not to love baller.

This may not necessarily work, merely because you are so off limits they will want to have sex with you. If they see you dating / sexing another woman, they will jump on you immediately. Similar psychology to women loving men with girlfriends.

if you're attractive then you have nothing to worry about

if you're like me and in the middle, then you're not allowed to be funny out of the gate, if so you enter immediate friend zone territory.

its taken my 6 years to learn all about the friend zone and I am the fucking KING of the friend zone, with a LOOOOOT of girls. I was awarded class clown at a 5A high school with 800 people, and I was friends with ALL the girls, only dated 3.

friend zone not a myth, you're either attractive or not that funny
