Why does the term "Friend zone" exist...???

[Renefrade]

It just cringes when i hear it.

Like really?. Is friends a disease to these people? Because gender...

I mean if you don't feel like being friends then stop visiting or hanging out with that person. There done. If that person is not interested then just ignore it and move on. Humans have preferences and thats normal.

Its such a silly term that i have no words. Was seeing a movie with someone called "Just Friends 2005". And it reminds me how much that meme "Tips Fedora" is relevant for some reason. Even if the joke is silly and a little good, it works and is sorta legit.

Honestly, this a really good and legitimate question. I have wondered that too, but  I decided to make my own conclusion for why it exists. I believe it exists because people like to organize things colors, friends, etc. They organize the people they know into zones like "friend zone" to make it easier for them. If I had to say, I believe there are three categories the first and worst is enemy, the second is of course the "friend zone", and last would be significat other or others.

I never use the term and no one I know does, so I'm no expert. But I think when a guy gets rejected by a girl, its easier for the guy to say he got friendzoned rather than saying he got rejected.

Being the relationship guru that I am...
The friend zone is when you are viewed as only a friend by your potential crush. Any moves you make to spark a relationship are dismissed as "oh you're so funny, that's why you're my best friend".

Personally, for me, the term "friendzone" is used by self-victimizing boys to feel better about being undatable.

Its most commonly used by the stereo-typed fedora wearing neck-beards, and is equally used among other boys that are typically immature just because a woman won't have specific relations with him just because he was being nice.

You don't get a pat on the back and a cookie every time you're nice, its something guys should be doing in the first place.

Yeah. Its good manners to be polite, it all lies in the attitude. No matter who they are. In terms of relationship, its best to have common interest, but being rude is where one can just say no and go seperate ways. I mean maybe not all care for that stuff, but people are people i guess.

But by giving in to expectations of what people in general prefer a person to be, that is a low blow in my opinion. I mean if thats the world one think it should evolve around. I mean people do have preferences but to demand something like that is bad i feel.

But interests and friends lasts forever.

Do a little google searching, this message isn't intended to be taken offensively; but there are a few articles spread around of men murdering women for rejecting their advances. Its not just as simple as saying no and going separate ways.


Immature boys, and sometimes men, resort to violence the second they are rejected. They mentally tear women down, calling them derogatory names, and sometimes harassing them through social networking.


I will admit that women aren't perfect little angels either. They resort to psychological warfare to take down their enemies, and sometimes murder. Women can be malicious too and are almost half of all domestic violence disputes.


Both men and women, girls and boys, do some really messed up stuff in terms of hurting others.

Why do you think us guys live in turmoil knowing that really hot chick you wanna get with only sees you as a platonic friend? My advice to anyone who gets friend-zoned, you have only two options

A.) Just drop her completely

B.) Accept that you and her are friends and nothing else.

There is no option C

If a guy develops feelings for the girl and the feeling isn't mutual it is not her fault.

The only option here is to accept that you're friends with her and nothing else. She doesn't have to "Give him a chance" if she's not interested. And if the guy acts aggressively after she rejects his advances then he never was really her friend at all, he was just looking for an easy lay.


Yeah, you're allowed to be disappointed and a bit sad. But also dropping her after she rejects said person is immaturity at best.

Well, it can be hard being around someone you like knowing you can't be with them. Sometimes creating distance is the best thing to do, at least until you get over them.

Yeah, distance is okay. People need some time. But just straight out dropping her is really immature.

[Dubaku]

I dunno, I just give a straightforward "Nah." Ensuring no harm done.

[Alistair]

To be completely honest if anyone, guy or girl, is just nice to someone just because they have the intention of getting into bed with them; then that person isn't their friend. Its a passive aggressive attempt at getting a one night stand.


The term "friend zone" shouldn't even exist.


And the reason why guys or girls are rejected for sexual advances is because they're being friendly, they have not expressed any interest in the person. If you don't express interest in them then just spring the question on them, of course they're gonna say no. The person in question probably hasn't had enough time to get to know the person before the question is sprung.


Dating is a process. Its a lot of trial and error. You aren't going to get the very first person you develop a crush on.

[Dubaku]

Eh, I just can't help but be superficial. Besides a one night stand never hurt anyone.

[Alistair]

Then be upfront about your advances, don't put someone through hell just because you want a one night stand.
