The Friendzone does it exist? -

[Steve Mayers]

The term "friendzone" is where one party desires a romantic relationship that isn't reciprocated by the other party. However some say that it doesn't actually exist and is a term used by people who believe they are entitled to relationships. I'm wondering what fellow Kiwi's think of the "friendzone" and what it means or if it's even real in the first place.

Not the friendzone if you want to have friends.

That’s exactly what it is. Be upfront with your intentions and move on if the other party isn’t interested. Believe me, I’ve... well I’ve at least heard of rejection, and can imagine what it must feel like, but continuing to obsess or lament that rejection isn’t healthy.

Yes it does exist and you can even see everywhere around you. You may even experience it yourself. In cases where a couple- dozens will orbit around around one girl hoping to form a romatic or sexual relationship. But are stonewalled with the girl denying them the oppurtunity.

Yeah but that doesn’t make the friendzone real, it just makes beta cuck orbiters real.

It's perfectly normal to be upset if someone doesn't reciprocate romantic feelings. However it seems the guys who screech and whine about the "friendzone" act like it's the worst thing to ever happen to them. They act like it's a character flaw in the person rejecting them instead of that person just not liking them sexually/romantically. Normal people accept it and move on.

I've been pretty bummed since I was kinda thrown to the curb but eh i use games to deal with it. Not as bummed since I've been playing Granblue Fantasy and actually have friends now via from the game.

Okay, I'm going to go full :autism: trying to answer this one, but you asked, I merely deliver.
Oxford Dictionary defines friend zone as «a situation in which a friendship exists between two people, one of whom has an unreciprocated romantic or sexual interest in the other». So, if we go by this definition friend zone does indeed exist.

Exactly just ask them flat out and simply shrug it off if they say no, makes your balls bigger if you take a rejection well.

Yes.

It's usually a space inhabited by "male feminists" for a while before they realize that being friends with a girl is no way to get pussy, and start to get all #metooesque grabby, instead of dropping the beta-orbiter shit and start being a real man.

Btw, even though friend zone exists, one doesn't have to stick around. Literally the best thing to do whenever you face rejection is to just move on with your life. Nobody is entitled to a relationship with anyone, no matter how much of a nice guy/girl they think they are.

 

[The Man From G.R.I.D.S.]

The friendzone is alt right incel rapist bullshit. Totally unrelated, but its transphobic when a cisgendered lesbian refuses to sleep with a lesbian transwoman.

Trannies arent just incels with minds as devious as their fetishes are deviant.

One thing I've noticed is so many of the "nice guys" who whine about the friendzone never even ask the girl out in the first place.

Only as long as you leave your fedora on.

Great advice that a large number of Hollywood should probably take to heart.

I hope so. A place where everyone is friendly to you? Show me the way!

God invented booze and rom coms to take platonic friendships to hook ups you feel weird about and one party wants to keep going with.

Platonic friendships are very much a thing, sometimes even FWB can be friend zones.

I've been on both sides of it but it's not real if that makes sense.

you need to step back be happy you are a friend. friends are great. be it partner fwb or platonic friend no one should rub it in or tease you romantically/sexually. What we tend to see online is weak men trying to win a girl and being stone walled by the fact she's not even their friend let alone a possible partner. Like most things if you see it online it's an extreme of it.

The friend zone summed up most simply, is when one person is upset the other person has a right to boundaries and doesn't want to respect that deflecting their poor behavior onto the person they have hope for.

tfw you held the door open and didn't even get a quicky for your efforts

To be real for a sec though, the true answer to the friendzone is to approach new friendships or acquaintances with no expectations; and merely let them evolve as they will. I think this is likely the source of angst for many who consider themselves friendzoned; they approached the friendship with the expectation of a relationship.

The friendzone is real and completely normal. If you're not re tar ded, its not even a big deal.

The friendzone is only really a problem for shitty people who have to blame anyyhing but themselves for their unfuckability.
