    Also, no reasonable employer would treat a job candidate like this. They would just dismiss them and both sides would go on with life.

    So why does this dynamic play out like this in male-female social interactions?

  • whyyyyyy do women do this? Seriously.

    Just so you know, Guys do the friend zone thing to girls too. I've been there for the majority of my life.
  • I get kinda irked about guys who ***** about being friendzoned. Women are not machines you put kindness into until sex falls out. Sometimes they just don't feel any chemistry with you, so get over it. Besides, what's wrong with having more friends? :huh:

    Agreed.

    Basically, they're approaching us dishonestly to be "friends" with an ulterior motive already in mind and then they get mad because we...just want to be friends?

    How about not being entitled? How about mustering up some courage to just be straight about what you're trying to get from us? Honesty instead of manipulation. Then think of how many perfectly nice women YOU have rejected in the past.

    Besides, a lot of the men I know who complain about this phenomenon are NOT nice guys. They're mad because a chick who is out of their league didn't want to have sex with them. Period, end of story. Not exactly a "nice guy" mindset.

    I love you two. Guys are complaining because the woman they;re pretending to be friends with and who they would rather try to manipulate into sleeping with them rather than being upfront and asking them out (and then accepting either as yes or a no as FINAL) are not 'nice guys' who've been 'friendzoned', they're creepy.

    I went to a tech Uni, so most of my friends are men.

    If they don't want to be "friendzoned", they should ask me out rather than pretending to want to be friends.
    Simple as that. Women can't magically detect whether you want to be friends or dating, you know. Tell us.

    Just a warning to the guys about friend zoning a girl and getting benefits. Don't do it if you can tell she wants more, you'll break her heart eventually. I've done this more than once. Then again, I married a girl from my friend zone.
