Re: Let's talk about...The Dreaded Friend Zone
I think a lot of it comes from the media today, and the fact that with stations like Nick and Disney, kids have 24 hour access to shows that depict females as being slick and dominant and dudes having to tolerate their foolishness, which contributes to the hoe-ish qualities being demonstrated by today's young dudes. They think that kinda stuff is the norm because that's presented to them on TV. Of course, part and parcel of that is lazy parenting, which we have a LOT of today, failure in getting these kids to separate reality from fiction. I handled that quick when my oldest son was like 7 or 8, and he came sideways out his mouth to my wife. I yoked him up, put the fear of God in him, and I told him "Yeah, it didn't work out like this for Zack and Cody, did it... They get to continue to act dumb. You, on the other hand, just got your booty split." Parents need to do a better job of teaching their kids acceptable standards and general comportment, and not let the people at Disney and Viacom dictate what it is. Maybe I'm turning into my pops... "back in my day...." Who knows. *shrugs*

It would have been funny if your son gave a smart reply, saying but my butt already has a split in it, it is called the butt crack.Comment

LOL, trust me, him giving me ANY sort of smart reply would have yielded results that would have been most catastrophic and unpleasant. The type that leave you crying in your therapist's office as you flash back to earlier times.Comment

Friend zones aren't permanent, I've been in a few of those and always ending hitting again after a while....Comment

Re: Let's talk about...The Dreaded Friend Zone
Agreed (with respect to bigeastbumrush because I do agree that we all start at the bottom).
I didn't really go after the girl. I thought me being around was enough. It isn't. (I'm way past that stage).
Girl do want a nice guy. But, they also want a guy that's aggressive. Most "nice" guys just aren't aggressive and it's not that they are getting rejected by the girl, but the girl never even knew they were interested.
At times we forget how different men and women are. We expect the woman to do the things we do (or are expected to do). Both sides have their own expectations and women, for the most part, expect that a man will ask them out. I think at times the "nice" guys want the girl to make it obvious she's interested by doing whatever that particular guy feels means attraction.
Girl won't do that. They never do that. And if they do, chances are your boys will think she's just an easy girl.
Gotta be aggressive. Gotta ask the girl out and once you get her out, you have to ask her out again. She won't ask in the beginning stages.
And once you know that, you use that to your advantage. Look at THM's advice. She doesn't wanna hang? Oh well, move on. There are too many women."It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied. And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace

Re: Let's talk about...The Dreaded Friend Zone
I've done it to girls. They liked me, I knew it, and just hung out with them as friends. I just wasn't attracted to them and I even had one of the girls spend the night with me...
ON THE COUCH lol
She then sent me a text like "it's lonely out here" and I just ignored it lol. I don't remember if I saw her the next morning if she just let herself out...SOS Madden League (PS4) | League Archives

Re: Let's talk about...The Dreaded Friend Zone
I friend zoned many chicks.......Sure they were upset for few minutes, but they got the hell over it and I'm still friends with them to this day. Women foolishly think what works for one woman will work for them. That isn't always the case.

Re: Let's talk about...The Dreaded Friend Zone
I'm definitely still friends with girls that I know are interested in me. I don't know if I would say I friend zoned them. It's not like they made serious attempts but drunk stuff and being a bit too much up in my grill.
If anything it's taught me what I did wrong when I was naive about approaching a woman. Just because you're around doesn't mean she's going to notice.
And while I do notice these friends showing interest, I'm not going to give them anything in return. But we still hang out when the opportunity arises."It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied.

Re: Let's talk about...The Dreaded Friend Zone
Ive friendzoned two girls (that I know of). One Im close friends with today. The other got too insane and refused to accept what happened.
If I have friendzoned any others than I've been clueless about it. Does it count as being friendzoned before you are actually rejected? Like if you are friends with a chick and neither one ever liked the other is it a mutual friendzoning? lmao
And lol @ Legendary Ride.Comment
