since this forum has been dead since before I even made an account here, I decided to revive it a little. today we will talk about something called... wait for it - THE FRIENDZONE.
so what is the friendzone?
by my understanding, it is when a guy befriends a girl, either for the sake of a platonic friendship or with the intentions of "getting to know her", and takes interest in her, and gets rejected because the girl thinks of him "more as a friend" or "like a brother", etc., etc. From the Friendzone-ee's point of view, it's because he was too much of a friend to her, which de-sexualized him in her eyes. (and don't get me wrong, there are girls who claim "friendzone" as well)
Personally, I believe that "friendzone" is a term made up by people who are too proud/afraid to admit that the person they were interested in just never found them attractive. i feel like people who claim friendzone feel like they are entitled to a relationship just because they were nice. and that's just not how the real world works.
so yeah, what are your thoughts/opinions on the friendzone? had any experiences where you've felt this way?

We had this same exact thread not even 2 months ago. One miscommunication led to another; name-calling ensued and a shitstorm a'brewed. Rhyme intended.
TL;DR this is a bad idea

Between people that might troll the thread, jokes that might be made, and the mix of people actually debating and people just having fun, this could get messy.

so one time boy and girl talked and they got on well and boy liked girl more than girl like boy so girl said no i don't feel this way lets be friends so boy is sad and boy crey but boy was good to girl and deserves sex but girl say no.
so boy cry and cry until one day girl comes over to boys house to talk about feels so boy talks to girl about feels when all of a sudden the phone rigns so boy answer phone and the voice is "i am girl" so boy tells girl that the person on phone is girl but girls says she is girl
THEN WHO WAS PHONE?
in all serious i think the whole "freind zone" thing is dumb
10/10, would read again

really? i looked it up in the "search" function and there were only 2 instances of it being used.. unless the OP deleted it. No one has to resort to name-calling if we don't let it happen. I don't think that this is one of those topics that people can argue with fiery passion, and if i'm the OP i certainly won't let it lead to that. I'm just interested in people's opinions and stories.

I've read it a bit... it doesn't seem THAT bad. How about we have a better debate this time? if you dislike the term "friendzone" or have used it, explain in detail why and also why you feel it's a legitimate problem or not. in a REAL debate, there is no name-calling.
-
"FRIEND ZONE" is non-existent. It means you got rejected by a girl you're friends with. "
"Oh I could have stuck my p in her v if I wasn't friend zoned"
Well yeah, you could have done that if you weren't rejected.
The friend zone is a stupid concept. Get over it.

Same reason religion discussions were banned? If people are unable to behave like children, then we might as well delete the debate forum. This is a pretty good idea.
I'd also like to helpfully redirect people to this wonderful post: http://www.conjointgaming.com/forum/index.php?topic=176.0
Extract: Absolutely NO spam in this section. I am going to be dead serious about this. Somebody comes in and spams something irrelevant, offensive or generally annoying gets his/her post deleted and a warning promptly sent.

I think in certain special cases the "friendzone" is real. Maybe 95% of the time a guy says friendzone, it's total bs. it really can depend. there was a girl i dated earlier in high school, and after we broke up we've remained friends ever since. it was after a party a few months ago, me and some other guys were talking to her about relationships and about a boy who was into her at the party. and what we heard her say was, "it sucks because none of my close friends are attractive, except for [EagleWulf] but he knows WAY too much about me for it work out again".
i wasn't into her at the time so i wouldn't call it a friendzone, but that's essentially what it was. it CAN happen, but it's extremely rare. most of the time it's because there was never an attraction in the first place. I used to call "friendzone" all the time earlier in high school until i grew up and realized that i am entitled to nothing for being nice.
-
Well TECHNICALLY I did "friend zone" a girl back in middle school because I felt the relationship wouldn't go well (comparing how relationships usually go in middle school) and it'd ruin our friendship. We both had feelings for each other.
When we met back up 3-4 years later in high school, we both agreed the result would have been terrible (we both had major personal issues happening around that time or soon after that I won't speak about).
We are still somewhat decent friends today, we occasionally talk on Skype, and play games together if that one rare co-op game appears that we both want (Her entire family is big into gaming).

The friend zone happens if a girl doesn't like your personality AND/OR doesn't find you attractive sexually. It's a change in attitude and perspective so it doesn't look like you're "rejected." In most cases they don't give a damn if you stay their friend or not.
For instance, if she says "I think dating is stupid" you're friendzoned buddy, like it may be a true statement that dating is stupid in high school but if 2 people like each other they don't care.
I had an odd case where a girl really crushed on me a lot before she actually met me, so she obviously was attracted to me, then we met and she loved my personality but somehow figured "a relationship would get us no where" ... like what ? Girl's mentality - pfft, go figure, cut her off and move on. Easier said than done though

I agree with most of what you said, though I do think if they just got broken up with in a relationship, something along the lines of "I'm not ready for a relationship right now" is a valid response, which actually means you were friendzoned. though if you try and go after a girl who was just broken up with, fuck you, you're a jerk. don't be the rebound guy.

I believe friendzoning exists and that it does not exist, if that makes any sense.
-
The friend-zone is a thing and it isnt a thing....figure it out i give up...

Friend-zoning is a polite way to allow females to reject those whom she does not deem a suitable mate. However, if you listened to reddit, you are the nicest guy in the world, and you look so god damned handsome in that fedora with your matching neckbeard, that she is fucking crazy not to love you. Rejecting happens, and its not how it happens, but how you react to it, like all things in life. If you are willing to degrade the relationship into something like 'Oh man I'm only her friend.' Then your relationship was never going to work in the first place. You should be happy in the fact that she deems you enough of a person to be her friend, that you can still be close to one another in a non physical relationship, which in my opinion is 9/10 better than one based purely on physical interaction.
If you don't try to approach every female as a possible mate, you'll be happier in your life and you won't get 'friendzoned' quite as often. Try to approach women as friend initially, and then build up to that level of possibly taking it further.
A lot of the times guys think they are 'friendzoned' when in reality, they probably hardly knew the woman in question, and just something on a pedestal that they couldn't have, so they justify their rejection in their own mind.
TL;DR: Guys made the friendzone because they can't handle rejection.
-
Why is it only girls that are allowed to friend zone people... This isn't a gender-specific thing, it can happen either way. I've done it myself and you know what? If one person doesn't like the other, that's that. A relationship is a 2 way street and it's gonna hurt them more if you attempt a relationship than if you "friend-zone" them. Shit happens.
Friend-zoning in my eyes is just a form of rejection. It isn't an actual thing on it's own, it's just part of the rejection spectrum. No one means to friend-zone anyone. It's the victim that labels themselves friend-zoned.

yeah pretty much has a point here.. reason girl put guys in friend zone:
1) not attracted (physically) but persona is okey = FRIEND ZONE
2) males intentions aren't clear, so she thinks nothing of it= FRIENDS ZONE
3) its a form of letting themselves feel good about not wanting to date you guys
Notes:
* a girl will think the minute she sees you or meets you whether she would date you, the minute she says no to herself = FRIEND ZONE! (its just a nice way of not feeling guilty for not dating you, even tho you have a good persona)
* to have a chance of being friend zones, in my opinion be a bit pervy. she'll know you have some sexual interest and wont completely throw you out into the fried zone. (but don't over do it, come off too strong of a pervet you'll scare her away and dump you on the creepers to stay away list, which is alot worse)
* we are complicated/evil creatures Meme3 if she doesn't give you the time of day .. move le fudge on!

Already made a long winded post about how I feel about this term, not gonna do so again. In short, it's a dumb and entitled concept and it's a silly sounding word to boot.

To avoid getting friend zoned all you have to do is hide in a corner during most social gatherings, avoid eye contact, and be awkward. That's how I do it. =|

Welp, this is just same-old same-old, now. Close thread?

it's okay to state your opinion on something, but explain WHY you feel that way... you know, because this is a debate
-
Because sad and lonely people feel the need to express the fact that they are indeed stuck in this "friendzone" instead of going outside and talking to girls.... Also, its fucking annoying how much idiots use it to justify their actions.
-
Actually now that I think back when I was semi-dating a chick she majorly friendzoned this one friend of hers. He liked her quite a bit but she didn't really get all of his advances and when she did she just ignored them or something along those lines. This was years ago, they are dating now though.
I do believe "friendzoning" exists but it's wayyyyyyy overused and probably doesn't even apply to a majority of the situations it's described for.
-
Never been friendzoned! Problem? parrot

If being in the friend zone, aka being a girls friend is a fucking problem to you; maybe you shouldn't talk to women.
I can't believe this is even a thread, and has been before. H8. I hope everyone who frequents the term is forever alone.

First off, I love you Pillz.
Secondly
I'd like once again repeat that "Deadzone" is an actual place.
Bananas has left Death and I there several times.
It's that point where a man/woman no longer sees you as a friend, only a distraction for Zombies. This can usually be caused by a lack of cooperation or an overabundance of Deo-bombs.

Pillz, thank you for being a beacon of hope. You really made my day with that.
Seriously, if one can't value friendship, they shouldn't be allowed to talk to others.

Oh, did the OP start a thread to have a sensible discussion on something he's interested in? Who cares?
And CG fails again to keep its shit together in a single thread, because fuck forum rules. Bravo.
