Friendzone

Not if he got over his feelings.

Relevant?

He WAS friendzoned, he just refused to go to the friendzone and stopped being friends with the person/people.

Depending on the situation, kinda a dick move imo. If you like someone enough to date them then you’d probably like them enough to be friends (I think there are exceptions, but most exceptions are because you never actually liked the girl anyway). Seems to me like refusing to be friends because of getting rejected makes the sore loser…the best thing to do is get over your feelings and stay friends. But I guess that’s better than not getting over your feelings and staying friends.

Yeah, you’d think that if you got over your feelings of wanting a relationship, you’d still wanna be friends. Unless you developed your feelings as a spur if the moment action made in desperation. In which case, you didn’t get friendzoned, you simply got denied.

Still friends.

Misinterpreted your post then. In that case, welcome to the friendzone!

Afterthough: which brings up the debate, can the friendzone exist still after you’ve lost interest in the girl? Because she still feels the same way about you, that if you were to ask her out again, she’d once again say lets stay friends. (oh, and, undeniably, a friendzone is a place a girl puts a guy, the only question is, should the guy have been expected to do things differently to avoid the friendzone)

Yeah. Douchebags don’t get friend zoned. They either get the girl or get rejected for a bigger douche. So, be a dick, you’ll stay out of the friendzone. That’s how you do it differently.

On the other hand, I literally can’t be a dick to a girl. I hate douches.

I’m starting to think life as a assexual would probably be better
Really starting to hate both sexes even more

Stop blaming women for preferring charismatic musclebinders over suck-ups and wet noodles like you guys

Nobody is entitled to love or even sex so if you aren’t willing to earn it you may as well grab your knife and take it from someone and pray you don’t end up in prison

Nice Guys finish last, mother fuckers

Reposting from first page for posterity.

Also, this comic is pretty spot-on. It took me a while before I realized this is how I was coming off.

You don’t have to pursue women if you don’t want to. Your sexual orientation is not an imperative.

The only problem with ‘nice guys finish last’ is that you can totally be assertive and nice at the same time. I think it’d be more like ‘simpering fucknuts with incompetence issues finish last’. :3

What a silly generalization. I fit the “Nice guy always getting friendzoned” stereotype, but the reason, as far as I can tell, had nothing to do with being nice or being an ass.

I found that I didn’t like any of the girls I knew all that much during highschool. By senior/junior year however I just got sick of being single and went for girls I didn’t like anyway because I wanted a relationship. I got friend zoned several times this way. I think I discovered several problems. First, the obvious one. I didn’t actually like the girls all that much. I just thought of them as friends and wanted to date them because I wanted a relationship. They may or may not have caught on to that.

But more importantly, since all these people were in my same tightly knit social group, they all knew about my respective attempts. Before I knew it, I had the reputation amongst my friends, female and male, that I was just a horndog. Because all this time they saw me jumping from “crush” to “crush” and they assumed I was just trying to get laid, when really I was just trying to get a relationship (both are bad, but at least the second doesn’t make me as shallow). I’d talk to guy friends and we’d be discussing girls and they’d be shocked when I said something about my desires being other than purely sexual They’d tell me “I didn’t think you’d say that”. Took me a while to figure it out. And that was probably one of the biggest problems. Think about how your advances come off to the other person.

Well, just gave out part of my personal life on the internet. How fucked/trolled am I?
Tl;dr me trying to figure out how I’ve fucked up with girls while TRYING not to be a whiny bitch about it

Another bit of wisdom from HBI. I wish I’d read this site more carefully years ago.

What would be the terminology for a general apathy to being in a relationship and laziness to be in / find one as well as a content for the status quo?

It depends on whether or not you actually have a sexuality. People who have no sex drive at all, and don’t get attracted to people ever, could safely be considered “asexual.” (Hence the comment about wishing to be asexual by someone earlier in this thread.)

If you do have a sex drive but you’re apathetic and lazy about being in one, and being comfortable with being single, then I’d say you’re “a hell of a lot better off than a lot of people in this thread.”

I find women sexually attractive. Maybe I just have a weak sex drive.

Yeah, but at least I wouldn’t feel bad about it and wouldn’t need to go after them because of sex drives

Try masturbation if you want to get rid of your sex drive.

Doesn’t stop me feeling attracted and believe I’m a master in suffocating feelings (even if masturbation does help a lot, lol)
