| The Friend Zone "Doesn't Exist" Reason Why. by Nobody: 5:49pm On Aug 23, 2016 |
Before we argue the existence or lack thereof of something, it's important to define the subject at hand. To 'friend zone' a person is to purposely deny them the chance of anythingmore than a platonic friendship, usually because that person lacks the traits or qualities the other desires in a romantic partner. The person who is denied a relationship is said to be in a place known as the 'friend zone'. Reason why it doesn't exist and why this bullshit has to stop What exists is liking a person but not being romantically attracted to him. I've never met a single person who denies that happens. For almost all of us, there are people we like who we're not interested in romantically. It's such a common feeling, even people who have never experienced it (if they exist) surely know many other folks do. So if that's all you mean by "friendzone," you're wrong that people claim it doesn't exist. Do you really think anyone is claiming, "Actually, women are sexually attracted to all men they like as friends. It's physically impossible for a woman to just like a guy as a friend and be uninterested in him romantically. That can never happen"? I promise you, no one is claiming that. Many people just don't use the word "friendzone" to label "not being romantically attracted to a friend." I'm one of them. Describing feelings of friendship without romantic attraction as a "zone" seems silly and misleading to me. It sounds purposeful, as if the woman has chosen to put the guy in some special place or category: "Let's see, Bill ... What should I do with him ... Well, I could marry him, I could date him, I could Bleep his brains out, I could ... Hmm ... Ah! I know! I'm put him in the friendzone!" Usually, that's not what happens. Instead, she's just not attracted to Bill as a romantic partner, but she thinks he's fun to hang out with as a friend. There's also something vaguely accusatory about it, and it's unfair to accusing someone of wrongdoing if they just don't happen to be into you. They can't force themselves to feel attraction they don't feel. But it's easier to say "That bitch put in the friendzone" than "That bitch likes me and wants to be my friend, but she isn't attracted to me sexually or romantically." The other way "friendzone" is misleading is that zones tend to be static. I've had romances with people who were once platonic friends and I've become platonic friends with former lovers. It doesn't always happen, but it can. And I know that in the case of people I'm not into romantically, it doesn't feel at all like I've put then in a zone. A relationship is a two way thing, each person has to feel the same about the other for it to work. There’s chemistry between them, it’s a mutual attraction, not one person pursuing the other. We don't talk about the boyfriendzone, the girlfrienzone, the you'vepissedmyoffzone, the yuckyou'regrosszone, or the youowemyfivedollarszone, so I'm not sure what the point is of referring to liking-someone-platonically as a zone Hope you guys will learn and stop this friendzone nonsense. ©Lalasticala Farano Mynd44 Fynestboi Ishilove |

Em... Op, you may have had good intentions but I don't think your message came across as you intended. In a nutshell, you simply assumed a definition for friendzone and then argued against the definition. That's what is called a strawman argument. I think you missed it when you added "purposely" to your definition of friendzone. |

I love it when I read a very long but sensible post. Thumbs up Op Mr Oahray you can also add your own definition I'm sure Op would appreciate it |

Peacetemi: The friend zone is a situation in which one of two friends wishes to enter into a romantic or sexual relationship, while the other does not. It is generally considered to be an undesirable or dreaded situation by the lovelorn person. Friend zone is just a fancy term for unrequited love in a friendship. One wants romance, the other wants just friendship. |

Well to the lady mizzbouqui, you and i know that the reply with "k" is nonchalant and rude. i'm sure you've better ways to agree with the Op than simply typing k. Op nice write up. Some male folks are good As just friends without any romantic attachment while others turn u on. |
