The Friend Zone

"The friend zone (or friendship zone) is a popular psychology concept found in many texts geared towards a male audience about "dating advice." It refers to the situation where the female has begun to view a male as a friend only and not a potential suitor, a psychological classification supposedly exceptionally difficult to undo." - Wikipedia

Let me start by saying that falling into the "friend zone" can happen to any man. It happens to the best of us; believe me. I can admit that I was a member once or twice in my life. What are some signs that your in the "friend zone"?

  1. She openly tells you about guys she dates or would like to date.
  2. She calls you at any possible time (Usually for a favor)
  3. You've seen her naked once or twice but that didn't lead to anything
  4. She says you remind her of her brother
  5. She invites you to go shopping with her (She needs a guy's opinion on what to wear)
Being in the "friend zone" isn't exactly a bad thing if you want to be there. There are circumstances that I would encourage you to be in that "friend zone".

  1. You're in a relationship
  2. You're Gay
Other than that I don't understand why any single man would want to comfortably be in the "friend zone". Trying to be platonic friends is almost impossible if one party is somewhat attracted to the other. Overtime that attraction won't do anything but blossom if their friendship goes well. Here are some reasons you're in the "friend zone".

  1. You're Mr.Nice Guy - Nowadays women aren't use to a man being genuinely nice to them so when they get that guy, they'll keep him around. So he can tell her what she wants to hear, do favors for her, comfort her on nights she feels lonely and so forth.
  2. Pockets Is Lacking - The #1 reason a woman would have sex with a man is because of his money. Let them bullshit you and say its not true but how often dude you see a bum with a woman? A millionaire with a Playboy Bunny? Exactly! Women get turned on when a man displays himself as a good provider.
  3. Just Not That Attractive - Women are more into the aesthetics of things; pretty much everything; including men. She wants to show you off to her friends, family and co-worker. When you guys go out your her "accessory" you complement her. So don't look "good" around her look "great".
  4. Always Available - The biggest red flag to a woman to throw you in the "friend zone" is when you're always available, Time-wise and relationship-wise. If she knows she can call you anytime of day to invite you over for blockbuster night and you show up 30 minutes flat with movies and popcorn you're asking to be in the "friend zone". Tell her you're busy climbing Mt.Everest or something, tell her you can't you got a date tonight. Women hate when they can't have something they want but she'll understand that your time valuable when she calls on you. Most importantly she knows exactly what you prefer than being in the "friend zone" with her.
With that said I'm done for now......
