Friend-zoned is a stupid expression. What's funny is that it is usually the guy who starts the friend-zoning by pretending to be a friend when he has other intentions. When it doesn't work then he blames the girl for fz'ing him!
Exactly. Their so-called "friendship" is all a pretense that goes *poof* the second they learn there won't be any sex involved.
From my experience the only woman MOST guys could be true friends is some who is definitely not high maintenance and acts more manly then woman.
This woman never dressed like a woman at all dressed like a man no make up no girly nothing woman.
Played Video Games
Talked man stuff like boxing, servers, computers, transformers, dragon ball z, has bulked up muscles kinda,
Football season, Beer night, Metalworking, construction, and all other man stuff......
I met someone like this and she was the most easiest person I could talk to with no sexual intentions
Yet when the high maintenance woman comes then some of the guys have trouble talking?
Why the hell does that happen?
I just feel like we are talking about some seriously shallow individuals. I mean, men who can't be friends with a woman because why would they waste time if they cannot get sex, and women who have nothing more interesting going on than the shade of their lipstick? Well, yeah I guess. Whatever it is those people are about. No thanks.
Maybe that's why I have loads of male friends and no problems with being chased...I've been called attractive in a nerdy brunette with glasses librarian kind of way, but I don't go out of my way to be a sex object. I wear pants more than skirts, and combat boots more than heels. I'm not out to showcase my physical assets, most of the time. I'm not in it to draw men's eyes, except insofar as I hope they notice the band name on my shirt or my hat, so we can have a conversation about concerts! Hey, I play D&D, build computers, read and watch sci fi...I love being a geek. But my guy friends aren't all socially inept nerdy types, some of those guys (like this one bisexual photographer I know, omg) are practically swimming in naughty encounters, doesn't mean they're gonna get one with me!
Why would they waste their time, if they KNOW (and believe me, they KNOW) that they're not gonna get any?
Maybe because I'm funny, understanding, have insightful things to say to them, willing to be the DD when they've had too much to drink? Because I know the band? I dunno. But we have great times.
I'm left thinking that those who have this problem just don't have enough going on in life, if it's always gotta be about sex. Sounds pretty boring really. Maybe ya need a hobby or something.
I don't cultivate friendships with any women. Usually, they are just into you for something they might be able to help you with. People in general are users. Men typically don't do this. They don't want to be your friend so that they can help you move, or take them someplace. Women are very social and don't tend to like to do things all by themselves. She could just be interested in you for someone to go to a movie with or whatever.
If a woman really was a friend, I would expect that she would do some of the stuff I like or help me out with a problem, and there would be no expectation that I would pay anything for her. That's a friend. I don't know too many guys with these kinds of female friends.

I have a friend who is in a band and I help him with his makeup. I go watch him play and my boyfriend goes to and we have a rocking good time. Is that a friend? He invited me to go to Las Vegas with him, but, I didn't have the money for the plane ticket. He is generous, but, only to a point
To expect a man to "turn off" his sex drive would be like telling you to stop eating. It is an uncontrollable "urge" which overpowers everything else!
Women are different from men. Don't expect a man to be able to do what you can do.
Note: The sex drive in *some* older men goes down with age. So try finding "friends" at your local senior center. Might have more success.
I don't know dude. I was just walking down the magazine aisle at Walgreen's and seen this 75-80 year old man hungrily drooling while paging thru a Cosmo magazine. So old men still have a sex drive. They just can't drive a stick anymore
I admit to discriminating, but I don't care for the rich. Too condescending.
I'd rather befriend/date a humble guy that can relate to me. It's okay to have a nice job and all that.
I obviously don't mind dude having money but it's the attitude that's more important to me.
The same reason its hard for some women to be just FRIENDS with an attractive man??
