And being anal over the use of the word for woman(Female) in a simple sentence such as that when it DOES NOT does not include a swear word will guarantee friendzoning too. Someone that picky and hypersensitive would be exhausting.JMO of course.

Just think of what you could have done or the girls you could have talked to in the time you wasted on a girl who doesn't really care for you?


Another way to beat the friendzone is to not accept it when you get friendzoned. Say you make a move on a girl, she says lets be friends. Instead of accepting that and hoping she changes her mind, just tell her no and that you would rather not be friends. Tell her you don't make friends with females you are attracted to. You might think that would hurt your chances but I would bet you are much likelier to get a relationship out of that than by being her emotional tampon in the friendzone. After rejecting her, go after other women and make sure she gets wind of you hitting on other woman. You would be surprised at how many women are all of a sudden attracted to a man when she sees him with other women.
+ 1. very good advice. All men should listen to this advice.

That's all fine and dandy but its tough when you meet someone you are attracted to and I don't mean, "I like her" like I did all the other women I've met. I genuinely love her and for me to get mixed signals and not be able to tell her how I feel sucks BIG TIME!

Plus, I HIGHLY doubt I will meet a woman like her (or of her caliber) ever in my lifetime on this planet...

When I tell a man I see him as a friend, if he natters on as you suggest, he's on his own. Attempted manipulation is never attractive in my book.

Really. A man moves on. He doesn't stick around to play little boy mental games.

It's more than that.

This might be a man that has spent hundreds of hours with a woman and truly appreciates her qualities as a person, which is rare to find in a friend, much less a romantic prospect. This world is all about finding physically attractive people we want to sleep with and discarding all of the rest?

It's a grey area for sure.

I can say for myself that all of the women that caused me true pain by friendzoning me, they were TRULY friends. And I had to consider hard whether keeping them as such would be worth it.

To me, putting yourself above the trite conventions of the dating world and seeing people as people and not just prospects you want to mate with makes you a REAL man.

Another possible tactic is to text her a photo of your throbbing man sausage (Fully deployed, mind you) along with the caption, "A little bit of what you're missing." Once she see it in all its tumescent glory, especially with advantageous lighting, she'll change her tune. Works every single time.

I think I heard a story about some guy trying this to get a girl in bed with him. However he didn't think he was large enough so he tried to use the picture of some other guy's wood. It would of worked but the guy was a light skinned latino dude and the picture he sent was of a dark skinned black dude's johnson. Well it goes without saying that chaos and confusion ensued between this guy and the girl he was trying to hook up with. Ultimately the girl asked the following questions:

"Why are you sending me pictures of some black guy's c0(k?!!!"

"What are you trying to tell me?"

"You play for the other team don't you?, wow and all this time I thought you were into me. Well now it's easier for us to be friends now that I know you are not nor were you ever attracted to me."








P.S. This may or may not be a true story.

That actually doesn't even remotely work. But if woman sends guy picture of her vayjay....boom. Friendzone over.

How about just accepting that the hot girl you want also has a lot of other guys begging her for sex and moving on?

The key to never being in the friendzone is never giving a woman you're interested in, the decision to put you in the friendzone. The only girls I'm in the friendzone with are girls I'm great friends with and I chose to be in that zone. There are other girls I know that I'm friends with but I'm still not in the friendzone.
