The Friend Zone is a very real thing. If a person is interested in someone they don't have a big window of opportunity to do something about it. I'm not sure what the magic number is, but I do think this is very real.

Yes, I believe in it. It's an awful place...both to put people in...and to be put in. I would honestly say that easily 25% of the disappointments and gripes in the dating world have to do with a) one person being attracted, and b) the other person only interested in being a friend.

No. Because the "friend zone" is just an idea used to keep less attractive guys out of romantic relationships so that the attractive guys could get all the ladies they want.

The friend zone is like the penalty box of dating, when your only crime is not being buff and attractive.

But its foolish to watch somebody else date and live their life while you are pinning over somebody who don't want you. I have never been in a situation like that. I dont really make male friends and the few I did have there was nothing they could have done to make me want them because I wasn't interested in them romantically. so they would have waited their whole lives and still never won me over if they were interested in me
No... I mean I F*ck many of my female friends. Their better in everyway. Because my female friends are not sluts/ bussdowns/ runners. I know their sex history, no STD worries, know what they like, they feel completely comfortable and not pressured, ect. I make friends with many females for that reason alone, I screen them, make sure their safe and then go for it. That's why I don't believe in that "out of my league sh*t either". Im not a ******* or anything but I have had many experiences to the point where I don't believe in depressing excuses of why guys can't hit (have sex with) an attractive female.

Of course the friend zone exists. It's just easier to maneuver if you're attractive. lol

Someone can also be attractive and not be someone's type.

Ok even if the dude is not "attractive". He can show her that he is not like other guys. That probably works more than attractiveness imo.

Default Do You Believe In The "Friend Zone"???

Women obviously believe in it. How else can they get the heavy dirty work done?

Two of my friends got married earlier this year. They were best friends for years. Each dated other people, but they still saw each other at races, parties, etc.

Yes. Women will settle when the clock is running out.

Oh of course, personality can most certainly trump looks. It's all a matter of connecting.
