Wow! Sometimes I'm so full of s*** I almost believe it myself!!
I'm not gonna argue about that at all ^^ , but you're speaking the truth nevertheless. I think we women have more pride. It's rare to see a woman drooling over some guy and hanging around being his "friend.

Probably the same thing that make you put someone in the Friend Zone.

You can't manufacture attraction at will.

Not really. Most women know, if a guys is gonna get laid. Now, while on the date you begin to show signs of being a jerk, then the night is over.

Ladies, have you ever been on a date and the conversation has taken a wrong turn. He's attractive, so you may give him more time to stop. To yourself, you stop. Damn, please stop now. If you ... That did it. Nope, none for you.

Friend zone.

Personally I believe women know within the first few minutes if not seconds whether she wants to sleep with a man. Those she does gets put in the "I'm gonna seduce them then sleep with them pile" whereas those whom she has no interest in gets put in the "I'm gonna seduce them then NOT sleep with them pile".

Women want men to want them whether or not they want those men. I think they have this overwhelming need to compete with each other to see who is the most sexually desirable. The more men who want them the more their egos and identities get stroked.

Thank gawd I married a tomboy who grew up thinking she doesn't look hot when she does. Those are the best of both worlds, you get the honest straight-talking (that you do from a fellow man) but in an uber-woman's body. I'm one lucky SOB. =P

I did have one warm body who was very likely to get lucky had he not opened his mouth! At all!

yep Sierra is right, it's unescapable. It's like the event horizon of a black hole... once you're past it, there's no getting out, you're stretched into spaghetti and obliterated.

Sierra, she's told me now (since I'm her friend ) that she's simply not ready to date anybody, since some guy tried making moves on her.

i'd say something here like "brb, gonna throw back a few shots" but there's nothing in this house :|

That must be a quality I have, I've never been a jerk to my dates.

There's always conversation, but, typically I try to make it light-hearted, or have lots of humor in them. I'll admit though, that sometimes I don't know when I should stop talking, and I typically catch myself when the woman looks like she's getting bored. I think that's the worst thing that could happen for me, a woman who gets bored on my date.

The term seems to only confuse you.
Ah....no. It doesn't confuse me, because I understand that it's a pointless term. What's the point? If you no longer have feelings for someone and now just wish to remain friends....well...umm....that means you no longer have feelings for them...and you want to be friends. Geez. It's not rocket science.

A lot of guys fail to understand this-probably thinking too highly of themselves-and make up terms like the friendzone to create fanciful reasons why the women doesn't want him (i.e. because he's too good friends with her) in order to make him feel better about himself instead of addressing the real answer which is just that she's not that into you. Suck it up and enjoy a platonic relationship with her or move on. Better yourself so you can attract more mates. And don't listen to bs advice by a bunch of ignorants suggesting you ought never to be friends with a women because then you'll be stuck in the "friend zone."
You got it.
