Happens for numerous reasons...fear of ruining a good blossoming friendship, lack of chemistry as already stated, not in the right mental state for a relationship etc. Its not a women thing either. Its just that some people are very particular about what they are looking for in a person for a relationship and if that person doesnt seem capable of producing that "spark or quality" that is needed, then nothing against them, but staying friends is the next best thing.
So - this is what you said in one of your other posts -

My new rule is to avoid dating women and avoid forming friendships with physically attractive women. I doubt I’ll be able to be romantically attracted to unattractive women.
So - I'm kind of confused why you are asking why women "friend zone" guys when it sounds like you are actively trying to do the same thing to women...
And as far as this "friend zone" thing goes - it's not a REAL zone. Some friends do fall in love. It has happened before and it will happen again. The thing is - you can't make someone fall in love with you. There are men that I thought were attractive, smart, nice, funny - but I simply didn't feel any romantic feelings for them. I'm sure there are men that have felt this way about me before, too. The reason love is so amazing and special is, in part, because it isn't commonplace and everyday. Falling in love with someone is rare - not so rare that only a few people experience it but rare enough that most people only experience it a few times.
I've been wondering why women friend-zone men. Is it only because the guy is not attractive enough?
If you guys can be close friends then it shouldn't be his personality that's the problem... so it must be the looks.
It could be looks, personality or something else. I wouldn't friend zone someone just b/c of their looks b/c that doesn't matter to me that much but I do look for different traits in a partner than I would in a friend. I've had plenty of friends who I wouldn't want to get into a serious relationship because of their religion, goals for the future or their poor money management skills. In that case, it's better to just stay friends rather than date knowing it won't go anywhere and end up losing a friend.
And you want to be friends with somebody with no personality because...?
That was my first thought as well!
