I've rarely been truly friendzoned. Usually, if a girl shoots me down, I decide to become genuine friends with her (which means I no longer view her sexually), cut her off completely, or just invite her over and make moves on her when I'm bored (lol).

This is actually a good point. They were probably talking to many other guys and were already discarded by some after having sex with them. So then they turned to me.

Men who get placed in the friendzone because they place themselves there.
Whether they are a pansies or not has nothing to do with it.

It's a very annoying pattern that has happened more times than not in my life.

I'm wondering why they don't just give it a shot when I first ask them out, as opposed to all of this game playing.
First of all, you don't get friend zoned. You are accepting someone's friendship. Secondly, relationships aren't set in stone. Feelings change. People change.

I've had friends that asked me out or confessed their feelings for me. I didn't friend zone them. I simply wasn't attracted to them but valued their friendship. Most of them remained my friend. I guess they enjoyed my company. My ex-boyfriend and I started out as friends, dated for 5 years, and have been friends ever since we broke up about 17 years ago. We have always been friends - for awhile we were something more.

Maybe they are deluded and like the attention? Friendzone is hurtful for everyone involved. Even the women hurts her chances of finding a decent man with so many male 'friends' hanging around.

A friend, a real friend, is something that is so important and so sacred that it should not be considered less than a romantic relationship.

But I think that a lot of guys really aren't interested in women unless sex is involved. So to them the friend zone exists as a place they were put instead of them actually realizing that the woman has deluded herself into thinking that this guy actually cares about her as a person.

Honestly, I don't know how women can be with those men if they know that those men only want to have to do with women if they can have sex with them. I mean what does that say about what he really thinks about you? He is literally disrespecting the entire gender.
No one is forcing a man or woman to be in a friendship or friendzone just so someone can change his or her mind to have sex.

People are free to walk away I personally never understood that mentality of men who just be friends with a woman thats not interested in dating them when they want something more.

I've always thought it extremely pointless to be "just friends" with a woman. If you're a straight guy, why bother wasting time with a woman like this? Sure, there are woman I work with that I talk to - that I'm not romantically interested in. However, this is only because we work together & have that in common - plus, I'm stuck there all day

In my free time, there's no way I would waste time with a woman that I wasn't either on my way to sleeping with - or actually sleeping with.

I guess it depends on the person.

I have some female friends that I genuinely consider friends, even though some of them are physically attractive.
