The Friendzone

As you may know by now, this is a very dark and gloomy place for so many people both guys and girls, although, this somewhat sad place is mostly visited by men rather than women.

The thing guys need to understand is that when a women friendzones you, it’s basically a sort of lie. When a guy friendzones a girl, it's as if they are breaking up for good.
But when the roles are reversed it's totally okay. Sexist to say the least, but that's the world we live in.

What women do is they act like they don't really know what's going on in terms of how you feel towards them, but it's just their way of telling their less attractive male friends to fuck off in a way that's not as hurtful.
Unless she's thirsty, of course.

Sometimes you've got to recognize that she's just not into you bro, and she doesn't want to be a bitch about the situation.
If ever you're trapped in a situation like this, there is almost no hope for you.
Please guys, don't put girls in a situation where they can play the pity card on you.
It's so sad.
Just move the fuck on, that's all.

Although, guys have waited for years and they have made it out of the friendzone, so maybe I should take that back because it looks like there may be some hope for you.
But the key word in that situation is 'patience'.
The question is, are you willing to wait 5 - 10 years?
"Fuck no!"- I hope that was your answer.

Some of you may think you are stuck in the friendzone, (note how I said some of you), when you're actually not.
Truth is, you're actually holding pocket aces, and you're folding before the flop.
In Poker terminology this means that basically she's waiting for you to make the first move, you scared little fucker, and you are the one putting yourself in the friendzone by backing down too easily.

To all the heart-broken girls stuck in the friendzone (and trust me, the friendzone does break hearts), when you least expect it, something great will happen for you, out of pure faith in yourself firstly, and pure belief in your happiness, it will happen.

Generally, the majority of guys do not have platonic friendships with the other sex. You might be friends, get along well together and have no awkward moments or intentions of taking it further, BUT there was definitely one moment in the friendship when he thought: “I'd actually fuck her”.

Obviously there are exceptions to the rule.
With guys, our intention isn't to fall for someone we cannot have, but we do anyways, which is why this is one of the major contributing factors to many friendzone cases.
It's natural, it's in our nature (Blurred Lines, anyone?) to want something we cannot have.
You would think it's harmless but this does have its repercussions.

Too many guys go around talking shit about the girls to other guys.
We all know that they are talking shit.
Chances are they got dealt the friendship card, and now they're trying to act tough about it.
Please don't talk shit about girls whether you've been with them or not.
Don't be THAT guy.

Guys find themselves in the friendzone because they aren't able to read girls.
They can't read her eyes; her body language; and guys can't make decisions.
You cannot be afraid of taking control.
Most women like it when you take control.
In this day and age when women are so used to having to take care of themselves and everyone else, they just want you to step up and do the work for once.

Too many men are also afraid of rejection.
If you're scared of rejection, you may never move out of the friendzone unfortunately.
Just like in Poker, you can't win unless you play.
All you have to do is learn to bluff.
If you're afraid to bruise that little ego of yours, don't come onto her.
It's that simple.

You'll be surprised to hear that being put in the friendzone is actually worse for women than it is for men.
I say that women feel it worse because the one feeling women hate is feeling desperate.
I am generalizing here when I say this, but girls tend to be too insecure about themselves, and a girl doesn't want to feel like she's trying too hard to make someone like her when that person is not really interested.
Going out there on a limb and getting the friendship card? Ouch.
Something as simple as that can affect her self-esteem for years to come, whereas guys will generally just bounce back and move on to the next one.
That is why I say that as males, we deal better with being put in the friendzone.
We learn to roll with the punches and don't let something like this phase us too much.

Girls have a way of knowing when you're into them, but they'll keep you guessing for long periods of time, never letting you know whether you stand a chance with them or not.
This is why men are easier to read than women.
Women are the masters of hiding what they feel, confusing the hell out of some guys, but it's only because they are scared of being emotionally naked in front of a guy and then having him reject her.

You as the guy need to judge where you stand with your 'friend'.
You best up your skills and learn to be more accurate, but that comes with time.
One can never truly know what goes on in the mind of a woman.
You just need to feel it; sense what she feels.
One thing is for sure though, her eyes can't lie.

In some cases it's pretty much a lost cause.
You're fighting a losing battle, and you just need to let go.
In other cases I can understand that it may be too late because you are already in too deep.
"You're so deep in the friendzone that you've already met her boyfriend's parents".
Lol, whatever the case may be, you need to evaluate and execute your actions appropriately.
Even though your romantic advances could backfire on you, as I've said before: "There is no love without tragedy", somehow all roads lead to love once again, ladies and gentlemen.
It's all connected.
Just like how you and I are somehow connected.

Maybe you will get over what you once thought you felt for that person.
Maybe you can learn to just be friends with them.
I'd just like to point out though that psychology claims if two past lovers can remain friends, it’s either they are still in love, or never were.

But like myself and Tom Ford would say: "Baby, we've got enough friends".
