      Currently I don't have any options in the Friendzone, but this advice terrifies me. I am pretty comfortable with the way I live my life, but women would think im boring. I don't think I would be able to keep up with those changes; eventually it would look like I'm trying to be something I'm not and it all falls apart.
      Any Suggestions? (Maybe you'll see this reply, who knows.)

      @@ticiat5832 The reason people are friend zoned is because there isn’t mutual genuine desire. The chance this develops later is so small it’s not worth a discussion.
      What usually happens if someone is pulled from the friend zone rubbish bin is they are said to be “settled for”, except that’s a rationalization to cover up the lie…. “settling” means being content with less than you wanted previously. It doesn’t mean not being content and taking something from someone under false pretenses, making them believe things that aren’t true so you can benefit while you also make them suffer as you act out because I you still think you “can do better”.
      Almost no one successfully achieves contentment in this scenario. People far more often than not pick people then stay with them for a few minutes up to about 5 years for whatever selfish reasons before they can’t stand their own lying anymore and they leave.
      And, of course, don’t forget, it’s all the other persons fault as well.

      It’s just some people know more than others. 1- I’ve been in the game for over 30 years, married, ltrs, strs, I’ve been SAed multiple times…
      2- My experiences also match those of hundreds of other men I’ve talked to over decades.
      3- Our experiences also match the literature/studies.
      The plain fact is when there isn’t genuine desire, ie desire sufficient to keep someone out of the FZ, if people ignore that fact then claim to “settle” but really they’re pulling a con, that is a terrible thing to do to someone else.
      How dare anyone do that.
      And that’s the majority of what’s going on. People are running cons on each other. And you reap what you sow.
      So you may take my words as a slight but I wish you wouldn’t, at least until after you think on it. If you want someone and they don’t want you, why would you not move on? Im not saying it’s easy. I’ve been in that situation too. I was with a woman for years who wouldn’t commit and it was very hard for me to cut ties because we were friends for decades and she had that raw genuine desire for me, but still… she wouldn’t… 🤷‍♂️
      I’m just pointing out they don’t want it. So don’t let them take advantage of you because they know you want them more than they want you. Without genuine desire the situation is ripe for fraud and esuba.

      Real winners also don't hang around at the start of a race hoping that one day they might be winners... start the race, but if the finish line keeps moving further and further away go and enter another race where the finish line is set and you know you can finish it.
      What I'm saying is if a woman shows no interest in you move on, if she doesnt flirt back or agree to any date plans don't hang around. Don't think that talking to her for weeks means anything, it doesnt. I've slept with women I met on the first date, not all women are like that but if theres nothing happening and things arent moving forward in the first week or so chances are either that A) She's using you for your attention or B) She's just wants another male orbiter. Don't be an orbiter, it will never work in your favor.

    The best way to get out of the friend zone is to avoid it completely. You do this by not crushing on people, period. It’s one thing to have an interest in somebody, but interest doesn’t become a crush until you make the choice to start engaging in fantasies about them. Once you have taken this deadly step you have handed them all the power in the relationship, which is something that nobody wants.

    One step I would add to this list: BE LESS AVAILABLE. If you're friends and making yourself available to see them all the time, this doesn't allow the other person to miss you and feel the feelings of not having you around. I also found that setting up dates with other women (thus naturally making you less available) can also cause a "friend" to re-evaluate how she feels about you in a romantic sense.

      The fact is, men get "friendzoned" a lot more often than women. (Defined as the object of an individual's romantic desire "only accepting a platonic friendship"). The truth is, the more desirable a woman is (i.e, pretty and young) the more attention she gets from men (both in number and perceived 'quality'); while for women, there are a lot fewer of "desirable" men (i.e. tall, financially stable [at least], handsome, and experienced). "Desirable" men and women are pursued in great numbers by the opposite sex, but "desirable" men and women are on the opposite in numbers.
      Women that the largest percentage of men would regard as attractive are about 50% or so of the female population; while men that would be so regarded constitute about 15-20% of the male population. Especially at younger ages, it's a truth that 80% of women are competing for 20% of men, which amply demonstrates that young men especially get friendzoned (a popular woman can only handle so many guys for "relationships"), leaving the other 80% of men (who do make an effort to "get" one of those more desirable women) apt to be friendzoned by one of those desirable women, and he accepts it because he has fewer options.
      Bottom line, there are a lot more men being essentially invisible (as far as romantically) to most women than the other way around. Addressing your point, while a woman trying this on a really desirable man will only succeed if she herself fits as desirable (because he has other options that are just as or even more desirable), this works more often on some desirable women by lukewarm desirable men because those women are finding it difficult with the increased competition for men who have options.
      Hopefully, my professorial gobbledygook wasn't too confusing, but women (especially young, pretty ones) have a lot of options, while most men don't have that many options.

      I can only speak for myself but I don't want sex to be transactional. But even so, from the beginning of time, it's the moral morass attached to prostitution.
      Few of these women would be there if there was another opportunity they could realistically take advantage of to support themselves. And it is never sustainable. And the sex industry is riddled with vice, corruption, exploitation, abuse....why would anyone be in that world by choice?
      Only Fans and all that has complicated matters for sure and I guess some people see it as self-empowerment, but then it becomes the guys that are being exploited. It hacks your brain similar to how porn does but it's also different in the way that it exploits the need for connection and relationship in these OF simps who may be good guys on every other front and perfectly deserving of happiness and connection.
      I am not saying it isn't hard bro...it's the conundrum that good people find themselves in, that it's a moral and character compromise to get what you want or need, legal or not. But given the choice wouldn't you want to be with someone who wants to be with you for you and not the money? Doesn't matter if it's a sugar baby or an escort or a gold digger or e-girl or whatever.
      We are men and are used to exercising our power and taking initiative and thinking that Action A results in outcome B, but relationships don't work that way. You can do everything right and not succeed, and you can do everything wrong and somehow get lucky (in whatever context you choose to see that). Trust me, I've been in both situations!
      We all need to be self-aware, honest with ourselves and others, willing to take risks. Nothing is guaranteed, but that includes failure.
      I'm not telling you what to do or what to feel. But I fear you'll see the long term damage from the lack of sincerity and true connection and authenticity. I wish you luck wherever you are. God bless you and good luck.

    I escaped my own way. Or maybe it’s a part of these methods, but it’s just not clicking lol. But when I was told the typical friend zone lines, I make her own it. It’s not malicious, but if I’m told I’m seen as a brother, then that’s the energy and attention I’m going to give. That energy and attention is reserved for the next woman. It may be manipulative, but if you’re a interesting catch, and you’re scarce and you start talking about other women and bringing them around, your friend zoner might start seeing you differently. I’m not saying date other woman to make your crush jealous, but you should be living your life regardless. And it is a long process. Over 15 years, and the 3 times or so I got out of the zone, it was a year or more of doing my own thing.

The OP makes it sound like there's no need or value in putting in effort to develop a romantic relationship with someone who is uncertain or is "just a friend" right now. But that's not always true. You hear about many situations where one party didn't immediately feel the attraction and interest, but developed it over time. If you just "walk away" to protect or "respect" yourself, you could be missing out greatly.

  • @GovernorRP
    @GovernorRP 2 ปีที่แล้ว +65

    I did a lot of this myself.
    1. "Be the Catch" - I've worked hard on myself, and continue to do so. She's said how I'm a "great catch" and "any girl would be lucky to have me" but rejected me this past Sunday after almost a year and a half of going out places, getting to know each other freakishly well. We knew each other back in high school and met up again after almost not seeing each other for a decade.
    2. "Focus on Dopamine" - She desires to see me every weekend and SHE is the one making the plans herself to see me and how she loves seeing me and spending time with me. We do new things every couple of weeks, and any weeks we do the same things we've done, it's a walk somewhere to burn some calories and get dinner later. Heck, she's wanted me to meet her parents and she met mine, and both my parents as well as hers have hinted they see something happening between the two of us and seem to support it completely.
    3. "Focus on Oxytocin" - We nudge up on each other sometimes, maybe a little playful touch here and there, but she absolutely tenses up or cringes in the two times I've attempted to hug her.
    4. "Focus on Adrenaline" - As part of the things she and I have planned out, we have quite literally several months worth of new quests together, trying new things and seeing new places. Heck, we did that as recently as yesterday (which I know is probably a bad idea on my behalf after the rejection).
    Biggest problem is that she brought up a guy she hasn't seen in years (similar to me) and he asked her out right away. She told me she rejected him, but she brought him up every time we'd hang out and how it bothered her that he wasn't getting back to her sooner. She told me "you'd think if you're interested in someone, you'd want to reach out and make effort on them, right?" It honestly hurts to hear how fascinated and interested she is in that guy. I get told "just drop her" but she keeps making plans with me to see me and she made every sign that she was interested in dating me until this guy came along (even my sister and every woman I know said they saw numerous signs that she was indeed into me).
    Thing is, what's the point of any of this planning out as if we're some couple if she has no plans to date me and she KNOWS how I feel about her? I kind of think she feels like this newer guy is some kind of "upgrade" or something. She knows it bothers me because I get quiet when I start thinking about things, particularly things like that. She said last week she wasn't going to talk to this guy again since he didn't want to make effort to see her. She got messaged by the guy while we were out yesterday and her face lit up and she eagerly messaged him back. She said she got to hang out with him on her day off last Monday. No idea what happened, but I can't help but wonder "why continue to drag me along like this if there's no hope in the end with her?"

    Most women tend to friend zone nice guys. And use them to fulfill their emotional needs. To not feel so lonely being single, until they get with the person who they actually want to be with. And then it turns out that the person who they actually want to be with is no good.
    There's no problem being friends before getting in a relationship with someone. But it's important to be clear with your intentions and not use the person. The same goes for men not just for women. Men who are only interested in a one night stand, and then lose interest.

    A few months ago a woman told me that she just got engaged to a guy who had been in her friendzone for 15 YEARS. I told her she was a horrible person doing that to him.

    OK you are pretty funny! I like how you explain these little nuances. Got me cracking up lol.
    Don't get friendzoned:
    Stop trying or expecting.
    Work on yourself and stop simping. If you're not in love with yourself (not as a narcissist) why should anyone else be? Work on yourself. Get to know yourself. Get used to spending time with YOURSELF. Get to a point where you're in love with yourself enough that you are completely happy and excited about yourself and your life. Be happy with yourself but also feel like you want to share yourself with others without wanting anything in return and....voila...People end up loving you more opening up more potential opportunities for possible romance. Weird but it works. Most INFJ/Sigmas already do this naturally.

  • @creativechannel6148

    No formula, nor recipe. Just be yourself.

    If she's not in the same page, it's fine, she missed out, stop seeing or contacting her.
    Trust me, you are going to save a lot of time, energy and money to try it with another one.
    If she looks for you afterwards, it's yours!
    Finally, never never marry the one that friend zoned you.

If you master the understanding of choosing signals, you need not worry about the hell of the friend zone. But you need to act on them If you sit there and watch, she'll feel you're not interesting and fast track friend zone.

    A lot of this stuff can get a guy in A LOT of trouble in today's world. She's just not worth the risk. If she insults you by putting you in the friendzone, it means she wants to keep you as a 2nd banana in case the guy(s) she's really attracted to doesn't work out, (which is usually the case) and she likes the validation she feels from you stroking her ego with your interest. If she does select you from her friendzone, you were not her first choice and she will likely resent you later which will end the relationship anyway. Don't waste your time, money or emotion. Just dump her back to wherever you found her and move on.

    This is actually great advice.
    I would add as well that - from the off - you should only stay a persons friend if you actually value, or can see potential value, in them as a friend. Then either you've got an awesome new friend that can maybe set you up with new people, or a potential love interest later.
    If you are a guy that can't get over your attraction to someone and *have to* leave - potentially leaving an awesome connection behind. That looks like fear or rejection, and weakness to me. A person who is emotionally strong and stable gives zero fucks if you want to date them or not. It's your loss!
    Also, there is a hidden value in the friends first approach. You might find that *you* don't want to be romantically involved with this person after getting to know them better! Particularly since they have already displayed their terrible judge of character in not wanting to date your sweet ass!
