"I've been told (by a man) that most men think along the lines of a female friend is just someone they haven't fucked yet! But definitely not ruled out! That said a lot to me ![]() Yup! One of my guy friends said similar to this before and I do believe it. I’ve never been friend zoned, but I do think women can be friend zoned, probably in the minority though! ![]() | |||

"Is this re the bloke at work? Hope you’re okay x" Nothing's happened, but I think I might be in the friend zone. Like I know I'm funny, I always have been witty and quick, all my friends say it, people on here say it, I even make myself laugh I can't help it. But I don't want to fall into the category of just being a laugh. | |||

"Guys do you friend zone women that you think are hot but they consistently make you laugh every time you're chatting to them? " I’ve got some really good female friends, one in particular who I get on with like a house on fire, all we do when we’re together is laugh and everybody says what a lovely couple we’d make but sadly I’m the one who is friend zoned. I think women are more likely to write men off as friends only rather than the other way round. | |||

"I dunno, I think the friendzone *does* exist...I can't say I've ever friendzoned a woman, but I've purposefully friendzoned myself a couple of times... For instance one was a girl I got chatting to off of Reddit, one of the hook-up subreddits; she initially posted looking for a bit of side-action because her relationship wasn't great and we got chatting for a bit before she disappeared. She resurfaced a little while later, apologising for going AWOL, but explaining she'd split up with her fella and was in pieces. After chatting a bit more and realising she was spiralling down into a bit of a funk, I basically said to her that I thought she needed a friend more than anything else, so we took the whole hooking up thing off the table. She's real pretty, but if anything came of the situation I think I'd feel all weird and creepy, like I was preying on vulnerable women and taking advantage of them when their emotional defences were down... ![]() I don’t think that counts as friendzoning as I understand it, it’s just being a decent person | |||

"The friend zone is basically the "myeh I thought I was gonna fuck you but on closer inspection nah you're boring/weird/bat shit crazy but you're still quite hot so I'll tag you along so that I can have a gaggle of people I know would like to fuck me lingering around flattering my ego or just in case you attract better candidates or on the random chance that I'm absolutely desperate for a shag at some point in the future" zone I'd say you could easily qualify for that with the bat shit crazy bit ![]() That's quite unnecessarily nasty don't you think. | |||

Some people use it as it makes them feel better about the fact they’ve been rejected, nicely. Others can take it on the chin and accept that not everybody is going to want to get romantically involved with you, and that’s fine. | |||

Tell that to all the men up and down the country that are in the friend zone. There isn’t a friend zone to be in Well there is because I’m in it with one particular female friend. She said as much to my face. She’s just not attracted to you. That’s it. This friend zone thing is just another word for the rejected to use to make themselves feel better. Of course anyone can be in the “friend zone” because not everyone wants to shag everybody. There are plenty of people I like as people but wouldn’t fuck, and vice verse, that’s just life. I think there is a case, that some women like having a man that they know fancies them, keeping him her back pocket for the ego boost and stringing him along, if she’s having a dry spell she knows he’s there if needs be. " Oh yeah definitely. That’s just being a shitty person for taking advantage of someone’s feelings | |||

"The friend zone is basically the "myeh I thought I was gonna fuck you but on closer inspection nah you're boring/weird/bat shit crazy but you're still quite hot so I'll tag you along so that I can have a gaggle of people I know would like to fuck me lingering around flattering my ego or just in case you attract better candidates or on the random chance that I'm absolutely desperate for a shag at some point in the future" zone I'd say you could easily qualify for that with the bat shit crazy bit ![]() Hey don't get serious on me. You know I was pulling your leg. But yeah. That's what the friend zone that everyone's saying doesn't exist is. Us guys know about it really really well | |||

"Guys do you friend zone women that you think are hot but they consistently make you laugh every time you're chatting to them? I’ve got some really good female friends, one in particular who I get on with like a house on fire, all we do when we’re together is laugh and everybody says what a lovely couple we’d make but sadly I’m the one who is friend zoned. I think women are more likely to write men off as friends only rather than the other way round. ‘Write men off as friends’ how is that a write off? If someone isn’t interested in you romantically or sexually that doesn’t mean it’s a write off ![]() You trying to say I’m not the hottest thing on fab? Well damn. | |||

"Is this re the bloke at work? Hope you’re okay x Nothing's happened, but I think I might be in the friend zone. Like I know I'm funny, I always have been witty and quick, all my friends say it, people on here say it, I even make myself laugh I can't help it. But I don't want to fall into the category of just being a laugh. Then fuck him. He'll either avoid you after that, or declare undying love and be glued to you for life.... either way you will know. ![]() All joking aside, I think you need to slowly turn from being funny, to being someone he can talk to on a more personal level. Start with boring shit, but slowly turn it to more intimate (as in, more personal), talk about life outside work, keep it light, but get him to open up to you, so he starts to see you as more than just someone he has a giggle with at work. Then just build on that. | |||

"Ok so next question, how do you avoid being friend zoned!?" It’s all about sex appeal... check Margot Robbie at wolf of wallstreet. A turn off is a woman who behaves like a child most of the time. Humor, body language, eye stares are all important. When you meet someone funny but serious, you know that you will have a good time and that they can carry themselves. | |||

"When asking for men's opinions why do women give theirs? I don't need to know women's opinions, I am a woman and already know how we think. Men and women think differently that's why I wanted to know the opinion and of men, I asked the question of men, not women. " You know how you think. You don't know how anybody else thinks, male or female. We are all different, and think in different ways. Possibly the best way to get a better understanding of how someone thinks is to ask them, and actually listen, rather than making assumptions. | |||

I don’t think you can avoid being “friend zoned” someone either wants to be with you romantically or they don’t. However, I do think feelings can grow over time so someone who was once a friend, can easily become a lover. | |||

I do believe that the way you carry has a big impact as I mentioned earlier. The confidence, charisma and aura someone reflects can trigger quite erotic emotions or other people enjoying being around them. I mean every guy would chase Kathrine Zeta Jones and every woman Wolverine (don’t remember the name of the actor) For your second comment, I would describe it better as bad first impression where a person reflects as arrogant or too direct and when you get to know them, you realize that they are very cool people after all. | |||

You don't need a range of male responses as all men must clearly all think the same, so whatever he says, is what it must be. You are an intelligent woman, surely you must know that all women don't think the same at all? ![]() | |||

She has clearly stated earlier that she recognises that men think diferently which is very true. And as she asked for mens opinions I'm guessing that it's a man who has friend zoned her...Therefore makes logical sense to ask the guys....no? | |||

"Think my problem is more along the lines of not wanting to be seen as one of the lads. For people that have been here years and years they'd be familiar with exactly how many times other forumites would accuse me of being a man with a fake profile purely for the way I converse on here, been told I say things that apparently only a man would say, that's exactly how I am in real life too. I don't want to be seen as the funny one, I want to be the sexy one ![]() Being 'the funny one' is sexy to some people, and putting on a facade of 'the sexy one' (or any facade tbf) is unsexy to some people. I know it's drifting a little from what you've asked, but I'm reading between the lines that this is about, "How can I change myself to attract person x?" Maybe the smarter move is to find person y.

Two competing needs. I guess it's a bit of a power play like the sub dom thing. The "friend" is relegated to a sub position which they don't like. And sometimes the person doing that is being quite deliberately dom. The cliche would be the sexy woman who has lots of male stragglers, not because they're actually friends. No they're just suitors she's rejected. Instead of telling them to fuck off as another woman might she's tagging them along because they flatter her ego. That, for me, is different from friendship. In friendship there is no power play or feeling of relegation. Those women who are my friend and I find attractive... I wouldn't use the term friend zoned in that situation as I don't feel relegated or tagged along. They're just friends So someone in the "friend zone" is not actually a friend? One person is using the other to flatter their ego and the other person is letting them do that. Surely if you're being used in that way, you have nothing further to do with the person. In any event, that's not how I have generally seen. "friend zone" used. It's usually used by men who think that because they are nice to a woman she should have sex with them and they get angry and frustrated when she won't. " I'd class it as an abusive relationship that's maintained because the "friend" is kept hopeful that they might get laid at some point. That's why they don't fuck off . And the person doing the friending doesn't discard them because they have a use for them. Any other friendship that's healthy. That's just a friendship. I don't think either of those people would say they were friend zoning or being friend zoned The distinction can be subtle. There have been several times when I thought I was getting closer to a woman and enjoying a platonic friendship. Only for them to sexualise it. Then friend zone me. And suddenly I'm in some weird dynamic with them where I want them but they've block that and got power over me. It has caught me out a few times. But I usually crash and burn those types of "friendships" now | |||

"Guys do you friend zone women that you think are hot but they consistently make you laugh every time you're chatting to them? " Not until I've fucked them. | |||

"There are some people you like and want to have sex with and some people you like and don't want to have sex with. Let's call them category A and category B. The problem arises when you put someone in category A and they put you in category B. It happens and if you are an adult, you accept that. The "friend zone" is a term used by those in that situation who feel sorry for themselves. Is there not a C category, where one wants to have sex and the other isn’t that keen but not totally ruling it out the idea. Therefore uses the other person as a back up in a dry spell, with the added bonus of it being a nice ego boost ?! ![]() But that could only happen if you allow it to. If you have recognised that is what is happening you have the power to end it. | |||

"What's been interesting about this thread is how differently everyone sees what being friend zoned means.

One is only interested in the other for sex and one is only interested in the other for the ego boost. "friend zone" seems a very strange term for a situation where both parties are manipulating the other and, as I say, is not how the term is usually used. | |||

"I personally think women do this quite a lot too ,your good enough to be my friend but I ain't ever going to fuck you" There is nothing wrong with that if the relationship has only ever been a friendship, not everyone wants to fuck everyone else no matter how much one of them wants to, if the piramiters of a friendship are set out it’s up to you to be adult and not overstep that. | |||
