The friend zone is a misnomer. Anyone who expects romantic involvement in exchange for their kindness, or views the simple return of equivalent kindness as a deficient result, is definitely not a friend.

The best lesson I learned from a woman friend was that persistence is no guarantee of intimacy.

Let’s be honest. Most men become friends with women (especially attractive ones) in the hopes that it will lead to intimacy. Women instinctually know this, and are on guard. This is why I advise all men that if a woman shows no interest, move on. Friend zone is a waste of time

You advise other men to only seek women for the sole purpose of relationships instead of valuing them as people? And... you don’t see anything wrong with that?

I’m specifically talking about men being “friend zoned”. That term specifically implies that a man has a physical/romantic interest in a particular woman. If it’s not reciprocated, then what’s the point? Move on to other prospects.

Everyone is allowed to engage with people or not. The trouble is when men turn it into an overall philosophy of relationships that doesn't reflect that individuality.

And I’m telling men that their most valuable resource is time. Why waste it if it’s not reciprocated? Of course, on a root plutonic level, men and women can be friends. But if a man has interest, and it’s not reciprocated, don’t waste your time. Move on.

... The men are not “victims” in this situation. Their time is not being wasted. They’re actively choosing to make these decisions. Whereas, more often than not, the women are being VERY CLEAR with their intentions. (Hence the friendship aspect.)

If a man has a romantic interest, and it’s not mutual, why would a man invest his time? To what end? When women turn down men by saying “let’s just be friends” the man should take that to mean: stay away. And that’s what I encourage men to do in this situation: stay away
