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.

Because, instead of seeing platonic relationships as a waste of time and resources, again, they could learn to treat women like people and not prizes they’ve earned or are entitled to because of “time spent.”

Again, you’re missing the point. I’m not talking about relationships that are plutonic in nature. I’m talking specifically about situations where a man has a romantic interest in a woman and it is not reciprocated, and she rejects his advances. Why would he waste his time?

Especially considering you said, “Let’s be honest, most men become friends with women in hopes that it will lead to intimacy.” This is what we call backpedaling and moving goal posts. Again, again, AGAIN- STOP LOOKING AT WOMEN IN TERMS OF PERSONAL GAIN.

Right....cause women NEVER look at men for personal gain. What do you think “let’s just be friends” implies? She wants to take any potential for intimacy off the table while still having him as a friend (orbiter) for validation, or as a pack mule. No thanks.

If that’s how you view friendship... then that is a fault of your own. Sounds like a product of your own inadequacies and insecurities.
