So I was scrolling my Facebook news feed today, and came across a meme poking fun at how girls don't like good guys, but will go for the douche bags. So naturally the comments became a huge debate about the Friendzone, and guys bitching about being put in it, and girls telling guys to man up and that the friendzone wasn't real. Well one girl posted this:
upworthy.tumblr.com/post/50990…It is a somewhat interesting twist on it. So here are my thoughts on it.
If all of it is true, then these guys are looking for a girl whom they can have fun for as to have a deeper relationship than just sex.
Furthermore even if these guys where to still be your friend there would come a day when you would start to date someone who was not him. And when that happens your friendship with him will start to dwindle, things that you used to do with him you will now do with your boyfriend. If things go well with the boyfriend your guy friend will be less and less important to the point where you won't hang out with him very much. And if things go bad with the boyfriend you will talk to it about your guy friend, and the entire time there will be a voice in the back of his head yelling that he wouldn't have done any of this to you had you given them a chance. On the flip side, if you keep your guy friend as close as you want him to be, then there is a decent chance that your boyfriend would get jealous and cause all the problems that come with that.
So when you reject a guy, if he stops being your friend it's most likely because he doesn't want any of that to happen, or feels like anytime spent with you could be better spent finding a female that actually wants to give him a chance to more than just a friend.
Honestly I really shouldn't say "guys" as that sounds like this is how all men are, as I am sure it is not. But this is how I feel, and in the years since high school I have been friendzoned exactly 4 times. I am still friends with 3 of the girls. I still hang out, talk and have fun. But there is a special type of depression that comes about knowing you will never be as important to them, as they are to you.
