Is it normal i don't like people who complain about the friendzone?

A lot of guys (and girls) I know are always complaining about the friendzone, and lately it's been getting on my nerves. If a girl just wants to be friends, then she's simply not interested, and so the relationship wouldn't have worked anyway. A lot of the men who consider themselves "nice guys" are actually douchebags, and I can see why they're being turned down so often. IIN?

  • There are far more nice guys than douchebags out there, the only difference is that the douchebags are noticed more, and yes, even chosen more, despite how you females want to brand your morality levels.

    I find the whole "Guys that say they're good guys are actually douchebags" part just BS. You're trying to justify your choice of not picking nice guys over assholes by stating that the nice guys that claim to be nice guys are actually assholes.

    I think it is completely acceptable and understandable why a guy will bring up the "friendzone" talk. I for one am sick of seeing so many nice guys interested in a girl, then when the girl that picked the douchebag over the majority of guys that were nice, she sits there screaming "Where are all the good guys? All men are pigs, men don't know how to love a girl. Where are all the good guys"...Well they're in the friendzone where she left them.

    If a woman would preffer being friends with a guy, that is understandable, and I can understand that. What I absolutly hate is when a girl will reject someone, then say she's looking for a guy with certain qualities, and all the guys she rejected has all of those qualities, then she goes for a good looking asshole with none of the qualities.

    It is actually irritating how the commenters have commented and this whole statement. This is just another fine example of how women can't take resposnibility for something they do wrong and bring on themselves, and it's one of the reasons why I have never tried to enter the whole relationship game.

    Ugh. Women, grow up. Just because you pick the asshole, then realize that you picked the asshole when you friendzoned so many nicer guys doesn't make it right for you to use good guys as a scapegoat and say "Oh, well, erm, the good guys are assholes too! Yeah, yeah, that's why I picked the biggest asshole before I picked the good gu...Oops, I mean lesser assholes".

    Grow up.

    (Yes, I know, you're over emotional and won't accept that this happens, so you'll thumbs it down to the max simply because I won't give in to the idea you wish all men gave in to, that rainbows shine out of your ass)

      • No, you just don't pay attention to the good guys, and a lot of the "douchebags" (not most, but a lot) are douchebags because they know girls go for them when they are.
        If I was to go by your logic that you notice the douchebags more, therfor the majority are douchebags, then I can say the same about women, the mojority where slutty clothing to get attention.

        • Okay, let's agree on one thing- a lot of men act as douchebags to impress women, a lot of women dress like sluts to impress men. In reality, we could all be much happier if neither occurred. Both sluts and douchebags are, in many ways, created by the standards of the other gender.

          • Definetly, I agree. A lot of women and females do act that way, I will never dissagree with that, Saying the majority of them do, that is something I dissagree with.

            • A majority what? Dress like sluts? I never said that, I said that a disturbingly large number do.

    • I didn't thumb down your comment because I thought that you gave some valid points, and I didn't remove your comment because that would be censorship. However, I'd like to point out that this post was saying that I dislike how many guys use the friendzone as an excuse not to learn from their mistakes. A lot of douchebags that I've met consider themselves to be "nice guys." Whenever they (rightly) get rejected by a girl, instead of learning from their mistakes and becoming a better person for it, they use the same argument that you do- they blame the girl, who never had any romantic feelings for them anyway, and stay the same as they were before. And since they haven't learned to become better, they keep getting rejected, and keep refusing to change. This post did not talk about actual good guys, it talked about douchebags who consider themselves nice guys, even though they're not. After all, how can a man tell if he's really "nice" by a woman's standards? I'm fine with the concept of the friendzone, but I'm tired of it being used as an excuse.

      • In that case, in which the guys are definetly assholes, then I can agree with that.

    You're actually wrong. Girls do turn down some really nice guys and go for the douchebags. Ask me; I'm a big douchebag and I get a lot of girls. Girls for some reason dig that shit

    Also, it's humor. Laugh don't rage.

    Hahaha, I understand completely!

    I find it funny too how a lot of those nice guys see their rejection as being because they were "nice guys", but their behavior tends to make me think that they are arrogant dicks that feel that their attitude alone should be why they should have gotten the girl. Because, you know, it has nothing to do with the girl's feelings.

    I see why they complain, because more often than not, the girl's friend-zoning them go for men that treat them like shit, but to complain about the friend-zone like it's a form of hell? All it tells me is that you have yet to develop the mental capacity to realize which mistakes you're making and to quit going after the same basic type of girl.

    And if you're going after girls constantly, it signifies that you're afraid to be alone. Women don't want a man that will go for just anyone because they want to feel like they're the only one. As a woman, I don't want to be the prize of the desperate.

    So, normal.

    A guy that I was friends with for about two months asked me out. I declined and said that we were better friends. He fucking stopped talking to me for good. I realized that he never considered me a friend.

    Obviously it depends on the situation.

    I can see how it must suck to really like someone and have them turn around and say "I'm not going out with you... but I want to be friends so you have to see me every day just so you won't forget about me or get over me, and then I'll show off my next boyfriend to you and make you feel like crap".

    But then again, wanting to be with a girl who would make you feel that terrible (either out of ignorance or malice) would make you a bit of an idiot :/

    And then there's the other friendzoned guys who everyone else is talking about, who are arrogant, self-absorbed and probably deserve to be just where they are :P

      Then again, maybe the girl feels just as bad but just can't help that she doesn't have feelings for the person. I'm sure we've all had a time in our lives when someone we had feelings for is in our group of friends, you have to get over that and be able to live with them. Nothing can make that not suck, but you can't make someone want to be with you either; and I know I'd rather not lose a friend over something like that, even if it's hard to be around them for a while.

      I know usually when I see it online, it's guys who are arrogant, use all sorts of derogatory language and perpetuate gender stereotypes, are rude to women, and then turn around and whine about being frienzoned and forever alone. Reddit sucks.

    I agree. Instead of complaining, why can't you be grateful you now have a friend? Some people are just so sensitive.

    What I'm trying to say is that just as the end of a road is a summation of it's beginnings, so do a man's actions now reflect his fate then. So yes, no one should whine about anything.

    Not only is it useless but it's also counterproductive.

    Complain about friendzone = Arrogant Jerk<BR>Say nothing about friendzone = Doormat<BR>Move on to another girl = Afraid to be Alone<BR>Don't move on to another girl = Desperate<BR><BR>These are basically rules set up by insecure women to construct a situation where the guy can never win (as if relationships are something that you can "win" at). In other words, it's nonsense. <BR><BR>The OP is right about one thing though. Confident guys don't put up with these bullshit games.

    Yes. Being friends with a woman isn't a horrible punishment unless you're an asshole.

    Wait a minute you just said that if a girl just wants to be friends then she's just not interested. Duh. That's the whole point. Rejection is always painful so of course we don't want to be friends when you just insulted us by silently telling us that we are so unattractive that even if we were the last man on earth you wouldn't date us. We didn't gain a friend. We just got insulted.

    Um... I don't get the big deal about the "friendzone"
    I liked this guy (a lot) and everybody knew it.. I reached out to him to see if he liked me, but he didn't. He just wanted to be friends (the friendzone) and I was completely ok with that. A couple months later, he asked me to be his girlfriend...
    You gotta be friends first to have a relationship. It won't work if you don't. We are now engaged.

    How's that for the friendzone? ;)

    What do nice guys/douchebags have to do with the friendzone? These are two entirely different stories.

    If you think that a guy you're not interested in is a douchebag, you simply reject him. You do not put him in the friendzone.

      A lot of the guys who complain about the friendzone are also the guys who complain about how "girls like jerks", and they often claim that girls don't like them because they're "too nice".

    I completely agree, with everything you said. It's like you took the words right out of my head. Especially the "Guys who say they're nice guys are actually douchebags" part.

    I have never complained about the friendzone. What's there to complain about unless you really love the woman? It's great having attractive female friends!
