Do you feel like most guys underestimate the power of the "friend zone"?

Question

I feel like a lot of guys spend so much time crying about some girl only liking them as a friend that they don't realize the opportunity they have. Here are some positives I've found about being in the friend-zone:
1. You have no romantic/sexual allegiance to her, meaning you can do whatever you want with other girls.
2. You can date/fuck all of her friends and she'll put in a good word for you 
3. When other girls see you with her that'll attract more women to you. (Especially if she's really hot)
4. You can use her opinion on sooo many things to get laid even more.
5. She can vouch for you to other girls that are not her friends.
6. Other girls will assume you're nice guy because you can befriend a girl without having sex with her.
7. You can be yourself with her.
8. There's always a possibility she'll change her mind and you'll get your chance. Possibly even a threesome 🤔

I dont know of the word friend zone. It is a socially developed word used as as a excuse why a guy didn't get the girl. I personally dont do the friend zone. Im not interested in adding more friends to my ever expanding friend and acquaintances. I do not see it as opportunity lost as I can't make or force and manipulate them back to me. I cut my losses and move on. I do not invest more into someone who is not investing in me. Reciprocation has to happen. I recently got asked why can't we be friends from a really long term woman I had an interest in. My answer was simple im not interested in your offer of a platonic relationship. My feelings are strictly romantic. I feel this way. She was not interested. I kissed her on the cheek and said Im not doing just friends at that point after two years of shareed back and forth shared emotion. I was exhausted. I said if you change you mind let me know. She was upset. I had enough of the back and forth. That was four years ago. Havenot heard one sound. I moved on and dated others. Sucks because I had a great connection with her. I stopped investing in her because she would not invest in me.

What guys need to learn is to move the fuck on when you're not getting the girl. Stop trying and trying and trying.
Luckily I've never been friendzoned, but if I ever am, I'll just move on. I know I have no trouble moving on, so that's what I'd do. I won't stop being her friend, but won't pursue her, I'll be going for other girls. From what I've seen with other guys, they end up going for him once he moves on.

I feel some guys make a big deal about being in the "friendzone". Some overreact and get angry which doesn't make it any better. I think guys should see the good in it like some of the things you mentioned and one day the girl could develop feelings for him so he shouldn't just lose hope and not be friends over it. I dont even believe in the word friendzone, just because the girl doesn't have feelings for him right away doesn't mean they can't develop over time

yes i do think that because when you are friends with a guy and you just want to be friends and they keep pushing the subject it is really disrespectful

Friendzoning isn't that big of a deal tbh.  Sure it sucks at first but it isn't the end of the world like some people make it out to be.

I am in that exact position, I really dig this girl, we get along great but there is just friendship there, although sometimes she acts like there is a potential for more, or is it just wishful thinking. Ladies, I would like to hear from you too

— "You have no romantic/sexual allegiance to her, meaning you can do whatever you want with other girls."
But if she's the one you want, why would that make you feel better?

— "Other girls will assume you're nice guy because you can befriend a girl without having sex with her."
If you've already asked her out (because how else would you know?) she can still tell her friends about it.

— "You can be yourself with her."
Well, not if you're in love with her, right? Isn't that the point of this whole thing?

— "There's always a possibility she'll change her mind and you'll get your chance. Possibly even a threesome"
Keep dreaming, lol
