YES! It’s happeneds to almost everyone. I liked this guy about a year ago and we had been friends for about 2 years. He was everything I wanted. We would hang out all the time and I thought it was going somewhere. Then one day he came to my house and we were joking around about us dating because one of his friends asked him if we were together. He said “that would be weird, we are such good friends and I couldn’t imagine being your boyfriend” I wanted to cry because I liked him a lot. But now we are still best friends and I’ve excepted the fact that we won’t be together!

Yup! Sometimes she's too naive or she's too immature or she's emotionally unavailable or shed be a good friend. Many guys when they are young may not be able to get around their own sexual thirst that project onto females, but as you become more mature it becomes easy to know what is good for you, vs what may look appealing for a day or two.
NO ONE is PUT into the friend zone, they choose it. Once you've been rejected, if you stick around, that's your choice. And it happens to both men and women, it can happen to anyone.
I don't keep friends if they express interest, because I don't want someone hanging around pretending to be my friend when they really want more.
To "friend zone" people in general is quite pathetic in my opinion, if you don't like someone, just come out on it and don't pull strings on them for the sake of either your own ego or selfishness (not saying you as in you but people in general).
Sure either boys or girls can/get friend zoned for whatever stupid reason they can come up with, but i do think that the whole concept "friend zone" is becoming a bit of more a useless low-case "trend", rather than the actual reason it would have behind it.
The friend zone issue has more to do with women having too many options and men wanting to date and have sex with any woman he finds attractive because most men are flat out sexually deprived.

The friend zone doesn't exist. "The Friend Zone is a psychological place in which you put yourself when you behave like a friend with the person you like, because you don't have the courage to behave otherwise."
Any one can end up in the friendzone.
It's easy to friend zone a girl you aren't attracted to whatsoever, so absolutely for that. But I've friend-zoned even women I was attracted towards for reasons that involved putting principle in front of passion. For example, one of them was an ex-girlfriend of my best friend: "bros before hoes", that sort of thing. Plus I wasn't interested in her for anything beyond sex, since I got to know her character and didn't think she was a particularly great girlfriend (very high maintenance).
Yea
Cuz if guys can be put, girls also
Equality but is it right or wrong? U find out.Yes, done it already... I'm looking for a girlfriend right now, met a nice girl, get along well with her, theoreticallt even living together would probably work out, but there just aren't any feelings beyond friendship. Even if I myself think it would be nice if there were, there just aren't, and probably aren't going to be.
I've belittled and ridiculed by women juat because i let it be known I liked them. Its the weirdest thing. I'm not sure where I was raised differently or not, but I really dont think you're supposed to be me or hateful to someone who likes you. If there's any decent, just politely delcline, abd act like it necer happened, keep being friends. It takes a lot out of somebody to be that open and vulnerable, dont know how its gonna go. Such a harsh punishment to be nasty to someone for liking you... Its a catch 22, you hear women want men to be upfront and speak what they want, but when you express it they reject it.
As @kaskas19 said,
Just because women don't throw a pissy little tantrum about how men led us on and what a bitch they are and how all men are evil bastards and how we're gonna join MGTOW, doesn't mean men don't reject us. We just handle it better <3Yea they can. My bff turned into my friends with benefits and for a while I thought everything was ok but then she suddenly began changing. It turns out she wanted more than just sex but I didn't catch on. The worst part of this is that I'd asked her out a few years prior and she said we'd be better off as friends so I never questioned it again.
While I don't believe in "putting" anyone in the friendzone, men can certainly have female friends that they're not sexually attracted to regardless of the woman feeling differently. It's definitely happened to me.
Absolutely. I have some friend zoned females. One of my former co-workers told me the last time we had dinner that she has wanted to have sex with me for years. I really care about her as a friend, and if she had made this offer 10 years ago when she was hot, I might have done it. But she’s 5-6 years older than me and let her body go about 2 years ago. Now, I think it’s just best to be friends.
Yes, but it's most often would be a fat chick, ugly chick or at least below average in looks and body. I don't see many hot women or attractive women that would be friendzone by a man. She may only be in the friendzone by a guy if he's a loyal and faithful man and doesn't want to cheat on his girlfriend or wife. But chances are, most guys would bang said woman if he's single or she wants it from it.
I believe the friendzone only exists to the extent you believe in it. If you don't consider a girl an option as a romantic partner but DO consider her a friend then you've effectively friend-zoned them. The same can happen to men. It's exclusive to neither because members of both sex believe in the friend zone.
I've been friend zoned before. Once it turned out that the guy had a girlfriend. The other time the guy came right out and said that originally he was planning on using me for sex but decided that I was too smart for that and wanted to be friends instead. His honesty was awkward.
Yes! 100%! I had been pursuing a guy for about 3 months and I thought that things were going somewhere. Then one day, he straight up asked me how I felt about him, completely out of the blue. So, naturally, I panicked and didn't have anything intelligent to say. He then said, "I like us better as just friends"
Yes. Guys have put me in the friend zone and that too for no reason. As weird as it sounds I had been told by a guy that I looked way too desperate so he wanted me to back off. Sad but true. I was just being way too friendly I guess. *Whatever*
No, because even if the guy thinks the girl is unattractive (acne, bad hair, overweight/underweight, etc.) once he notices that she’s changed and now he finds her attractive, he will want to bang her. For guys, women aren’t necessarily “friend zoned,” but just kept on reserve in the case he thinks she looks hotter or he finds that he is desperate enough to settle for her in the future.
Definitely. Me and a girl had a crush on each other and fooled around, but I put her in the friend zone because I wasn't feeling that desire for her and I wanted to stay friends.
No or at least it's extremely rare.
Friend-zoning describes a specific psychological mechanism that is typically seen in women.
Guys can think of girls as friends but that doesn't mean the girl was friendzoned.
You need a whole separate definition for some kind of equivalent thing that guys do as a male version of friendzoning.If your a straight guy attracted to women's you'll find it very hard to put women's in the "friend zone" however is possible. Depends how educated you are.
The friendzone is people you're not interested in dating but you want to stay friends. It's where the people go who you are unattracted to romantically. But you find them someone who you could be a friend with.
