Why do women get upset when a guy doesn't want to be her friendzoned doormat?

[Anonymous]

Especially after he expressed feelings and she rejected him.

I would imagine it's because we thought we had a friend in someone and it turned out he just wanted sex from us instead. It feels like a betrayal. If men want to be all pissy and stop talking to a woman just because they can't get laid, then that speaks to that man's immaturity, not ours.

[Asker]

He wants to be more than friends. The fact that you can't grasp that remaining friends will just be painful for him shows you lack empathy and emotional intelligence

[Ez-Bri-Z_v2]

So it's exactly like I said. He wants to get laid. He can't have what he wants so he takes his ball and goes home.

[Asker]

He wants a relationship, you're selfish and think he should suffer though

[Ez-Bri-Z_v2]

Lmao

I don't want him to suffer, but you getting triggered is making me laugh. At no point did you say anything about a relationship in your question or description.

Even if he did want one, sex happens in a relationship doesn't it? My stance still applies. We don't want to have sex with him. We thought we had a friend and he betrayed that by trying to take it further. It's as simple as that.

[Asker]

So a relationship is just sex to you and all your boyfriends used you? Lmao you have problems lady

[Ez-Bri-Z_v2]

And a friendship is not good enough for you? You have to also want sex from every girl you are "friends" with?

[Asker]

Once you get to know someone more the likliehood of developing feelings increases. You act as if they went into the friendship from the get-go with ulterior motives is insane. The fact that I need to explain this to a 46 year old woman is sad

[Ez-Bri-Z_v2]

Mature people who are told no dont pout and run away.

And, yeah, thats how guys generally work. They know they want to sleep with someone in the beginning of meeting someone generally.

You are saying men are incapable of being friends with women because they can't control their emotions or libido. That's childish behavior. Men like that should grow up, either explain in the beginning what they want so we can decide then if we want to pursue a relationship or not or just not be friends at all from the jump with a woman if he can't act like an adult.

I can't believe im having to explain this to 30 year old.

[Asker]

It's clear you just hate men and want a simp to worship you

[Ez-Bri-Z_v2]

You are just lashing out now, huh? Couldn't win an argument so you have to be insulting? Do better.

[Asker]

I did win it, you have no emotional intelligence

[Ez-Bri-Z_v2]

Lol you won it just as much as you won that woman's heart that has you so triggered.

Face it, you can lash out all you want if it makes you feel better about yourself after being rejected like that, just know that you already lost the moment you became insulting. It's the sign of someone who's lost an argument.

Anyway, im done with you just as much as your former female friend was done with you. Have the day you deserve

[Asker]

If it the roles were reversed you'd still side with the woman lol

I don’t know, because there’s no reason to be upset. There’s always men willing to just stay friends. If it’s too painful for one guy whose feelings aren’t returned, it’s better to just let him go.

[capriVib]

I don't think most of them actually get upset. But if she was using that guy for favors or validation under the guise of friendship, then maybe she'd be upset.

[jahaims]

She is used to simps hovering around and validating her

Women like that get upset because they’re losing an ego boost and emotional support without having to give commitment. She wanted your attention, affection, and validation without the “boyfriend” label. When you pull back, it feels like rejection to her too.

You’re not a doormat, you’re a man with boundaries. That’s attractive, by the way.

[FreyaRed]

"Why do women..." is wrong "Who do a woman...".

[Asker]

what?

[FreyaRed]

*does
you're thinking in stereotypes

[Asker]

I do a woman? I does a woman?

[Ariesman81Nshiiit]

She's saying you shouldn't try and understand women. You should be the man the woman wants to fuck.

[Asker]

I don't let other people dictate my behaviour lol

[Ariesman81Nshiiit]

Nor should you

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

Because she considers him a friend and wanted to believe he saw her as a friend too, and not just an object for which he could pour out all of his emotional issues while also sticking his dick inside of.

[Asker]

Is that how you view relationships? Lmao and oh pls, he's probably already doing emotional labor for her

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

In my experience, what men call “emotional labor” women just call “solution-focused thinking that doesn’t allow for processing time”

[Asker]

Women don't talk like that, men do, sir

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

Look, I see the pattern. I know where this ends. You want a win? Take it.

[Asker]

Are you a cis woman, yes or no?

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

I’m trans, afab nb

[Asker]

You know what, I'm sorry, that was rude of me

[Nikki1989]

Why is a grown man in his 30s still talking about friend zones? Grow up, dude.

[Asker]

You're 36 and you act 12
