Do you believe in the phrase "friend zone" or do you think its just a nice way of letting down somebody you don't find attractive but still want to remain friends with?

Personally i believe the latter, that the friend zone does not exist. If a person is attracted to another person, they are not turned off because they become closer to them or more friend like.

It exists for the guys that cant get that girl that they want. For guys that get the girl it doesnt exist.

The friend zone basically means he/she doesnt fancy you, end of. I am amazed at all the stuff people right about it on the internets, ladder theory etc, when at the end of the day, its simple, he/she just doesnt fancy you. Think about it, you dont fancy everyone do you? So you too are creating friend zones also.

Of course it exists.

Being 'friend-zoned' just means:
Person A fancies Person B, who is a close friend. Person B does not fancy Person A.

What about that is there that is incomprehensible?

what do you mean does it exist?

its a phrase used to describe a situation between two people - if the description fits then yes it does exist. Like friends ive had since primary school - and dont even think of them in that way - they will only ever be just friends - it would be like going out with a sister

the question is though; you dont find your friend attractive right now, but would you find them attractive if they lost weight? got a makeover? changed their moral values or outlook on life? and such...

i think thats where the "friend zone" debate lies.

I only usually ever start fancying guys after i've become friends with them and know them well.
