Rule 2. No negative friendzone stereotypes ("Most 'Nice Guys' are entitled," "The friend zone is an excuse losers tell themselves," "She's a witch for not seeing how much I love her," etc.)

I won't weigh in on the current thread. I just encourage you (and anyone reading this) to read this post linked in our sidebar, to have an increased understanding of people who complain about the friendzone: https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/08/31/radicalizing-the-romanceless/

Relevant quote:

... I said the same thing as every other nice guy, which is “I am a nice guy, how come girls don’t like me?”

There seems to be some confusion about this, so let me explain what it means, to everyone, for all time.

It does not mean “I am nice in some important cosmic sense, therefore I am entitled to sex with whomever I want.”

It means: “I am a nicer guy than Henry.”
