The Science of the Friend Zone

I have no friends and I've never had a girlfriend even though I've desperately wanted one for a long time. Social anxiety is a bitch.😔

11 years ago?

Michael: Asks a girl out
Girl: "I think we should stay as friends."
Michael: Or should we?

I love vsauce

Or just like, communicate what you want and respect the other person's response.

Eyyyy.... Why is this got into my recommendation

What kind of research doesn't support the nice guys finish last argument, I wonder... they didn't interview a thousand college girls, did they? They didn't believe them, did they? I'm not a nice guy. My perspective is a little different.

Further... we need more details on this friend zoned because they were not compatible, rather than too nice argument. What is compatible... what turns a woman on... what makes her hot... would THAT be considered compatibility? Does nice result in wet panties?

What you ought to realise is that the "friend zone" humanises people.

Noted.

dud who hurt u

Accepting a position in the "FriendZone" is entirely optional, regardless of how either person feels about the other. Simply put if you dont want to be "Friendzoned" then do not accept the proposition and move onto greener pastures where different individuals may see you as a more valuable prospect than just a "Friend".

wow, that took a turn at the end

Ahh yes. Cyberbalkanization

I am much rather single my whole life than sacrifice my entire personality to another person

Damn..

Howto get out of the friendzone when she's your enemy

Yea.. imma be single forever.

The girl first friendzoned me then dated me for 1 month and then left me . I think it's a lesson for me.

This very idea of making someone a role model or making someone sit on the pedestal by the sheer virtue of the potrayal of one's self is flawed in nature.. may be you respect the qualities that they have, but making them your idols will be a mistake..
Suppose a man finds the description of love by the criminal assaulter, Charlie in the work of George Orwell ," down and out in paris and london" very appealing, but when analytically you look at it, you would find that he is just describing his own uncontrollable desire to have sex, but portraying it as if it is the greatest moment of love anyone can experience in their lifetime..

Rolemodels with a fan following always tend to sprew such bullshit, Religious leaders, Motivators, leaders everyone does this shit..

Anyone who has a big "fan" following is a very big bullshitter unless people are fan of their work, rather than their words..

why do we kiss vsause

I think we’re better off as just friends-

*Vsauce music starts playing*

Or DO you?

Damn Vsauce told us about today's friendship and social media issues years ago. This really really aged well!

As a boy When you're broke girls friend zone you
As a girl when you're ugly boys friend zone you
Saved you 9 minutes and 12 seconds

To me it feels like it's more about a bad match.. Not enough in common, not enough chemistry, not a like-minded-partner potential.; )

Why did this suddenly get recommended to me.

Bro if you trying to befriend me by giving me orders, imma tell you to fk off

Hey friends

Kai needs to watch this.

Anyone got this recommended past December 2024? 💀

The segment about the internet has never been so damn relevant

Never thought I'd be sitting here listening to a vsauce video on the friendzone

Tried to be scarcely available to my crush, now she's inviting me to meet her boyfriend's parents.

I Literally just got friendzoned and this video showed up on my feed

So what you’re saying is that maybe it’s not about the friendzone but about… the friends we made along the way????

Never thought I’d be getting relationship advice from Micheal but here we are…

bateman's principle huh. i knew it was because of me being a sigma

The back gate to the Friend Zone is never locked. 😢

To women, Friend Zoning is like a spare tampon. 😢

Nice guys finish last
That's why i'll treat you like trash
It's not what i really want to do

But you only date bad guys
So i'll give it my best try to
Treat you the way you want me to

I never open the door
Or pull out a chair
You can tell me how your day was
But i don't really care

And if you ever get cold
You'll just have to hack it
Cause I'd be cold too
If i gave you my jacket

Like WHOA
You ain't sittin' up front
Front is for the homies
You can sit in the trunk

I never answer my phone whenever you call it
And when the waiter brings the bill
I never reach for my wallet 🎶

If women have friendzone, men have f*ckzone.

The "friend zone" both exists and doesn't exist in inverse proportion of whomever has the most power in the relationship dynamic (attractiveness).

I had an ex friend explicitly tell me several times she would like to date if only we were not long distance, only for her to get with a mutual friend who is just as far from her as me. After all the double standards against me i put up with in our friend group (i mean blatant hypocrisy in how i was treated, yet how i had to be overly thoughtful of everyone else), she thought i would simp after her and happily play back up. I blew up and told her off on most of the things i had dealt with thanks to her, and how much i was hurting from it, before blocking her. I am not anyones plan B, and I'm glad she felt embarrassed when i put my foot down, as she should. Fuck you, Lexi.
