Oh no, my miserable life that’s devoid of any connection and anyone altogether otherwise *at least contains a friend.

What the fuck man, is this a real concern average people have that I’m way too fucking alienated to understand

    What if it partially stems from people politely rejecting others, after a date, by telling them they just want to be friends when they don’t actually mean it?

    Unfortunately, that can happen, but keep in mind that rejecting men is often very dangerous for women and they have to be very careful not to seem unfriendly. It’s probably not personal or intentionally cruel, but rather an automatic defense mechanism.

      That’s a factor that people in this thread that are going “won’t someone think of the friendzoned men and their unique and unfathomable pain” either don’t see or refuse to see.
