I believe so, Rap isnt very good, i applaud their ability to rhyme fairly well, but it's still a very ovverated music genre.

I thought friend zone is more of a "I'm just not sexually attracted to you" thing, ie a way to politely refuse romantic advances. Nothing to do with actually wanting to be friends.

Its that and from my translations from femalese, can cover things from "I don't think your what I want", or "I know you too much, I'd just be stange", or in worst case "I dont like you, but I'm friends with your sister, so I cant go tell you to die"....

Technically, the friend zone is only there when the people involved are already friends. At least, that's the concept over here in my country.

It's common in many cultures, this 'friend zone' it seems.



Guys here seem to be just as terrified of it as they are all over the world. Also, culturally we Filipinos are almost American.

I'll join Jude's pool.  I'm not going to put any money into it, but I'll join and splash around.

Eh?

Rather than having them directly force you to mine adamantine, I would suggest that they give you strange moods that require adamantine. "Dig out the adamantine or Urist here goes insane and dies" is suitably vicious.

(It occurs to me that you can probably get "Lovecraft" as the random name of your fortress. That's when you know you're screwed.)

OT: In my experience, "friend zone" is code for a person that has a bad impression of romantic relationships. They've been too stressful, too demanding, or just not pleasant in general, so they only reservedly enter such arrangements with people that can give them what they want from it.

From the same experience, people that think of relationships as a responsibility and burden are people that don't do relationships very well. They automatically assume the defensive. Maybe this is just in the people I've seen, but telling this to my brother (I learned that I was basically right, after he talked to her about it) saved him a very good friendship with someone who is otherwise a wonderful woman. She may still date him when she gets away from that mentality, but even if she doesn't, friendship can be much more valuable than "getting some ass", as one poster put it.

Aha. So it seems that this discussion has come to the "zone" of my ... ah... younger days. I think that when we are talking about friend zone it's time to realize that you should have googled "pickup" or something. And visited some men's magazines long ago. There are tons of advice as I remember. If I recall correctly, they would say that you are still a bit far from the danger of getting into friend zone. You need to get more intimate... Aha. That one that I recall specifically said that you need to be "cocky" with a girl. Though the term seems quite vague to me...

You know nothing

Anyway, the "friend zone" is what happens when you like a girl and start spending time with her, but don't have the balls to make a move and, even if she's aware that you like her, the fact that you don't have the balls makes her unattracted to you romantically, but she still likes you as a friend and so she tells you that she's only interested in being friends by way of an apology for not being attracted to you and hooking up with a jerk who has balls and self-respect instead

As I said, it can even happen if you do make a move, but the first version is the most common among nutless guys

Actually, I think it kinda means what it means. That you've got to move the relationship to the sexual side, or you stay where friends are - where there is no sex. And 18th century romance is pretty rare these days...

No, cocky is a slang term for somewhat exaggerated self-confidence.

It's saying girls want a guy who's confident.

I hate Family Guy, but they did make a joke along these lines that made me laugh.  In the Star Wars one, instead of saying "Good kid, don't get cocky" to Luke when he shot the TIE-Fighter down, Han said "Good kid, don't get penisy"

That isn't necessarily true. Depends a lot on both parties. I've seen plenty examples of both; it's not like a girl is automatically going to dump you if you don't whip your dick out on the third date
