If a woman friend zones you, it doesn't mean she's a scheming, manipulative sociopath...

As woman, there's nothing more disgusting than realizing a man only wants to talk to you if sex will eventually be involved. He never wanted to be your friend, and he'll trash every wonderful moment you shared just because it wasn't leading to romance. The only purpose of him opening up was for you to be his, and then he acts like you were dishonest and scheming.

Sadly, I was one of those dudes in my younger years on sites like this. As much as I hate to admit it. And I hated myself for it.

And there’s dudes like that now.

Sorry you’re going through that. There are good people out there. And those who are just wanting to be friends.

But I saw a post this morning about that, and it was scary to see how everyone thought the woman was a schemer and manipulator. Maybe in that case she was, but it’s not like that for every woman, or man, who puts people in the friendzone.

Apologies on the wordiness of this. I’ll go back to being gifs and memes.

@BillyMack that post is what sparked this one. It was absolutely repulsive to see other men commenting like she was some psycho when she was actually being transparent about her feelings and still wanted to keep in touch with a man she admired but didn't have romantic feelings for. Which is her prerogative.

Don't ever apologize for wordiness. I love words and appreciate the effort it takes to open up and share. Thank you. I do enjoy the quick sillies! But effort is something rarely directed at me, so it's much appreciated.

@ScreamingFox yeah that certainly wasn’t a good look. To me it was one of two things: either those guys feel they’re owed something from this world, or that’s the trick they use. It’s disheartening for sure.

And thanks also for that. Most of the time I like to keep things light and fun. But there does seem to be some depth to this ole lumberjack at times too lol.
