Yes. I've been fortunate that way too, as far as my 'real life' male friends. I've been seeing and hearing the bitter, angry sort of talk from men about being "friend-zoned" for a long time now, expressed in various ways. I can understand the hurt and even anger if they've actually been led to believe they were a romantic interest to a woman, and been used in some way. That doesn't seem to have been the case the though, many, many times.
