The Girlfriend Zone

[Torisakia]

Jesus christ you people. Some of us are trying to discuss things relevant to the OP. Take your train wreck elsewhere.

Alrighty then.

[The Steel Magnolia]

For all our silly clashes, I'd be sad to see you go.

Wasn't it really only that gendered washrooms thing?

There was something else stupid too, but I can't remember what for the life of me.

Either way though, you're not rid of me just yet!

'sides, I'm way too classy for a "goodbye thread."

Damn copycats. *shakes cane*.

Love ya.

Keep disagreeing with people; it's good for you!

Trust me, I think when I'm 20 or whatever, I'm going to look back at my currently nineteen-year-old self and think "wow, I was a fucking asshole". Or a bad writer, one of the two. *nod*

It doesn't stop.

I sometimes look back at my 26 year old self and think "man, she was a fucking idiot".

I see this as very much a good thing.

Hell, me from a year ago (when I started posting) was a vapid idiot. *nod*

I think if you reach a point where your ideas aren't changing you've done something wrong, personally.

[Arkhane]

You're a very mean person, you are.

It is one of my talents.

Well, that talent is pretty common in the internet, so you should try something different for a change. >:'(

for people who claim to be more intelligent as given by age, you seem to forget that this has nothing to do with the Op...

Also...

BEE'S!!!!!

Oh, yes, I remember you from last year.

I kid, I kid. I'm still a fucking idiot at 23 and I'll still be one in 3 years. I'm hoping I'll be cured by the time I'm 30.

Shush, we're reminiscing.

Which is pathetic for me at least, but let me have my little pleasures, dammit!

Go reminisce in your own thread. No one is stopping you.

Well, I hope mine start changing the other way. Less libertarian, more conservative. Like Dog intended.

Why don't you post something relevant instead of whining at people who, after mostly having contribued to the topic, are indulging in a little side conversation? Do you have anything to add?

Afraid not. Stupidity lasts forever. Once you catch it, you're stuck with it. And infection rate is 100%.

My mistake. Your problem seems to be that no one had any interest in what you had to say. Judging by your post, which I have now read, it seems to have been with good reason.

I mean:

And when it comes to myself, I've been there. And I think that the girl in question is manipulative, doesn't make logically sound decisions, and is insanely, infuriatingly stubborn. But those are all properties that many people have (including myself), and I truly love her and care about her, so I will continue to be her friend and support her in her decisions. Because more than anything, I just want her to be happy. Take from that what you will.

How many times are we supposed to see this pathetic, deluded rant before we get bored of it? Some girl, that you think is "manipulative, illogical and insanely stubborn" doesn't reciprocate your interest in her despite you just wanting the best, for this poor, deluded, illogical woman (aren't you just a lovely, noble, well meaning sweetheart).

Tough shit. Get over it.

Your mistake again. I don't think she has those qualities because she voiced a disinterest in me. I think she has them because she has shown that she has them, and admitted as much herself. And I don't think I'm a lovely, noble, well meaning sweetheart. I think I'm the opposite - but I strive to change that. And I'm not going to get pissy and stop being her friend just because she isn't interested in anything but friendship. Instead, I'm going to continue being her friend, and try to be the best friend I can - despite my own shortcomings - because that's the right thing to do. She isn't a "poor, deluded, illogical woman". She's just human. I can't fault her for that.

Sounds like you have one hell of a chip on your shoulder.

[Individuality-ness]

I feel like the "Nice Guy" archetype see themselves as white knights in shining armor, and that if they act nice to a girl long enough, she'll eventually swoon and beg him to tear apart her dress and do it right there and then.

I dont have something to offer this discussion...

As dear Antares has pointed out regarding this "Girlfriend Zone" and "subsequent "Friend Zone" it's a tool used by their respective genders. However, it also falls into the same line of dont kick a brick wall then come complain when it hurts.

Men have one purpose in our lives... to breed. Those who say other wise have yet to experience the act out of some kind of social awkwardness or are to young to do so. that being said I have plenty of female friends and I have considered dating everyone one of them, because that's what we men do. We looked around and find those we will have the best chance for a successful relationship with by eliminating the issue of not getting along to the greatest degree possible.

Lets examine this for a moment shall we... I'll even put it into math form...

Relationship stability = Amount of similar likes and dislikes + plus time spent together/ "Trial dates"

This means that we men, while trying to prolong a possible sexual capable relationship, will naturally try and find a mate that present the smallest chance of stress through continuous contact. If our contact time shows a trend of compatibility its a green light to pursue. To this end a truly platonic relationship is only possible by those who fall to low in the compatibility department to be girlfriend material , but also high enough to remain an assets to the male in question.

When trying to compare this form of relationship scouting between "male and females" to a "male to male" relationship. One must use the correct formulas.

Male Friendship= (Aggression * Competitiveness) t! "Both factors increase at conclusion of formula and process repeats exponentially"

The Comparative Formula is below

Platonic Relationship= (Aggression - time spent together) / ( Competitiveness + Similar Likes and Dislikes.)

Oftentimes in the Platonic Relationship formula you will likely find inconsistencies resulting in the formula resulting in a negative result.

All this was said t make this point.

When a woman find a man that she legitimately likes spending time with and have a great base line relationship with decides that he would like to elevate the relationship and decides not to accept the proposal, said woman has 0 right to complain about the dipshit they eventually come to be with.

And, in the end, it is the douchebag getting laid whilst the nice guy sits at home and mopes.

Your maths is right (I think), your premise however is flawed.

Fixed
