The "friendzone" is indeed a place of Hell on Earth, often for the man who “tries to do the right thing” by being a gentleman and respecting a woman’s choice of who she wants to date.
In the friendzone, he will become her friend when she rejects him because he believes that if he does so, she will eventually recognize what a great guy he is and “come around”. She will want him to be around, her confidant and patsy who she can spend time doing most of the things that she would do with a boyfriend except for those duties that are fulfilled in a sexual manner. She would also like her car fixed, repairs on her house and generally anything that a capable and worthwhile man can do. Why not? He’s usually offering it. Many women know that the reason the man is doing this is because he likes her, which is what pisses off some hetero males and makes them condemn all women as being shallow and selfish bitches. However, this is certainly not true of all women as some fall for the dishonesty of a man who is not sharing his true motives.
In some cases, the man could be a gentleman who truly wants to give her an opportunity to get to know him and how he would treat her if they were otherwise a couple. However, there is often a bigger lie on the man’s part, as he is really being her friend for the ultimate payoff of a romantic relationship and deep down he knows this isn’t likely to happen; yet he continues on behaving otherwise since he believes she is worth the pain and self-sacrifice.

An excuse that Nice Guys use to be a prick because they can't handle rejection from women. They seem to have an aversion to friendship, seeing as they can't accept that the woman in question still wants to be their friend despite the fact that they're pretty shitty people.
They also enjoy acting like women have never been rejected before to justify their whining.

A mythical place where men claim to be when they can't get a woman they like to have sex with them. Many of them believe that being nice to a girl is pre-payment for sex, and if she rejects your advances then she's a bitch. They believe for some reason that the only reason they should be kind to a woman is so they can get into her pants.
Many of the 'friendzonees' claim to be nice gus, though really they just have a bad case of Nice Guy Syndrome, and awful disease where one believes that pretending to be your friend in order to get into your pants in a reasonable way to act. When they are rejected because they're "too nice", they bitch and moan and cry to the god of fedoras. He always concludes that women like to be treated like shit, despite the fact that he is dehumanizing them and treating them as objects to be won over by his 'niceness'.

Anna: Why do guys always assume that I owe them sex because they're nice to me?
Samantha: I don't know, Anna. It seems a bit dehumanizing of them.
Anna: Yeah, and I have a boyfriend too...
George: Why won't she date me? I guess it's because I'm too nice, and not because I'm a boring asshole with no hobbies, no common interests and I'm overweight! No, it's probably because I'm the nicest guy ever. What a bitch!
Ian: Yeah I know man... I got friendzoned by this girl I knew for two years... She said it's not because I'm ugly and unattractive, but because she doesn't want to ruin our friendship! Stupid bitch, she obviously wants to be treated like shit!
