The McIntyre Effect is a condition that effects teens through young adults. It begins when an attractive person decides to talk to someone for the sole purpose of friendship. As the relationship continues, the friend of the attractive one starts to catch feelings which are unreciprocated. If they are reciprocated, then they don’t have this condition. Once the McIntyre Effect is taking place, aside from the friend being banished to the friendzone , one of two things happen. A) The friend gets their head on straight and is able to move on feelingwise from the attractive one and the friendship continues. Or B) The friend becomes hung up on them and the friendship inevitably ends. There are other possibilities, however the chance of the, occurring are little to none.
