When you succeed to make a big play or gesture to impress someone, yet the romantic relationship does not occur.
Olivia Munn flirted with John Mulany while he was in rehab, but once he left his wife, Olivia endzone friendzoned him by opting to "dial things back."

A place where women exploit beta males they consider to be weak, subservient lapdogs at best, or a slave at worst. It used to mean going to the mall to go shopping with a girl for a purse and an outfit she can wear on her date that night, but since nobody goes out anymore it's basically emotional support in the form of a text buddy/pen pal, or financial support via CashApp/Venmo.
It is common for women to deny the friend zone exists because they benefit 100% from the equation and stand to lose something if the guy walks away. Ironically, women shame men for claiming men are not "owed sex" (implying there was a nefarious plot all along and discounting the fact men can slowly grow to fall in love with a woman and are walking away for that reason, not ownership of her body), but also shame them for walking away, missing the irony that they are not "owed friendship". Men can only be virtuous while they stay firmly entrenched in their utility place.
It's worth noting that while women deny it's existence and play dumb, know exactly how to hit a guy below the belt and make their words sting as much as possible.

"Hey Alfred, I'm going on a date with Jose Consuelo in 5 hours! Wanna come to the mall me with an help me try on some outfits!? YES!! Omg you are my bestie, I wish I could find a guy like you who wasn't my heterosexual but gay best friend!"
"Man, she invited me to go shopping with her again! Do you think this is a date?"
"Bro, stfu, you're in the friendzone!"

Some obscure place where you are sent when nobody loves you back. Full of spiders and dangers. Not cool at all.

Karen: Sorry Dan, I dont love you back (sad face) But we can be frie-

Dan: (falling into the dark) Oh well, it seems like I'm falling into the friendzone

You're not good enough to fuck me but you can do things for me and validate me... And if you don't accept inferiority you're dehumanizing me. This isn't emotional blackmail.
Hym "You're not more emotionally intelligent than anyone and the fact that you and society have been able to successfully emotionally blackmail men into being friends with you isn't evidence of anything. Why? Because they don't have a choice! If they AREN'T willing to be to be your friend they are ACTIVELY DEHUMANIZING YOU! And you can't dehumanize women so... There. They have to settle for the shit-relationship (and they would upgrade to the good relationship if they could) or else they are dehumanizing women. ADDITIONALLY! If your guy friends are inbetween relationships or are hooking up, it isn't really the same as being alone now is it? And those studies showing the sexual satisfaction of lesbians proves me right again. Lesbians are just women pretending to be fat cocks. Do they use dildos? Are they big-fat-cock sized dildos? I'm correct again.

I've addressed this already. And you mock Jordan Peterson but the political conflict between you is nothing more than 'I KNOW WHAT'S BEST FOR MY DAUGHTER!' and you respond 'But Daddy I'm a big girl now! I should be able to do whatever I want! Everyone should have to be fine with everything I do, forever! HUH!? OH NO! CONSEQUENCES! DADDY! Shield me from consequences! Dispose of my offspring! Make the mean man respect me!' It's embarrassing. If you're going to set the bar for dehumanization that low, that if I'm not willing to live a sexless life and be friends with women, why should I even give a shit? Why not move somewhere where people generally just give a shit less about your want and whim? Sign me up for the sex-trafficing organ-farm breeding camps. I'm already doing the dehumanizing to you by not tolerating the retard sex. Why not go all in? I'm only expendable in-so-far-as I am a hazard to YOU. So, why not just go some place where YOUR wants don't matter? Escape the all-consuming blackhole created by your choice. The friendzone."
