Buridan's Friendzone

The stage of a friendzone where you cannot tell with all of your head if (s)he wants to be your boy/girlfriend or if you are their best friend forever. This goes on forever

It comes from the phrase "Buridan's ass which is a donkey that cannot decide between two equal things that are equal distances and the donkey cannot choose and therefore dies of hunger.

Friendzone

The true Friendzone, is a place of great anxiety that forms when two friends grow close beyond conventional platonic friendship.

This Friendzone is a stressful and awkward place where both parties want more than friendship, but are afraid to take it further due to the risk of losing the friendship they cherish.

Relationships that start from this Friendzone, generally end with a life long love, or the loss of a cherished friend.
On rare occasion the relationship can revert back to a friendship if it does not work out like was hoped.

Some times this true Friendzone is caused by inconvenient relationship status, where one of the parties involved is single while the other is in a relationship and unable to reciprocate any confessed feelings.
Alex and Reagan have been friends for almost 15 years, all their friends know they are in love but neither of them has worked up the courage to step out of that friendzone.

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."

I can't believe that that girl has left me in the Friendzone. What a b*tch, she won't find anyone as nice and respectful as me. Slut.
