Term used by the sexually frustrated to describe when their friend rejects their sexual or romantic advances, thereby leaving them with friendship and nothing "more". Also known as friendship, with the added awkwardness of you wanting to have sex with them and them not wanting to have sex with you.
Note: when used with a negative connotation, this can make you seem like a jerk who is only interested in your friend for sex; use with caution if you wish to salvage said friendship.

A term used to vilify a woman for excercising her right to say no. One day the male gender just decided that if you're friends with a woman or nice to her that she's obligated to date you and if she doesn't she's a horrible person. Women are put in the friend zone too, but society vastly ignores this fact. It's usually guys who go after extremely attractive women, and when they're rejected they think of this woman as shallow even though he himself is shallow for only pursuing women he sees as beautiful or pretty.
Bob: Wahhh! Suzy put me in the Friend Zone!
Joey: Forget her! All women are evil!
Suzy: Excuse me? Not only did I loose one of my closest friends because it turns out they were only pretending to be my friend in hopes of getting in my pants, but somehow this all makes me the villain here?

A girl makes a new friend who happens to be a guy, and he's really nice all the time and she thinks, wow, I have a really good friend. But it turns out the guy isn't interested in friendship, all he wants is to "get some".
Oftentimes, when the guy realizes that he's not going to "score" (how long that takes can vary), he suddenly drops his feigned friendship and moves on to other targets. The girl is left wondering what she did wrong to make such a good friendship fall apart, but of course what really happened was was that the girl had made the mistake of seeing the guy as a real person worthy of her friendship while the guy had only ever seen her as an object.
The guy justifies his behavior by getting together with his buddies and whining about being put in the "friend zone" so that he gets to feel like he's the victim.

What you attain after you fail to impress a woman you're attracted to. Usually initiated by the woman saying, "You're such a good friend". Usually associated with long days of suffering and watching your love interest hop from one bad relationship to another. Verb tense is "Friend-ed".
"I spent all that money on a date, just to find out she put me in the Friend Zone(said with eerie echo)."
"You know that hot girl I've been talking to? She just Friend-ed me."
"You know that hot girl I've been talking to? She just Friend-ed me."

When you are in a deep emotional relationship with a member of the opposite sex that is in all ways exactly like a romantic relationship but without the physical connection. But unlike a romantic relationship, it is prone to end at any time and start up again without the inconvenience of actually breaking up.
"We spent all our time together and I thought we were going to start dating, but suddenly she started dating someone else and now barely talks to me. I guess I was in the friend zone."
