Being stuck in the friendzone means that you aren't able to have more than a friendly relationship with that special someone you are attracted to. However, it is wrongly perceived as a state that only males can go through. As a female, I can assure you that women can also be friendzoned.
Cassandra : Guess what, John? I have been friendzoned by Peter, my GUY friend.
John: I thought only males could go through such a phase?
Women all around the world : You thought wrong, John.

Women all around the world : You thought wrong, John.

A man who’s trapped himself in the insidious Bermuda Triangle where being completely friend-like around women has lead to him being friends with them (SHOCK)!

The premium version of friendzone. Reserved for specific cases where someone in a relationship can't date but they still try anyway. Then the other person starts treating them less and less like someone special and eventually starts to flat out ignore them. Even worse if the person thinks it's completely their fault for not being good enough and devolves into being constantly lonely and never feeling anything but hopeless and useless. They just turn into "some kid who she used to want."
a: did you hear that some kid kissed some girl
b: i thought some kid wasn't allowed to date
a: well it doesn't matter now she won't respond to him at all
b: damn, he's in the friendzone+

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.
