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!"

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.

Scott finally told Nicky how he felt about her but, she admitted she liked him too, but had to turn him down at the time because she was in a relationship.

A term used to stigmatize women (and some men) for not having reciprocate feelings towards a male that likes them in a sexual or romantic way.
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.
