'Get out of the friend zone' screams this video, which explains a few simple rules about what makes a boy a 'friend' or a potential 'boyfriend'. (And boys, the video is designed to help you move from the first category to the other.) I hate it. I think that half of what she complains about is okay. Plus, I hate the idea that being 'just friends' just doesn't work! Can't a boy and a girl be 'just friends'? But then... it's been more than a few years since I dated! So put me in the picture with your comments!
(PS. The video is part of a YouTube series that deals with body image, relationship issues and stuff like that. Let me know if you like them or if you think I should erase the link for some reason. Thanks.)

LOL! haha this girl is very crazy, but I think what she says is VERY true.
ReplyDeleteI had already heard about the "friend zone", and I agree with her. Well, I disagree with her in just one thing: there's nothing bad in having a friend of the opposite sex. Maybe, she can help you with the one you really love, and talk with her about other things. Girls think in a very different way, and you can learn a lot about them by having a girl friend. Anyway, this is just my mere opinion.
The rest of things she says are true. It is nearly impossible to get out of the friend zone, and it is good for all the boys to know this. Maybe a boy can build his hopes up when a girl talks a lot to him, and he doesn't know about the existence of the friend zone: he can get very disappointed when she tells him she's not interested at all. Moreover, their friend relationship will be broken. You can try it, but it's easier to look for another girl than trying to make a friend fall in love with you.
Please upload more videos related to this subject. They're very interesting, and boys won't waste so much time trying impossible things xD !

the friend zone is a very interesting part of male and female relationships as I think it isn't really acknowledged and talked about so for that reason I think that this video is very useful.
ReplyDeleteAlso I believe this is particularly interesting and informative for boys as I have come to the conclusion over my short life that boys are completely unaware of about 90% of relationship issues and need a bit of help (such as this video) On the other hand I don't see why you should be so desperate to avoid having friends that are girls as you can only have one girlfriend at a time but you can have many friends at once. So, contrary to the opinion of the girl on the video, I believe the friend zone isn't negative as you have more friends, of a different sex which expands your horizons and gives you different points of view that you wouldn't get from your male mates.
however, just to add a final point, if you really like a girl you would do well to watch the video again as it has some useful tips!!

It is not the first time I have heard of this but as I thought before, I agree with her but for one thing. Having a friend of different sex is normal, possible and obviously true. I mean, maybe animals don't but I want to think we are animals very evolved over others. So, I think having a male friend or female friend is completely acceptable. It won't be the same friend as if it is from the same sex but it would be a friend...
ReplyDeleteTruly, its difficult to leave the "friendzone" as she says but it's not bad at all having friends. What could be bad is if you fall in love with someone of the friendzone. However, we can't generalize and there are exceptions as in everything.
Anyway, I completely agree with Jack in seeing this video for some advice.
This type of discussions are very common in deed!!! I really like the video not only because of the discussion, but also because of the expressiveness of this girl! Her face is constantly changing throughout the video, showing her feelings and transmitting her opinion to the viewers!
ReplyDeleteI am with her. It's impossible to leave the friendzone, unless you've been a friend for vey little time. Otherwise, I can assure once a boy or girl sees the other as a friend, feelings cannot change from friendship to love. I like a lot her advice when dating someone and I think it's going to be helpful for many boys who have little experience in dating girls. However, not all girls think the same as the one in the vid. In my opinion, I think the advice she gives to boys matches what I think also guys should be like!
Like Jack and Santi say, it's not so bad to be in the friendzone, you can have a lot of fun without necessarily dating the other person. An I also think there's no problem with having a boy or girl as a friend. I really hate those people who think that if you have a friend of the opposite sex it's you're boyfriend or girlfriend.
I have never heard about the frienzones, but I have watched this video and I have arrived to the conclusion as Jack said that these friendzones are a very interesting of the relationship between females and males.
ReplyDeleteI think that some people need help in having a relationship so videos (like these one) can help them in having different relationships with persons of a different sex.
Also I think that the friendzone is not such a bad thing because you can have more friends of different sex and also from the same sex and these can help you to have more points of view from different people.
In conclusion I think these friendzones are useful but have to be used with precaution because not everybody is who they say they are...
