THE RATIONAL MALE

THE RATIONAL MALE – PREVENTIVE MEDICINE

[Larry-qzes]

The moment when she friend zone you as a man, tell her NO and walk. Doing the opposite, you will be nothing more than a “sponge” for for free attention, money, and food.

[ephraimwinslow]

Being an attractive woman's male friend is like the romantic equivalent of an unpaid internship.

You get all of the responsibilities that come with a job... and NONE of the perks.

Trust me. Been there, done that, would NEVER choose to do it again.

(Y'know what's funny? The exact second you decide to stop doing them unreciprocated favors, is the same second they stop talking to you. Almost like you were only ever a convenience that she fully intended to discard.)

[steventogami]

Reality is if the woman does not get the ‘tingles’ at first meeting, the guy will never get out of the ‘friend zone’.

[suhasvigneshwar]

If she says she wants to be "just friends", negotiate for FWB.. If she blocks u or becomes silent, just kick her out of your life

[hamidousy]

Being friends with women is something I always avoided in my life. There is no use to me. None at all.

[mauricegleason]

It’s not always the guy wanting a “friendship”, I’ve had plenty of women wanting to be friends and they all cheated on their boyfriends. Men and women are never just friends.

[truthoverall]

Your attention is CURRENCY and shouldn't be given to just anybody!

[theaspiringactor]

I think regardless of having the friendship intention, women will still view the man as a man and expect the treatment they would from the man as if they were dating without the intention to give them sex or anything more. So expecting to get meals paid for, listen to their complaining, only hang out if the guy asks and not vice versa, listen about other guys, but not do the same back.

[bigneiltoo]

A good strategy to avoid the friend zone is to just ask her if she wants to go make out. If she says no, you don't hang out anymore.

[JohnSmith-hvks]

A pretty woman who's single is someone passed arouned by chads and tyrones.

[xxlaumic]

It only works if they are ABSOLUTELY not each other's type but if she looks like the girls the guy hooks up with then he will get the idea every now and then and vice versa. Sometimes she tells you he's a friend but "forgets" to tell you they hooked up once or that he tried to.

[izzykazoo]

Women just want to extrapolate financial resources and protection without the reciprocation of sex.

[josephmendez]

I agree with Mike here, I have lots of women friends who I wouldn't want a relationship with and that I'm not trying to get in their pants. Small town friends. A farmer, she brings me produce and I am happy to drive her to concerts. I'm having a friendsgiving with a 57 year old woman bringing good food. A local musician that has payed me to be her merch guy. (which is fun and allows me to meet more women).

That being said, I'm not afraid to hit on a girl I find attractive and rejection is the largest red flag to show she isn't worth my time in a romantic sense. I hit on the musician, she rejected me, and now she knows I wouldn't date her seriously in any sense. She got over her ego, I got over mine and we both still find useful utility in our friendship.

[bx]

The couples I've seen most often used to be 'friends' before dating. Women keep orbiters at a close distance even when committed; those guys are waiting in line."

[hoboi]

Once you realize how limited your attention is, you’ll never get it to just anyone

[matthewgregg]

This poor guy in the blue shirt is hopelessly lost. Hopefully he figures it out.

[hawleygriffin]

I have a theory that the reality for most average men is that they don't know what it's like to have someone care about them. As a man, you aren't allowed to complain, you're just expected to "soldier on" without expectations. Rarely, the average guy will end up in a situation where he comes in contact with a woman on a regular basis either at work, the gym, or volunteer work, and after enough time has passed and seeing the guy operate in a variety of situations, she feels comfortable enough let her guard down and display kindness or a caring attitude toward that guy. The guy will see that kind treatment from that woman as "special, " because in the rest of his life he's not seeing any kindness. It's common for a guy in this situation, to catch feelings. For a large percentage of the male population, the invisible, average guys, it's extremely difficult to be frequent contact with an attractive woman who is kind towards them, and not catch feelings. It's NOT that he just wants sex from her. Maybe that's the way it works for the top 4.5% who get to "next" girls endlessly. Maybe those guys just want sex from her. But the average guy is attracted to the kindness and caring. He's finally met someone who seems to care about him, something that he's not getting anywhere else, and he wants to try and hang on to it. Of course the woman will not see her behavior towards him as "special" because she's kind and caring towards all of her friends. When guys get together it's about the event. They're going to the game, they're running a 10K on Saturday, or playing 18. It's about the event. When women get together with their friends it's about social and emotional connection. So when a woman makes the same social/emotional connection with a guy, particularly an average guy, he's seeing the behavior he would only get from a wife or a girlfriend. She just doesn't understand the desert of attention that average guys exist in. I think it's very hard for guys to be friends with women. The guys with options just want to smash and the guys with no options (if there's any attraction) hope she's their rare shot at a relationship.

[RagnarHoff]

Also worth mentioning that if you have found that one girl you share a powerful bond with. I mean, something powerful such as saving her life, going through tough times together, same problematic past etc, men needs to leave asap. I've been through it and it fucks you up real good when you have that emotional connection. She's not gonna sleep with you, she has other men for that. She only needs you for emotional support and when she's alone during the christmas holidays.
Sharing a bond with a woman only means validation for her. They lack empathy when it comes to playing with men's feelings.

[nabzy]

ALWAYS remember the phrase: 'paying attention'. It is NOT random. It is not a throw away saying. As a man, your ATTENTION is desired because you are productive and can bring value to any situation. Never give it away to a westernized wmn for free.

[alexandrodisla]

I was the gf pf this girl for 4 years. He is absolutely right. Now I don’t do that shit no more.
