Of course, we have all laughed at such men who tried their best to win a girl's affection, but failed miserably, leaving them feeling depressed when their romantic relationship reached a stalemate.

But seriously, just for reference, a woman can enjoy the company of a man without needing sexual stimulation - and this does not mean that she is a terrifying person.

It's time for us to board the train of modernization and realize that "friend circle" is actually a harmful concept that breeds gender discrimination. Just a simple online search can prove this.

A large number of articles are available at any time, teaching you how to escape from this fictional world. You can even find tests to check if you are in the circle of friends, as well as methods on how to break away from friendships and have sex with women.

When explained like this, it doesn't sound very reasonable, does it?

But first, let's have a little history lesson!

What Is the Friend Zone?

The term "friend zone" was first coined by the popular TV series "Friends" on November 3, 1994. Since then, it has been influencing interpersonal relationships all over the world.

This is a kind of relationship purgatory. One person develops romantic or sexual feelings for another, but their emotions receive no response.

On the contrary, they forged a Platonic friendship, which made one person feel extremely content, while the other... was not so satisfied.

How Can the Friend Zone Be Explained?

Have you heard of the Bateman principle? It is an interesting concept that focuses on the differences between males and females in all species.

From the perspective of the concept of reproduction, the number of children that a woman can give birth to is limited, while a man can have countless children.

Therefore, in heterosexual relationships, men tend to display dominance and competition in order to win over girls, while women are more likely to be picky when choosing a partner.

Surely, this principle is somewhat outdated, but this idea has been passed down from generation to generation.

Why Is The Friend Zone A Toxic Fictional Space?

"Friend circles" have become socialized to the extent that men feel they have the right to humiliate women who show no interest in them. If she doesn't take the initiative, then she's lying to you. This is unfair, isn't it? In fact, it is indeed so.

Women have the freedom to choose with whom to develop romantic or sexual relationships. In such cases, she is not the "bad person" as socially depicted. When a woman refuses or shows little interest in another person, the "friend zone" will only give the other person the right to humiliate her and turn her into a villain.

A woman owes a man nothing. That's it.

Of course, a woman can appreciate kind gestures and be flattered by a man's attention. But this does not mean that she needs to seize the opportunity to date or sleep with him just because he is friendly.

On the contrary, the "friend zone" merely normalizes and rationalizes the fact that men feel uncomfortable when women want to maintain a friendship with them, because no one likes to be insecure. Although when women are approached in a club or get whistled at on the street, they will quickly laugh or joke.

Friend, this is a two-way street. You can't always be the winner.

From a young age, we are taught to sympathize with men who are determined to win a woman's heart through all kinds of adorable gestures. Whether it's the nightly goodnight messages, the flowers sent for no reason, or the constant vigilance, those women who truly sympathize with him regard him as a knight, while his friends would laugh at him for being a coward who can't win a girl's heart.

Then, imagine the situation reversed. A woman sends an early morning message to a man every day, gives him gifts for no reason, and is always available at any time of day or night. Then she is regarded as crazy or a clingy person at the fifth stage. This seems unfair, doesn't it?

This is a way to promote more advanced, accurate and modern thinking: When a woman doesn't want to have a romantic or sexual relationship with you, to refuse is to refuse. Using all your power to "obtain" them will make you look like a sexist jerk.

So in that case, we should start accepting that the "friend circle" is just an absurd fictional story that doesn't exist in today's society, okay? What we are pursuing is gender equality based on respect, not to satisfy men's desire to be taken care of by others when they are unlucky and have a wound. It's that simple.
