Let me tell you how fucked up this thinking is. It is still that person’s decision to choose who to date, and all relationships should be a two way street, not one feeling like they’re forced into it because the other is “such a good person, you should totally date me.” If the rejected person cannot be just friends, then that person needs to completely walk away.As for the job comparison, still the employer’s choice to make, instead of being forced to choose the self proclaimed “best one for the job.” I guarantee you that an employer forced to hire someone they don’t want to, is going to make the job experience horrible for everyone involved, and the business will crash and burn.The only time I will ever agree that the friend zone exists is when a person treats another in nearly every way like a significant other- calls on them for help all the time, flirts incessantly, has cutesy nicknames, too much physical contact and flirting, and even sexual relations- but doesn’t actually call them their significant other. Case in point, the way Scarlett Johansson’s character treated the real estate agent in the movie “He’s Just Not That Into You.” That was actual friend zone, and mind gaming, and complete bullshit. But guess what? Spoiler alert, HE WALKED AWAY! He called her out on her bull, and walked away from the entire friendship, because in reality, that wasn’t even friendship, that was codependency manipulation. In conclusion, boys and girls, the friend zone doesn’t exist. Get over it.And to top it all off, this picture was posted by a guy who every time he gets dumped, or he learns that I’m single, he doesn’t leave me the fuck alone, and I have to ignore his constant messages, and phone calls. I have never treated him as anything more than a friend- I actually go out of my way to not ask his advice on things that normal friends would ask for in a normal friendship. Why? Because I know this guy would take that bit of dependency and run around claiming that I am friend zoning him. Mind you, he’s never asked me out, but he also won’t stop complimenting me, and flirting with me. WHAT THE FUCK, PEOPLE?!A/N: I know, I need to reevaluate my friendship with him due to these irritations. Please don’t try to lecture me. I am pointing out the flaws in the friend zone argument, and point out the damn hypocrisy if it all. That’s the main goal of this post. -- source link
