I'm not sure I agree with you that the "friendzone" concept necessarally implies a deminished value to friendship in comparison to romance or sex. I would view them more as parrallel tracks, as I assure you that some of those in my "friendzone" are way more important to me than most women that have been in my "sexytimezone."

I thought that's exactly what she's implying. That the value of true friendship is incomparable to mere sex or even romance, for that matter. The latter can of course be wonderful things, but they are brief and sticky (in more ways than one); love for a friend is fulfilling in ways that even the wettest sapphistry could never touch!

Women don't understand that men don't want to fuck them because they're special, men want to fuck them because they have a vagina. If chicks knew this, they would know how to enter the brozone.

Wasn't there a whole thread on this and a video from some guy walking around the University of Utah campus or something asking guys if they'd fuck their friends that were girls?
I remember some pretty shocked looking girls when their guy friends said they'd fuck them lol.

Yeah exactly. Women are fucking morons about this shit. And nobody wants to be friends with a moron, hence why chicks don't get friendzoneded. Lolololol.

My read was that she was indicating that the existance of the friendzone suggests friendship is viewed as being of lesser value. I agree that it isn't of lesser value, which I'm sure she would also argue; however, I disagree that having two "zones" automatically means one is better than the other.

Probably true, but I think a lot of men consider the friendzone to be lesser no matter what. Probably the opposite for a lot of girls.
Do you consider the friendzone to be of lesser value, Clifford?

No. I think both are equally rewarding, obviously in different ways. A lot less drama in the friendzone.
I am not going to go into details but I have friendzoned a girl before who then tried to jump. I think its a strange occurrence for either sex, the jumping that is. Most people I think feel that if they have put someone else in that category then it must be obvious for the other person as well where they stand, which is probably never the case.
