The man, like so many others in the US, has a really bad understanding of free speech and people's rights. Yes, Donald Sterling absolutely has the right to be an old racist in his home. That's why he's allowed to be one and isn't dragged off to prison. However, that does not make him immune from criticism or…

When you write about video games for a living, you're occasionally faced with the launch of a game so big that even…
Sad Investor? Seriously, it doesn't GET much creepier than that you fedora wearing Nice Guy(tm). Did you just compare a girl to a vase?? Seriously? And now she's "broken" because she likes another guy, one who actually treats her like a human being and not a cardboard cutout?
Here's the cold hard truth about "The Friend Zone": all that's happened is that this person doesn't want to date you or sleep with you. That's it. There's no malice involved. You're not being exiled, tricked, toyed with, kept on "the friend ladder" or any other horseshit, she's just not into you the way you're into…
BUT...on some level, Billy Crystal was right in When Harry Met Sally. Once you bring sexual attraction or romantic interest into it, platonic friendship is impossible.
The first letter brought me back to the "nice guy" article in which Dr. Nerd Love makes the distinction between a nice guy and a good guy. A nice guy is one who makes a passive attempt to woo a female by doing nice things. A good guy is someone who genuinely does those nice things because it's in his nature. I'm not…
I agree with everything except the "bullshit" part. Her friendship isn't "bullshit" suddenly just because she doesn't want to date you. You might need some time away from her to get over your feelings (just because the friendzone doesn't exist doesn't mean it doesn't hurt to be rejected), but if you really can value…
The friend-zone only exists because we allow it to exist.
He's probably looking for a construct and needs to grind some bone meal, find some soul crystals, and then sacrifice an emerald dragon for that.
It actually depresses me when people will still try to defend the friendzone as a legitimate thing to complain about. They just can't get over the mentality of "Okay, I put in my Nice Guy tokens, now where is my FuckTown ticket?" Which is basically what you said, just crass.
"It encourages dudes to treat women like vending machines where if you put enough Nice Guy tokens in, eventually sex falls out."
The concept of the friendzone is the freaking worst. I've had at least four guys I've thought were my friend later confess to me and then act all indignant when I tell them that, no, I don't like them that way like it was my fault somehow. And to think I used to feel guilty about it. Look, if you like me in some…
I am acutely aware of the fact that my heart is beating. Hard.

DISCLAIMER: You may not agree with what I have to say here. What you read may piss you off. I'm fine with that. In fact, I'm so fine with it that I've decided that I won't even challenge what you reply back with. Why? I'm done arguing about this with people. I've heard your views and the reasoning you use to support…
