Man 2 might be an a**hole but I can't say he's not down to earth.

MAN 2 Alas, in the vast majority of cases when a woman says "let's just be
friends" it's the kind of friendship where you don't actually do any friend-
like things. It just means "if I see you in a bank line I'll say hello and, as
an added bonus, I won't say bad things about you to all the single
women I know as long as you make sufficient and demonstrated effort to
stay out of my life."

It does not legitimately mean that. When a girl says she just want's to be friends, think to yourself, you may not have won her heart, but you've won her friendship. She will want you a little bit in her life but give her space and make sure you have other options, don't become a "friendzone boy" or that creepy guy, otherwise she may never want to talk to you again.

Please, let focus on other parts other than the friendzone things (there are millions of threads about this already), there are new interesting parts in the link.

Or, you could just not become friend and not waste your time on her or any other woman who want to become "friends".

If a girl want to be friends with me after a rejection, i tell her to go f**k herself. I didnt go out with her to become her friend nr 234987234927948723947 - for me, its all or nothing - i already have genuine REAL female friends that i share interests with.

Spot lights go dark then fade up on MAN 2 and MAN 1

MAN 1 [hands covering face, distraught] I don't know what happened...

MAN 2 It flamed out, didn't it? I mean there were so many "good signs"! The phone calls from her at 2 in the morning. The weekly e-cards from her featuring pictures of bears holding balloons and hugging each other. She baked you cookies. She donated you AB negative blood. She kept touching your leg while driving and laughing at everything you said. And then she just dropped off the face of the earth. Later you get an email from her saying she's married a guy in the naval reserve named Eugene and thanks for being such a good friend. What happened? Well, friend, you assumed these "good signs" were good signs. You failed to realize any GOOD SIGN can always be interpreted in the context of her treating you like a good friend. AND NOTHING MORE. Oh, there are bad signs. Those are generally easy to spot and there's lots of 'em. Court orders, calls from her brother the Green Beret telling you to back off, and your ecards to her featuring pictures of bears holding balloons and hugging each other don't get read for 2 weeks and when they do get read you don't even get a "thanks for the card that was so cute!" email back. Yeah. Frankly, friend, there's only one good sign. Full frontal nudity. Anything else, you're just fooling yourself.

MAN 1 Sigh.

MAN 2 Let's get drunk. You buy.

Liked that part, so true.

MAN 2 My method is easy and you can accomplish it in one step: Give the man you're interested in the faintest impression that he has a dim hope with you. If a man is at all attracted to you, he'll do all the rest. If he's not attracted to you, no effort on your part is ever going to change that fact.

Men... :roll:

[does whiney woman voice] "only losers try to pick me up! Where are all the nice guys?" and yet they make it seem like the very act of approaching them is a violation of their friggen human rights.

Sounds familiar

Also, something I found really interesting, although not related at all to love and dating:

Quote:

MAN 2 I'm not scared of death.

MAN 1 Bull crap.

MAN 2 It's true. I went to the dentist last year and he put me under the gas. One moment I'm in the dentist's chair and counting backwards from ten. The next thing I know I'm being woken up and told the procedure was done. Something like an hour passed but as far as I knew, no time had passed. There was zero perception during that hour. I got to thinking that's what death is like, except you're under the gas forever. It's nothing more than a deep, dreamless sleep from which you never wake up.

MAN 1 Sounds horrible.

MAN 2 Why does that sound horrible?

MAN 1 Because you're dead.

MAN 2 What's so bad about being dead?

MAN 1 As you said, it's the cessation of all thoughts, feelings, pleasures. It was like working for that dot.com.

MAN 2 What's so bad about a cessation of thought and feeling?

MAN 1 Dude, why do I have to keep coming back to this? You're dead!

MAN 2 You're arguing in circles. Think a second: before you were born, you experienced no thoughts, no feelings, no pleasures. Weren't you technically dead for millions of years before you were conceived? You didn't seem to mind then.

I wasn't able to read the whole thing. I really don't like drama.

Also I got the impression that whoever wrote it had an agenda, and the play was just a way to break up a long and bitter monologue.

I don't think I've ever been "friendzoned" in that way that is abusive. I always appreciated having female friends if I could get them. Maybe it is because I drop the idea of dating someone unless I get some sort of confirmation that she is sincerely interested (I hate drama). I guess I don't give anyone unreciprocated feelings to abuse. Although, I have had a very unhealthy and very short relationship before.

There's always an agenda, even if that agenda is merely to inform.
