I listened to a little bitch cry about being friend zoned earlier today and I had to fight the urge to murder him in the street.

I decided to watch the original Death Wish (1974) straight after watching the new Bruce Willis one. I 'm a bit torn on which one is the absolute best though, Charles Bronson just goes wholesale whereas Bruce Willis was more targeted in who he took out. Only 4 more to go!
Not seen the Willis one, but the takeaway lesson from the Bronson series is: Don't be related to Charles Bronson.

Ah, yes, that old chestnut, when people are upset about being "friendzoned", it's because they were just after sex. I disagree. Most of the time, it's people who do actually want a relationship in the "right"/normal sense, they thought that's what they had or were heading towards, and they're not equipped to cope with finding out that's not true.

Now in Rhyno's case, yes, they probably are a terrible person, because RhynoAssociate.txt, but I reckon a lot of these "friendzone" situations are a result of socially awkward young men being taught stuff by the social zeitgeist/pop culture that "this is how you interact with women", except it's complete and utter bollocks which no one corrects them on, and then when they can't work out for themselves that it doesn't "work" because it's bullshit, some helpful soul pops up to tell them they're shitbags who just want sex.

We'd have less of a problem with this, and with the related "nice guy", incel, and pick-up artist shite, if we just played it straight with people about this stuff. Do what you enjoy, maybe someone who also enjoys it will turn up. If you have good friends, you'll find you aren't really missing out on much in life and indeed may well have it better than being in a relationship.

It's just such a loving simple concept you would think it's not something you need to tell men. The friendzone doesnt loving exist. No one owes you sex. No means No.

But yet here we are, incels exist and idiots blather on about friendzone and how "nice guys dont get the girl waaaaaaaaaa waaaaaaaaa". Here's a loving hint, you aren't a nice guy if you think friendzoning exists and you think there should be an expectation of getting laid because *reasons*.

Actually, just found something from late last year that summed up my feelings here...

" Women do NOT owe you anything. It doesnt matter how well you think you have treated someone, how long they have cried on your shoulder, how often you have gone out with them for coffee or whatever, they do NOT owe you anything in return. I see this with the moronic Incel movement of ppathetic idiots thinking they are owed sex. gently caress YOU, NO YOU ARE NOT OWED ANYTHING you goddamn loving idiot. If you think you have been friendzoned .... okay gently caress that there is no such thing as a friendzone, you are either going to respect her wishes or you are not a friend at all. If she doesnt want you for more than a shoulder to lean on..... well get the gently caress over it mate she doesnt owe you a drat thing and you can either stop being a complete idiot and treat her with the respect she deserves and BE HER FRIEND or you can just gently caress off.

Respect her boundaries. See above. Do not cross a line she has set up. "

Still true right now

There was this clown at the Dreammakers thing yesterday who was loudly denouncing all women as whores because he had been friendzoned. It was just awkward and terrible and I was getting a little drunk so we had to leave before I made a scene.

I would have had a hard time not loudly denouncing him as a loving idiot.

I figured out pretty early that if you're seeing someone and you don't want the same things out of the relationship you just move on and don't take it loving personally. These kind of idiots are too self absorbed to have any kind of perspective, so if they want to wallow and suffer in their own ignorance let them they deserve it.

I agree 100%. But I was with some friends that I don't get to see very often and I didn't want to make a huge scene. I'm sure they all agree with me on the issue but when I go HAAM in public it gets ugly and I didn't want to embarass them.

The clown show of IndyCar racing just hit a new high.

The pace car driver lost control coming into the straight... fishtailed with no correction... then binned it right into the wall.

The race couldn't start and they've had to bring out a backup pace car.

I've never seen anything so comical in 30+ years of watching racing.
