I’ve seen a lot of guys actually give the friendzone thing a chance, “hey, I’ll make a new friend, cool”. Here’s what usually happens though, for a year or less it will be one of the most intense relationships ever. The woman will purposely make it feel like a relationship (daily contact, “dates”, favors, etc) everything BUT the physical part. Maybe a hug or they’ll kiss the guy on the cheek, but everything else is exactly like a relationship. Then oneday she becomes distant. The guy doesn’t know what’s going on so he pursues harder trying to “fix it”, then she does the “I need some space, some time, need to step back”. See, this whole time she was lining up her next actual boyfriend but the guy was so focused on her that he didn’t move on. Now she’s cut off the fake friendship they he went in with good intentions and invested a lot into. She manipulated him to invest in it, but she never did which is why she can step back from it at the drop of a hat. If this don’t black pill a guy, nothing will. I’ve seen this happen countless times, lucky I’ve never had it happen to me. Which is why you never never never accept to be friends with a woman. I just gave you an example of why they make **** friends.
