I don't intentionally friendzone women. Like someone else said, I use it as a soft rejection. Usually women who I end up friends with, I either value for reasons or outside of sex, or I have already had sex with them, and for whatever reason, don't want to continue doing so. For instance, I have a few plates right now and I really like the one girl... she's been bringing up boyfriend/girlfriend **** for the past month. Another plate is super cool, and I like fvcking her, but she's very masculine in her behavior and isn't as girly as I'd like. I don't think I could date her, so if I commit to the other plate, this one will be kept as a friend (provided she can handle it, she's starting to bring up exclusivity, too).
I actually have a couple of close female friends already, but that have led very strange and interesting lives and aren't like typical women; they're much more masculine. I've fvcked all of them except one. I do think sometimes there is sexual attraction going both ways, but it's more like we've realized that we're just not compatible romantically, for whatever reason. But, that doesn't mean we don't have a lot in common. It's usually female athletes or artists that I become friends with; I train two sports and also am involved in my city's art scene, so I meet women through that and then there is a lasting connection since we bounce ideas off of each other and admire one another's athletic or artistic abilities.
I mean that's the way my one friend explained it to me, which I mostly agree with. But, in my eyes, I have to add that these female friends are usually attractive enough to fvck, but usually don't compare to my plates, so I just keep them as friends.
Women as friends expand your social circle. I've got no problem with it. I just don't intentionally seek out women as friends... they typically just end up there.
