Friend Zone

The friend zone (also known as Bro Zone) is a soulless, God-forsaken hell-pit where lonely hearts go to die. It is one of the oldest and most common traps that women set up to trick gullible losers and neckbeards into an eternity of mental enslavement. The stage is set for the friend zone when the woman posts ZOMG SO KAWAIII photos of her in her FriendSpace. But after a week, no one would still carry her to high level lords, Core Rock raid, golds and even Lucky Tickets, so she will cry over to some beta male idiot about how she really wants them and would LOVE whoever would help her get those stuff. Thus, you spend your hard earned golds you were saving up for your tier 2 Star Circle to give her gold or buy lucky tickets for her hoping to get repaid with some teabag action or a simple fellatio.

Instead, all you get is "Oh thanks, I love you! You're so sweet!" Once those words are uttered, you may as well jump into the Atlantic.

...and instead of having tier 7 Star Circle, you now have nothing.

The Trap

Risque research team has concluded that the friend zone is a trap. A trap consists of a girl feigning interest in some vulnerable beta male.

Part 1 (the mindfuck): She will start flirting with the guy until he shows visible signs of becoming hopelessly in love with her. When the guy starts to flirt back, she will suddenly ignore him, causing uncertainty which will make him think he's "going too fast" so he will back down. She will then repeat the same thing ad nauseam.

Part 2 (the milking): During the now unbreakable cycle, she will tell him all her angst and bullshit while saying lies to keep him interested:

"Thanks for listening, you are such an angel."

"Why can't more guys be like you?"

"You're so cute!"

"I luv u"

"You are like a brother to me"

"I am so like Healia, I have such lousy taste in men. Why can't I meet more guys like you?"

Part 3 (the ensnarement): When she's got you believing the lies she's spinning like a broken record and she STILL has you doing bitch chores while you are constantly head over heels for her, you have just entered the ensnarement stage, where most guys who get toyed with the beginning of the friend zone process are whipped and chained for almost an eternity.

Basically, this is near to the point of no return because it has come to a point where you are willing to give her ANYTHING and most of the time overdo it. You are tired from the game? I'll send you money to go on vacation! While you are sitting at home eating instant noodles, she's rolling in your cash while having a threesome with American expats that look like Calvin Klein models in Boracay. And what does she give you in return? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. She won't even send you a picture of her with her clothes on for God's sake.

When He Asks Her Out

When a guy actually gains the courage to ask her out she will keep him in by just saying "I'm not ready for a relationship right now", or "I'm not entirely sure of my own feelings" (hinting that there might be hope later), and thus the cycle continues.

Is there hope?

NO. There is no hope. You have a better chance of single-handedly bringing peace to the Middle East than breaking free of the friend zone and dating her. Contrary to what compliments she has given you, she would rather take a .357 magnum to the head than to even think about actually screwing you.

I'm stuck! How do I get out?

Well, the first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem. Just like when you admitted to jacking off to that female mystic toon, you have finally taken the first step to admitting you are one gullible dumbass who is an embarrassment to the male gender. So to get out, follow these steps:

Falcon punch

1. Falcon punch to her cunt.

2. Get it in your head that you got played like a fiddle, and you must forget about her.

3. Don't talk to her ever again. Communicating with her will compromise your chances of getting out.

4. Block her from your friends list.

5. Set your Discord as offline.

6. Rape her in the ass because she is asking for it.

7. If possible, burn her house down.

8. Change your ign.

9. Really, don't ever talk to her again!

10. Quit the game.

There you have it. Before you dwell into online dating, be vigilant and avoid stuff that will lead you to always being stuck in the friend zone because if you are caught off guard, you will surely attain the incurable "permavirgin" status.
