    Isn’t it hilarious that women VASTLY PREFER dating strangers than from within their own social sphere? The phenomenon of "But we’re friends! is a cliche for a reason.

          Okay, so the latter.

          Just because a cliché exist does not mean it’s actually true. People that are complaining about a lot on the Internet are maybe more likely to spend too much time on the Internet in general and by that are more likely to have a lack of social skills in the real world.

          To counter that anecdotally: in my social circle a lot couples spawned from a previous social connection and there are only a few that meet through dating apps or where a random hook up in the first place.

          Women turn down men they’re not attracted to. This has nothing to do with how long they’ve known each other. There is no such thing as the friend zone, just the you-are-not-attractive zone.

          Turning down people isn’t something bad. It’s worse to end up with someone who don’t fit.

          Friendzone though is most often just not having guts to say that loud and clear.

          Maybe they turn down men they already considered and rejected? Strangers are still being considered.
