I really like that recontextualization at the end. Where friend zone isn't a knock down but instead an outside 3rd party that can give you insight on yourself. This can give step ahead of finding a mate as you may finally realize who is really compatible with you rather than who think is.
Girl: I like you.. but as a friend. I'm sorry.. Guy: Am i getting friendzoned? Girl: Umm yes... i think so.. Michael: *OR AM I?* **Vsauce music plays**
Naming something the friendzone is so sad because it diminishes the value of friendship. Platonic love is still very valuable and fulfilling. Plus, you can’t date everyone. If you start viewing all of your relationships as “what value can I add to their life, and what value can they add to mine?” Instead of, “why don’t they like me?” Then you start seeing life more as passive positive experiences less that the labels matter. What can you do to make your situation better? And, part of that is understanding your boundaries. People can’t be available 24/7 and you can’t be either, etc. it’s much better to have a friend or partner who is honest with things like that, too. A true loving relationship is balanced between what each person can contribute.
i don't think the problem is being "friend zoned" the one time lol, it comes from the consistent act of it, not to mention holding the bonds one already has with their friends.
You went so deep on this even though there was no reason to. Seems like you just wanted to write an essay. I already have friends. I want a girl to be even greater than a friend,someone i can confide in,talk about everything to,be one with. And if they then make me just a friend,its coz they are doing it as a last resort. Its an insult basically
Seems to be a euphemism for unrequited love or general incompatibility. The tricky thing is that it cannot progress if it's one sided, or if only one person is sexually attracted and not the other. So it's fairly common, but it shouldn't be viewed as the end of the world. Even in the most stable of long term romantic bonds, friendship represents the foundation. I think part of the solution is that we have to start valuing friendships again.
but it is not real friendship the friend zone is a place they put a guy so they can use the guy he bad guy if want to leave because he respect the woman that does not want or he is a creep for trying to get more then she want to give him
Another major problem is that people, guys especially, either believe that a relationship should happen when sexual attraction is present, *or* they confuse sexual attraction with a romantic one. People who are sexually attracted to each other can be, and often are friends
@@maximilianthomas3006 well some people chill on parties and try to forget about school. But in most *cases* you decrease the probability of getting your chances with a girl.

I finished Friends way before watching this. But that's not what this is about. Not all people have seen all things. No one was born having watched Friends. I hate people like you who say 'well it's out so doesn't matter if you're spoiled, your fault'. And then there's the improper grammar...
i never got why being in the friendzone was made out to be worse than never seeing the other person again. every romantic relationship ends in either breaking up or dying, and if in your culture you tend to have only 1 romantic partner at a time, then every single one of your relationships apart from one (if you are the first to die in a couple, or they die and you don't date again) ends in breaking up. Can't say that about friendship!
Yes, but the friendzone is worse because you suffer throughout that friendship, for the reason that you can't have what you love, or worse - you see that person loving someone else.
Friend zone is pretty easy to understand. The person likes to be around you but for some reason isn't attracted to you. That could be physically, lifestyle, some other fundamental incompatibility. So it's not something you are put into. That person offers you friendship and it's your decision to take it or leave it. The only person who puts you in the friend zone is you.
Yeah but its more insulting to a guy who has genuine feelings for a girl because whenever she eventually finds a bf he's just gonna have to sit and watch them make love from the side lines, knowing she's getting her back blown out. It's like a form of cuckoldry, it's better for his own mental state to let him go and not put him through that if she really cares about him. And the guy she chooses alot of the times treats her badly so eventually she's gets her heat broken and comes running back to mr friendzone guy but will never give him a chance. Thats like if a girl really likes a guy and they have so much fun togther and she really enjoys his company, he gives her butterflies in her stomach and she really loves him and she cooks and cleans for him, yet he ignores all that and goes to be with some trashy bimbo slut who treats him like crap, then complains about it all the time but then tells this female friend, she's so special any man would be lucky to have her yet, he would never do it and they can only be friends while he only goes after trashy women then keeps complaining about. Sounds kinda stupid doesn't it?

He's right. Not necessarily about you but the friend zone is a toxic idea that doesn't exist and more people should research it before latching onto it as an excuse for their shortcomings or lack of communication.
One thing I find concerning/funny about my experiences on dating apps is that I’m not interested in making friends because I tell myself “I don’t want any friends,” but deep down inside I know I need them.
“Mud is so boring, it’s just mud…. Or is it? You see, mud comes water mixing with dirt. And little bacteria inside that mud….” “…..which is why, fossils solidify…” “….so therefore, dinosaurs went extinct, except for birds. And as always, thanks for watching”
i think there are 2 ways you can end up in the friendzone. one is not stating your intentions in the early stages of getting to know someone meaning they never got a chance to reject you to begin with while you are still just acting just really friendly that's all you really did so they never got to see you as anything else for anything else. the other is falling in love with an already established friend who most likely doesn't feel the same because they never developed feelings for you because it's quite rare to develop feelings between already established friends. so the friendzone is in one case inevitable, the other is simply just being afraid of rejections or just lacking knowledge into how to actually approach someone with a romantic interest in mind thinking it's the same thing as making friends when it really isn't.
Well he kind of did when we went on to discuss the social statistics of how much time people spend with friends. The topic I would've thought was attraction (or lack thereof)
Yea I met this girl two years ago and she’s chill and very kind and doesn’t play hard to get. I told her how I felt about her and all she did was find it adorable. And till this day she knows that I like her but to her it’s like it’s a normal thing so we’re just really good close friends. But here’s the thing she likes some other dude sadly 😔😪. I think he’s too cocky because he likes another girl and he can’t like two girls and expect to be with my crush. My crush is going for the wrong guy. Literally because of him she got in trouble and got all her things taken away, not only that her stepdad was all up on her face screaming at her and since she was frustrated she cried for three hours long. She didn’t do nothing wrong. She got in trouble just because the dude she has a crush on kissed one her friends and she told one of the teachers through messages and her parents thought the teacher had bad intentions so it’s really the dudes fault for playing with her feelings. If he truly liked her. He wouldn’t have done what he did behind her back. They don’t even go out they’re just friends but it’s whatever. And I’m like, “Hello I’m here waiting for you to see that I’m the right guy for you.” (In my mind) But no she still likes him even though it’s his fault that her life right now sucks. 😢 I hate not being her favorite boy 😪.

Outcomes could include: - Her agreeing with you - Her Disagreeing with you - Her getting mad for a short while before things are patched up - her realising that you're a great person and maybe even leading towards feelings
I do find some potentially have another option, not quite friend zone but also not interested, buts knows your interested and uses that to their advantage.
it _is_ a good thing. who doesnt want new friends??? EDIT: in general, the friendzone is a sexist concept. if you become friends with someone bc you want them to have sex with you, that's manipulative. the friendzone puts the blame on the woman for the man's feelings. like no, you're responsible for your own feelings for someone and they dont owe you shit for liking them. women arent a vending machine where you give friendship and they give you sex. the kinds of people who complain abt the friendzone just dont see women as people. if you're genuinely friends and then you fall for someone, thats fine. you can go a couple different routes: you can keep your feelings quiet, or you can confess. both are valid. personally, i wouldnt want to risk the friendship, but to each their own. if you keep quiet about it, then you continue being their friend and that's it. if you confess and get rejected, then again, that's it. you're rejected. you can continue your friendship like before (but slightly more awkward now, probably). or you could decide that you need a break from your friendship to get over them. sometimes its just too painful to be around them but not _with_ them, so you can end the friendship. that's a valid option too. but the key here is that 1) you didnt enter the friendship in order to manipulate them into a relationship, and 2) you dont put the blame on them for not returning your feelings. its not your fault you fell for them, but its your feelings that ultimately ended the friendship. which isnt a bad thing, necessarily, but its important to acknowledge that its not their fault.
@@ponternal just because she doesn't want to fuck you, doesn't mean the friendzone is bad. She is never going to fuck you, either be friends or fuck off. She doesn't owe you anything you fuck head
@@Broxalax I agree with you im just saying that you dont owe her anything either. It is much better to move on from a girl you like than to be her "friend" and orbit her.

@Vsauce Great video as always, but I did think you left a couple things out. What I've realized from watching Love Is Blind, is that generally the couples who waited longer to have romantic relations wound up getting friend zoned much more likely than those who just went for it. I had a couple theories that may have explained it. My first was that they didn't feel romantically interested in the first place, so they put physical pursuits on the back burner. Many times, they wound up deciding it was a "mutual decision," however I think that may have either been a way to protect their own ego's, they simply believed it was true because they didn't have the expectation of exploring each other when going into the relationship, or it was a ploy for the camera's, to protect their external image. My second was that as they mentioned, they wanted to take time to develop their emotional connection before they explored a physical one, however due to the fact that they spent so much time "being friends" it wound up manifesting into only feeling platonic to one another. I also believe you left out how much physical attraction is important when being friend-zoned. If you watch the UA-cam series "The Button" you will see that almost every time you see a pair, and think "so and so is not in the other one's league" they wind up nexting them, or that person nexts the other as a defense, and every time a couple wins The Button, you notice they're a "good match" and are in each others leagues. This plays a big part in being friend-zoned. Let me know if I got any of this wrong, or slightly off. I didn't explain this in the best way I could, but I hope you can understand where I'm coming from :)
I suppose this leaves out a couple of things that I think are important in the "friendzone" issue: Good looking or not to the other person financial status

I finished Friends way before watching this. But that's not what this is about. Not all people have seen all things. No one was born having watched Friends. I hate people like you who say 'well it's out so doesn't matter if you're spoiled, your fault'. And then there's the improper grammar...
I haven’t yet...
Who gives a fuck, if you think him saying Ross getting Rachael is a spoiler you my friend need some new hobbies

It's safe to say that Micheal has transcended relationships.
Underrated comment right here bous
But what does SAFE means?
Or has he?
@@Gabbargaamada you copied my comment by 1 month
atm he's happily married and has a child
i never got why being in the friendzone was made out to be worse than never seeing the other person again.
every romantic relationship ends in either breaking up or dying, and if in your culture you tend to have only 1 romantic partner at a time, then every single one of your relationships apart from one (if you are the first to die in a couple, or they die and you don't date again) ends in breaking up. Can't say that about friendship!
Yes, but the friendzone is worse because you suffer throughout that friendship, for the reason that you can't have what you love, or worse - you see that person loving someone else.
Friendship is great if that's what you want. But if you want more and can't have it; not so great. So leaving the person is ideal.
Friend zone is pretty easy to understand. The person likes to be around you but for some reason isn't attracted to you. That could be physically, lifestyle, some other fundamental incompatibility. So it's not something you are put into. That person offers you friendship and it's your decision to take it or leave it. The only person who puts you in the friend zone is you.
Bingo, if you don’t like it don’t stick around 👍
Yeah but its more insulting to a guy who has genuine feelings for a girl because whenever she eventually finds a bf he's just gonna have to sit and watch them make love from the side lines, knowing she's getting her back blown out. It's like a form of cuckoldry, it's better for his own mental state to let him go and not put him through that if she really cares about him.
And the guy she chooses alot of the times treats her badly so eventually she's gets her heat broken and comes running back to mr friendzone guy but will never give him a chance.
Thats like if a girl really likes a guy and they have so much fun togther and she really enjoys his company, he gives her butterflies in her stomach and she really loves him and she cooks and cleans for him, yet he ignores all that and goes to be with some trashy bimbo slut who treats him like crap, then complains about it all the time but then tells this female friend, she's so special any man would be lucky to have her yet, he would never do it and they can only be friends while he only goes after trashy women then keeps complaining about.
Sounds kinda stupid doesn't it?

He's right. Not necessarily about you but the friend zone is a toxic idea that doesn't exist and more people should research it before latching onto it as an excuse for their shortcomings or lack of communication.

Yeah, that too.

Love the expectation flip at the end. Thanks Michael
One thing I find concerning/funny about my experiences on dating apps is that I’m not interested in making friends because I tell myself “I don’t want any friends,” but deep down inside I know I need them.
Good times, friends are hard anyway
Its hard to be hard to get when you are hard to want
Eivalan lmfao

@@Necrodzentelmenel1 *Vsauce music plays*
i think there are 2 ways you can end up in the friendzone.
one is not stating your intentions in the early stages of getting to know someone meaning they never got a chance to reject you to begin with while you are still just acting just really friendly that's all you really did so they never got to see you as anything else for anything else.
the other is falling in love with an already established friend who most likely doesn't feel the same because they never developed feelings for you because it's quite rare to develop feelings between already established friends.
so the friendzone is in one case inevitable, the other is simply just being afraid of rejections or just lacking knowledge into how to actually approach someone with a romantic interest in mind thinking it's the same thing as making friends when it really isn't.

Thank you for the advice

Is it my imagination or did he actually stay on topic this time.
lol
Well he kind of did when we went on to discuss the social statistics of how much time people spend with friends. The topic I would've thought was attraction (or lack thereof)
I'm surprised he didn't start talking out outer space in the middle.
I like how he goes and talk about other stuff.
But yeah he did actually not stay on topic there
Why don't you get any maidens? **Vsauce music plays**
out of all vsauce videos, this one applies to me the most
you'd think i'd know a lot more about it, living in atleast 5 of them at a time
I actually prefer people who are very kind, chill and dont play hard to get. They bring much less conflict into a relationship
Gg Fdd me too
Conflict is needed tho
Yea without conflict there is no growth. Soon you're just gonna get bored of each other
Yea I met this girl two years ago and she’s chill and very kind and doesn’t play hard to get. I told her how I felt about her and all she did was find it adorable. And till this day she knows that I like her but to her it’s like it’s a normal thing so we’re just really good close friends. But here’s the thing she likes some other dude sadly 😔😪. I think he’s too cocky because he likes another girl and he can’t like two girls and expect to be with my crush. My crush is going for the wrong guy. Literally because of him she got in trouble and got all her things taken away, not only that her stepdad was all up on her face screaming at her and since she was frustrated she cried for three hours long. She didn’t do nothing wrong. She got in trouble just because the dude she has a crush on kissed one her friends and she told one of the teachers through messages and her parents thought the teacher had bad intentions so it’s really the dudes fault for playing with her feelings. If he truly liked her. He wouldn’t have done what he did behind her back. They don’t even go out they’re just friends but it’s whatever. And I’m like, “Hello I’m here waiting for you to see that I’m the right guy for you.” (In my mind) But no she still likes him even though it’s his fault that her life right now sucks. 😢 I hate not being her favorite boy 😪.
@@angelcortesjr5063 tell her directly. Do NOT help her to get with him at all. Tell her the problems he causes and why she needs to snap out of it before its too late. Be bold amd harsh, she would be mad at first but eventually she will thank you for that in the future. Outcomes could include:
- Her agreeing with you
- Her Disagreeing with you
- Her getting mad for a short while before things are patched up
- her realising that you're a great person and maybe even leading towards feelings
Me: Okay how do I stop getting rejected.

I do find some potentially have another option, not quite friend zone but also not interested, buts knows your interested and uses that to their advantage.
it was in my recommended section....youtube understands me better.
Shadab Hussain cool
Shadab Hussain oh hell yeah
This man made the Friend Zone seem like a good thing....someone give him a prize FFS.
it is a good thing 😈😏
it _is_ a good thing. who doesnt want new friends???
EDIT:
in general, the friendzone is a sexist concept. if you become friends with someone bc you want them to have sex with you, that's manipulative. the friendzone puts the blame on the woman for the man's feelings. like no, you're responsible for your own feelings for someone and they dont owe you shit for liking them. women arent a vending machine where you give friendship and they give you sex. the kinds of people who complain abt the friendzone just dont see women as people.
if you're genuinely friends and then you fall for someone, thats fine. you can go a couple different routes: you can keep your feelings quiet, or you can confess. both are valid. personally, i wouldnt want to risk the friendship, but to each their own. if you keep quiet about it, then you continue being their friend and that's it. if you confess and get rejected, then again, that's it. you're rejected. you can continue your friendship like before (but slightly more awkward now, probably). or you could decide that you need a break from your friendship to get over them. sometimes its just too painful to be around them but not _with_ them, so you can end the friendship. that's a valid option too. but the key here is that 1) you didnt enter the friendship in order to manipulate them into a relationship, and 2) you dont put the blame on them for not returning your feelings. its not your fault you fell for them, but its your feelings that ultimately ended the friendship. which isnt a bad thing, necessarily, but its important to acknowledge that its not their fault.
It is a good thing if you wanna emotionally support a girl you like while she gets smoked out by other dudes
@@ponternal just because she doesn't want to fuck you, doesn't mean the friendzone is bad.
She is never going to fuck you, either be friends or fuck off. She doesn't owe you anything you fuck head
@@Broxalax I agree with you im just saying that you dont owe her anything either. It is much better to move on from a girl you like than to be her "friend" and orbit her.
First friend i ever had that worries about me if she don't hear from me for a week cant ghost her she always finds me

I want to like this so bad but it won't let me on my phone
@Vsauce Great video as always, but I did think you left a couple things out. What I've realized from watching Love Is Blind, is that generally the couples who waited longer to have romantic relations wound up getting friend zoned much more likely than those who just went for it. I had a couple theories that may have explained it. My first was that they didn't feel romantically interested in the first place, so they put physical pursuits on the back burner. Many times, they wound up deciding it was a "mutual decision," however I think that may have either been a way to protect their own ego's, they simply believed it was true because they didn't have the expectation of exploring each other when going into the relationship, or it was a ploy for the camera's, to protect their external image. My second was that as they mentioned, they wanted to take time to develop their emotional connection before they explored a physical one, however due to the fact that they spent so much time "being friends" it wound up manifesting into only feeling platonic to one another. I also believe you left out how much physical attraction is important when being friend-zoned. If you watch the UA-cam series "The Button" you will see that almost every time you see a pair, and think "so and so is not in the other one's league" they wind up nexting them, or that person nexts the other as a defense, and every time a couple wins The Button, you notice they're a "good match" and are in each others leagues. This plays a big part in being friend-zoned. Let me know if I got any of this wrong, or slightly off. I didn't explain this in the best way I could, but I hope you can understand where I'm coming from :)
I suppose this leaves out a couple of things that I think are important in the "friendzone" issue:
Good looking or not to the other person
financial status
Vsauce : talking about friends
Me : zones out
Vsauce : CYBERBALKANIZATION
The thing is
Is zoned in at the moment where he said cyberbalkanization me too lol
But why Balkan lol, that got me
