Talk:Friend zone

I never realized the "friend zone" was gender specific. A straight woman can fall into the "friend zone" too, for example becoming "one of the lads" or a sister figure, when she actually wants to be a romantic interest. I speak from experience :)

it's gender-specific because...

people who give this advice usually believe that women aren't interesting enough to be friends with unless there's a good probability of sex.

This article is rather uncritical.
