I'm writing about sex this week -- specifically, the situation in which certain men complain about being "friendzoned" by women who choose not to see them sexually. Now, I recognize that sex is a highly-charged, volatile, and subjective issue, so it's my goal to remain as logical and objective as possible as I urge all men to completely remove "friendzoned" from their vocabulary -- especially when they're using it to deride a woman's sexual choices.

First, what does "frieindzoned" even mean? Basically, a man who's complaining about being "friendzoned" by a woman is upset that this woman sees him in only a non-sexual manner, or only as a friend. But before we examine all three scenarios where a man would make such a complaint, and why he would be wrong to do so, let's take a step back and see what kind of men we're talking about.

Or if you're the type of dude who uses the term "friendzoned," take like 20 steps back. Yep, keep going. Nearly there. No, don't look behind you.

As a starting point, I tend to believe that most people are awful. Consequently, I tend also to think most men are awful. And by that logic, most guys who spend their lives proving that they're "nice guys" are liars. Indeed, I fully believe that if we were to duct tape shut the mouths of all so-called "nice guys," no woman would ever again be called a "bitch" by a man she's "friendzoned."
