You ain't no jerk going by all the questions you asking detective like you want some real answers to use IRL. You a "nice guy" fronting like a mother fukkeryou would call me a jerk then. I keep it real with you
But you think that a jerk can become a good husband and a legit protector of your society in Ethiopia?

I agree with most of what your saying but bold about she will treat you like a friend is only true if she don't like you anyway. Chicks do the same weak shyt a lot of guys do as far as friending their way into a relationship too. Now if she don't like you its just easy to throw out the your intentions wasn't clear card.If you come at a woman like a friend, she will treat you like a friend.
If you approach her like you are interested in dating her, she will either decline your advances, or pursue you romantically.
IT'S THAT SIMPLE.
To me it is cowardly for a man to p*ssy foot around his intentions, and then get mad at the girl when she doesn't guess your true intentions and succumb.
This is described very well in this youtube video "The truth about nice guys".

To answer your question... You are in the friend zone, because you have accepted the "friend zone". Period.
You have failed to be direct with your intentions, and she is over looking you for a man who is more direct. (her type)
OR...
You're a "nice guy", but she isn't attracted to you like that.
For example, my friend didn't like "college boys". The entire time she was in college she "friend zoned" guys left and right. They couldn't understand why, and got mad when the relationship didn't grow. Uh, DUH! She told you that she doesn't like college boys!
Them accepting the "friend zone" wasn't going to change that. They just weren't her type. (romantically) They couldn't accept it. That's not her fault.
BE DIRECT. Make your intentions clear, and if she says she only see's you as just a friend...
She isn't attracted to you, or you just aren't her type. Accept it. Don't think you can change it by accepting the "friend zone".
Regarding bold FOH lol. I think that's very disingenuous because you want to fukk first not become friends. Only a soft nikka and or a lying nikka would even put that in the air like that is the initial reason he came up to a chick. Only situation I can think of where that may apply is one where you get to see them often enough to form an opinion of them outside just a sexual one. As far as chick in the street, club, etc stop it fam. Which one of you brehs on here just see a bad chick and your first thought is she might make a good friend/potential girlfriend or you wanna have sex with her and what happens happens with that other stuff?Take advice from Steve Harvey, brehettes....
Contrary to popular belief, not all men approach women with some "I wanna fukk" motives. There are men who are really trying to connect with women on some "I wanna be your friend and possibly your girlfriend, so I'm going to engage you to see where this leads." Women have really let this "men are savage beasts without ability of cognitive function" take root in the collective (not all) female consciousness. Not every male is on "Don Juan, Super Duper Swag level over 9000, A Pimp Name Slickback, I wanna fukk and control every bytch in the world and actually pull" shyt. Every male cannot attract women that are "on their level," let alone, women above it, because of hypergamy. Women know they have the benefits of sexual selection and take FULL advantage of this fact, even while claiming that everything, and in this case, the dating/marriage market is unfair for women.
This mindful obtuseness(if that's even a word) is what pisses men off, in real life and on these Internet streets.
Yeah that sounds about right because what do you really need girls for "friends" for anyway? I moreso mean specifically meeting them for that purpose. I have sisters, girls as friends I grew up with, girls I don't like/they don't like me in that way, etc so why would I go out of my way to find new girls as friends?Sometimes you don't like a guy in a romantic way, is that a bad thing? Like just because a dude is nice to you doesn't mean you want to date him and you also shouldn't feel bad that you don't want to date him. It's ok to just be cordial to him aka be his friend as long as you're not leading him on. If he still wants to hang around and try to convince you to love him, that's on him.
I feel like men have two categories for women: The ones I want to fukk w/o commitment and the ones I want to fukk and be committed to.
