This first entry into our Red-Pill Dictionary explores the woman's tried and true way of letting a man know exactly where he stands with her.

​

"We can [...] as friends!" ---> I'm not giving anything to you, but I'd like your time/effort/resources!

​

Example:

​

We can still go to dinner as friends --> This is not a date but you can still feed me!

​

When women say they want to do things 'as friends' what they are really doing is keeping a man's resources within reach without committing to him. Let me underline: IT IS NOT ABOUT SEX, IT IS ABOUT COMMITMENT. What you need to understand is that the friend zone doesn't exist as you know it. The friend zone is not a collection of men that a women won't fuck, the friend zone is a label that women give men who hold intrinsic, non-romantic value who they are not or won't be dating.

​

Women don't care about protecting sex anymore. Nowadays if you look good enough, speak well enough, or have enough status, there's no real challenge in getting laid. In fact, women can use sex or sexual actions as a way to hook men into the friend zone. Never thought about that did you? I work with a girl that fucks her drug dealer for cheap marijuana (not even free marijuana, what an idiot). There was a girl in undergrad that I really liked and could've hooked up with anytime I wanted...provided I didn't tell her boyfriend. Don't worry guys, I left that stone unturned.

​

What women want is to lock down a genuine meal ticket. The friend zone serves to be her ideal mate, in separate pieces, until her actual honey comes along with a shiny rock one day to give her want she wants in the context of marriage. Let's say a woman says she wants a funny, strong man with great style and good in bed. Until she finds Mr. Right, you can be she has a funny friend, a stylish friend, and a strong fuckbuddy. A man spends his life looking for the one. A woman spends her life looking for the all-in-one. The issue is that 1) most men tunnel vision on their chance for sex/companionship and 2) most men are convinced that marriage, not sex, is the endgame for male-female interaction. Sometimes men want sex. Sometimes men want companionship. Women can tell when they're your preferred option for either/both.

​

As a man obsessed with bargains, this is the power I dream of. To ignore all obligation of a deal and still force the other party to provide all the benefits; now that is some negotiating prowess. Jokes aside, I look forward to doing a few more of these as I am both practicing for my thesis and learning more about women. Peace.
