Been doing a lot of reading and I've come across many guys who are having a hard time with deciding where to keep women who aren't giving it up to them.

You don't wanna be in the Friends-zone, but you don't wanna chase either. I'm going to make it really simple for you.

** The Only Times you should accept being JUST FRIENDS **

1) You know her from childhood - If you know this girl from childhood, and I mean playground childhood, before when you put your pants all the way down to whiz - childhood. So young to the point where you can not see the girl as more than friends and honestly do not think this girl has a vagina childhood. *If you have grown through out the years and ever thought.. "wow she actually looks good, let me see whats up with that" - you have got to be doing something about it.

2) Both have mutually and verbally agreed to not being attracted to each other sexually - if this has been a conversation already and both have agreed that you are not interested in engaging, you're good. You must KNOW that she is not attracted to you. You can not assume this! If you don't know she isn't attracted to you by now.. she probably isn't not attracted to you (She is attracted to you).

*If she is attracted to you, and you not her - It is up to you to treat as a plate or not. Everyone is different - but she has to be aware... if not you're playing a dangerous game.

3) She introduced potential prospects to you & you to her - Simple, she introduces ladies to you... and you do the same to her with guys. This is a simple business agreement.

Be aware of the ones who do this to stay close to you and then claim you when shes ready. The smart version of this is she knows you're a bluepill or "Nice Guy" and will know every single girl you're talking to and is in control of the ones you engage with. Then when she's ready... she comes in for the kill (makes her move on you). You've only talked to, had sex with, gone out with the girls she chose. She knows them all she controlled it. She does this and knows she is far superior to any of the girls she's ever forwarded to you making her the MVP in your eyes

UPDATE: Understand the purpose of this post is not to say ONE should not have female friends. Female friends are good. Just be wise in which you ALLOW to remain as a female friend and which have to go.. especially when transition from BP to RP

Keeping female friends as Social Proof and to raise SMV is a smart strategy for a female friend of your's who was a bust - after all, why waste an interaction or relationship completely? BE VERY CAREFUL WITH THIS especially if you're a known BP because what you could be doing is, instead of raising your SMV, is adding to your BP neediness. It must be very CLEAR that this is a friend in a social atmosphere. (Flirt with other girls, kiss other girls if you can, don't float your friend, introduce her to other males). The point is to show that you are not needy with this girl and that you can have a goodtime with out being needy. If she goes home with another guy you don't blink an eye. If you have many female friends, go out with many of them at once, or a different one frequently. Bringing only one or two out in a separate instance isn't going to raise your SMV unless it's known that you're strictly friends.

ADDED: From one of the below comments which i think could also be very helpful and wouldn't want it to get burried.

I've found that most friendships with girls are only temporary and based on three things: you gotta be able to show her a good time (parties, etc), you gotta give her some sort of social status (she wants to be associated with somebody that knows people), and if she can use you to bring her around new prospects. The moment she has no need for any of those things from you she'll disappear. Not necessarily in bad terms, but it will happen. So I'd suggest not investing much time in such a friendship unless said girl is bringing something substantial to the table as well, or else you're wasting your time. - /u/Maneytalks
