LOL.[/quote]

LOL indeed...It's mostly because women are conflict avoidant and feel horribly guilty about dumping anyone...staying "friends" is a nice way of pretending "I'm not rejecting you (while I'm rejecting you)"...and they imagine this is less hurtful.  I won't get into the debate about whether women are inherently this way or if it's an artifact of culture - I personally suspect the latter, but I'm a white middle-aged dude, so I'll let the ladies answer that.

Pro-tip ladies: keeping someone's hopes alive by friend-zoning them is more cruel than simply ripping off the bandaid, and it does not make your ex feel better; it is entirely an activity designed to ease your guilt and lessen [i]your[/i] pain.  When you don't want sex with a guy anymore, your body is trying to tell you something: you don't "love" him anymore.  You may have fond memories and warm feelings, but you don't have to hate someone to be out of love with them.  The opposite of love is indifference.

If a girl/woman tells you she just wants to be friends, just drop her - that's what she really wants (even if she doesn't know it).  You don't have to be crazy with the no-contact and avoid her at all costs, but stop initiating any and all contact, and don't call|text|social-media her back if she "pokes" you.  Have some self-respect.[/quote]
