recently published an article called The Friend Zone where he explains why guys take it so rough when women friendzone them:

The sexes do lots of awful things to each other. Men don’t listen to women enough, relentlessly centre their own needs, and often have no real sense of the consistent physical jeopardy women moving through public spaces constantly feel. But this matter – following up crushing sexual rejection with a desire to ‘just be good friends’, is a bad thing women frequently do to men. And, if women were men, or were at least better engaging with the perspective of the men who desire them, they’d know how emasculating and provocative it can come over when made as as a unilateral decision. You are effectively telling someone how to feel.

I think his piece reflects a fundamental misunderstanding of intersexual communication and the nature of female attraction.

I also maintain that if men better understood how women actually get turned on and make sexual / romantic decisions then they wouldn’t get so butthurt when their female friends “reject” them in this way.

That’s because getting friendzoned seldom amounts to a permanent sexual rejection.
