Why are men expected to be happy and gracious about getting friendzoned?
Post Body

Okay for some perspective I(31 M) was out of the dating scene for a while but I did keep up with articles and blogs. One of the things I found very curious is how men will get flamed and attacked if they are not happy about getting friendzoned by a woman with whom they want more than friendship. Let me be clear here that I am not talking about a guy thinking he is entitled to sex from a woman and is pissed when she turns him down. I don't think the guy was much of a friend to the girl in that situation anyway. I am not talking about sex at all but when a girl decides that she only wants to be friends with a guy who has romantic feelings for her. How is being her friend some great honor for the guy? In recent yeas I've read articles where women eviscerate men for not being over the moon when they got frienzoned by those women and I found it vexing.

Last time I checked unrequited love was painful. As a matter of fact if the roles were reversed and you had a woman being friendzoned by a guy who she was crushing on you would have the script for a romantic comedy.

Do the girls who are friendzoning guys think that he will be stoked when she calls him up to tell him all about the new guy she is dating? It seems like the adult thing to do is to let the guy go completely so he can move on and find love somewhere else.
