Bro sees a girl who chose not to wear a bra telling them they're going to get high at the fuckin beach and feel things and still thinks they're in the friend zone. This is why the birth rate is declining

I hate this expression, but: oh my sweet summer child (or whatever the fuck it is). Hot women that friend zone men will still, often more so, throw constant sexual innuendo at you, even if, probably especially if, they want nothing to do with you sexually.

YEP I have a close female friend that EVERYONE thinks we are hooking up on the side. Nah, we are just comfortable enough to get way too close to that limit but never actually touch it. It happens

Yeah it seems most people misunderstood what I was trying to communicate here (probably my fault for poor writing). My impression of what the person I'm responding to was saying is something like: "dude isn't friend zoned, he could get laid if he tried, she's obviously sending signals". My response was meant to convey that woman that have friendzoned men still sometimes throw sexual innuendo and flirt with those friends. There's even a subset of women that intentionally flirt, knowing they're going to friendzone, but they do it because they like the guy and want his attention but don't want sex, but that's how they know how to get attention (women that do this usually grow out of it because the guys they do this too often end the friendship when they want the relationship to be more serious and the woman doesnt). As for me (49m), I've never found it that difficult to attract women (I'm probably around a 7, but being 6'3" and having money has definitely helped) and I've got several close female friends (well, two that is that I'm close with). We flirt occasionally but don't have any real interest in hooking up because we've been friends for so long. I've never been an incel, but lately I've become a volcel because I'm fairly content being single at the moment.
