Some games hit this topic a little.
But I thought I would hit this with a little more in-depth on the idea of looking at optimal performance and outcome regarding dating and relationships.
This can quite easily be modeled in a game and could add a good aspect to games were the player is either looking for multiple partners or trying to find one good relationship.
My sister made a post on facebook yesterday with Homer Simpson's neighbor holding duck-tape regarding Friend Zone.
I made the point that to any guy looking for a meaningful relationship or sexual relationship friend zone is equivalent to a curse word.
I quoted my standard reply to friend zone type responses and the way I deal with it.
My sister wasn't that receptive to the idea that guys should and can say nope I have no interest in being a friend.
My post that set her off.
******************************
Her, "I just want to be friends."
Me, "That's nice and all but I got lots of friends. I looking for someone to build a relationship with. My time is valuable and I would rather spend it doing that with someone who has the same interest. So if that isn't you I'm sorry. Have a nice day."
That generally lets her know you aren't the friend zone person. If she actually likes being around you well she is stuck in the position of needing to re-evaluate if she is willing to give up or maybe try going forward.
If you show her she isn't the only person who has an potential interest and a life they tend to look at that even hard some times get jealous.
If she is still insistent on the friend zone crap well you haven't wasted any time just keep dating other women.
that's my view. Obviously, I am not a fan of the friend zone.
I'm also not a fan of stringing a woman along on a relationship if she is wanting something long term and I am not. I rather not waste her time when should could build a meaningful relationship with someone that actually has the same interest as her.
***************************
If you look at dating with either the goal to have sex or to end up with a LTR relationship that is more than just friends. There is no reason to accept the friend zone response from a woman EVER. It is a pure waste of time.
Taking the path I did above gives the potential she will change her mind sooner than later if she ever does. If she doesn't choose you you haven' wasted time on her.
There are generally two types of males who accept friend zone when they actually have a romantic interest. Those that think they can change her mind and those who have trouble just talking to women and being placed in the friend zone they worry about the next woman doing the same so they act complacent because they think this is the best I will get and garbage like that.
Add to the fact friend zone is most often used to string some sap along as a friend to get him to pay for stuff like going out and stuff because the woman knows the sap is hoping she will change if he is nice to her.
The best way I can describe for someone to think of friend zone visually. Think of the game memory. You have 1000 cards made of 500 pairs. One card is turned over already. You can select 1 card every second.
If you find 2 cards that match you can then turn over that card and turn over the two matching cards. ~ simulates you finding another woman
Or if you happen to find the one matching card to the one already turned over you can count that pair. ~ simulates the girl removing you from friend zone
You have 20 seconds to play. The 20 seconds simulates your dating life time.
So one could create a game and create the females with various personality traits and depending on how well you impress them or not they might choose to put you in the friend zone. Then you have to choose how to deal with it. it could be used to increase the level of difficult of the game and force players to think how they are going to choose to deal with the situation.
