I read somewhere on here about someone liking the idea of friend zone. Mostly because he claimed that's where he was at his best.

So my question is, are there any genuine techniques that can be used successfully while in FZ?

Girls are cyborgs.

In my opinion if you are in the FZ then just make the most out of it....a girl can provide sex both directly and indirectly she can introduce her girlfriends to you, she can help you out pick up clothes or even pick up girls She can give you advice about the female natures if she is smart enough....there are alot more benefits staying in the FZ rather than trying to shag he girl and risk a bale out on her side....my 2 cents

yes, don't be needy, and actually escalate

there is no real friendzone, you can be friends with a girl and sleep with her, if she is attracted and you just take the responsibility and escalate and are not needy about it, she will probably sleep with you (assuming she doesn't have a boyfriend who she is happy with), but if she is attracted and you never escalate she just becomes to comfortable and it becomes incongruent and weird for her to sleep with you, to break this, just break contact with her for a few weeks to a few months, then re-establish contact and game her like you would any girl (assuming you have game)

however, if you are ''friends'' with a girl because she doesn't find you attractive and you just forced rapport until you guys had a connection, then there is pretty much nothing you can do, if the girl will not offer you compliance, then she will not offer you compliance, simple as that

so best way to find out which is which, is figure out how to sleep with girls in general, once you are confident that you could go out to a bar, meet a girl and try to take her home, re-visit the girl you were friend zoned with, and re-frame and escalate in the same fashion, if it works hazzaaa, if no compliance, who cares
(the old community advice to oneitis, is go find and fuck 10 other women)

think of it like this, if you treat a girl like a friend, you and her will become friends, if you treat a girl like you and her have already have sex together, you guys will either have sex together, or she will reject the frame, so she either finds you attractive and accepts the frame and complies, or she doesn't and won't comply, no magical tricks here really just game the girl like any other girl, and if you don't have game, go out and develope it and come back, there will never be one secret thing to say or do to get a girl in particular if you suck, you suck, simple as that, get better, improve yourself

Not to thread jack, but what would you think about my situation. I had this girl message me on POF. She is a 27 year old really hot successful lawyer. I am 25 year old successful mortgage agent. I mention the careers since we are both Indian and those play a HUGE role in dating. We texted talked on the phone and finally met up for drinks the day before she left the city to begin articling. We hit it off nicely, drinking and talking the whole night until the restaurant closed. But then the next morning she told me that I she was uncomfortable with the age diff and wanted to get engaged in a 1-2 years. I told her that I did not want to get married in the near future. But we message each other all day every day (she started msging me at midnight before her first day at work) and I call her too sometimes.

She calls me her friend but I drop a lot of sex bombs in the convo e.g. “I can come teach you swimming, you just have to pay me in sex.” I feel like she is attracted to me but feel like the only way she can keep me in her life is as a friend or potential husband. I want to stay her friend, but the kind that she wants to sleep with. TIPS? Should I casually mention the other girls I’m dating? Ask her to hook me up with her friends?

And I guess these tips feed directly into the OP's question!
