Summary

It's an area of life that no man wants to find himself in, but I think just about every man has been confronted with potentially being friend zoned. And the only question is, whether or not you've either voluntarily or involuntarily found yourself in the friend zone.


Transcript

00:00:00.000 If you are fat, if you are lazy, if you're out of shape, if you are broke, if you are
00:00:05.620 a miserable person, then of course, she's not going to be romantically interested in
00:00:10.600 you.
00:00:10.980 If you're showing up as a fit, strong, healthy, capable man, she's going to be attracted to
00:00:17.140 that.
00:00:17.560 If you are financially abundant, if you are killing it at work, if you're purpose-driven,
00:00:23.620 if you're motivated, if you're a man of your word, if you have integrity, and women have
00:00:28.540 plenty of options.
00:00:29.500 In fact, women have more options than men do.
00:00:34.440 You're a man of action.
00:00:36.100 You live life to the fullest, embrace your fears, and boldly chart your own path.
00:00:40.480 When life knocks you down, you get back up one more time, every time.
00:00:44.920 You are not easily deterred or defeated, rugged, resilient, strong.
00:00:50.020 This is your life.
00:00:51.100 This is who you are.
00:00:52.520 This is who you will become.
00:00:53.840 At the end of the day, and after all is said and done, you can call yourself a man.
00:00:59.500 Ah, the dreaded friend zone.
00:01:02.040 It's an area of life that no man wants to find himself in, but I think just about every
00:01:06.760 man has been confronted with potentially being friend zoned.
00:01:12.380 And the only question is whether or not you've either voluntarily or involuntarily found yourself
00:01:18.440 in the friend zone voluntarily because if you think that maybe if you're kind and nice enough
00:01:24.600 and do and say all the right things that she'll open her heart and legs to you, involuntary in
00:01:30.160 that maybe you found yourself in that position in a marriage or a relationship and don't know
00:01:35.260 how to get yourself out of it.
00:01:36.480 Today, we're going to talk about four key things that you can do right now to ensure that you
00:01:41.800 do not end up in the friend zone and if you've found yourself in the friend zone after years
00:01:46.820 of marriage or continually dating as a single man, what you can do to get out of it.
00:01:53.820 Now, before I get into it today, I just want to mention my good friends, speaking of friends
00:01:57.600 and friend zone, one area where it's appropriate is my good friends over at Montana Knife Company.
00:02:04.860 Men, we are tool-wielding animals.
00:02:08.380 We use tools, whether it's knives or wrenches or firearms to protect, provide, and preside.
00:02:15.620 And I can't think of very many things that are more important than having a good, high-quality knife,
00:02:20.700 whether you're out in the field, whether you're walking around on a day-to-day basis,
00:02:23.960 or maybe even the kitchen as you're preparing your food for your family and friends.
00:02:28.220 I want you to look no further than the American-made knife company, Montana Knife Company.
00:02:33.380 If you end up going over there and picking up one of their knives, they just made and
00:02:37.180 released a brand new knife.
00:02:38.320 And I'm sorry, but the name is escaping me right offhand.
00:02:41.320 But I have, I think, I want to say about 15 of their knives at this point.
00:02:46.220 And every single time I gift one of their knives or show somebody one of my knives that I use
00:02:54.960 from them, they're always blown away at the quality, the cut, and the shape of it as well.
00:03:00.600 So look no further than Montana Knife Company.
00:03:03.300 And if you end up getting anything over there, use the code ORDEROFMAN, all one word, ORDEROFMAN
00:03:08.020 at checkout.
00:03:08.900 It'll save you some money and it'll let them know that you heard about them here on the
00:03:12.840 Order of Man podcast.
00:03:13.800 And by the way, I've got my Montana Knife Company shirt on today.
00:03:18.200 I did not realize that was the case, but there you go.
00:03:20.540 They've got some great swag as well.
00:03:22.820 MontanaKnifeCompany.com, use the code ORDEROFMAN.
00:03:25.900 All right, guys, let's talk about the friend zone.
00:03:27.620 This is one that gets brought up quite often.
00:03:31.200 The reason I wanted to share this with you today is because I got a message from a gentleman
00:03:36.160 who is in a marriage that I believe, if I remember correctly, is more than 25 years strong now.
00:03:41.540 And unfortunately, he feels more like a roommate to his wife than an intimate, romantic companion.
00:03:50.180 And this is something that happens a lot.
00:03:51.880 Obviously, in a marriage, it's kids, it's day-to-day activities, it's career aspirations.
00:03:58.420 And we get so comfortable with each other that we lose a lot of that intimacy and physical
00:04:03.100 and romantic connection.
00:04:05.540 But there's also a lot of guys who are dating and they're trying to find Mrs. Right.
00:04:11.820 They're trying to be intimate with women and they found themselves at some crossroads or
00:04:18.920 in difficult situations.
00:04:20.360 And I mentioned it earlier.
00:04:22.600 It's only one of two things.
00:04:24.020 It's either voluntarily, and too many guys do this voluntarily.
00:04:27.640 They think that if they're just nice enough, that a woman at some point, because they've
00:04:34.220 said all the right things and done all the right things and were nice enough to the woman
00:04:39.060 that she'll open her heart, she'll open her mind, she'll open her soul, and or she'll
00:04:42.860 open her legs.
00:04:43.820 And it just isn't the case.
00:04:46.000 Now, of course, you're going to find some exceptions.
00:04:48.320 And inevitably, I'm going to have a guy here say, I was friends with my wife for 10 years
00:04:52.900 before we started dating.
00:04:54.100 And to that, congratulations.
00:04:55.680 But I think you're proving the point.
00:04:57.820 At some point, you needed to move out of the friend zone.
00:05:00.260 And you probably did one or more of the things that I'm going to share with you today to get
00:05:04.460 yourself out of that situation.
00:05:06.780 You are not the exception.
00:05:08.200 You actually probably utilized some of the things that I'm sharing with you today.
00:05:12.640 A lot of guys do this involuntarily.
00:05:15.280 And they found themselves in this position, or they've been told by society that they just
00:05:21.040 need to be nice and pleasant and polite.
00:05:23.080 And that a woman will give her heart to you.
00:05:25.980 And that isn't the case.
00:05:27.560 You know, how many times do we see women who go for the bad boy, right?
00:05:31.480 Why would they do that?
00:05:33.100 Well, they're interested in somebody who has the capacity to protect, provide, and preside.
00:05:38.120 And being nice, frankly, isn't one of the virtues that ranks very high on the list of protecting
00:05:45.300 and providing and presiding.
00:05:46.400 Now, I do want to say that there's a difference between being nice and kind.
00:05:50.800 Kind is pleasant.
00:05:52.800 Kind is somebody who cares about people, who wants to serve, who has other people's interest
00:05:58.260 at heart.
00:05:59.380 Nice to me, and we can debate semantics.
00:06:01.720 This is why I want to define them.
00:06:03.580 Nice is just trying to make everybody like you, trying not to rock the boat or ruffle feathers,
00:06:10.440 trying to manipulate.
00:06:11.620 And being a nice guy is a form of manipulation.
00:06:15.760 Manipulate other people, in this case, women, to sleep with you or to get into a romantic
00:06:21.000 relationship.
00:06:21.960 So guys, we're not going to work on being nice.
00:06:24.020 We'll be kind.
00:06:25.060 We'll be pleasant.
00:06:26.780 We can be tactful in our delivery of messages and things like this, but we're not going to
00:06:31.500 be, we're not going to be these nice, these perpetual nice guys.
00:06:35.080 And we're going to get ourselves out of the friend zone.
00:06:37.080 So let's talk about this.
00:06:37.780 Let's break this down.
00:06:38.520 Four steps.
00:06:39.080 Very easy, very simple.
00:06:40.040 Number one, when you are with a woman, it's very important that you state your intentions.
00:06:47.680 All right?
00:06:48.100 Women don't always see it the same way we do.
00:06:50.500 Obviously, there's a big chasm between the way that men and women communicate.
00:06:55.480 We tend to be more direct.
00:06:57.620 Women tend to be a little bit more indirect.
00:06:59.500 We tend to be more logical.
00:07:00.720 Women tend to be a little bit more emotionally driven.
00:07:02.940 And these aren't bad necessarily, but it's important to know what they are.
00:07:06.040 And it's your job as a man to state very clearly that you are not interested in a friendship.
00:07:12.920 In fact, I think it's actually very difficult for a man and a woman to be simply friends.
00:07:21.120 I'm not saying that it can't happen, but it certainly presents its fair share of issues.
00:07:26.580 But if you're going on a date with a woman, it's a date.
00:07:30.540 It's a romantic date.
00:07:33.320 Women don't go on dates with their girlfriends.
00:07:36.700 Men don't go on dates with their guy friends.
00:07:39.800 If you're going on a date, it's because you are potentially romantically and intimately interested in this other person.
00:07:50.340 And if you're not, then it's not a date.
00:07:52.520 It's a hangout session.
00:07:55.120 You call it whatever you want, but it's not a date.
00:07:57.340 So if you're going on a date with a woman because you want to be romantically connected and she is maybe not interested in using that verbiage or not treating it like a date itself, she might be more interested in being a friend than being a romantic partner, which is fine.
00:08:14.820 Not all women are going to be interested in all men and not all men are going to be interested in all women.
00:08:18.600 I've been on plenty of dates where neither one of us were interested, and I've told them, hey, I enjoyed our time together.
00:08:26.180 Thanks for coming to dinner with me, but I'm not feeling the intimate, the romantic connection that I thought, and so I'm not really interested in going on another date.
00:08:35.180 And in many cases, they've said, I felt the same way, and so no harm, no foul, and you move on.
00:08:40.180 Now, if you're in a relationship, maybe a long-term relationship where some of the romances died, then I think the first thing you need to do to rebuild the romance is to explain that you're not satisfied with the level of intimacy and romanticism that you would otherwise like to see.
00:08:57.900 She's not going to read your mind.
00:09:00.560 You're not going to read her mind.
00:09:02.560 And as a man, it's your job to communicate clearly what you're feeling, what you're experiencing, and what you would like to see in the relationship.
00:09:10.180 And then she has the opportunity to either accept or reject, and that's fine.
00:09:17.340 If she's not interested in the romantic side of things, that is fine.
00:09:21.160 You need to move on and away from that relationship because, again, you're not interested in being friends.
00:09:27.040 You have enough friends.
00:09:28.320 I have enough friends.
00:09:29.960 You don't need another woman as a friend.
00:09:31.780 In fact, if anything, you ought to build more male friendship and relationships.
00:09:37.140 So if you're in a long-term marriage, this might require you to sit down and spend some time with her, telling her that, hey, look, I don't feel connected.
00:09:46.080 I would like to see more mental, emotional, and physical connection.
00:09:52.100 And then you can talk about what needs to be done and what she would like to see and what your expectation is and what her expectation of you is.
00:09:59.080 But ultimately, it all starts with you clearly communicating what it is you're after and then letting her make a decision as to whether or not she's interested.
00:10:08.700 All right, now, point number two after stating your intentions is that you have a responsibility to the commitment of being outside of the friend zone and being in that relationship, that intimate romantic relationship zone.
00:10:26.080 And what you need to do is you need to become more attractive.
00:10:30.700 Bottom line, if you are fat, if you are lazy, if you are out of shape, if you are broke, if you are a miserable person, then, of course, she's not going to be romantically interested in you.
00:10:42.620 Now, guys, this happens, and frankly, it's happened to me in my previous marriage where at times I was not performing to the degree that I should physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, financially.
00:10:57.000 And, of course, if you're not performing at the level, she's not going to be interested in you.
00:11:03.080 We can sugarcoat it.
00:11:04.400 We can wash it away.
00:11:06.180 We can pretend that this is not the case.
00:11:07.960 But the reality is, is she is making her romantic and intimate decisions based on the way that you're performing.
00:11:16.580 If you're showing up as a fit, strong, healthy, capable man, she's going to be attracted to that.
00:11:23.780 If you are financially abundant, if you are killing it at work, if you're purpose-driven, if you're motivated, if you're a man of your word, if you have integrity.
00:11:33.980 I know all of these things don't maybe feel like they directly translate to the bedroom, but trust me, they do.
00:11:41.140 And women have plenty of options.
00:11:43.260 In fact, women have more options than men do.
00:11:47.220 It's the reality of it.
00:11:49.580 And I'm not going to say that we need to compete with other men, but if you don't believe that you need to show up in a powerful way, then just throw in the towel right now.
00:11:58.840 Like, why would your wife want to sleep with you if you're 50 pounds overweight?
00:12:05.500 What interest does your wife have in being romantically and physically and intimately connected with you if you're broke and you're lazy?
00:12:15.420 Now, when I say these things, it feels like a personal indictment.
00:12:19.240 It feels like a judgment.
00:12:21.000 And I'm not judging you, but your woman is.
00:12:24.100 She's making those decisions, and a lot of them are subconscious.
00:12:32.900 She's not going to get excited about you being a broke, fat loser.
00:12:39.920 So I don't think that we as men have the right to complain that our wives or these women that we're dating are not physically interested in us if we're not willing to be physically attractive.
00:12:52.040 Now, all of us have varying degrees of looks, and I know I'm not like the epitome of handsomeness, but I make an effort to make sure that I'm physically attractive, that I've got financial prosperity and abundance, that I'm not putting women on pedestals that I shouldn't, that I'm purpose-driven, that I'm motivated by things outside of just my connection in the bedroom.
00:13:14.360 And not ironically, those are the things that she's interested in and get her excited in a romantic way about you.
00:13:23.900 So once you've communicated what you're looking for, then I think at times, and all times, it's appropriate to turn it around and put that mirror on you, literally and figuratively.
00:13:36.460 Look in the mirror.
00:13:37.180 What do you look like?
00:13:37.940 Should she sleep with you?
00:13:41.780 Should she be physically attracted to you?
00:13:45.440 Or can you understand why maybe she's repelled by it?
00:13:50.620 Now, we talk at length, and I'm not going to talk about on this podcast for the sake of time, but we've talked at length about what you can do specifically to improve your financial awareness and abundance,
00:14:01.060 to improve your physical fitness, to improve your integrity, and the way you're showing up, and to be a man who protects, provides, presides.
00:14:10.100 The man who protects, provides, and presides the best is the man who gets all the action.
00:14:15.840 You can see this in dating apps, and I don't have the exact statistics in front of me right now, but I believe it's less than 10% of the men are getting 90% of the dates on Tinder and Bumble and Hinge and Facebook dating and all these other apps.
00:14:35.400 Why?
00:14:36.360 Because they're physically attractive, and they know how to present themselves well.
00:14:40.240 Well, you can complain about it, you can gripe about it, you can moan about it, but it isn't going to help you get any action from the girls, the women, or from your wife.
00:14:51.220 Make yourself more attractive.
00:14:52.800 All right, number three.
00:14:54.880 Guys, we need to be more assertive.
00:14:58.200 So once you've stated what you want, you've communicated what it is you're looking for in the relationship,
00:15:03.680 you're working on making yourself a more compelling partner, romantic partner to her,
00:15:10.760 then the responsibility is on you to make the move.
00:15:16.500 So what does that look like?
00:15:17.900 Well, it's flirtatiousness.
00:15:19.740 It's learning how to text appropriately with women.
00:15:23.020 It's building up sexual tension.
00:15:25.840 It's greeting her at the door in a way that lets her know that you're riled up and ready to go.
00:15:34.800 It's also letting her know that she's beautiful and that you're physically attracted to her
00:15:41.240 and that you want to be physically intimate and connected with her.
00:15:45.440 Too many men are so passive because, I get it, in some instances,
00:15:50.140 they're worried about sexual harassment claims and things like this.
00:15:53.500 I think just be smart, right?
00:15:54.820 Like, should you do this at work?
00:15:56.840 No.
00:15:58.280 Should you read the room?
00:15:59.520 Yes.
00:16:00.620 If a woman shows through her words or actions that she's not interested,
00:16:04.600 then just chalk it up and move on.
00:16:06.680 I'm not telling you to be a creeper.
00:16:08.180 I'm not telling you to be a stalker.
00:16:09.400 I'm not telling you to take it further than you need or any sexual harassment or anything like that.
00:16:14.700 But damn, if you can't make a move.
00:16:18.120 There's a guy that I follow and he's been on the podcast.
00:16:20.220 His name is David Meason and he talks about kissing on the first date.
00:16:24.820 Like, how many guys won't actually go in because they're worried about rejection and what you're going to think?
00:16:32.200 It's your job to make the move.
00:16:34.520 And if she says no, then you can honor and respect that.
00:16:37.720 But you're giving her the option to say no.
00:16:40.040 Stop waiting around.
00:16:44.260 Stop hoping that she comes on to you.
00:16:46.840 It's not how women operate generally.
00:16:49.560 There are some women who do, but not generally.
00:16:52.860 And so it's your job as a man to wine and diner, if you will, to romanticize her, to seduce her, if you want to use that term.
00:17:04.920 And again, I don't think I need to say that there has to be some constraints or there has to be consent.
00:17:11.240 I mean, I would hope, you know, you've been listening to this podcast long enough that you already know that.
00:17:15.120 I don't need to explain that, but you can make a move.
00:17:19.540 You can go in for a hug.
00:17:21.020 You can put your hand on her.
00:17:22.880 You can play.
00:17:23.760 You can flirt.
00:17:24.520 You can go in for the kiss.
00:17:25.760 You can do those things in an appropriate way that lets her know, oh, this guy is interested in me.
00:17:30.720 And then she always has the right and the autonomy to say no.
00:17:34.220 And if she does, respect it.
00:17:36.900 But if she goes with it, great.
00:17:40.120 Take the next step and the next step and the next step.
00:17:43.180 Lead her, right?
00:17:44.140 We talk about being protect, provide, preside.
00:17:46.700 Preside is synonymous with leadership.
00:17:49.080 That applies in the corporate setting.
00:17:50.660 That applies in the personal setting.
00:17:51.880 That applies as a father and also applies in the bedroom.
00:17:54.360 Lead her.
00:17:56.180 And if she wants to be led by you, she will let you know.
00:17:59.280 And if she doesn't, she will also let you know.
00:18:02.420 Which leads to point number four.
00:18:03.840 And point number four is just upholding the boundaries.
00:18:07.760 Guys, if she's not interested in a romantic relationship, that's okay.
00:18:13.760 There's a lot of other women who would be very attracted to you,
00:18:17.760 who would be very turned on by you,
00:18:19.480 who would be very interested in the way that you express your love
00:18:22.060 and show how you care about that person.
00:18:25.580 And if she's not the one, maybe she's not the one.
00:18:27.980 But have some self-respect.
00:18:30.520 Have some dignity.
00:18:32.880 You don't need to force it.
00:18:34.360 You don't need to push it.
00:18:35.380 You don't need to make yourself the whipping boy.
00:18:37.880 You don't need to turn into a submissive to her.
00:18:41.020 Just chalk it up.
00:18:42.660 She's not interested.
00:18:43.460 Now, this is a little different when it comes to a marriage.
00:18:49.100 And I'm not one to just flippantly say, be out of the marriage.
00:18:54.140 I'm not even going to suggest that you do that.
00:18:56.500 But if she's not interested in being romantic with you in a marriage,
00:19:02.560 there's a lot of conversations that need to take place.
00:19:05.440 Part of that might be between you and her.
00:19:06.940 And part of that might mean that you need to bring in a therapist
00:19:10.320 and work through some of these things.
00:19:12.480 Because a sexless marriage, a marriage devoid of romanticism,
00:19:16.920 is not a marriage I'm interested in.
00:19:19.120 And I don't think it's a marriage that other men are interested in either.
00:19:22.240 I've yet to find a man who's not interested in that.
00:19:26.760 Maybe they're out there.
00:19:27.760 I haven't run across one.
00:19:29.080 So you need to communicate that stuff up front.
00:19:33.620 And then you need to get the help that you need to do.
00:19:35.640 But also, there's a lot of responsibility that you have for yourself,
00:19:38.900 as I said in point number two, becoming more attracted to her.
00:19:42.200 Now, there might be some sexual trauma and some other reasons.
00:19:45.580 There might be even medical conditions that keep her from wanting to have sex with you.
00:19:49.680 Those things happen, for sure.
00:19:51.340 So address those things.
00:19:53.680 Yes, she wants to please you.
00:19:55.500 She wants to make you happy mentally, emotionally, and also physically.
00:20:02.320 And she might actually be feeling a lot of guilt and shame around her inability to perform.
00:20:06.840 And so work together to figure out what you need to figure out
00:20:10.260 so that you can have the type of relationship that you want to have.
00:20:14.560 I know sex and intimacy is not the only part of a relationship,
00:20:18.380 but it is a part, a major part of the relationship.
00:20:22.000 And not just for men, by the way.
00:20:23.580 She's interested in that too.
00:20:25.500 But uphold the boundaries.
00:20:30.220 I remember I had one instance where I could see that there was some interest
00:20:37.020 in maybe having a further relationship,
00:20:40.220 but this particular woman was interested in someone else also.
00:20:47.140 And I said, hey, look, I'm not interested in dating you
00:20:50.500 if you're interested in somebody else.
00:20:52.560 I want to be dating somebody who is interested in dating me.
00:20:57.020 And that's all, because that's what I'm going to give.
00:21:00.360 And she said the dreaded and feared words.
00:21:02.780 Well, maybe we can just be friends.
00:21:05.820 And I said to her, no, we're not going to be friends.
00:21:09.020 We can either date and we can be committed to each other or not.
00:21:16.960 But I'm not interested in being your friend.
00:21:19.900 And she said, wow.
00:21:22.240 She was taken back a little bit.
00:21:23.400 I said, what?
00:21:24.880 She's like, I never had anybody tell me that.
00:21:26.740 And I told her, it's because I respect myself and I know what I want.
00:21:31.540 Most men don't.
00:21:34.100 So as I said earlier, most men would say, oh, yeah, let's be friends
00:21:37.260 in hopes and anticipation that something will work out down the road.
00:21:41.080 It won't work out.
00:21:43.900 Odds are.
00:21:44.960 Again, there's probably an exception in there.
00:21:46.920 But guys, just move on.
00:21:51.140 Have some dignity.
00:21:53.060 Have some self-respect.
00:21:55.140 If she's putting you in that friend zone, to point number four,
00:21:58.800 uphold the boundary.
00:21:59.660 I'm not interested in being friends with you.
00:22:02.740 I'm interested in dating you romantically or not knowing you at all.
00:22:06.800 And that's the hardline stance that I think if more men took,
00:22:10.720 they'd find themselves outside of the friend zone
00:22:13.520 and inside of the bedroom more often.
00:22:17.600 So I hope that helps.
00:22:20.160 I know for a lot of recovering nice guys,
00:22:22.300 it's very difficult to do when you're talking about expressing yourself
00:22:25.800 and telling a woman what you want
00:22:27.460 and then expecting a certain way of showing up
00:22:30.720 and having some boundaries in place that you're willing to uphold.
00:22:34.360 But part of this is that.
00:22:37.020 And the other part is making yourself more attractive.
00:22:41.300 I like the quote or the adage that there's a fine line
00:22:44.740 between flirting and harassment.
00:22:47.280 And it's just based on how attractive a man is.
00:22:50.940 So what does that tell you?
00:22:53.200 If you want more game, then play the game better.
00:23:00.200 So that's my advice for you.
00:23:01.940 I'm sure you guys have other ideas and other thoughts,
00:23:04.000 but I want you to stay outside of that friend zone.
00:23:06.780 You're not interested in having friends.
00:23:08.480 Maybe some of you are, but go make some guy friends.
00:23:11.960 Go play basketball.
00:23:12.860 Go hit the gym.
00:23:13.620 Go shooting.
00:23:14.240 Go on trips.
00:23:14.860 Go hunting.
00:23:15.380 Do the guy stuff together.
00:23:16.800 But with the women, work on developing romantic relationships
00:23:21.440 because I know that's what you want.
00:23:23.080 Some guys will say, oh, no, no, not me.
00:23:24.460 No, it's you too.
00:23:26.480 And quit clinging like a desperate little puppy
00:23:30.400 waiting for their master to serve them dinner
00:23:33.040 to women who are not interested in you.
00:23:36.900 That is the way forward.
00:23:38.560 Very simple, sometimes hard, harder for other people
00:23:41.440 than it is for others, but that's what it requires.
00:23:44.980 As a recap, number one, be very clear about your intentions.
00:23:48.340 Number two, make yourself more attractive in all ways.
00:23:50.940 Number three, make a move.
00:23:52.260 Lead, be bold, make that move.
00:23:54.160 And number four, uphold your boundaries and move on.
00:23:57.600 Have some class.
00:23:58.400 Move on if it's not gonna work.
00:24:00.400 All right, guys, I hope that helps.
00:24:01.480 I hope that serves you.
