Brony Attempts To Escape The Friendzone (very cringe)

the problem I see with these guys is not that they're nerds, but that they show a lot of red flags, like being too controlling, having unreasonable high standards, not taking care of their personal hygiene and judging someone solely on their appearance.

having preferences is one thing, turning those preferences into “I will never date anyone outside of these parameters” is where it becomes a problem

I am a bartender and legit overheard a conversation of a 30-something man talking to his friend about how to pick up women. His advice included pretending to not be interested, complimenting her friend to make her jealous, not showing up to the first date, and making an excuse to leave because “another girl is hitting you up.” Wtf. Then he whined to me all night about being single.

I love how both Ken and Felix both get SO OFFENDED she compared MMOers to Bronies 😂😂😂

Felix might have retired but at least we get to see him collab with Ken once in a while.

The fact that he started the speed dating by insulting the women present shows exactly why these guys are single. They expect rejection, so they get the rude behavior in first.

There's a gray zone. Being too sweet too quickly is a red flag, but being an a-hole is also a red flag. Ken's advice is on point.

I mean, to a Brony, friendship is already magic. A romantic relationship must be an f-ing Act of God

Oh man, the cringe is palpable. Props to y'all for getting through this one.

"The only person I've ever loved is Mary..." how wholesome Ken is a real one, guys.

As a nerdy girl, my advice for the nerdy guys is to calm down. I don't think a lot of the nerd guys are necessarily thinking that far but they get intimidated by the perceived relationship power. If they overcome that, they get way too excited too quickly on topics they like. Kind of, "someone is interested in nerd stuff too! They also are a girl!!!!" Ken's advice on pretend to be gay (to yourself) is probably great advice.

The thing about these creeps who go on and on about the "friendzone" is they never consider that they've put the other person in a "bangzone".

The issue with the term "friendzone" to me is that implies that there is something wrong with being just friends. It's so wrong.

I think it’s mostly because people blame what’s wrong with them on being a nerd or geek, it’s usually other things about them that make them unhealthy

You can tell ken and his wife have a great relationship, the way he talks about women and relationships is so sweet. I love to see it.

People who only become friends with others just to date or get into their pants are gross. Never come into a relationship with ulterior motives.

7:32 THANK YOU KEN! I know a lot of parents that keep watching “Bluey”, because it’s a well written show, after their kids fall asleep and I haven’t heard anyone call adults who like Bluey weird. It’s not weird to like a kids show as an adult. It’s weird to sexualize a kids show as an adult.

If your only goal is to "escape the friendzone" you obviously don't care be their friend.

Pewds is in pure ‘new dad phase’ as he looks absolutely knackered

I work at cons and have definitely told people they stink before. I have a very sensitive nose and being a female working at cons you attract the sterotype of con guys. I have very sweetly placed my hand or fan over my noise and said, "I'm so sorry, my noise is very sensitive to things like colognes and perfumes. Im not sure what you have on but the smell is hurting my nose." It usually goes one of two ways, they say sorry and walk away sniffing their shirt/self, or their friend will straight us say, "she means you stink"
