The Hawkeye Initiative. 12 Highly Compelling Reasons Armor Needs A Fashion Comeback. 6 Rejection-Proof Ways To Catch The Attention Of The Cute, Quiet Guy At The Bar. A few weeks ago I was at the apartment of a friend nearly 20 years my senior.

We have dated loser after loser and yet, we have been keeping the winner on the bench since the dawn of time. He is… the male best friend. As a woman who finally called her male best friend up to the big leagues and turned a friendship into a relationship, I can’t help but wonder, “What the hell took me so long?” Why is it that women keep some guys in the “friend zone,” rather than giving them a chance? After lots of thought, I can’t even think of a logical explanation for the phenomenon. 1.
