Yes, it's the Jewbil show, you know, where you have
a crush on somebody, so you start spending a lot
of time with them, thinking that they're going to fall
in love with you. And then one night they invite
you out for drinks, so you put on your best clothes,
bathe yourself and your favorite cologne, and pop seven Viagra
before it behead to meet them in the restaurant. And
then as soon as you walk in, they're like, Hey,

I've been friend zoned. And now I smell like axe
body spray and I'm really regretting that I wore sweatpants.

It's helpful for guys to listen to if they want
to not be friend zoned, and ladies you should listen
to to see if you agree that this stuff would
actually work. But we'll go over the rules now. According
to this article that's going viral, it says, break the

(01:19):
nice guy or best friend stereotype is one of the
surefire ways to make sure that you don't get friend zoned.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
Be it creep a kind.

Speaker 3 (01:26):
Of yeah, pretty so freezias. Here's the tips that it says.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
Instead of saying things like tell me about your day,
like a best friend or a nice guy would say,
switch that to tell me what time I'm picking you up?
I mean, that's kind of don't suggest.

Speaker 4 (01:43):
Don't be like weird and creepy about it, but be
more of like.

Speaker 3 (01:49):
Like I don't care about your day.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
I wish you would shut up like chicks are always
talking anyway, what time should I pick you up?

Speaker 4 (01:55):
Pretty much, my guys, says that just like kind of
sound sexy, so it's like, oh, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (02:02):
You're picking me up for apparently I'm being hijacked today. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
It also says the surefireway for guys to not be
putting the friend zone is to pay attention to how
you give compliments. Don't say things like cute top what
because that's something a buddy would say, say sexy top.

Speaker 3 (02:20):
Yeah, pretty much. It's pretty much what this article is saying.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
Text And if you agree with this at four one
and sixty one, if any of these things would keep
you out of the friend zone, or if you just
be like nope, next.

Speaker 4 (02:30):
I mean I wouldn't friendzy if you told me that,
I would just not be friends with you regardless. But like,
you're not getting any farther either, So.

Speaker 3 (02:36):
No cute top just like you look hot, dudeb.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
Yeah, no, sweater puppets look great when we're going to
the puppet show puppet.

Speaker 4 (02:50):
See. At that point, I'm just ever gonna see you again,
so you have my friend or anything else.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
So well, according to this article that's going viral, this
is surefire away for dudes to not be put in
the friend zone. It also says make sure to give
her some space. Don't text her twenty four to seven.

Speaker 3 (03:06):
I like that.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
You need to text her, And this is a quote
from the article, text her like you have a life
where you're possibly on a yacht.

Speaker 3 (03:13):
Hey, yeah, well like that. Sorry, can't text back. I'm
on a yacht right now.

Speaker 4 (03:20):
The thing is, I like space, not everyone else, but
I need to know you have a life.

Speaker 3 (03:25):
I can't be your whole life. I got things to do, homie.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
It says, if you're too available, it can make you
become more of a friend, and then you're more likely
that you'll become friend zone.

Speaker 3 (03:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
So yeah, text me that you're on a yacht.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
I believe you, okay, text ten four one a six one.
Would this stuff work for you to keep a guy
out of the friend zone or would it just work
for you to be like, I'm not talking to you
anymore because so far, to me, that's what it sounds like.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
So far, it just sounds like I'm not talking this
guy anymore because he's a criminal.

Speaker 4 (03:49):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
Here's another tip from this article that's going viral about
how guys can make sure they're not put in the
friend zone. Make sure they see that you're not lacking options.
I don't like that ie stories with like two drinks
at a table with no explanation. If you're talking, I
don't want to be friend zone. Let them see that
you're out with someone, but they don't know who. He
casually mentioned somebody asked me out today. When you're talking, right, Oh,

(04:13):
so so far you have to give her compliments on
her clothes, but not like that's cute, just like you
look sexy hot. We also don't talk to her about
her day, just say things like when am I picking
you up? And then also make sure she knows that
you're wanted.

Speaker 3 (04:30):
Okay, that thing is I don't.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
Care what you were saying, like somebody asked me out today?
Anyway with time to pick you up and also wear
something hot? Right? I mean I.

Speaker 4 (04:37):
Wouldn't put you the friends at that point because a
you're picking me up. But the issue or the thing
I'm trying to get about this is there is a
guy that I have and I can't figure out if
we're friends or he wants to be more than friends.
He's very sweet and so he does say like oh
I like that jacket, but then he won't message me.

Speaker 1 (04:54):
For a while.

Speaker 4 (04:56):
You like that Victoria I did originally and now it's
been like a.

Speaker 3 (04:59):
Hot two weeks.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
Making sure that he's not in the friend zone. Because
another one they have is make sure you say mysterious. Well,
he's working for you in regards.

Speaker 4 (05:11):
He's mysterious to me because I'm like, I don't.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
Know playing games though, man, just playing games is basically
what it is.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
Yeah, they say to be mysterious, and this is another
quote from the article. Answer questions with riddles like a
sexy bad how would that ever work? For?

Speaker 3 (05:28):
What time?

Speaker 1 (05:28):
Are going? Okay, be unpredictable? No, no, I don't like that.

Speaker 4 (05:37):
No, I need I need to know what's going on.
If you're unpredictable, I'm going to confuse it. I'm gonna
end up losing interest and then running away.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
It's surprising when flowers is one thing, but like unpredictable,
you can go bad.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
And the article literally says, don't not predictable in a
what is he up to?

Speaker 1 (05:51):
Way? Because that's boring? In a should I call the cops?

Speaker 3 (05:54):
Way? It's what they say texted hor next one, what
do you think is that gonna work for you?

Speaker 2 (05:59):
That's a sexy batman villain who doesn't want to hear
anything you have to say.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
You're right.

Speaker 3 (06:04):
Basically, he just wants to call you hot.

Speaker 4 (06:05):
Basically is you put sexy Batman in front of that,
and you got me.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
And I see women with men like this a lot. Yeah,
how did this guy get this girl? Now you know why.

Speaker 3 (06:19):
Sexy Batman
