If you think about it fat is considered unattractive because by being fat you are limited to defending yourself and it was not practical in the primitive years. Similarly men dont like fat women because of the same reason. It sometimes comes down to working out and being normal, you dont need to be ripped but being normal will work just as well. I saw this when i reduced weight, women felt comfortable and they wanted to talk to me more. Let us be very clear and not sugar coat about the fat acceptance non-sense, being fat is also a health concern.

Like, if that's your lifestyle, cool, but don't try to project onto a preschooler's TV show. I've even see some folks go hardcore on the shipping of the kid characters!! 🤮 Bluey and her friends are 7 year olds, they're basically sexualizing a child, and when you tell them that, they get all defensive, trying to spout crap about how it's "just a cartoon show about talking dogs, it's not that deep." It is when you're basically perverting a wholesome, innocent children's program! Why can't those weird ass grown ups just let the kids have an uncorrupted TV show!? It's too easy for kids who like MLP to accidentally see some nasty ass shit, and those adults shouldn't be putting that garbage into public spaces (both online and offline) that exist to mainly cater to their underage audiences!

Felix after seeing neckbeard: Are those sideburns an American thing? Felix after seeing actual yee-yee ass sideburns that happen to be Swedish: Oh yeah those are pretty cool

I met my gf because we worked together, and she for some reason thought I was cute and nice. I thought the same for her and a few months later we were dating. Now, we have been dating for more than a year and are doing great. I never tried to compare her to a list to see if the met the "qualifications", she never compared me to a list either (As far as I am aware lol) and we are doing good. You aren't hiring someone lol

When I was like twelve, I went to bronycon with a friend who was really into MLP, because they had an extra ticket. I’ve never seen it and had no interest but she promised me that there would be other fandom stuff there so I went. It was pretty cool, but there were definitely way too many weirdos.

I can't even get to the friend part without trying to distance myself

The "friendzone" isn't real. I had a male friend for 3 YEARS, with zero romantic interest in him until one day when we were talking and found out that we both hated children. From there, I told him about my medical issues with having kids, and how to fix the issues, most surgeons will require that I've either already had kids, or have a husband who will sign a consent form. He agreed that was absolutely bullshite. And voila, romantic interest hit me like a freight train. (Edit: said friend is now my fiance, about to be my husband in a couple more weeks) The key here isn't that he "managed to get out of the friendzone" but rather that he never considered himself to be in it in the first place. He was just himself around me. We have similar humor (dark) and hobbies (we met playing Minecraft!) and even a similar idea of what constitutes a clean house. If these guys would just have friendships without constantly pining after every nerdy thing with tits, they'd have a much higher chance of one of those nerdy things actually being interested in them. Friendship is a step towards romance, not away. The only reason the "friendzone" has gotten so infamous is because women started using "let's just be friends" as a gentle way to turn down creepy guys/guys who didn't take no for an answer so that the guys would be less likely to freak out or try to hurt or force them. It really irritates me to see guys talking about it like it's a real, physical place that women put them in and that they can work their way out if they just toss enough cheesy lines and awkward flirts.

Or maybe they just propose being friends so that hopefully they guy will decline them himself 😅 but yea, the "just" friends thing is annoying to me Also nice story about how you met your fiance, congrats.

My partner of 7 years is my best friend first. We have a dating history in high school - 10 months so forever lol - but ended on bad terms. I reached out years later (Pokémon Go was truly a magical time) because my son wanted to go more places, I couldn't drive, and I remember despite the messy break up he was just a genuinely good guy. I'm surprised he even messaged me back. I was dating someone else when we were hanging out and didn't look at my best friend as being a bf. Besides, messy past. I do think watching him with my son is what started to spark that romantic interest. My then bf didn't click with him the same way and tbh it was more of a physical thing with him anyways. There was a moment that my current partner and I almost broke up early in the relationship and the thing he was torn up about was not only losing me but also not getting to be there for my son. They grew very close. My son considers him more of a father than his actual father. But yeah, being friends first is important. My mom said marry your best friend and I completely agree.

The friend zone definitely is real. I know many women who will keep guys in this zone because they get all the benefits of a boyfriend without the expectations on their part. This whole “all men are scary so we need to lie” is a weak excuse because chances are a dude who’s gonna freak out if you reject him knows that “let’s be friends” is rejection

I'm amazed at how many people are upset by the term friendzone - it's the place you go to when someone doesn't have the same feelings you do, but still wants to be friends with you. Someone's reaction to being friendzoned tells you what kind of person they are, and there's no shame in having a crush on people you know. It's people who say 'OMG I got friendzoned, I deserve them more than anyone else because I'm such a nice person!' that scare me. Those people need to go to therapy for thinking another human being belong to them.

I think part of the problem is people use "friendzone" to describe a few different things. Some people have others on their "hook" (thank you, HIMYM), and keep them as a backup or validation when their intended romantic target doesn't work out. This is the scenario that I think some men are talking about when they complain about the friend zone. However, I think that if you're romantically interested in someone and they just want to be friends, you should walk away. It puts unfair pressure on the other person, and it makes you constantly want more, it's a recipe for disaster. And people don't owe you relationships for doing nice things for them either.

I've told someone once that he stank. He was a friend but he didn't drive and one day we were driving in my very small car during hot weather. My nose couldn't handle it any more. So I told him: you know, maybe you should take a shower more often because sometimes you don't smell that good. He was shocked but he is still a friend and he doesn't smell anymore. He had no clue that he smelled. My nose thanked me for that.

Congrats to Felix and Marzia on the birth of their baby. ❤

Those of you in the friendzone, it's okay to take your shot and just ask the person out on a date. Confidence is attractive. Just don't be pushy and don't be a big baby about it if you do get turned down. Respect people's boundaries. Brush it off and keep living your life. Rejection hurts and it can suck, but how you react says a lot about your character.

THEY are the ones who are letting her get away with it. If you're feeling friendzoned then you acknowledge you don't want to be merely friends, and so you should learn to disengage and move on. Because either you'll feel used or she'll feel deceived. Unless they're threatening your livelihood or personal safety, the friend zone relationship is purely your own problem to free yourself from.

As far as the whole "nervous to talk to girls" part, I think Its the fear of rejection for most. Being bullied and whatnot, I was so scared to approach anyone I would like to ask out because people are mean and I was terrified of what they would say.

There is a thing called being "nose blind" If you are around the same smell for so long, the smell isn't really noticeable to you anymore. It's like a person with a house full of cats. You walk in and KNOW but they aren't aware of the smell.

I actually really appreciate the few people who've been polite enough and discrete about telling me when I smell. I already don't have a good sense of smell, add that to getting used to scents fast, I'm super self-concious about smelling. So thank you to the few people who've let me know! It's helped me find ways to prevent it especially on hot days (other than deodorant, I sometimes have a little baby powder that I'll dab over it when I sweat-and I also carry a small water bottle that I freeze overnight, and let cool down over the day because a quick spray to the neck or face helps with more than just cooling down)

cats smell great to me. When I was in high school, someone had told me "I always smell like my cat" and I was like "No surprise I'm always with her. Is it in a bad way or good way?" They just said that it didn't really smell "bad" but it was a specific smell. I do wonder, what is a cat smell to other people? Cuz I can't smell it

I love how Felix saying that bronies don’t deserve love is the first thing he said on KZread since having a child😂

I’ve never been a PDP fan, but the flat agreement and listening skills he showed while Kenny discussed the poop thing has given me new appreciation for him 😅

My husband is a nerd. When I met him he was awkward to talk to, waaay to enthusiastic and eager (I was modeling and acting at the time and he had no idea how to talk to me) and i firmly put him into the friendzone. But here's the thing, it was the best thing i could have done. Being good friends for 2 years before we started dating meant I actually got to know him properly and he relaxed around me and stopped being so awkward. Once I got to know the real him, rest is history. 11 years together and he can proudly say he escaped the friendzone 😂

Can I just say that the whole friend zone thing is not only guys. It happens to women, too. Like Ken said, and Felix said not everyone is going to like the other person.

Dated a dude very much like this guy, even a brony too, and it was the worst 4 months. I had moved in because I’ve known him most of my life, but holy shit, I did NOT know him. Walking into his home filled with hundreds of POP figures, nude anime figures, nude anime girl posters IN THE KITCHEN, and body pillows of nude children. I wanted to bounce sooner, but he stole my cash savings and it took me a bit to get it back. What was the worst, was him and how he felt about my ptsd from sexual assault. He said he would respect it, and all the happened was me getting assaulted again. I know it’s not all of them, but these dudes are not that different from eachother, and I’m sorry, but I’ll never look at a brony or a Uber cringe nerd like this without seeing a pedophile and rapist. They’re disgusting.

If you're gonna have nude anime posters and figures, have a "private room" for em or smth. Have that division in ur life.

Not really, fandoms in Europe are very different. I remember back when I used to play WoW, our main tank was a kickbox European Champion and our healer was a model at an agency, she was drop dead gorgeous. Honestly we always avoided americans because they were loud and had a thing for starting drama 😅.

When felix said "so i asked my sister" and took a pause 😭🤣

I went on a blind date with a guy who needed "Dutch courage" in order to talk to me. AKA, he needed a drink and even then, he barely spoke to me and spent more time talking to everyone else at the bar. It was so awkward

As someone who participated in gaming and anime school clubs when I was in high school and college, I can confirm that most of the people there are genuinely nice and just very open about their passions. The actual weirdos tend to stand out in a way that everyone can pick up on but unfortunately, with a decent portion being socially awkward, people often don’t feel comfortable doing anything about the creeps beyond acknowledging “that’s weird,” so afab people can wind up driven away from those spaces when they start feeling unsafe. I’ve definitely encountered creepy guys who have resorted to stalking and it just makes participating in those otherwise fun geeky spaces feel uncomfortable. It’s wild how quickly a creepy person can shift a normal conversation into one-sided obsession :/ Personal example: One of those stalkers was someone who was in the same tech major as me in college. Before the stalking began, we had a brief conversation in a common area on-campus about how it’s cool that our school is adding a Smash Bros club. He asked if I’d have any interest in playing that game with him, so I said “assuming we both decide to join that club then I’m sure that’d eventually happen,” he seemed happy with the answer and walked away. But then the next day, he showed up outside my dorm saying that he’s ready to play Smash Bros (I never told him where I lived and I hadn’t even gone home until several hours after that conversation the day prior) 🙃 The stalking escalated from there but creeps really will just twist the smallest fun things into a nightmare for unsuspecting people who were just being friendly. PSA: it’s fine if you’re awkward, just don’t make things legitimately weird

It's called being "Nose Blind" Ken and it's a genuine phenomenon.

felix talking about americans like he doesnt literally live in japan

When you asked about men being unable to talk to women, it’s because they go into it viewing it as transactional. It’s not meeting someone to get to know them, they see it as a means to an end and assume the girl isn’t gonna like them bc of the nice guy / nerd trope.

As a woman, as soon as we got to 15:53, I'd be walking out so fast

11:00 i believe its due to a superiority complex where the guy feels the girl is superior to them and they place them on a pedistal. The same happens with a job interview when you know eveything is riding on impressing this "higher power person."

My man stood his ground . And she came running to him

22:18 One of Ken's kids putting on a singing performance in the bg is adorable lol

I knew a lady who explained why girls like the "bad-boy attitude." It's the "I can fix him" mentality. According to her.

Pretty much. Every friend of mine who was into the "bad boy" type were obsessed with fixing the dude because "I'm the only one who really understands him and can help him." Personally, I think that if you feel that in order to be happy in the relationship, you HAVE to change them, just move on.

You see this all the time in fandom too. People love "bad boys" and write fix-it stories about them all the time. It's just an aspect of human nature, really.

I feel for this guy. I was super awful when it came to talking to women. I would say cringey shit and just randomly stop talking because I would be thinking way too much. Then something finally clicked and I was like "talk to them like gosh dang normal person." Now it's easy to talk to everyone.

The "NOOO" after the MMO comment was top 😂

Congratulations Felix and Marzia 🎉🎉🎉

My now husband is a very shy person and he has often told me if I had not initiated the conversation that started our relationship, we would not be together today. It kind of makes me sad to think he struggled like that for so long but for us it work out well in the long run.

Thanks, Ken this video was really eye-opening. I have always been that guy that waiting for the 'perfect' girl. But thanks to this video, I have realized I won't go anywhere with that mindset. Let me put myself out there and see how it goes. Truly. Gold content.
