The comic doesn't have anything to do with the situation you described.

I agree that it's a little ridiculous, most sane people wouldn't expect a reward for not raping someone, but the comic still has nothing to do with emotional manipulation or whatever. There is no context in the comic.

So you're being downvoted because a) your comments don't add to the discussion of this topic and b) your assumptions are all over the place and kinda ridiculous.

If I used my boyfriend emotionally and he was "too stupid to let go" I would be in a teensy minority of girls who behave like cunts. Guys can behave like this too.

Just because you experienced it or saw it happening, doesn't mean that it's the norm.

Seriously though, if you want to listen to some genuine advice, get the friend zone out of your head.

It will only make you bitter, etc. If you want to be friends with a girl, do that. If one of you wants something more, figure out how to be friends or not see each other again if it doesn't work out. If it's mutual, great! If a girl is treating you badly, leave the relationship/ friendship. If you are treating someone badly, stop being an asshole.

Really, if you stop thinking about how every girl is so horrible or whatever you're trying to say and you just take people for what they are, you'll be happier and meet more people.
