It's always important to have back ups on a regular basis, wait that is just data....

1) Does the writer really think men don't do this as well? although men were not polled to verify this. I am surprise. The writer is a massive Sexist.
2) Does she really think most men will be shocked at this possibility, even if they don't do it themselves?
3) I'm fairly sure I've been that bloke on more than one occasion. If you have a good time out of it (and I did), what's the problem?

It seems a very arrogant portrayal of the issue to me.

By the way, photo hipster overload.

Why cover both genders in one article, when you can save the other gender for a follow up?

So, being friendzoned means we are someone's back-up plan?
Bollocks.
Saying that it's true is like saying that a male cannot be friends with a female unless he wants to have sex with them (which is also bollocks - just for the record).

Somehow, I very very much doubt the writer is going to put an equivalent article up where the final quote essentially says "Ladies, be much nicer to your bloke or he'll leave you for some other woman who you thought was just his friend". I'll eat one of my various hats and post photos of me doing so on here if that article shows up.
