He’s an original member of the notorious Counter-Strike clan, Pubmasters. And if you don’t know who they are – that’s okay, everyone starts out as a nub. Their video (released sometime around 2003) is posted below.
Anyhow, Kevin is currently a 24-year-old masters student in engineering at a prestigious university. These facts establish Kevin simply an uber-geek among others, but one feat makes his dick larger than the rest: he managed to escape the Friend Zone. Read on to find out how.
Oh, and Kevin “isn’t” his real name.
INITIAL MEETINGS
| PIXGEEK | so, who is she? |
| KEVIN | before i met her, i remember, my 2nd year in college, i copied her hw. |
| it would always get passed around. | |
| PIXGEEK | (passed around, rofl) |
| KEVIN | yeah, that’s how i knew of her. she was the person i copied all my homework from for EE2. |
| PIXGEEK | how did you eventually meet her? |
| KEVIN | there’s this asian group of friends, she knew most of them i knew most of them. also, my friend lived in the apt under us and he liked her a lot, so she was always at his place. |
| PIXGEEK | when you guys eventually met, did you show any kind of interest in her? |
| KEVIN | nope. i didnt really talk to her much or anything. anytime i went downstairs, it was just to hang out with the guys, and she was there. |
| btw, im at her place right now | |
| ROFL |
ROUND ONE: BOY LIKES GIRL. GIRL LIKES BOY. BOY STOPS LIKING GIRL.
| PIXGEEK | did she show any attraction to you initially? |
| KEVIN | no. not until 4th year, fall quarter. |
| PIXGEEK | who developed feelings for who first? |
| KEVIN | me for her. |
| i would go hang out with her a lot at her place. | |
| i went to certain club events and shit just to see her. | |
| and then, she seemed like she kinda liked me back | |
| but then i stopped. | |
| PIXGEEK | rofl, what |
| KEVIN | there were two other guys who liked her: one guy i didn’t like and one guy who is currently my roommate. |
| i was like, too much – i quit. |
ROUND TWO: THE FRIEND ZONE
| PIXGEEK | since you guys are together now, it wouldn’t make sense if it ended there. also, i know that the second time around, you got raped hard by the friend zone. |
| KEVIN | she said things like |
| she did not like me | |
| she would be a terrible gf | |
| we had the same group of friends so it might be weird | |
| she didn’t want to lose me as a friend if we broke up | |
| shit like that | |
| PIXGEEK | so the big question here is – WHAT THE SHIT DID YOU DO TO ESCAPE? |
| KEVIN | hang out with her |
| 24/7 | |
| + alcohol | |
| thats it | |
| PIXGEEK | um. |
| elaborate. | |
| KEVIN | ROFL |
| i mean, i was a really good friend to her | |
| like, we’d go out drinking every thursday | |
| go to the football games | |
| eat lunch together | |
| one day, when you’re drunk, you’ll find yourself incapable of going home | |
| so you stay over | |
| and then make out with her | |
| and the rest is history | |
| PIXGEEK | congratulations – give this man a motherfucking cigar. |
A DRY ESCAPE?
| PIXGEEK | do you think you could’ve done it without the substance abuse? |
| KEVIN | um |
| no | |
| rofl | |
| PIXGEEK | explain yourself, sir. |
| KEVIN | it gave us the opportunity to be more than friends for a moment. without that, she wouldn’t have given me that chance. and she would not have known that perhaps she does like me a little. |
| PIXGEEK | before that fiery, drunken romance, did you make it clear that you had feelings for her? |
| KEVIN | yes, and she said: |
| “I DON’T LIKE YOU” | |
| “HOW MANY TIMES DO I NEED TO SAY IT?” | |
| PIXGEEK | so why persist? |
| KEVIN | she liked me as a friend. |
| but honestly, i felt like she did like me | |
| if you dont feel something | |
| it’s impossible to escape the friend zone | |
| but at the same time, you cant be a jackass and force yourself to her. i felt like she still liked me. if i didn’t feel that way, i would’ve just given up. |
THE FRIEND ZONE SCALE
| PIXGEEK | i pulled this thing called the “friend zone scale” out of my ass |
| i mean, with good intention | |
| which stage would you say you spent the majority of your time in? | |
| KEVIN | probably 4. then it went to 5. and then jailbreak. |
| people would ask us if we were together, because we would be close and do lots of stuff together. | |
| PIXGEEK | do you think it’s possible to get from stage 1 all the way to stage 6? |
| KEVIN | rofl, gl hf |
| PIXGEEK | not even with alcohol? |
| KEVIN | i think it’s impossible |
| i think most women get an initial impression | |
| and they either like you, kinda like you, or don’t like you | |
| if you get stuck in the don’t section | |
| i don’t think you can really change things drastically enough to get out |
CONCLUSION
It seems as though that alcohol is the easiest route to success. But does it have to be this way? Kevin brought up some good points regarding a woman’s initial impression. Think about it like this: is she worth it? Check out the next part of this series, where we’ll be further discussing the reasons of why you’re in the Friend Zone.

He should have just bought her a fish sandwich and saved himself time.
Playing Counter-Strike (in any form) in this day and age is not geeky, just pitiful
Same goes for Starcraft.
@ Joel – sigh.

you do know people are only looking at this post to listen to the songs from the pubmasters video
If you’re down around stage one or two in the zone, even if you do hook up after some substance abuse you’ll only lose her as a friend. It’ll get “awkward” and she won’t feel right about hanging out with you anymore.
Alcohol is great for getting laid but it’s not a cure-all. It’s good for getting people to make “good” mistakes — pushing a limit they’re a bit too shy to push when sober. But if you’re too deep in the zone it becomes a “bad” mistake and you’ll be lucky if you even talk to her after that night.
Also, the chart is an inexact science. With this one girl I was up around stage five — she’d slept in my bed and we did cuddly things — but she still flat-out rejected me as anything more than a friend. I tried too hard to break out and we ended up losing the friendship.
Girls are lame. :P
