Why Ladies Like Bro Zoning Most Men
Have you ever been bro zoned? As a man, this might be one of the most painful emotions to deal with. Most men have at once experienced this situation and it probably left a painful mark on their hearts.

What is to be bro zoned (brother zoned)?
This is a type of relationship where one partner is romantically interested in the other partner while the other only thinks of the partner like a brother.
It is a completely hopeless situation, far worse than the friend zone, where the pursuer should simply give up and pursue someone else.
Many "nice" guys who have been friends with a girl they like for too long without making a move suffer from the brother zone.
What is the difference between bro zone and friend zone?
Friend zone
For those who are unfamiliar with the term, a friend zone is a situation in which one of two friends develops feelings for the other that go beyond friendship.
The other person, on the other hand, is completely unaware of this and is quite content with the entire friend situation. As a result, one of them is trapped in the friend zone, while the other enjoys it.

Bro zone
A bro zone is a similar situation, albeit slightly worse. Regardless of gender, two people who are close friends can be referred to as 'bros.'
For example, if a guy refers to a girl as his bro, it means he considers her to be his buddy and one of the guys. That's terrible in a situation where the girl likes the guy and being seen as one of the guys completely closes the door to a relationship for her.
Why would a girl/ woman bro zone you?
Women make their own choices based on various factors on whether to bro zone you or to get into a romantic relationship with you. Here are some reasons why a lady would bro zone you.

1. Not interested in you
When a woman is not interested in you, as a man you should be able to notice this. As hard as you may try to please her, all this will be in vain because you are not her choice.
In such a case, as a man, you need to keep off and avoid doing too much to prevent yourself from being hurt.
The woman might also not be having the same feelings as you have towards her.
2. Scared of making the wrong choice
A woman may be afraid of getting into a relationship with you because of various reasons. One of the reasons may be based on the past mistakes that she made and she might not want to repeat the same mistake.
Having this in mind, you might be bro zoned for the longest time and wonder where the problem could be.
3. Not ready for a relationship
When getting into a serious relationship with your partner, one thing to put in mind is that you should prepare yourself mentally, physically, and psychologically for what is ahead of you. Sometimes, a woman might not be ready for a serious relationship with a man and this might make her bro zone you.
In such a scenario, as a man, you need to take some time and also give her some break so that you may, later on, approach her in the matter.
4. Religion
Some women adhere to their religious practices and do not break the rule of getting into a relationship at an early age. With these practices, a woman may bro zone you.
How to act when a girl has bro-zoned you
Treat her as a dude while secretly loving her as a girlfriend. If you don't want her to call you her brother, start acting like it.
Don't always be available; the more you ignore her, the faster she will let go. Understand how to say NO!
Never, ever, ever tell her you like her!
Hang out with other girls. (Girls can get really jealous)
Girls usually fall for bad boys who will break their hearts and then look for a shoulder to cry on, which would be a bro-zoned guy like you, and they will fall for another bad boy while you're safely tucked away in the backup!!
Give her some breathing room (space), make a void, and let her feel your absence. Soon she'll realize one of two things: First, she'll realize your worth, miss your presence, be jealous of other girls you're hanging out with, and develop feelings for you; second, she'll realize there were no feelings from your end and release you from that label; either way, you'll be valued far more this time because you set your boundaries with her.
While you're giving her some space, work on yourself by going to the gym, going out with your friends, meeting new girls, and simply relaxing! Stop obsessing over one girl; there's a whole world out there to discover.
Play Smart!!
