About

Friend Zone Fiona is an advice animal image macro series with a stock photo of a laughing girl. The caption technique is similar to Successful Black Man, where the top refers to something a girl would say romantically followed by the bottom text confirming that she is just a friend.

Origin

"Friend zone" is a dating term describing a relation in which one person wants to become intimate while the other prefers to stay friends. It has been frequently portrayed through popular music and TV sitcoms, with the earliest instance attributed to a 1994 episode of Friends in which the character Ross is labeled "mayor of the Friend zone" after unsuccessfully chasing after Rachel. The idea of being stuck in the "friend zone" was previously alluded in the 1989 comedic hip hop song "Just a Friend" by Biz Markie.

The original stock photo of "Friend Zone Fiona" was taken as part of a set the weekend of July 14th – 16th in Kansas City, MO.[1] TriggerPhoto uploaded the image to iStockphoto[2] on October 15th, 2006 with the description "Jessica Simpson alike laughing." The first Friend Zone Fiona image macro was submitted to the Advice Animals sub-Reddit[3] on August 15, 2011, receiving 62 points.

Ladder Theory

The Ladder Theory[12] is a colloquial theory used to explain how people determine the dating potential of others. While not scientific, it claims that women have separate "ladders" to rate the relationships in their lives: one for platonic friends and the other for romantic partners. On the other hand, men have one ladder for everyone.[13]
