Pokimane explains why men need to stop talking about the \u201cfriend zone\u201d YouTube: Pokimane \/ FreepikDuring the February 16 OfflineTV podcast, Twitch star Imane \u2018Pokimane\u2019 Anys discussed a variety of topics from dating to red flags in relationships. But the streaming personality had some blunt advice for guys who want to know how to get out of the friend zone. Pokimane is not only one of the most popular streamers on Twitch, she\u2019s an entertainment juggernaut with millions of followers across her YouTube and Instagram accounts. However during the \u2018GIRL TALK\u2019 edition of the OfflineTV podcast, the Moroccan-Canadian star opened up about dating, and explained why the friend zone needs to stop being talked about. The all-girl panel consisted of OfflineTV members Pokimane, Yvonnie, LilyPichu, and Twitch streamer Fuslie. As they kicked off the latest episode, Poki joked about what their audience wanted to learn from them. \u201cI bet what they\u2019re wondering, is how to get out of the friend zone,\u201d she said. She then gave advice for those curious and stated, \u201cAnd my number one tip is DON\u2019T ever talk about the friend zone. If a guy is ever like \u201cI feel like I\u2019m in the friend zone with you\u201d I\u2019m like nuh uh bye!\u201d she said, shaking her head and waving with her hand. Yvonnie agreed and explained \u201cusually how a guy gets out of the friend zone is that they\u2019ve just been a friend for so long and something happens.\u201d The Moroccan Canadian added, \u201cLike allow her to see you in different lights. Because one of those may trigger further interests!\u201d Pokimane opened up more on her thoughts on the subject, and exclaimed, \u201cEvery single time I instantly knew he wanted to date, not like he wanted to get to know me or just be friends, it just puts so much pressure on it. It\u2019s like were going on a DATE, not just hanging out and getting to know each other!\u201d She then said it bothered her when guys assume they know who she is as a person. \u201cIt feels like they think they know me, so they already know they want to date me. But I know they don\u2019t actually know me, because we haven\u2019t hung out much.\u201d The Twitch star then remembered a story when she was in seventh grade, and she shot down an admirer. \u201cThis guy told me he liked me. And I said \u201cno you don\u2019t. You don\u2019t even know me!\u201d I still feel that way, but I wouldn\u2019t say it like that,\u201d she said breaking into laughter. (Timestamp 03:22 for mobile users.) This isn\u2019t the first time Pokimane has given advice to her viewers on the issue of dating. She has also opened up about having to deal with fans who cross the line, and think they are friends in real life. The streamer continues to crush it on Twitch, and as of the time of writing has over 3.9 million followers on her channel, making her the top female personality on the platform.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
