I watched him sit in the tree for about ten minutes, then he recovered his wits and flew off. It put a smile on my face.

You're missing the basic point. If you tell a girl you like her, you should at least leave a five second pause to see if she doesn't recoil in disgust. If she doesn't, say something other than, "Peace out, bitches!"

If a girl friendzone/brozones you, you still have a purpose in her life.

You are her friend or bother unit and you need to respect that, relish in it, and keep her in your life.

Just because she doesn't wanna bang you doesn't mean she has no use in your daily life.

I definitely see where you're coming from, and while I never condone anyone doing something to someone else without their consent, it sucks being friend-zoned. I think girls tend to think it's a nice gesture, but to guys it's generally not. It's "you're not good enough for me to date" to most guys, I think.
