WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“What if you've been totally friendzoned as a brother and have zero romantic chance?”
💡 Cultural Insight: Treating someone like an older brother (dang gege)

In contemporary Chinese dating culture, treating an opposite-sex pursuer 'like an older brother' often reframes the relationship into familial affection or friendship, subtly signaling a lack of romantic attraction (similar to placing someone in the 'friend zone').
