Why do guys lead girls on?

Ok well first off the guys you are talking about are most likely jerks. Not all of us guys do that to girls.

One thing I get really tired of really fast is generalizations. They're stupid, unfair, and very disrespectful. One guy maybe a jerk to you but does it mean that the whole male gender is at fault, no. It isn't fair to the rest of us good guys.

And, girls can lead guys on too. not just guys. One of my exes lead me on and on, and she told me that she didn't love me and all that crap, that she was afraid that if she didn't say that she loved me then I would be sad and angry, and boy did I get angry at her, for she should've told me earlier instead of at that time. So can you really say that guys lead girls on. no, it can happen to both sides.

Yes we Do! Bottom line! If you keep going after assholes then you shouldn't be surprise. A guy that knows he can get any girl. Will just find easy girls like you to intimidate with sweet words and charm just so that he can feel that he still has it. Some guys like leaving girls wanting more so they can get laid faster (which really works) and if he already has a girl, then maybe he just needs a little excitement in his relationship an just wants to have fun with you. Or maybe you mention kids in the first ten minutes that you knew him (real bad mistake). Just stop expecting the best in people because that's just stupid. Guys don't really reach maturity until the age of 35 so don't be expecting little Mr. Romeo if your in high school college especially in grade school. And if you yourself are a flirt and just look forward too getting compliments everywhere you go then your life will be miserable and you'll find yourself heart broken and lonely. Because for us men a flirt is like a girl you can just nail, leave her the next day, never call her back, and not feel bad about it.

get of our case. girls do that to us constantly and we get our hearts broken at least as much as you do if not more so

Every guy is different and it's unfair to lump all of us together into one generalization. Some guys love attention and bathe in the knowledge that they can still sweet-talk a girl. Others are just unconscious flirts. The ones that give lame answers are usually the "players" and, unless you want your heart broken, you should stay away from them at all costs. But that's just my $0.02.

I'm pretty sure we're just trying to be nice.

I think some guys just get a thrill out of flirting with girls and in a way seeing how many they can "get." That and I think some guys may suck up to girls to try and get with them, or always have some one to be able to fall back on, and like someone already said, some just do it unintentionally and don't even notice. That's just how their personalities are.
