Does reverse psychology work on men?

[Anonymous]

If I show less interest in this guy, do you think he will be more interested?

He chased me before and then when I showed interest, he became distant lol

[BasicFlake]

Not necessarily, no. If there is someone that I'm not interested in and they show me no interest I will not care, because I'm not interested. If I'm trying to act cool and pretend that I have no interest when I really do then yes, I would care.

It comes down to whether this guy actually likes you at all or not.

Also, bear in mind that if you play games then sometimes they backfire. You might show less interest and then some other girl might show more interest and boom, he's with her.

[Asker]

that's a good way to test if he is really interested then

[FriendlyDrugDealer]

For most cases it won't work, if I'm a guy and this girl I'm talking to shows little to no interest in me, I'm going to try my luck elsewhere, simple as that.

Some guys and I mean a small category of guys like that which is a bit concerning but to eachs own

[RedRobin]

So what would you do if you actually don't like a guy? Will you show more interest in him so he knows you don't like him?

[BasicFlake]

@RedRobin You done broke the universe :'( You can't reverse the reverse psychology, it's like dividing zero by one, it just makes everyone die. This is what killed the dinosaurs!

[RedRobin]

@BasicFlake Just pointing out that it doesn't really work like that, if you show less interest in a guy he'll think you won't like him

[FissionStockMaster]

If you act like your not interested then it means to us your not interested. And guys will chase for a while, but (atleast for me) that prolonged 'hard to get' shit only makes us think once you come around that you came around because your options ran out.

Not generally.
Women fall for the "negs" and reverse psychology because women shit test and constantly strive for attention. SO when a guy tells her he isn't interested, it makes her feel like "WHAT, WHY, I'M Good enough" and she needs to prove to herself that she is what she thinks she is and it will make her chase him.

Guys are used to women treating us like we are disposable and shit.
When a female tells us we are not good enough, we are like "alright, whatever bitch" and we walk.

[Asker]

He chased me first and we made out. I feel like he doesn't put any effort now, and I initiated everything after that... he said we should take a coffee sometime but I don't know what to say

[Opinion Owner]

If you want him and he is asking you out for coffee, then you should say yes.
Guys don't like that "hard to get" bullshit. If you want to hang out and he asks, then say yes, don't say no when you mean yes and hope he will try harder. He won't.

[Asker]

He didn't say when I think he is trying to be nice :(

Reverse psychology will always backfire if you try it on me. I guess it might work on some men but definitely not me. Anyway, can you please rate me?

[Telekinetic-Potato]

That probably only works if you've been annoying him and not giving him enough space. Some girls just won't leave the guy their crushing on alone and if you do it the wrong way it's a turn off.

[Browneye57]

Most will not put up with a lot of games. Guys are direct, girls are all about covert and nuanced communication. If you want a guy to understand something you have to tell it to him straight. Otherwise he just doesn't get it.

[UltraGamer]

it depends on the guy, some guys respond to disinterest is a positive way others just don't. He may be shy.

[fueledbythc]

When you showed interest he got insecure and thought it was unreal that you had interest in him. Show disinterest and he's moving on.

[Asker]

So, how should I deal with him? He became distant when I showed interest.

[MadP3te]

@asker I believe the dude is correct about what happened but instead of stop showing take the lead and be obvious so he believes it :))

[Anonymous]

"If I show less interest in this guy, do you think he will be more interested?"

Almost definitely not. Guys are simple that way.

[Kurodo]

I hate these games and anyone who's actually only interested after you do it just makes it all worse.

[curiousnorway]

I don't think it would work on anyone. If you looks uninterested, they would think you're.

[AmrDoma]

It can work with some people. Try it, if he gets distant, try to show it. If he gets too far away, build up and express your feelings.

Better luck With tits and a grilled chicken sandwich

[MisterSir]

he might just actually think you're not interested and move on...

[Thebalance32]

That's not how reverse psychology works.

[Anonymous]

if you keep that so long he will give up

[disgustingweebtrash]

That doesn't work.

[CT_CD]

No..

[Araon]

I don't think so

[BanterBlitz]

Yes, and yes.
