Guys, Is it true you prefer when a girl shows less interest over someone clingy?

Because anytime I've been really into a guy he seems to pull away. But when I'm not interested it makes them chase more.

This comes down to balance as well as two extremes. It also comes down to compatibility. I obviously want someone whose interested in me and shows investment. But can also respect healthy boundaries.

Some people are more clingy others need space I don’t think that either one of those things is bad. Obviously, there is unhealthy extremes absolutely. But it’s compatibility. Someone more clingy needs a clingy partner. Someone who needs space needs someone who also needs space.

As far as dating some people loose interest for some people who are playing games it’s about the chase… and once they get it. Yeah they loose interest. At the same time, playing hard to get tends to chase off people who genuinely want to build a relationship. Why? They either assume you’re not that into them or are playing games.

People who chase what they can’t have. Tend to not make the best long term partners.

Well, a girl being clingy can also be attractive. However, yes the girl should know how to control that clinginess. A little bit of clinginess can actually be attractive because that would show the woman cares and it is way of showing her attraction and likeness towards the man.

Just a little bit I said. Not too much. Too much of clinginess will spoil it completely.

That being said, it would depend on the man as to what kind of woman he finds attractive. For some men, they would prefer to the woman to be straightforward, mature and to show their genuine interest if they are actually interested otherwise just say no.

However, for some men they can also like the woman more when she does not show interest or plays hard to get etc. Means the woman not being so mature. Some men tend to find these qualities attractive.

No not at all. Women tend to respond that way, especially when all men usually kiss her as but then you get the one man who thinks whatever bitch. That’s when she takes an interest cause you have a man who is treating her different than most of the men do. For men we want a balance, we want to be needed but not the point of you can’t do a damn thing for yourself. You being clingy can be a turn off. A girl who is clingy will push you away because as a person you’re still autonomous. So when she’s always asking where you at, what you doing, etc, etc, it gets annoying, controlling, a sign of things to come.

I like it when they're clingy, but it's good to have a balance between clinginess and independence.

Guys do go for women who show less interest, but we're used to most women not being interested until you show a lot of effort.

Both are immature. Clingy isn't healthy and being stand offish isn't healthy. People who are likely that do so because of unresolved issues. Clingy means they are anxious and insecure and distant means they are avoidant and don't understand vulnerability.

Its a balancing act... you have to show interest of course but go into the clingy zone and for me that would be the kiss of death

[DonaldDarko]

Seems counter productive. I won't chase at all, if she's not interested she's not interested.

It's true in most cases... but in my case I prefer romantic, clingy and chatty partner 😅

Nope.
