Mostly no. There was one study I read which said there is one area in which it works: one night stands — specifically one night stands where you *never see the other person again*. In all other aspects, even one night stands where you might want to see them again for another fling, playing hard to get hurts a girl’s chances in getting the desired outcome. Fascinating stuff.
Depends on the person, but it often ends up backfiring and they lose interest.
Just be upfront about your feelings, and if they change. You both save so much time if you do.
I once dated a guy for Months and he was always trying to "one of the guys" with me. He played hard to get for too long and he blew it with this gal. It backfired on him.
playing anything never works just be ginuine and be yourself. Some men like open minded women and some men prefer modest and conservative women. It doesn't matter what they like. you just be you.
No. Unless the guy is a rapist which is probably not what you want. Stop believing the stuff you see in romantic comedies. It's not real.
It's a waste of time and will make somebody think you're not interested in them. If you want somebody around, you better act like it before they find someone who will
If someone plays those immature emotional games I would lose all interest permanently.
It would be an immature move if you want things to work out in favor
Then you get men who reach out. But then it’s like you’re the one in charge of keeping the convo going
Like I can only ask about you and your life so much. Stop reaching out if you not care to know more about me too
No not in my experience. I think honesty is the way to go. Be yourself upfront and offer what you have to give.
No, it does not work. It works better if you know how to play hard-to-get properly, but so few women know how to do it properly that you'd be better off not taking the chance.
What’s the proper way?
@lovelyhoneybones the proper way is to not do it at all.
Then why’d you say if you do it properly it works?
@lovelyhoneybones Because I'm trying to help you have positive and uplifting experiences with men. Learning how to play hard-to-get before you understand how to have healthy relationships with men is only going to leave you frustrated, heartbroken and disappointed.
Okay. Thank you. I appreciate it
@lovelyhoneybones No problem =) Best of luck in your man hunt
No they'll just move on to someone more responsive to their advances.
If you have to play games to get there attention there not ment to be
Is does work but never with the right guys
Playing hard is better than playing soft.
Playing hard to get sometimes works, sometimes doesn't.
It works, however men who fall for it are not interesting.
So it doesn't work.
Works when you're young and/or immature... less so when you starting aging out of that behaviour.
It will keep you single. If that’s your goal, then it will work great.
It's just attention seeking behavior for low self-esteem self centered women that seek validation. They want to feel valuable and know that someone will walk through a bed of nails to have them. It's like a guy that beats his wife because she made tuna casserole for dinner. If she stays, she really wants him... It's just a circle of abuse that healthy people want none of.
Nah. It turns a lot of guys off. Some guys like the mysterious girls and the ones who want guys to chase, but a lot of the time it isn’t worth their energy.
Honestly no cause in the end someone is bound to get hurt
It almost never works. I'd say never, but I suppose miracles can happen.
Only women tell other women that this works, and women seem to hate other women.
