Wow. So 76% of women do not believe they act mean to test you, but 61% of guys think they do!
I think there is a deeper issue here, which is that frequently what a man understands as "mean" is not how a woman understands it.
When a woman raises an issue that needs resolving, most men (except the mature ones) react and consider that being 'mean'. Then they ignore or resist the issue, which makes her feel extremely hurt, and as if she is not safe in the relationship.
She may then retaliate at that point, or become passive aggressive. Then this confirms his judgment that she is "mean". She is really just deeply hurt that the man is unwilling to work on the connection - because underneath she wants to have an open heart around him.
I think the man usually interprets the situation as "why can't she just love me "as I am"? " and then he feels as though her desire for deeper connection is 'creating drama' and imputing some sense that he is inadequate, which is why he feels it's "mean'.
Being mean and throwing insults? Something i would not do BUT i would poke fun at you in a harmless way. I want to see how you react. I want to see if you can poke fun at me back, or even laugh it off/laugh at yourself. That to me shows confidence, it shows me that your comfortable in your own skin. That to me is freaking hot
Reminds me of a neighbor I had growing up. Always tested me and gave me a hard time about dumb shit. Gave me shit about not knowing the pledge of aledgence. I was like 11. AFAIK she never really seems to have a boyfriend still lives at home, while her other siblings moved out on their own. I don't think she's changed much 20 years later and im surprised her brothers never set her straight. Maybe they tried I don't know.
I would imagine that there are girls out there that would do that. It is a pretty shitty thing to do.

Not really. But I would distance myself etc just to see if he will fight for me then yes. But I don’t think that’s a women behaviour thing I think it’s just me projecting my insecurities.
Nah, If I'm being mean, its showing disinterest XD i ain't playing no games like a 5 year old in the school playground
Girls can be mean, and psychotic for no reason. Doesn't mean they are into you.
Some probably do that. That's a very crappy thing to do to a person. I wouldn't do that to someone
Yes! It's a test. Girls denying it will be another test as well. Girls will lead a guy astray to test his strength to see if you truly know or are questioning it. It's a woman's job to keep it a secret. They can't make it known for various reasons such as self esteem and physical safety.
Furthermore... There's a chemical hormone called progesterone that allows for testing to occur consciously and subconsciously. This has been confirmed by evolutionary psychologists and other professionals
I would drop all communication. This childish behavior is not worth my time. If she does that, she is not wife material.
I think it's very stupid to do that, unless you want to end up single. If a girl is being mean to me, I'm dumping her.
I would never think of doing that. I feel like if I was rude it would make them not like me anymore. Teasing them yes, Thats just playful mean
I would consider this as really stupid excuse for uncontrolled outbreaks of their insanity.
I personally never do that, however, I like teasing a lot (and being teased back) and take it pretty far sometimes, but can only do that if I feel sure it is taking as teasing and not being mean.
If you're attractive then it could mean they think you're too good for them. If they are actually interested in you then she's playing games and being "hard to get"
No, if I'm being mean to someone I have a legit reason for that. I don't test. I'm too tired to do that shit.
If she is then don't waste your time with such person. Down the road will be the same nonsense head games.
They must have some feeling for you or they just would not bother do any thing...
Women put men through all kinds of shit tests, which is why it's best not to date them in the first place.
I wouldn't be mean.
no, she's just vain and stupid
I can't answer this.
No, she probably just doesn’t like the guy.
I don't do that so no.
