Why do so many women fake wanting a relationship just to gain guys interest?

[Anonymous]

You see it repeatedly with women. They really don't want a relationship with any man (yes I realize women are reading this right now and denying it even to themselves). But they feign interest in a guy just for attention.

What exactly do you women get out of that. Is it the illusion you create? Or is it just the knowledge, the challenge of manipulating a guy to act a certain way?

If that is your impression from the women in your life, you need to find a new way or a new place to meet women, because they are not all like that. Or you need to discover what you are doing that makes women respond in that way.

Not the women in my life. That's why I said "many women". No sir! I don't suffer toxic people for very long. 👍 I agree they are not all like that. I know many very wonderful women. Which is why I can spot the difference.

Where are you meeting these fakes?

It’s to gain control. A form of feeling superior to men. When guys give a vibe to female that he is useless and powerless and she senses he is a type to mistreat women, why not have some fun and piss him off.
It’s a sign that you need to leave women alone and mind your own business.

My theory is that it makes them feel powerful or it’s vindictive.

That's what the anon pink said as well.

They are bored with their current relationship.

Assuming they have won. Most of these women really don't have a relationship. Not any sort of healthy one. That's kind of my point. They're entire experience with entails thier manipulation of them. That's not love. It could be she has issues with control, it could be she simply doesn't know HOW to love another human beings, it could be she doesn't value anyone else.

one* not won.

Or they just like being a tease.

Yes, the question was about the "why". What exactly do they get out of it. Is it learned toxicity that they don't even realize they have? Or is it willful ignorance?
