Why do women play mind games on men. What do you get from doing so?

And men dont do this? Ever? I am not saying for a second that some women don't do this but you didn't phrase your question that way. You say "women" which would mean all of us do it. I dont know if you've been burned once or twice or a dozen times but the fact is that guys do the same thing too. You may be innocent of it but not all of you. I see a reply down below asking who does it more consciously. I'd love to see a source for that very obvious insinuation. It is sad that people make such remarks out of pure speculation. Mind games dont end well for anyone and only deepen what is already a divide between two people. Look at that word... divide. Now that isn't good in any relationship whether it be friends, boyfriend/girlfriend, mother/son, etc. No one should play games regardless of gender and don't fool yourself that guys dont do it too.

Both men and women can engage in manipulative behaviors within relationships. If you can't see that, you don't get out much. Sadly, playing mind games is a way of testing boundaries, withholding affection, or creating artificial scarcity to gauge the other person's interest and both genders do it.

Which does it more consciously?

Only immature people do that. It has nothing to do with gender
