I think it boils down to a sense of pride and accomplishment within the man.
A lot of guys want there to be a chase because it gives us a goal to accomplish, and when you win you may feel great, but you may not actually remember why you were playing. Or what you even won.
On the other side you have those that just want it easy. Who don't want a competition, they want to be cared for and know that your interested in just them and not a plethora of other dudes.
Lastly there's those in the middle. Who like a little chase to feel accomplished. But also want to have that reassurance that you are into only them and have a perceived look of loyalty.
Personally I don't like the chase. I don’t need to feel proud or special. Because I already know I am special. And I don’t need someone else to validate my accomplishments, because I can dictate how I feel about them. So I would much rather have an easy time getting to know each other and clearly seeing that they are in to me and want just me. But all forms are totally normal and can be healthy in their own ways.

I love a good challenge. When I first saw my wife I knew I had to have her. She was dating my brother when I first met her. She eventually broke up with him and dated a guy from my school. I got a job where she worked and we became good friends. She only saw her boyfriend when he came to her house for sex. He never took her out or bought her things. On her birthday I bought her a gold name ring, took her out to dinner and a movie.
She still lived with her parents but her room was behind the garage and she had her own entrance.
After the movie on her birthday we went back to her room. He showed up empty handed and drunk. I hid in the garage. She told him that they were done. She didn't want to see him again. After he left we had sex

No, god no, we fucking despise women playing "hard to get."
I like hard to get girls when I was a kid. The thrill of the chase, the sense of accomplishment when you won her over, that feeling that you're the special one that was able to get her attention... Now that I'm older, I don't have time for that shit. We either have a connection or we don't and if we don't, I'm moving on to try and find someone I do connect with.
Hard to get yes. My first real girlfriend was the hottest girl in the school. Everyone tried to get with her and couldn't, she was saving herself for someone special. I dated her for about 5 months before we got sexual and 9 months before we had sex. I was so proud to have her as my girlfriend. Totally worth the wait.
Now playing hard to get? Fuck no. Girl who has already engaged in casual sex thinks she can say no, then she can think herself up out of my presence. Fuck that shit. I'm not jumping a flaming hoop for a slut. In fact the easier she makes it for me the better. Ie she makes guys wait 2 weeks and she jumps into bed with me the first date... well at least I don't feel like a schmuck like all those other dudes.
Some guys enjoy the game. Some don't. Most guys want to feel special for the girl and you can't feel special if everyone can have her. So i think that's where the "hard to get" idea comes from
Games are for children. It's fine to have expectations -- just be direct about them. If a woman declines an invitation and doesn't offer a time that works better for her, I'm not going to ask her again.

No in most cases people like the chase but get bored once they get them
only if there's consistency. no point in playing hard to get when a hot dude comes along and breaks all the rules of the game and every other dude is held to different rules.
Not. This is all a myth that women propagate.
No. We do not like when girls are "hard to get".
No, not me. I am not into playing games.
