Why do guys play games with pretty girls?

[Anonymous]

And what should a girl do in that situation?

[BigWhiteWolf87]

Here's reality for you. Children (men & women) trapped in adult bodies play games. Physically they may be in 20s or 30s but on a maturity level they're still 8 years old.

Do yourself a favour and instead of going along with such conduct, block them.

Such men are typically playing the field, etc. and typically do NOT have much value for respectable / decent women who isn't interested in cheap relationships & causal sex.

So, when you said you're waiting, etc., elsewhere they're a waste of your time.

Unfortunately such children - immature, irresponsible, looking for cheap sex and causal relationships, etc. - are predominant in today's western society so that means you'll encounter them far more than you will encounter a decent guy who'll ultimately contribute to your life instead of contributing little to nothing to your life.

Whatever you do, don't ever change your standards or mentality on sex & relations for one of these sorts of guys. As said, they'll almost never contribute anything to your life.

Because psychologically, we tend to think that attractive men or women are harder to keep in a relationship or hold their interest because of their options. We think they can easily stray. So to keep their interest, we play all sorts of games or try all sorts of techniques on them. We don't think they would stay interested in us otherwise. We put them on a pedestal.

I think there was even study done on this, where they came to the conclusion that people tend to play games with attractive partners or potential partners for this reason.

[Haaa135]

That's why many women play hard to get with attractive men as well.

It’s actually SO UNFAIR. I can’t control how I look first of all, there’s so much more to me as a person, and I’m genuinely a kind hearted person looking to be faithful in one relationship and that’s all. I get that life is tough for everyone and this is a silly thing to complain about, but when you’re somewhat subjectively attractive you get treated differently by a lot of people - whether it’s a work setting, friendship setting. It’s not genuine and it’s isolating

[Asker]

Objectively ^

What kind of games? Like leading you on? If you’re not into that than move on. The reason why these idiots play these games is cause a lot of you women let us. So I know that even though I want to smash Jessica, I also want to smash Tiffany. So I can put Jessica on the back burner cause i know if I call up Jessica asking her to meet me she’d jump just like that. Kick the fool to the curb.

I don’t do sex until marriage and I’ve put that out there. I’m a virgin.

Play games as in take time to respond to text messages/not call when they say they would/ignore texts even though you’re dating or they say they specifically like yiu

[OfMiceandMen]

Not sure why some guys think its fun to play games with girl's hearts, and I am really unsure as to why some women put up with it.

Wouldn't she be better off alone, happier? Or at least till she found someone that doesn't want a rollercoaster relationship.

[Asker]

For me I thought it was the norm. Every guy does it so I thought I just had to go along with it and do it back until they step. Funny thing is they don’t stop and it gets worse over time and I end up very upset

[Asker]

Stop*

[OfMiceandMen]

Not all guys want the added drama associated with playing games. There's already so much drama in our lives with careers, finances, etc. why introduce more drama to the relationship. I prefer to come home, get some quality time in, and wind-down with the person I am with. I am sure there are lots of guys out there who prefer to avoid games, just the same.

[Asker]

That sounds perfect :(

[FilmGuy93]

Just don't play along. You don't want to date a gameplayer anyhow. Think of that as weeding bad options out.

[ohsheeT]

Don't look at it as a game look at it as they're trying to tell you who they are and then you have that choice to say I don't want this in my life I don't need this in my life and just walk away or have you been to their eyes and say dude what's wrong with you grow the fuck up I don't have time for this and then maybe the next time he approaches you he'll do it a little bit more wiser

[Guy13]

Some guys do that because they believe she will leave them anyway. She’s going to break his heart anyway. I’m not getting too close mentality.

Because he’s a little boy in a man’s body.

[Asker]

Are you saying a real man won’t play games even if he’s intimidated by the woman?

[Guy13]

Exactly. He respects her and spoils her when able. He leads and does not get led while serving simultaneously. This is what a serious man, with a vision of her in his future, does. Sounds like you are in Boyland.

[Asker]

Wow. I am in boyland!!!

[Guy13]

You can always come visit Man-Up land across The Pond... We'll teach you how to speak rightly while treating you righteously...

[Asker]

I hope so

[TallAnon]

Depends, do you like being played with?

It's because they think they can get you that way, people are simple.

[Asker]

I definitely don’t

[TallAnon]

Then cut him off.

[Luckycharms12]

If he didn't you wouldn't be interested he be like everyone else

[Asker]

See there’s the honesty.

[DevikaButts95]

Don't get jealous of someone who isn't even real? Lmao.

[DevikaButts95]

Oh this might not be about video games. Lmao.

[DevikaButts95]

Nvm if a guy is playing games, just ditch him.

[HighValue]

I'd play games with a pretty girl. Catan, Stratego, Battleship, Call of Duty zombies. :p

[Bklynbadboy12]

But we don't pretty girls are the one that play games

[Asker]

Not always

[Bklynbadboy12]

True I agree not alway cause your a major cutie and you don't play games

[Asker]

Lol thanks

[Bklynbadboy12]

Your welcome

[exitseven]

They are only interested in sex and not in a relationship

[Still-alive]

don't put up with it of course. tell them its over.

make sure they are actually playing games though and not just... shy or something.

[TheFlak38]

Ask women. They are the masters of playing games.

[LiamJHayden]

Probably figure that they can't keep her happy long term.

[Passing_by]

For ego boost, attention, sex and/or money. Simple move for the girl is to cut him off.

[Gummy_Cluster]

Why did you say "guys?"

[Asker]

What do you want me to say?

[Gummy_Cluster]

I just don't like when an entire gender is vilified for the actions of a few. That's what I meant.

Maybe next time say: "Why do SOME guys..."

[Asker]

I only date guys I don’t date women and this has been my experience with every guy I’ve met

[Gummy_Cluster]

Cool beans.

[boggboss]

If she sees he is playing games move on simple

[boggboss]

As to why welcome to dating of current times both genders do it yes its annoying

[Asker]

Literally EVERY guy does this

[boggboss]

No they literally don't

[Asker]

I’ve had a shitty experience

[boggboss]

And I'm sorry u have but that dont mean guys should be brandished as shitty cos u dated shitty people

[boggboss]

What I mean to say is yes dating is hard and many people play games but u simply have to find someone that dont

[Asker]

Ok thank you! So I won’t go along with any guy playing games from now. I actually thought it was the norm because it happens to me EVERY TIME. And it also never works out lol

[boggboss]

All people to some degree play games when dating because people are scared to communicate what they want or need or how they are feeling

[motownplayer2000]

Same way all girls play games with guys…

[Asker]

I’ve only done it in the past out of insecurity

[motownplayer2000]

You still did it. And most women still do it. Some knowingly others it’s so ingrained in the nature that all they can do.

[Anonymous]

But are you pretty?

[Asker]

Apparently so

[Anonymous]

Nah, they play games with gullible girls.

[Asker]

This is my experience. When you’re pretty they go into playing mode

[Opinion Owner]

No. When they don't care about you they use you. If they truly loved you and the were a good person they wouldn't do that.

[20yearsolder]

Don't participate in the games find another guy

[Iron_Man]

I never do that

[Hallix26]

Wrong kind of guys to go for in essence.

[Blackcupcake]

not play games

[Jamie05rhs]

Next him.

[NathanDavis]

never did

[Alex8736]

walk away
