In the long run it backfires
First of all with salaries that are lower since people are used to women simply getting mean to get attention - in the office, they kick you out for that
For some reason most humans are spectacularly blind as to how one simple trick they use in one area of their life - ruins most other areas of it.
For some, but not all.
Treat people how you wish to be treated, & remember, what goes around comes around.
Karma isn't real.
It can be. Nothing is a reason to treat someone badly.
It can get someone interested, but it won’t keep them interested
All I am gonna say is if you act mean just to get servitude, your ass would be getting the pavement and packed bags
Depends, i guess for simps who are desperately trying to prove worthiness to a girl, he will continue to try even tho she's being meanBut for guys with self respect who aren't simps, I will give up the second she isn't displaying any signs of liking me back
Lol I want a sweet girl however, I think it is good to be nice however don’t get taken for granted either.
That is completely false!
I would not date someone who would respond my love and affection with the same level of love and affection.
Be "mean"? Be mean get alone!
That won't work with me, if you tried that I will introduce you how much of an asshole I can be and you will regret ever doing it in the first place.
It seems that way for guy’s too.
I know that if I’m too nice or loving, she’ won’t want me. Sick! I know.. I’d rather it was the other way. When you find the right guy, it will be loving and no need to play games. That’s what real life is about! Love!!! Real Love..:
I get what your saying but real life isn't like that but in a PERFECT world... that's how it would work out. Love really doesn't endure anymore.
@_lost_soul_ I just told you Real Life.. I’ve been married for awhile too.. I’ve gone out wife many many women...
Don't be a doormat, don't be mean spirited. There is a middle ground.
If you're playing games, I'd eventually see it and realise you're simply not worth my time and effort.
If you are mean to a man and he sticks around he's a loser. I have my choice of girls. If ones mean i just stop talking to her. Nbd.
being a mean girl to/with me will make you be alone
If guy will have to be careful with you point will come when he will give up for sure. I have I m no sure about others
That doesn't work. I cut ties with women like that pretty much on the spot.
You try that Brooklyn bulshit on me mentally and verbally you are going to get fuked up.

This tit-for-tat attitude will be your undoing. I guarantee it.
i was married twice both women were EXTREMELY MEAN, RUDE INSULTING I treated them like a queen i don't deserve that and i refuse to be treated like that
Not for me! Bad treatment would make me head for the hills!
I do not, I walk away as soon as I see that attitude come out
It's all about control for both genders. If you are mean and controlling and that works. I very seriously doubt you have any respect for that person.
Nope. I'm a naturally nice, sweet and kind person. Being mean to someone means being someone I'm not.
