I'm curious, what are these "games" you speak of? What games do women play and how do they play hard to get? Can you give me some examples?
I've found that many guys can't give examples of playing games. But it usually means the man is not getting what he wants. Which doesn't mean the woman is playing games with him. She's just telling him "no".

I'll give it a try:
Saying "yes we can go out" but then always being busy, making just enough time for the guy to keep him from moving on.
Expressing interest, but keeping a distance, never allowing anything to develop, usually by using the tired "Let's take it slow" but going at a pace that would make a glacier seem fast
Acting very interested, but then lukewarm and extremely non-committal when he asks about dating-
Seems happy to want to spend time with him, but sets strict "rules" about when he can call, or see her.
Mixed signals (hot, cold, lukewarm, cold again)
Making the man "chase" her by showing interest, then not showing any, then back again
I agree its on the guy if he allows himself to be treated this way, but still.

Good examples. Basically took the words right out of my mouth, lol.
That's pretty much been a lot of my story when it comes to dating. For example, just recently, a girl I met online was seemingly into me (calling me hot AF, attractive, sweetheart, etc.), but would always be very hot and cold. She ended up ghosting me.

Lol, exactly. Basically just makes guys look like giant babies. Like, he doesn't want to make plans, but expects you to be around whenever it's convenient for him. It's funny how guys will seemingly do anything in the beginning; wait around for an hour, or drive a long ways just to see you...then, after a few weeks, even driving across town or waiting 15 min. is too much. lol

yep.
If a guy is not getting results proportionate with the effort he is putting in, of course he is going to be inclined to do less for a woman because she is giving the impression of not being receptive to him.

what constitutes 'results'?
and, I don't know how someone could not be 'receptive' if two people are clearly dating (or, whatever...), spending a lot of time texting, and seeing each other regularly.
Many women like to play hard-to-get. I just wonder whether this is a direct reason that many guys dump a woman after getting whatever they want from her, or just getting bored of her.
Or maybe they didn't like what they got after they got it.

That's not playing hard to get, those are headgames. Playing hard to get involves flirtation and a build-up to being "gotten". What you describe above is not someone wanting to be "gotten" by you.
