I have had plenty of women tell me that nothing excites them more than a guy that ignores them during the whole dating process. You know.... a guy that doesn't return phone calls, doesn't answer calls, ditches them on dates, disappears inexplicably, you name it. So, why is this? And why is it such a successful technique?
I dont think it is. Perhaps your confusing being ignored and treated with disrespect with not wanting to be smothered. Women, the same as men, arent usually attracted to needy insecure people.

Now THAT is a different story dear. Not at all what you stated in your original post. It sounds like perhaps these women have been pursued by someone that was overzealous, clingy, and pushy, and quite frankly, that CAN be a turnoff. I expect you know that, and are making mountains out of molehills.

I agree. I can't imagine a man or a woman wanting that kind of treatment.

it works in person too. hot girls are used to all kinds of men drooling over them and breaking their necks checking out that azz that when a Man does NOT do that to them it is different and it makes them wonder why...plus, she'll later appreciate that man's attention, more so, when she gets it in the future.

This is a tactic for dating insecure young women. Basically, mildly abuse them mentally so they feel like crap and that by having your attention they are happy.

No woman I would WANT to date would respond favorably to these tactics.

there are entire books written about ignoring or "negging" women to get them interested in you....sad but true.

When I was in that scene, I would do the ignoring.

He's right. I mean, to an extent.

I was with some friends one time on the road in my cool car and we got up next to a car load of hot gals. I played the rev up the engine and I took off as they looked at us.
My friend started yelling at me, "Wait up for them!!"

I said, "Watch."

Within a matter of minutes she was right there by us. She sped up to catch us. I laughed. I bet the gals were saying, "Catch up to them...go go go!!"

It's all a cat and mouse game.

I'm sure alot of good looking gals are hit on all the time and when she meets the one man that is looking right through her or acts as if he doesn't see her...well, that is intriguing.

Ha-ha, then I'm guessing these tactics are being played on YOU! The game is one and the same, but the genders of the players do change.

My wife of ten years told me:

"If you would have came on strong and hit on me and stuff I would have never given you the time or the day. I just don't like guys who are really forward."

I played it cool and let her come to me.

Kept my mouth shut most of the time. If I would have opened it I may not have had a chance.
