Yeah, sorry, I have to call any woman under the age of 50 on this one, this one is like some guy saying he's got a 10+inch pecker, a bunch I'm sure have convinced themselves in their own mind that they do, I think most would demand proof and sure as heck not believe it until then.

I'm sure a few women that don't play [games] exist, but people play games the majority of the time, that's how you gain initial interest, eye-contact here, engaging 'exciting' conversation there, seeming interested but not that interested...

Some of it is extremely superficial and lame, but a good deal of the time a necessity.

Again, BS. I suspect that it's the type of women you are interested in. I have ditched guys several times for this stupid nonsense that you think everyone plays. And most of my female friends have done the same. If you have a life, and are reasonably intelligent, you aren't going to waste it on people like this.

Don't listen to them, dude! If they want to call psychology a "game," so be it. And no, it's not age-specific. The approaches, topics, and vocabulary may be different, but the basics are the same. As far as my buddy Chow, with all due respect, if he were to become single, he'd be single for a looong, long, time. And not because he's not a quality guy! Yes, there has to be some intrigue and unpredictability. In fact, it has to continue a bit even in established relationships, but it doesn't. That's why so many fall apart - they become too boring. The excitement is gone.

There are deep and elaborate explanations of the issue, but I'd rather give you something simple and practical. Read up this site. It's enough. No need to buy the book.

You're a Goddess of pop psychology, Sierra!

I read it and it didn't say anything about guys not calling women and feigning disinterest, like some of these forum morons are talking about. What woman in her right mind is gonna fawn over a guy who treats her like a piece of crap?

Well, totally disappearing from the scene is one thing; calling 5 minutes later - another. Just be honest, are YOU attracted to some puppy drooling consistently all over you?! NO!

Only if that puppy comes bearing gifts of diamonds, cash and cars!

re: the OP, it probably depends on your age and on what sort of woman you're trying to attract.
While a teenage girl or one in her early 20s, valuing her own freedom, might be attracted to such "unpredictability" as you describe, a divorced mom in her 30s or 40s will probably be utterly repelled by it.
Mature women generally come to value trustworthiness in men.

Did I mention extremes? Games are played. I'm not saying absolute rules, or specific times, but they ARE played as other subsequent postings have illustrated. And I don't think EVERYONE plays them, or some imaginary exacting set of rules for them, thank you very much.

That's an urban legend, fit under the "BS" section. It maybe true with some needy girl you would not want anyway for anything, but a lady you would want for anything will cost you: time, energy and sacrifice. No way around it. If you are too lazy to work for something you won't get it.
