Men Like Women Who are a Challenge - Being a challenge doesn't mean not returning his phone calls or playing a game by turning down a date if he calls after Tuesday night ("The Rules" women really have a lot to answer for). What being a challenge means is not pursuing him but just getting on with your life and letting him do the work. Remember, in a relationship with any man, the less work you do, the more he will do. Every single man I've ever asked has agreed with this, even if they hate to admit it.

I spit Coke all over my keyboard when I read that whopper. To a point, yeah. Ad infinitum? Get outta my face. Eventually, you reach a point where I think most sane men would just give up and move on to a more approachable woman.

I agree that guys find it pretty annoying when chicks purposely don't return calls or texts simply to be tools, but damn that article was boring.

I never had a woman cancel a date on me. And if she did, she probably had good reason (or not. dunno.. never happened...so working from a blank here.. If I was in the dating pool vs. being "with her and only her" ..... well...... that means I got a free night to find someone who might be more available.

You want someone... go for it... you don't? .... make excuses and do your thing. I'll be doing mine, too. I like being dedicated. What I don't like is being strung along. That quote above smacks greatly of stringing someone along.
And, you marry the people you date. What a great way to start out.... being unavailable.

I find it funny that an article can get you worked up like this.

I guess I've met too many crazy people in my life.

Some were women and some were dudes. HA!

Or you have been on CD for too long. Happens to me a lot. Sometimes I'm thankful to get temporary bans.

I think the list was right on, and a lot of women would do better if they listened to it. Note it does NOT say play games or not return calls on purpose. But if you're canceling plans with your gf's or not making plans until you know if the guy will ask you out, if you're taking your phone into the bathroom with you so you can leap on it the second he calls, if you're calling him before he calls you, then yes, you're being too easy to get. All it's really saying is have a life that you don't give up the second you have a man on the line.

Ironically, you could interchange "men" and "women" and have a pretty good list for how men can be more attractive to women.

Exactly! A lot of women think being a challenge means being high maintenance, being snotty and not returning texts and phone calls.
