Yes I'd rather you be more forward.
Didn't I read in another post that stated that is what men do??? If they act like they don't give a sh*t then the women chase the men?? Men can play the game but women can't?? Geez...

I don't know where you're coming from, but I sure as hell don't play stupid games. I certainly do flirt, which is something I do naturally, but I do not play games with women.

I like you as either a friend or something more. It's pretty cut and dry for me.

The few women who've shown an interest in me were ones I wasn't attracted to and showed no romantic interest in, so I have to wonder if many women are just attracted by this disinterest for some reason. Some men swear by it as an actual method, but I don't pretend to understand it.

The most reasonable technique:
When a girl plays hard to get, leave her alone to play with herself.

I think you're giving us men more credit than is due. I would wager that when you play hard to get most guys figure you're not interested and move on.

A good rule of thumb when trying to figure out the reason for any statement or action by a man just filter down to the lowest common denominator. We are simple folk and generally do or say what seems like a good idea at the time without associating any deeper meaning.

Headache. I will need tons of Advil for that.

I read a post of yours, and you said you want to protect yourself and trust him before anything begins? Well, trust doesn't begin by playing around. Protecting yourself doesn't mean you treating him like a jerk either. Protecting yourself involves logic and good support from friendship.

There is a difference between keeping someone at arm's length while you learn about him, get to know him, and decide if he is a good man, and then there is playing games when you already know he is, just to put him through some paces.

The only value in the latter option is that when he leaves you, it confirms that he is smart, too.

Why do I want some endless pain in the ass, when I can go to Asianbrides dot com and get me a Wendi?

YES.

You want to know why?
Because even women who don't think they "play hard" are plenty hard enough.
