Spacerific said: I think it's genetic, as in, they do play mind games, but it's for a good reason: to test how full of shit you and I are, whether we really want what we say we want, whether we actually have the balls to go get it, to stand up to a girl, bla bla blah.
Best metaphor I've heard about this is: think of a large field with storms and wind and rain, and you have to choose which house you want to take shelter in. What do you do, don't you test the doors and windows a bit first? You inspect the house, see if it's clean, test the locks, kick the tires so to speak. The more shit stays together, the more sure you are it's a good place to stay and you chill. The more shit you see breaking apart, the more suspicious you get and you have to test, what else is wrong with the place? Will the roof fall on you while you're sleeping in it? Bad move bro.
I think you'll find most girls that you've entranced pretty well will only play a moderate amount of mind games, and it's very pleasant, it's like a dance.
Girls that you haven't entranced at all, where you were unsure of yourself, or if they are by nature more suspicious, needy or neurotic, they will have all their bitch-shields up and test you and annoy you for all you're worth. Good luck climbing that fence 
ime the games are because they've been fucked over in the past and are allowing it to stop them from having anything with anyone.

Yes. Especially the ones who think that they don't.

So is this only women who play mind games when they think they aren't or are you just saying all people are actually always playing mind games especially when they think they aren't?

Almond Flour said: But can you blame men for thinking they are being tricked or for misinterpreting the situation?
Well, 'blame' is a bit of a grave term; I can understand it. It's a bit like conspiracy theorists; they usually believe in their conspiracies out of a lack of understanding of how things really work, combined with an ingrained fear that someone or something is trying to fuck them over. Most women aren't trying to do this. Men and women alike sometimes communicate poorly; they may fail to get their point across or they may not be courageous enough to outright say what they mean. I don't call that 'playing games', as it does not involve the intent to manipulate someone. Of course, some people do intentionally manipulate others. But that's again true for men as well as women.

Isn't that a bit sexist too, only in a sort of socially acceptable way?

Yeah, I said that as well for like the past 40 relationships where things were going well. By the end of each I was saying to myself:

40! That's amazing! Well obviously you need to stabilize that stuff a bit better, or at the very least learn to bail sooner, before things turn to the Yeti level No need waiting that long if the good stuff's already out of it.

No, being sexist would be saying that women are inherently non-confrontational. The fact that our societies happen to teach women that they should not be confrontational is not sexist because it's not a commentary on traits they are born with or the inherent value, it's an observation about how society treats, models, and idealizes them.

Male or female, we are human. Some are better at communicating, some are worse. Some play mind games, some don't. This forum, being so weighted by the male ego, do you really think you're going to get much more of a response than "all women suck and are evil bitches"?
People are far more complicated and generalizing only further complicates matters.
Yeah this whole discussion is kind of a sexist crock of shit. Some people play games. Sometimes you are on the receiving end of those games. Sometimes you notice and sometimes you don't.
Women are socialized to be non-confrontational. That doesn't mean they're "playing mind games" by not being direct, it means you can't get the hint because you're dense.
My question is if they are trying to hint something to you, why would they continue to lead you on?

No.
It should be noted guys, that how you treat them affects how they treat you. Imagine that!
Usually, the guys shouting the loudest about "crazy bitches" are the craziest bitches themselves.
