Why do some people play games?

Post Reply New Topic

I wish every person was this way, Bumble.

There is no game being played here. She's just not interested in you.

i''m too soft-hearted for my own good.

Some men play games also.
I was never good at games.
And I'm too tired to play games,I think younger people are more into them.
It $ucks being played.

people suck.

After a trip to a Wal-Mart in the poorer end of town, I'd have to concur. Heartily.

I need my moon base and nuke launcher - and I need it NOW!

i live in the poorer part of town and i have only walmart to shop at. i am a bottom feeder. i guess i suck also.

auntblabby, you most definitely do not suck.

Hey, now! Obviously *I* was there, too!

Not everyone was a lost cause... but a lot were. One meth-head stood in line with me picking a few new scabs on her barely concealed bosom (no - it's not as pleasant as a guy might hope for.)

I know at least one woman who has explicitly said she enjoys playing games, that they kept things interesting and fun. Can't generalize from there though

Some women like to play games because it helps them feel validated and desirable if a guy plays along well enough... provided you are willing to be a fallback guy. However, a 42 year old women with 2 teenage children is unlikely to play games since she has two children to help raise and guide trough life. If she was interested in playing games, the kids both would obviously be off at college or the father has full custody. My over analzying for the night.

As for me, I love playing games with my girls to. I like to get my girls to play Uno, Scrabble, Battleship, Monopoly, etc.

^^^ I knew a woman my age who was a complete sociopath - and happily teaching her young daughter how to manipulate others just like mommy.

Theres this "guru" with a theory that males are afraid to be honest when they are not into women.

Im going to go a step further and say that females are too.

What does this mean?

It means that they will tell you just about anything(I need to get my life together, Im just not ready for dating, its not you its me, my kids/job take up most of my time right now...) but that they are not into you.


Its quite a generalization but it helps to keep it in mind sometimes

So she wants to chat with you but doesn't want to date you? Sounds like your her shoulder to cry on or the transitional guy she's using to test the dating waters. I have a 16 yr old, work and take classes and I have been seeing someone almost a year. People make time to see each other even those with crazy schedules find time to even cheat. Too bad she couldn't be honest with you. Don't feel too bad, my son was pretty frustrated chatting with someone online and meeting up only to be rejected. This happened at least three times. Then he met a friend of a friend and now is very happy.

I'm getting all kinds of advice here; I don't know whose to take.

She's not interested.
If someone is interested, they make the effort to spend time with you. PERIOD.
If she's like, the CEO of an international company, and her parents are dying in the hospital, and her kids are constantly getting arrested.. maybe then she'd literally have "no time" for you.
She is prioritizing her time, and you have not met those priorities. Move on.
