Why do we play mind games with the opposite sex?

Perhaps because there is a fear of rejection maybe? I don’t know, I don’t usually like to be that honest because I’m afraid to be thought of as easy. Guys can get away with it more then girls can. At least that’s what it seems like to me.

i agree!!! but they would find out that ur not easy when they try to hook up with u which we know they will…. i honestly think that not being that honest hurts us more then being honest and being rejected, we get our hopes up and then their dashed when were lead to think one thing then getting another ya know

Probably because women are evil and men are assholes….

Well, I don’t think it’s accurate to say no one is honest. Maturity helps. Also, having good self esteem helps.

Finally, men and women really do think differently. Sometimes people may not be intentionally dishonest, but just miscommunicating.

A couple of recent experiences has let me to the conclusion that the human race basically sucks. Or maybe it just doesn’t pay for a man to be nice to a woman; it must be seen as a sign of weakness…or something…I don’t know anymore.

@mikem42 Lol! You’re right, the human race does suck!

WE do not play mind games with members of the opposite sex. Perhaps YOU do.

If you play mind games, you get mind games in return. If you refuse to play mind games, and refuse to put up with those that do, very quickly you find out that there are decent people out there who don’t play mind games.

@mikem42 Yup, I learned that the hard way.

CWILBUR: (sorry not sure how to do the lil ”@ cwilbur” thing at the begining of a msg)For one I DO NOT play mind games! I am one of the few women that are blunt and tell the harsh truth weather they want to hear it or not. I will admit sometimes it does scare the male sex away and maybe that’s the reason ppl can’t be burtally honest, cus were not use to that, and don’t know how to react when approched with it so we avoid it like a confrentation. but even with the few ppl I’ve met and was just as blunt and honest with that stuck around in the end I eneded up getting the “mind game” b s from them…

@ before their name without spaces….usually works but not today I guess.
