Okay ladies, here's your chance. I've read some many posts about the head games men play. What are these games? Please, give some examples.

Ten hours and no one has been able to come up with a single head game men have used on you? Wow, we men must be pretty cool, because I can think up several head games women have used on me.

There's only one game men play. "Oh honey I love you so much" until you go to bed with him--then "you're so clingy."

Grrr.

I like poker myself but dab a bit in chess and the like.

Tex, look-out! I think you are treading on that line that will ALWAYS seperate men & women. No one will truly talk about it, but it does exist. I didn't create it, don;t really like it, but I acknowledge it's there. There are "games" coming from both sides, we have all seen most of them, or at least heard about them; case & point: We are supposed to just know what a woman is thinking, and when we don't, we are the bad guy. Women already know what we're primarily about... Full stomach/Empty sack!?

I prefer tennis, that way you know if the ball is in your court

I was reading in hope that i'd learn something,there's one from ms.bravalady,.thank you...i'd go back to this later...

My X-husband was a master game player. I know all the crappy head games they play.

Not only that, I have a whole set of books written by well known Pick up artists for poor saps who don't know how to get laid.

It comes with advice to "show a lot of confidence" (even if you don't have any.) ---> therefore most of it is fake confidence of a pretender.

There are fakers and there are the real alpha males and sometimes it is hard to tell the difference at first glance but pay attention and the fakers will slip up eventually.

There are signs.

Women have been playing the game for a century longer than men have. Most men still don't have clue one on how to get (and keep) a woman.

... or what to do with her once he has snagged her.

Well, if we're playing the court angle we could use basketball...Preference I suppose, but I don't really like tennis.

Basketball! but then you have to dribble

I read one of those books. The Game (penetrating the secret society of pick up artists) by Neil Strous. I see like most women you didn't understand it. It's not about head games and lies. It's about building confidence and self esteem. It's about sending the right singles and making a good first impression. It's about learning the social skills needed to attract a sexual partner and START a relationship.

Yes, Mystery does advise men to fake confidence until they actually have it. But, it takes success to build confidence. The only thing I found in it that could be called a head game is what they call the "neg." Which is nothing more than a back handed complement. It's a trick women have used for years. The main one from the book is "Nice nails! Are they real? No? Well... they still look nice." This is like a woman saying "Hey, you're pretty smart... For a guy." It's all part of the push and pull that is the essence of flirting. Another example is "Wow, you are very attractive. Go stand over there before I do something I might regret." I got that one from Cybill Shepard's autobiography.

If anything it's about ending the games most men try to play like trying to buy a woman's affections with gifts and such. Guys think "I like her. Maybe if I do something nice for her she'll like me back." But, it only makes women feel like he's trying to buy her. Which of course, he is. Women do like gifts, but not bribes.

Why do MEN have " looking for a relationship" on their profiles but then in person its more about the color of your panties??

WHY do MEN say" There is nothing wrong with having sex on the first date" then in the very same breath " I would never be "serious" with a girl who gives it up on the first date"

GAMES! Tricks are for kids guys!

I was at work! I'm here now...

And another thing....
I get the sex thing, men love it... want to have all of the time.. yeah, yeah yeah ( I get it) Why not be upfront with this girl who is really looking for a relationship!

Why waste her time " or play these games" it gets tiresome and makes me want to kick a guy in the nuts!

Right, you decided to buy a lot of books written for losers and that's how you learned about men and what makes them tick?

If I ask women on here for advice (not that I ever do but they seem to want to give me it anyway) they tell me to act confident and not be negative and that's okay but if a man puts it in a book it's suddenly a cynical underhanded ploy and part of a head game?

Also, "Darling, I love you" until you get them in the sack and then they are too clingy? Never done that and don't go about telling women that I haven't even been intimate with that I love them but if you mean some men start taking you for granted or think that once they have a girlfriend they need to think about what they really want from the relationship, yeah some of us do that. I've had a girlfriend that was obsessively clingy and demanding and don't want to go through that again thanks.

You rock. I love how you tell it like it is.

Confidence is a turn on for women, but you have to have something to back it up.
Those women should have told you that! be confident but have a great personality too!
Confidence attracts us... but Personality makes us sit down and stay awhile!
