Can't stand women that play games

I agree, and there are a few on here, of both sexes.
It seems to me that some peoples goals are to get you to open up your heart and once you do they feel they have won. Then it ends, just like that.

Blondey, thank you Wish it would happen.
And yes, you named it, everything as it is. You�re right.

Thank you for all your answers. I hate games, just want the best for everybody. Hate to see people hurted and feel so helpless when I can do nothing about it.

Sorry about your experience.
Who's been playing games with you?

don't hate the player,hate the refs

Oh noone here on mingle2 but my ex. Some people teach us what we should never do to others. That�s why I�m quite straight and refuse to be manipulative even if it might be better for me in some cases.

My experience is that it comes from insecurities, foolishness and egotism. It is rarely about the person it is directed at but rather who it is coming from so why take it personally. Difficult to remember in the moment but sometimes possible when reflecting on the past, I know. While pain and difficult times are not optimal without them we would not appreciate the wonderful moments we are blessed with. As with all things, with time this too shall pass. On a happier note I personally prefer Cribbage!

Hmm, could be a psychological reason behind it. Or they suck balls.

FFranky....I think you got that on the spot. Being thru' that.... they are worse than the scammers!
Now, I have to learn how to spot both these categories as they are all over the place.

None of those are acceptable when communicating with someone of interest. We are required to be understanding of those behavious, based upon the complaints about online dating and the real problems both men and women face.

Personally if we did not have: scammers, fake profiles, only searching for sex, ten profiles of the same person, the number of men to women in online dating, etc. it probably would be easier to find someone.

I don't recall ever seeing a profile of someone seeking a girl that plays games,,lol

I believe people put on their best self in the beginning, they don't show the teeth until later in , after bonds start to form

and when people are together they affect each other so that they change into something else that neither is as familiar or comfortable with

people change, some people inspire their partners change for the better, some can manage to bring out the worst in the other,,,,,,its always going to be a gamble,,,, with no guarantees

This exists outside the net too. It's just easier to be fake online then IRL because you can't hear or see them.

I think to some men its a competition to see if they can win them over.To be persistent and to have them finally give in to their charms. Myself, If someone is not interested I am outta there.

An example.....a man begins to talk to a woman and eventually has a first date. After that date he doesn't "feel it" for her and he tells her straight up that he doesn't want a relationship. He may even suggest an FWB with her but nothing else. He's honest and tells her how he feels and they go their separate ways. Backlash begins when she jumps all over Twitter or Facebook about how all men want is sex. Guy was friggin honest and yet the penance is that he is a player. Now....let's take another view. Guy goes on date with same girl and he knows he isn't intersted in her but for just sex. He doesn't say anything but continues to talk to her and goes out on a couple more dates. They do the deed and then the next day he tells her that "hey. Last night was fun and all but I don't want anything long term with you". She gets mad, he leaves.....and she hits Twitter and Facebook and calls all men whores.

Now........I'll agree that the honest approach is the right way to go even if you are called everything but a holy person. But the fact is people lack the guts to do things that way and instead they go the game route. As KC put it this route isn't gender specific. It goes both ways. However.....given the examples I put in this post one can make an argument for playing the game. I'm not saying nor supporting this to be the option. I've been guilty of doing this (long ago) simply because I didn't want to be the bad guy. But as I aged I just learned to not give a crap and just simply say how I feel. I don't feel it for ya then I'll tell ya. Alas many people younger and older than me won't do it. In the end who really knows why it happens. But it is s part of life.

What about games on mingle?

Someone once told me, "Just remember to have some reserve and things will work out."
Seems like sound advice from a 30+ year old male...

All of the above...thanks for saving me the job of typing so much Blondey !
I have male and female friends who are attracted to these bad girl/boys,they just can't keep away from the excitement and hope that they might be the one to change them.Unfortunately it has always ended in tears for those particular people.I'm just glad that i'm not one of those and can walk away from those kind of people.
Hang in there theseacoast,your ship will come in to dock before you know it...happy new year

I'd prefer to not be involved with women like that, but they seem to be the only ones I can find unfortunately.

........Maybe that's why I've been single so long... Too many game players; I can't find an honest woman.
