Playing Games

lifeiscash · 06-02-2005, 04:02 PM

To all the women out there I would like to know what are some of the games that you play to get the guy/and keep the guy interested. I know several but I would like to expand my knowledge of "game playing" when it comes to the dating world. This way I'll be able to recognize it when they are doing it.

Welcome to the world, lifeiscash. People play "games" all their lives. We learn to manipulate people to get what we want from them from a very early age. A child cries because they want something until they get it. This is where it begins - at a very early age. Children learn fast, and they often carry on their "manipulation tactics" onto adulthood. Sometimes, we unknowningly play games or manipulate others unintentionally. Learning about human behavior and human nature and the psychology of it all will give you a lot of insight. Studying it can drive you insane, because you then analyze so much information or data simultaneously, but it all pays off because you learn why people do the things they do. Good luck.

Instead of asking specifically I say that you study the subject if you are that interested. If you already have knowledge of the games that people play then you are on your way. The best way to learn is to know what method best works for you. Some people like to observe while others like to read. I would say that both are truely necessary to understand and come to concrete conclusions. Learning about human behavior does not stop once you go down that path its hard to turn off. Start off with what you know and draw conclusions about those games first them move on to the next ones. If you want to look for specific texts then you want to examine human behavior/ psychology of human behavior at your local bookstore. Observation is the cheaper method but the books will give you a more concrete foundation to build on.

I don't think I ever had to do much to keep the guys interested. I've heard other girls say though that they will purposely not answer the guy's calls right away, so that he thinks she is busy and not waiting by the phone for his call. That's one!

Anything taken to the extreme or out of context could be taken as a game. You could assume that what someone does is a game and yet they have a perfectly valid explanation that isn't a game, such as not being able to return a call. Hence the reason that games are stupid and a waste of time. Don't play them, don't acknowledge them. Just be honest, its the best policy after all.
