Ok... so I've seen a lot of questions of why girls play hard to get. Lemme give my perspective on things... hope this helps (even though I'm not a girl, who were the ones you wanted to answer your question)...

There's a really big reason for playing hard to get, and it's definitely not just women that do it. I have my own theory, which I call the "push/pull syndrome".

Here's basically what it means. The easier someone is to get, the less attractive they are. The harder it is for someone to get, the more attractive they are.

Why? Because... everyone want's what they can't have!

A lot of women naturally play games... mind games... relationship games... same thing. They play games. I hate them, but I've also learned to play them back, only because I've dated so many "bad" women in my life. I've always dated the "hard to get" beautiful on the outside women who are bad on the inside. My reason? I have the same reasons that women are attracted to jerks. I always wanted what I perceived I couldn't have, and once I got them, I wanted to be able to be the hero and change them into better people. This of course never works, but I still tried over and over again, until I eventually learned some pretty hard lessons.

Anyway, women play hard to get so that you chase them. Some women love to be chased as much as some men love the chase as well. Women play hard to get so that it forces you to be even more attracted to them than you normally would be. They seem unattainable, and human nature drives us to WANT that. We all want what we think we can't have. The problem is, once you get it, you realize that this really isn't what you wanted! Either way, women are VERY VERY VERY good at mind games.

A lot of these bad women that I would date, I've learned from past ones how to handle them. I do not recommend dating these type of women at all, because despite how beautiful and attractive they are physically, they are really really unattractive people on the inside (in most cases). Anyway, here is basically my unconscious way of doing it... hopefully you just don't use this in the wrong way.

When a girl plays hard to get, do it back. If she pulls away from you, don't chase her. Don't follow her like a lost puppy in hopes that she will find you cute and come running to your side. That doesn't work. It makes you look weak, and it makes you vulnerable. These "bad girl" women will eat you alive. You have to pull back too. You basically have to make them think that YOU are the one that is unattainable, not them. You have to make them think that they are NOT better than you, that they are NOT on a pedestal, that they are NOT out of your league. They WANT you to think that, and they will stick their nose in the air, but you have to make sure they drop down to earth. How do you do this? Be a jerk... not in a mean spirited way, but in a way that the normal "jerk alpha male" guys do it.

What do I mean by that? It's simple. If a girl does her little nose in the air thing when you approach her, do it back. Look her up and down judgementally almost, and act like she isn't really up to your standards. Kind of... give her the cold shoulder... the way that she gave to you. For whatever reason, this attracts them. Women are insane, but they always want the guy they can't have. It doesn't matter what he looks like or who he is. They want the jerk, because they view him as unattainable.

Anyway, when she plays hard to get, play it back. If she gives you her number, don't call her. She will call you. Once she does, be friendly and nice, and act like you are interested, but don't call her the next day. Make sure she keeps contacting you, like you don't need her in your life and couldn't care less if she was or not. When she calls, act normal. Don't be cold or anything when she calls, but just don't call her. Don't give her any extra special attention that you wouldn't give to any average girl. Just be yourself and be normal about it... and overall.. just make her chase you.

That's basically the best way to handle those types of girls. You flip flop their game around on them. If they play games with you, play them 10 times harder and 10 times better. Teach them that playing games doesn't pay off.

Every girl that I dated that was a "bad girl" type, I already told them that. I told them "listen... I HATE relationship/mind games... and I HATE playing them. I ask that you just be 100% real and honest with me, and things will go great! If you DO play those games with me, I will play them back 10 times harder and better and you will regret it." At least you are honest with them at that point. They will understand, although they won't listen.

What will they do? They will try to play games. Be normal and everything up until that point. Once they do that? Do exactly what you promised. Don't call, text, or give her the time of day. Make her call and text you a bunch before you respond, and respond in short one sentence texts. Give her the cold shoulder, and she will break down and realize her mistake. Either way, she learns her lesson, and she will start becoming honest and real. Those type of girls have really hard times doing that, because they are so used to men just treating them like queens and giving them everything. Treat them like they are just normal people, that they don't deserve special attention just for being pretty, and they will respect you for it. They will start to be real and honest for the first time in their lives.

Anyway, I highly recommend you don't date any of those girls. They are emotional train wrecks, and despite your friends saying "Great catch" to you about how pretty she is, you will NOT be happy with her. She will seriously mess with your head and make life miserable, because the fact of the matter is, SHE is miserable. Women that are fake like that are NOT happy with themselves. They are insecure and emotional to the very core of their being. Some of them can be real sweethearts once you break down their "nose in the air" passade, but then they become these vulnerable little kittens that have been walked on a thousand times by other jerks in their lives.

It's really sad, but I honestly think women that do that type of stuff only do it to defend themselves. They are the types that have been in abusive after abusive relationships, because they have always dated the "alpha" male jerk types, and those types really do not care whatsoever about these women. They treat them like dirt, and they have no remorse over it. It really screws up the girl's head, and in turn, she treats all men like dirt in turn. It's a rotating door mentality, but that's why they do it. Don't date them unless you really want to live a stressful life with a girl that will probably end up cheating on you due to her insecurities and inability to feel loved.

Anyway, that's my two cents. That's how you handle women like that, but I don't recommend even trying. As we are all Christians here, I've learned a valuable lesson in my life. Do your best to date the "nice girl" christian women, even if they are very hard to find. They are the girls you want to bring home to your parents and marry. Your friends won't give compliments all the time on how "hot" she is, but you will be far happier in your relationship and in life overall. The "hotness" factor of those "out of your league" women wear off over time while dating them anyway.

Hope this helps.

That's being a little harsh on the guys. Sure, it's not easy waiting as a girl dropping hints or hoping. But, I sure wouldn't wanna be the guy approaching some girl. I think it takes guts and thus means more because he put himself out there for her.

Was it a bit harsh? Ok, my apology…hehe
The fact is, someone should step up in every relationship, and I give that to guys. I was thinking those words are to encourage guys to step up.:D
My sister and I was never brought up the way how my dad is so loose with my brother right now, even if someone will say society is different nowadays but I still have that, to behave differently with guys.

Sure thing we have different personalities, ..too shy to approach…afraid of this and that, but that doesn’t mean you’ll stick to that, just because that’s who you are. Everyone should learn to be flexible in every type of personalities. I don’t like people who will say this is me, hate it or love it, everyone should learn to adjust also to everyone. I know it’s not easy but everyone should learn to deal with it. In the end you’re the only one who gets the benefit if you’re able to express yourself, if it’s bad, take it then learn from it, am sure that will make us grow as a better person.

I take the "why date if you can't marry her" approach. I will not be unequally yoked so if I see a nice girl, I won't approach her unless I know she's a Christian.
Um what if she is an awesome christian girl and you missed out because you didnt know and wouldnt approach here.

I was brought up the same way. And, I agree that we all need to learn to adjust and will thusly benefit. I don't mean this next part towards you. I have heard many girls trash guys for not stepping up to the plate and asking out a girl. This same girl would make it well-known that only certain guys were even worth her precious time. Talk about a double standard! So, I just think we need to take it a little easy and make sure we appreciate what it takes to ask us even if we choose to say no. That was all. :D

double standards will be the ruin of us all, wont they? its ridiculous. i dont my absolute personal best to avoid double standards, because i hate them. they arent fair, and i've been at the bad end of several, even if some of them were rather petty situations. its a pitty that most senarios involving guys vs. girls are double standards. why cant things just be less complicated!?!?!

Sometimes I wonder, is Dabears a woman hiding in man’s face?:D
He is just simply a man of many words, which is very rare to guys, I wonder if he gets mad maybe he’s the one who talk and talk then the other person got asleep already. lol peace out yo! Hehe

I’ve read enough of your post about these emotional train wreck girls, enough man… it’s ok to let go! hehe

Past is past, it didn’t work out good so let it be, you still got the hang of it obviously.
You have to learn to forgive these women also. I don’t know what you mean by saying they are bad, coz I’m sure you love them, you care for them it’s just… it didn’t turn out good in the end, but am sure you have good memories also to keep with these women.

You are telling not to date these bad women like in your past, but you weren’t able to say they are bad, until it ended right? I couldn’t even picture out how bad these women are as you were saying it, I mean are they like monsters?

If I read your post, I feel you have this pain still in you because of these women.
Every relationship that don’t last has its reasons, so we just have to move on to it.
The last guy I am with, he did nothing wrong to me that’s why it’s so hard to put an end between us but I just have to, he said a lot of things to me as if I was really really bad, I accept that, I felt I deserve all those words but that was really too much and that really made me cry, but 3 months after, on my birthday, he was even the first one to greet me at exactly midnight, I told him I was thinking he was mad at me through out but he said he wasn’t, he can’t even believe that he said all those words, but he was just hurt. He’s with another girl now, and I’m wishing them all the best.

Again you have to let go all these pain in you…not all women who plays hard to get are same with whom you know…”bad”. I was laughing really hard reading that though, I was picturing you out saying all those words, and I just want to shout , hey man….relax!it’s okay to breeeeeeeaaaathe! hehe

It’s so sad to think that if ever God will give you this right girl and you still have that pain, you won’t be able to give her the special treatment just because you let your past messed that up in you!

Am sure you learn your lesson, you know what to do the next time, but you haven’t learn to forgive yet, to let go all these messed…learn to free yourself with all of these, it’s so nice to wake up every morning without all these burden in you.:)

i think girls play hard to get sometimes cause they wanna know how serious is this guy. does he REALLY like me and will pursue me? or is he just out to have some fun
I think this is going about this the wrong way. I think women should be open to what men God places in front of them. You can go on a date and still be pursued if hes done his homework. Pursuing should not be in the literal sense.
HOWEVER
I have a phrase like this, Run as hard as you can for Christ and Christ only. If you see a man keeping up with you, take note and allow him to buy you a coffee or something.
If your standards of husband qualities come straight out of the bible and not from your own selfish desires and biases then have those standards. And tell this guy what they are. If he rises to the challenge comfortably, then thats a guy you should seriously allow to keep pursuing you. If he doesnt, and disagrees with you in doctrine, faith and accountability then politely tell him your not interested anymore. Men dont like mind games, it sounds harsh I know but men would much rather prefer the quick ripped bandaid method than the "oh but that will hurt his feelings! So I'll lead him on for a bit and mess with him cos I feel sorry for him" method.

Get my drift ladies?

Any men who disagree with me, just let me know

I my self am intimidated by girls I like but not ones I am attracted to. As much as guys try to hide it girls are the only thing that truly gets us emotional! We are intimidated by the girls we like just cause we know what it is your capable of doing to us. Im just saying i can take alot of physical pain but emotional pain is a different beast! Hope that answers your question haha. Hopefully if a guy likes a girl he already has a relationship to where the girl feels comfortable approaching him some of the time making this akward leap alottt easier!

Ahhh... I'm not sure you fully understood what I meant. Perhaps it's just a cultural difference than anything else? I'll try to explain...

When I say "bad girl" I mean it as more of a stereotype for specific type of women. The same as there's the "bad boy" jerk type, there's the "bad girl" type as well. I guess it's hard to explain, but they are just girls who know they are pretty, and are very... manipulative because of it. That just attracted me for a long time I guess? It isn't a healthy attraction, but their "attitudes" always seem to have attracted me before :) I didn't say it was a good thing!

I knew they were bad before I dated them. That wasn't the issue. My problem was assuming I could change them into better people. Loving them or not had no affect on whether they were good people or not! I knew beforehand who they were.

Not all women who play hard to get are bad, but the ones that I knew were. Perhaps you just don't understand what I meant by that, which is fine, but that doesn't mean I'm wrong or still upset by it :) I think maybe you just misjudged what I said a lot. Oh well :) It's hard for me to explain the "type" of girls I mean if you don't already understand it. I think it may be more of a western culture type thing than anything. Who knows? Either way, women that play hard to get are usually doing it to be manipulative, which I don't think is a good thing. I'm not talking about women that just plainly don't like you either. I'm talking about women that you know are attracted, but they crave multiple men chasing them than just being happy with who they have. These are the type of women that cheat on all of their partners, and so I was just sort of warning a few guys to steer clear of them. Anyway, a woman that plays hard to get is just playing games, in which case I find you are almost forced into playing them as well. The only way to handle a girl that is playing games is to play them 10 times harder and teach them a lesson haha. Honesty is always the best way to go about things, but manipulative women are not even honest with themselves, let alone anyone else.

That being said, I'm not in pain by any of it! I just like to talk a lot it seems, and recount past experiences for everyone :) Don't worry so much! hehe

I agree completely with this. Men HATE mind games. Us guys are very... straightforward with things. Think of it like shopping. The majority of us HATE to shop. When we go into a store, we know what we want before we enter, and we get it and leave as soon as possible. We are straightforward like that. A lot of women like to shop around, and they are far less direct in grabbing what they want and leaving. See the point? If you don't like a guy, tell him straight out. Do not lead him on, because he won't respect or appreciate the "sugar coating" that goes along with it. If you like us, tell us straight up. It's that easy, but women sometimes forget that and shop around a bunch of guys before choosing which one they want. Men don't appreciate that. We go directly for the girl we want, and some women just don't do that.

And... Ahhhhhhhh, I feel as if I’m kinda stupid there for a sec, for not understanding you.
You do mean explaining really, huh?! :D
Ok, my bad for saying not understanding you with all these” bad women” but of course I get you.

I just don’t want to refer it as bad women since in a way they make you happy…you get me?.. but of course you can say anything if that’s what you want to call them… hehe:D

I don’t want to blame anyone or feel sorry with my choice, if it turn out bad in the end. If I decide to be with these bad boys hoping they’ll change too, and it didn’t happen, it’s fine with me… I wouldn’t regret it coz I chose that, and I wouldn’t feel bad also to these guys if they chose to stay the same…after all it’s my decision.
Coz if you will consider it, there are some whom you called bad that really changed...just didn't work in you.

Ok my bad again for letting you think that I was thinking, you mean all women are bad for playing hard to get. I honestly wasn’t thinking that way… but no further explanation from myself…hehehe

I don’t know, sometimes I hated myself for thinking all people out there are nice.
I don’t want to think anything bad on any people. I don’t want to judged them with their actions. If I see girls who are flirting with men, I try to understand why they’re doing that…maybe they are someone who had been neglected or what, as they grow, that’s why they crave for attention . I’m someone who wants to know the reasons why they’re different ,and try to understand them with their actions. If you don’t like what this person is doing, tell him…let him know it, but that doesn’t mean that person is bad, that person is just ….different?
But I’m not putting this as a burden in me, I’m someone who does my thing and let you do your thing, if you choose to do these “bad things” go on and learn your lesson.


Well....if you’re not in pain…OKAY..…hehehe.

Yes the typical blunt honesty of guys is why all my best friends in elementary, junior high and highschool were boys. I couldnt stand the way groups of girls discussed things most especially of each other. I was ostracised for being honest to the girls who were being stupid and catty so I joined the boys club instead. I missed out of the girly speeches on what girls assumed boys were like and got first hand knowledge instead and then would shake my head in confusion as to why girls made so many easy mistakes with guys, and in return I'd tell my male friends what the girls appreciated and helped them out.

Why do you think flirting is bad? Theres a BIG difference between blatantly hitting on a guy without any discretion whatsoever while making a fool of herself compared to mutual gentle flirting. If you think flirting is ungodly then read Song of Solomon, that thats what I call some flirting! lol. My fiance tells me when I flirt my eyes go huge. How am I to know when my eyes are getting big? It is very easy to flirt with modesty. Its called self control and gentleness and kindness all rolled into one. Turns the boys into putty. Well my man at least. :D

Did I say flirting is bad?:(:), ...maybe yeah, it's not good for me but not really a big thing.:)



As a girl, I just don’t like what I read about all these push/pull games in relationship.
If a girl is used in playing games in relationship, she might think she’s doing the right thing or she’s just fond of it or she wanted to manipulate things, and you (guy) know that, I wouldn’t want you to do the same, just to give this girl a lesson.
Just tell the girl straight don’t ride into her trick! In short, stop all these games in relationship right away! After all, there’s no crown waiting for those who win.
You’re just making things complicated and that may lead to another problem.
If I’m talking to people outside I might consider it if that’s how they think but for someone who’ll claim as a Christian guys, I just don’t think it’s right to hear these things from you, whether we're talking with non christian girls.
For someone who has a bigger understanding on things, you should take the responsibility to get it right.

So i was recently informed that one of the reasons that if a guy likes a girl, he wont go talk to her, or even subtly hint that he likes her, or anything of the sort, is because he is intimidated by her. i never thought abt guys being intimidated by girls.

so my question is, are guys easily intimidated by girls? and if yes, why? what makes them intimidated?
BESIDES the fact that she might be out of his league, that answer doesnt count. but what other things make a girl intimidating to a guy?

serious answers please, this is a good chance for girls to learn something abt guys, and maybe vice versa too.

I think a very confident girl can be quite intimidating for a not so confident guy. Even if he likes her he will be reluctant to approach her. She might get the impression from this that he doesnt like her or isnt interested but I think in situations like this confident girls shouldn't hesitate to ask the guy out, for a coffee or something, making the first move. He might be too chicken to initiate and a possibly awesome relationship could be missed. And a combination of beautiful AND confident well.. u could see him RUNNING the other direction lol

so my question is, are guys easily intimidated by girls? and if yes, why? what makes them intimidated?
BESIDES the fact that she might be out of his league, that answer doesnt count. but what other things make a girl intimidating to a guy?
I think it's more often the case that guys fear rejection and they are not intimidated so much as simply trepidatious, the reason why is simple, from a guys perspective girls have all the power.

We have to take the lead and so most of us develop a thick skin so that being turned down is just a thing that happens sometimes and not a debilitating rejection but it is tough to put yourself on the line ready to be shot down which is sometimes done in a fairly cruel way......because women usually wait for the guy to ask them out they often have no idea what it is like to put their heart on the line.

Other times it's to do with the fact that the guy is timid and has no sense of self-confidence or even self-worth.

So i was recently informed that one of the reasons that if a guy likes a girl, he wont go talk to her, or even subtly hint that he likes her, or anything of the sort, is because he is intimidated by her. i never thought abt guys being intimidated by girls.

so my question is, are guys easily intimidated by girls? and if yes, why? what makes them intimidated?

Mhhh well, It depends from our personality. Guys who are more shy get intimidated, guys who are very expansive will joke with her much and will always try to speak with her.

Personally I'm the middle of those two, If I like a girl I get intimidated a little but I can hide it well and I try to speak with her but never bothering her too much. Anyway you were asking what does intimidate you of a girl, well I think it all depends from the thing you like her lol.. The truth is that it should have no reasons to happen at all lol.. The other day I was having fun with my friends and someone said "how is it possible that when you talk with girls you don't like you are the most briliant man on the world and when you speak with the one you like you become an idiot?" :D
