Question - (14 March 2011) 3 Answers - (Newest, 15 March 2011)
A female Canada age 51-59, anonymous writes:

Why do some men (single or married) play mind/head games with the women they are attracted to but not in a relationship with? What's their deal? And why all the game playing??? Why do they pay attention to a woman and then ignore her and go back and forth? Are they trying to get a reaction? Is it the chase? Do they really like her? What's going on???

A male reader, Illithid United States +, writes (15 March 2011):

Illithid agony auntBecause any man that chases a woman, earnestly, and lets her know how he feels and that he wants her WITHOUT making her fight for him instantly turns into a doormat, or a wimp, or just uninteresting and women walk away. The only way to get a woman is to make it look like SHE is catching HIM, like GeeGee255 said. If he's too available, she won't want him. (Just look at how many devoted men get cheated on by women that don't care anymore vs. how many women are obsessed with winning back douchebags that treat them like dirt.)

Because they are emotionally unavailable, in a relationship, or not that interested. A man will chase YOU and be consistent about it if he wants you.

GeeGee255 agony auntOf course it's the chase. Didn't you ever hear the old saying, that a man chases a woman until SHE catches him?
