Here's a fundamental question which Ive been unable to answer myself or get an answer: WHY, yes Why do women play all these social/emotional/mind games? Especially the young ones :x Is it because they havent figured out what they want? Is it cuz they often have conflicting impulses and feelings and they're trying not to be too blunt with people? Perhaps a better question is why are women so incredibly dishonest and disingenuous when it comes to relationships.............. :?


it almost begs the question, if not all women do this, why are men attracted to women who do this?

I mean, aren't the men somewhat responsible for whom they chose to have play with their heads?

in the last 30 years women have been taught to be selective of what men they chose, how to spot the bullies, the beaters, the emotional vampires. Why aren't men more aware of whom they are choosing as potential partners?

It just seems to make sense that men are just as responsible for whom they associate with as women. Or am I way out of line, here?

Not at all. Bear in mind that there is Always going to be an exception to every rule you make about human behaviour; but if More than half of one sex behaves a certain way-ESPECIALLY within a certain age range-it really begs the question in my mind as to what their motives are for doing what they do.I certainly would NEVER associate with a woman who I KNEW was manipulative and dishonest! But you see, the very nature of dishonest people is that they are very good at fooling those they meet for the first time about their true nature. There certainly ARE man who are good at decieving women, but even if I had those intentions I personaly Wouldnt get very far with it cuz I am a VERY bad liar(or so Im told). Lying is very much a social skill, to be good at it you have to *read* people in order to determine what they're likely to believe and not to believe.You see-one of the most OBVIOUS behavioral differences between the sexs that Ive noticed first hand is that MOST women are FAR less direct than men; and that certainly DOES include women with aggressive impulses.Aggression in women is VERY REAL but its rarely direct and seldom physical(towards men), so it often goes undetected. Am I making any sense Merle?


What I get out of what you are saying is you don't know you are being manipulated until after you've put your foot in it. Is that right?
and somehow you feel that it is wrong for someone to take advantage of your propensity to be manipulated, or. . . having allowed your self to be manipulated, somehow you don't feel you got what you ah. . .(for lack of better way to put it) paid for

is that it? Or did I miss it entirely?

Merle: yes, that is correct.

EvilKimEvil: I acknowledge that there are many different kinds of women with different personality types....But what frustrates me is that you folks dont seem to get the point Im trying to make so I'll spell it out for you:
Dishonesty is NOT a personality trait! It is a LEARNED BEHAVIOUR!! I do realize there are some people who are compulsively dishonest but these people are by NO means the majority. People are dishonest because it WORKS! Dishonesty is am amazingly effective way to get what you want from people; especially since we live in a sociey where people arent allowed to take what they want from others by force(with some rare exceptions). I believe that men and women want the same things, but from what I see and hear they go about getting those things in different ways. Part of this is because society has a double standard when it comes to the sexes; in fact pretty much ALL cultures treat men and women differently and Ive yet to be convinced that its even possible to convince to get people to treat men and women exactly the same way.

I was OK with that. What I was upset about was later on, after she told me about the other guys she was interested in. Then she tells me that she made up her mind about us staying friends before we even met me. She just told me the other things just to make me feel better. I've read posts here say that she may have mis understood what I meant when I told her that I had AS and I need her to be totally honest with me. I'd be alot more upset if she was not honest with me.

How the heck can a statement like that be misunderstood? Pretty diect, IMO.

Well, to be fair, she only 'led you on' for one date, but yeah, I do see why you're annoyed.

What were her reasons for going on that date in the first place, mind me asking? I'm sure it wasn't just to wind you up- she doesn't sound like the type if she was honest enough to tell you straight afterwards that it wasn't going to work. You've been friends for 6 months- I know you're pissed off at the moment, but is it really that bad that you wish she'd end up in Hell?

(edit): for a lot of NTs, 'being totally honest' is kind of the same as 'being rude'- I think she was probably as honest as she felt she could be without hurting you too much.

you know, for years and years I was on the old Yahoo. I was damned straight to hell for answering back some HNG's first IM with a polite 'no, thank you. Somehow they didn't realize that a DATE meant you were evaluating the potential of the other person to fit into your life. People seem to disregard that it takes a man about 30 seconds to determine if they are interested in a woman and a woman about 30 minutes.

so being damned (straight or not) to hell for being involved in someone's ELSE's ego play is always problematic.

The date was her companies holiday party and she wanted me to go with her. What I'm really upset about was I feel she gave me the impression that she was open to having a deeper relationship with me after worked on her issues. She also made it seem like she came into the date with an open mind, and she told me she would see how she felt after the first date. Then she tells me she made up her mind even before we met for the first time, we would stay friends and thats it, no matter what. This is after we went out a few more times. I'm upset that she did not tell me that from the start, even though I told her I like people to be totally straght with me. I feel lied to and betrayed. I also told her about my last girl and the many mixed signals she sent me. She thought that was wrong.

so you think that kicking at the dirt and fretting is going to charm her into wanting to rethink her opinion of you? Did you ever tell her 'what ever you decide to do is all right with me?' Did you lead her to believe that 'you could be friends even if there was no romance between you?"
Did you ever say or lead her to think that you had an open mind about the relationship and was just getting to know her to find out if you two were compatible?

Or did you tell her from the beginning you were committed to making it work, that you would be devastated if it didn't work out and you would want her damned to hell if it didn't go your way?

just curious,

Merle

I don't want her back, even as a friend. I could care less of what she thinks of me. I came into the date with an open mind and when the date ended I thought that there may be something more there. I was a little hurt she just wanted to stay friends for now, but I accepted thats what she wanted at the time. At least thats what she made me think. What I did not know at the time was she had already made up her mind about me before we met.

No, women generally like masculine guys and it just happen that most bad guys have masculine traits and most nice guys usually lack many masculine traits.

so you did not do anything at all to provoke her at the end of the relationship? you did not say or do anything at all that might convey you wanted her (and all other women, for good measure) damned to hell for the demons they are?

again, just curious,
Merle

You assume that a man knows a particular woman is likely to play mind games beforehand. For example, with the woman who wanted to go out for dinner or lunch with me, I had met her in a relatively innocuous way: while volunteering (so I made certain assumptions about the quality of people's honesty, for example). Her excuses for rescheduling the first and second time sounded pretty reasonable, and she still expressed interest in doing it some other time. It seemed to be getting pretty ridiculous, though, and I actually talked to a couple of guys at work, and they had trouble not laughing, and they were also thinking what I was starting to think: that she was just messing around. Now, if I had other women to meet at the time, I probably would have stopped with her altogether sooner. Of course, even after she called to cancel 24 minutes before we were supposed to meet for dinner (because of a boyfriend of all things), she still thought we might hang out at some future volunteer activity (I later e-mailed her clarifying that we most certainly would not).

Merle,
No I just said I its not working out, even as firends. I was not really feeling anything from her other then the fact that i feel like she uses me for rides and a place to hang out when she is over here. (she lives on an island, i'm on the mainland). I told I felt she mislead me and I don't trust or repsect her. I can't be firends with someone i can't trust or respect.
I also told her I'm not mad at her because she does not want me as more then a friend, if the feelings are not there they are not there. I'm upset because I felt she was not honest with me from the start. I also told her that she did more damage to me and because of her and the last girl, I have major trust issues now and I will prob. never have the type of reltionship I want. I also said I hope she can live with herself because of it.

Some enjoy playing mind games. Some don't even know how to play mind games.

One can take these things into consideration when deciding who to date. There are ways to filter out the ones you want to avoid before you get seriously involved with them. There are ways to test a person's honesty and reaction to honesty.

This is so ironic. Do you realize you're suggesting guys play a form of mind games to test whether a girl is playing mind games? I'm sure many women believe the mind games they play are "just" to figure out if a guy is honest or unlikely to cheat on her—because some magazine they read or their best friend said so.
