Several those are:


1) The "I don't need you" game.

2) The "I'll date you and string you along til I find someone better" game.

3) The "Let's be friends, even though I broke up with you" game. If that's not a great excuse to continue using someone, I don't know what is?

How about the:

"My X-wife never said no to sex" game..

and it was countered with: "Then why did you divorce her?"

I think there may be a lot of women that game themselves by investing too much emotionally too soon.

Have you discussed being mutually exclusive with him? Maybe you think your relationship with him is more than he thinks it is.

This isn't stringing her along because he thinks you're both just having a good time. You enjoy the time you spend together, but that's no reason to stop enjoying the time he may spend with other women.

Okay ladies, here's your chance. I've read some many posts about the head games men play. What are these games? Please, give some examples.


Was this thread really a chance for the ladies to voice their opinions honestly? Or was it really just another bait thread thrown out there as an opportunity to say how wrong we are about 'the games men play'?

All things that women have done to me.

Here's a few more:

The making me have to fit in around your busy schedule and moods while you expect me to make you my priority game.

The constant "you aren't being romantic" attention seeking game.

The coming into my house and moving everything about so that I can't find anything and telling me that I'm the one that's untidy game.

The phoning me up late at night when I've had a long day and am tired trying to pick an argument game.

The constantly breaking up with me and then expecting me to take you back game.

The trolling me with emails and text messages instead of just saying it to my face game.

The thinking that because I said, "Okay, we'll get some scented candles" to keep you happy that I actually like them and don't think that they are just a waste of money game.

The telling me that I just want to have sex when that's apparently the only thing I can do right and you keep coming back for more game.

The telling me a lot of stuff that isn't really any of my business about people that I don't even know and expecting me to be supportive and take sides game.

The complaining about my drinking when the only reason that you don't drink as much is that you are completely legless after a couple of glasses of wine game.

The complaining that I don't talk about my interests with you when you get bored after about five minutes if I do try to do that game.

The complaining that I don't understand you when you're talking utter twaddle game.

Well, I did not say that all women do this and I haven't done most of the things that women have accused men of in this thread but yeah, I am talking from personal experience and I do think these are mind games, even if they were not intentionally trying to do my head in.

As far as the last one being just insulting goes, I was thinking about a particular argument that I had with an ex girlfriend but so what? Do I have to agree with everything somebody says or even make sense of it just because I'm going out with them?

You are probably right though. It's a rant about my private life and I perhaps shouldn't be doing that in public but as far as I can tell that seems to be the purpose of this forum...

By all means rant! That's what we're all here for....

Ok. Personal mind games to you...Ill accept that.
But not listening to her because you feel its utter twaddle ....did you call it?

Not cool buddy... women notice of this type of attitude.

You're saying, I could be having a piss poor day and if I try to tell you about it.....you'd tune me out because its twaddle to you.
