Anyway, let me ask you something: When you told him you work 16 hours a day, was it a: "sorry, i just worked 16 hours straight and am very tired, but i'd have loved to be there for your call" or a "HEY, I JUST WORKED 16 HOURS STRAIGHT AND YOU ASK WHY I WAS NOT THERE ARE YOU DUMB OR WHAT?"

Because I can't afford an XBox (duh). Don't hate the playa, hate the game. | |
|
| ~WHY DO MEN WANT TO PLAY GAMES~ Posted: 6/20/2006 9:01:36 PM | | he's a jerk...you are right to ditch him...pity his poor wife....and why bother to meet with her to discuss this? he lied, you pitched him....what is achieved by rehashing it with her? Tell her your sorry and move on. Men lie, it's what they do. | |
|
| ~WHY DO MEN WANT TO PLAY GAMES~ Posted: 6/20/2006 9:03:00 PM | | all men lie......that's the problem....I hate men lying to me but that's all I meet....liars, and no I hate the emotional crap........so I dump 'em fast...why waste good energy on bad? | |
|
| ~WHY DO MEN WANT TO PLAY GAMES~ Posted: 6/20/2006 9:36:06 PM | All men Lie! Women, you found us out. It's been a conspiracy for thousands of years, and to think a couple of sex starved women with bad attitudes broke the secret. Hats off to you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Everybody, give them an applause!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lets see... I went out with him because he said he was seperated. I can't believe his wife said they were still married. What kind of self respecting woman goes for that? All I can say is "IDIOTS". Don't blame men, blame your lack of self worth.

Men! Cruel and heartless???
Go back and read what you have just written Scorpion.
This poor guy is in the middle of a rotten break up and is just looking for comfortable shoulder, namely yours, to have a good howl on.
And you have the nerve to call him a "cheat" or a "player". Just because youve got sex on the brain doesn't mean he has. Come to think of it has he even mentioned sex with you yet?
These seperated but not yet divorced men are some of the best partners any woman can hope for but most women are so snobbish and hung up on a wortless bit of paper with a few ink satin on it that they ignore them. | |
|
| ~WHY DO MEN WANT TO PLAY GAMES~ Posted: 6/21/2006 11:02:17 AM | Dunno if he was really playing a game. Maybe he really did think it was over, but she didn't. Maybe he was ambivalent.
I've dated women who were separated but still married, and never had any difficulty.
It all depends on the particulars of the case. | |
|
| ~WHY DO MEN WANT TO PLAY GAMES~ Posted: 7/2/2006 2:59:21 AM | | I met this guy through my friend's husband. Not a good experience at all. We hit it off nice. He bought me flowers, took me to his place and played music and made my favorite drink, apple martini, blah blah blah. Everything was great. We spoke on the phone for the first week after. Then one day I call and he doesn't answer. Now we have spent a lot of time together and I thought things were great but you know the saying "if everything is too perfect, it's usually too good to be true." Well this was definitely the case. I found out he had a girlfriend and she found out about me. Drama, Drama, Drama..... He told me he was dating but not serious with the chick. It was terrible. Turned out he was only using me for sex because he said she wasn't appealing to him anymore, or ever. I was crushed but I learned fast that I had to give this guy up and I did. I would have never gotten involved with him if I knew he was really with someone. It hurt really bad and it turns out they are still together even though he claims they broke up after the first drama scene. I wonder why men have to play games like this. Give me the choice to be with someone with a girlfriend or not. | |

| ~WHY DO MEN WANT TO PLAY GAMES~ Posted: 7/2/2006 6:27:54 AM | i do not agree with the "why do men want to play games" statement
please remember it does take two to tango, i am not eliminating the fact that men play games but it goes both ways | |

| ~WHY DO MEN WANT TO PLAY GAMES~ Posted: 7/2/2006 2:00:07 PM | Sweety4402 I think your actions were very commendable. You've shown great maturity and compassion in your actions and I take my hat off to you. A lot of women in your situation wouldn't have been nearly so understanding.
Sounds like this guy has some personal issues that he needs to deal with, I wouldn't necessarily say he's "bad news" but I wouldn't say you should consider pursuing anthing either, there's a whole lot of heartache down that road - for everyone involved. He may be in a mess in his head and that may not be his fault - he may not have thought he was lying or playing games, his wife may have a skewed view of his feelings, who can really tell? Anyway, long story short, you did the right thing, but don't necessarily judge this as "games". Most of these "games" are subconscious reactions to a situation and how people have been groomed to react to them. People make bad decisions and judgements all the time - we're all learning as we go along, there's no rule book. I can't count the amount of girls I've talked to that think using sex and jealousy as a weapon to get or keep what they want is perfectly acceptable behaviour and would never consider this a game. ANY form of manipulation is considered a game in my book.
I think the only thing you can do is be brutally honest with yourself and diplomatic with other people enough that you spare their feelings where, when and as often as you can. | |

| ~WHY DO MEN WANT TO PLAY GAMES~ Posted: 7/2/2006 4:12:23 PM | | Hmm Why do women play games why do people play games that should have been your question, if you want to put all men in the same pile of shit thats fine.. But the truth of the matter is just as many women play games as do the men. they can be just as big of liers ans any man,but usually they are better at it, bat your eyes tell us a story and we eat it up. its happened to us all darlin, and if it hasn't it most likely will.. some men and women both need to give their heads a shake and grow up.. its that simple if you want the real thing then be real.. | |
|
| ~WHY DO MEN WANT TO PLAY GAMES~ Posted: 7/2/2006 4:16:01 PM | | The question should be; Why to so many people play games... I wish I knew myself... Is this a new cool trend? | |
|
| ~WHY DO MEN WANT TO PLAY GAMES~ Posted: 7/2/2006 4:32:30 PM | ^^^unfortunately, it is highly doubtful it is a cool new trend. It is somewhat funny as men and women have to play a certain "game" at the beginning of a relationship - in order to "catch" him or her. Those games however are thought of as flirting and having fun.
From there forward, it is simply a lack of communication. It is difficult at times to open up to someone. You open up too much and they run, you don't open up enough and they run. It is a fine line, guess one just has to meet the person who is walking the same tightrope as they are? | |

| ~WHY DO MEN WANT TO PLAY GAMES~ Posted: 7/2/2006 4:47:06 PM | The ones who lie ~ hope that you will like them anyway
The ones who only want sex ~ need an ego boost
The ones who are married ~ are scum
The ones who let you meet their kids ~ desperate | |

| I know what you mean Posted: 7/2/2006 5:21:12 PM | | I met shadow00768 here and he had a profile that told how his wife died and he has raised his kids....only to get involved to find everything was a lie so close to the threads of his life it was scarey. He told me so much stuff, mostly true, some not. Then I talk to the dead wofe on the phone...dammit. What the hell is wrong with people! | |

| ~WHY DO MEN WANT TO PLAY GAMES~ Posted: 7/2/2006 5:38:19 PM | | Kimmee,thanks for that story.I notice that at times,so many of us can get led down the path of our illusions.Some of us get so misled,but the end result is the same, the right person dosen't do this kind of thing.Its good to keep your heart in check,reading someof these forums is a great reminder.I am still amazed at some profiles.I met with a male pof member,a darn good guy, we are friends.For interests sake, we looked at certain male profiles of a coulple of distant aquaintances on this site.The amount of totally false info regarding kids, jobs,etc.and personal descriptions downloaded from outside sources,(other than the so called author)were enough to make me faint.Some have large favorites list!Obviously,lying works,for a while. All I can say is,if it sounds too good to be true,it is.Be so careful ! | |
|
| ~WHY DO MEN WANT TO PLAY GAMES~ Posted: 7/2/2006 6:02:13 PM | | Wow Scorpion it sounds like youve had an interesting last couple months. I was dating a guy from here who was still living with his ex and after were dating for a couple months he started to change his mind on what he wanted and I had a feeling he was getting back with his ex although he told me there was nothing there guys can be flaming ***holes. What Ive learned from this not to trust a man who is still living with his ex. Well anyhow that my little story good luck with meeting this persons ex. | |
|
| ~WHY DO MEN WANT TO PLAY GAMES~ Posted: 7/2/2006 6:04:33 PM | | I actually think this is a good forum so who created it kudos to them, because just as girls play head games so do guys. | |
|
| ~WHY DO MEN WANT TO PLAY GAMES~ Posted: 7/2/2006 6:32:17 PM | Let's be serious here.
Both men and women play mind games. Well mind games, or they're just lying about the type of person they are looking for, or will call for a second/third date. in the first place. I've found that for much part "good personality" doesn't mean he's got character, but really means "he knows how to tell me what I want to hear"...or "takes care of his body" doesn't mean he's somewhat fit but really means "he's got six pack abs".
When one of these profiles asks you to describe yourself, don't give what you think will attract the most people. If you have to say something bluntly, at least you'll get points for being honest, that way you won't get the messages you don't want, and you won't have to be a******** who plays mind games in the first place.
Personally, I don't like the bombshells. I like the girl-next-door sorta girl. Some meat but not overweight (I'm not a heavy guy myself). A girl who doesn't take an hour to get ready. A girl who will split the bill because she doesn't think that going out for dinner should be me paying for her time. But most of all someone who loves to talk and can take off colour jokes and can also laugh at the ridiculously random things I say sometimes. | |
|
| ~WHY DO MEN WANT TO PLAY GAMES~ Posted: 7/2/2006 7:09:23 PM | | Well I dont like the hotties either I like more average guys who I can trust and someone who will do the normal stuff which seems to be out of style ive experienced guys who just wanna a roll in the hay to not knowing what they want. | |
