I wouldn't think at any age, judging by what goes on here. It's an attitude thing anyway, not an age thing.

Sadly, I don't think people ever get over playing games. I think the games get worse as we get older. Very sad...

I'd say it depends on the person, as some people keep playing mind games till the day they die.

What I find interesting though, is people who don't/stop playing mind games tend to get ignored. (on the dating scene)

I don't care for mind games, as I'd rather efficiently & quickly get things done, but women force us to play the mind games or we'll be dateless...

The game stops when you decide to no longer play. It takes two to play, if you don’t participate, games over.

As to what age? There is no age limit. The older some get, the better they get at their craft, some to the point that they don’t even know it’s a game any more, the game becomes who they are. These are the ones that can be very hard to spot at times.

There is no age limit to stop playing head games.One might say,Why do either genders play head games.In my opinion scared to face reality untrustworthy and unstable insecure.Deep inside there hearts they feel unwanted by society.And further-more,they believe they are owed. little they do know whilst they having a lot of fun and enjoyment for the time being.Reality will then surface in their latter years becoming solo and no body cares about them,even their own family.Thats karma,what goes around comes around.

Never..... However I've recently had another thought...... As life progresses we have relationships that have wounded us ....... the wound heals and leaves a scar.... We try to move on and in our head it seems as if it does...... then someone inadvertently brushes that scar and boom..... there goes the knee jerk reaction..... I'm working on that knee jerk reaction ..... is it a game .... maybe..... or maybe its a work in progress!!

Some ppl never do. And there's the sort that get pleasure from causing hurt, and feel it necessary to make you "pay" for previous hurt caused to them, from others.

Some people never do - you would think that by a certain age they would have learned how to treat people - but sadly its not the case. Pick yourself up and dust yourself off and start again!!

I am of the mind that men or women should never think some magic age hits where people change.

I hear men ask when will this girl grow up and stop playing games. Answer is that she'll stop when she can't get what she wants from playing said games.

Same deal with women who love to ask when the men they want will hit that age where they'll want to settle down, commit, and marry. The answer is never...not unless they wake up and have no options for easy sex.

Find someone who wants what you want...not sit there wondering when the people around you will "grow up". While you might want commitment, if the people you're pursuing are still chasing fantasy...then they won't change until they can't get what they want in life.

Even then they still might not come around and be the mate you want them to be. Seen one girl who spent years chasing a guy who wouldn't commit to anyone (but would gladly sleep with her). She kept on him and kept wondering when he would "grow past the party days".

He one day met another woman, fell for her, and even married her...leaving said girl gawking and wondering why he passed her up.

MORAL OF THE STORY: If you have to ask or hope someone will "grow up" to be the kind of mate you want, then you're better off kicking them to the curb and seeking someone who's actually the mate you want.

At whatever age they are put in a box 6 ft in the ground, for people who are in the mindset to play games they aren't just gonna wake up one day and have a magic revelation that their game playing ways of life may not be the wisest decision.

Truer words were never spoken, Dazednconfused.In the grave is where all playing ends. Game Over. This whole rat/island thing has been a popular game these days. It's disgusting to manipulate a persons' feelings like that. When a person says "I'm not ready", it means not with YOU. Funny how they can know you're not THE ONE, and still hang around for the goodies. Selfish, is what that is. I have never played anyone. People are to be respected and trusted, until they give you a reason not to. I always trust everyone, but cut the cards. There's sooooo much game playing out there, I have come to the place where I won't fall hard for someone till I've known them all 4 seasons. The ugly head monsters usually can't stay hidden forever.

What games?
The dodgy games that are well intended but destroy so much and 1/2 a seconds thought would have made this obvious?
The dodgy games that are far from well intended?
Or the simple playfulness between people that can exist?

Becareful how far away you wish to stand. Much to be said for balance.

The aspect I think is more of one of destruction and pain to which you refer. These people dont and didn't care. Why should they start now? If they answer because of others, this hasn't mattered to them before.

Never, never, never! People never get over playing games when it comes to dating..and like someone else mentioned..there are different types of games we all play, fun and intented to entertain and attract, well intended but misunderstood and causing pain and the mean, evil games that people play to get what they want.
