Kudos to you for explaining what's really going on with your Kitten analogy :)
I have encountered the same problem on PoF. A man who really wants a woman seems almost desperate and it tends to scare her away if she doesn't feel the same way. Likewise, a woman who pursues a man, phones too often, emails too much, eager to see him at the drop of a hat will turn him off eventually if he doesn't feel the same way about her. This isn't anything about games, it's just human nature!
Essentially, it is what comes from the heart, not the outside packaging that counts in my books. Leave no stone unturned, look beneath the surface and let a man pursue you gracefully. | |

WOW, yes, I can't count the times. SO now, when a woman shows JUST a hint of Indecisiveness. I'm gone!
So yes, enjoy your games. | |

It lets me know they're going to be a forty FIVE year old woman some day asking 'what happened to all the guys? How come nobody wants me now?' in the same forum...................... | |

What's weird about this is that one of the meanings of "bodacious" is "blatant", yet she seems to thoroughly disdain those who display this very trait. Can we thus conclude she hates herself?
Practicing psychiatry without a license is so much fun it ought to be illegal. | |

Posted: 5/3/2008 6:56:36 PM | | While the Original Poster may seem psychotic by her admitted tendency to base her interest in someone simply in indirect proportion to his interest in her, it seems that is something genetically programmed. It is a game, as in post 15, that is played by all animals, including humans. At least the original poster is catching on to why she is having relationship problems, being so flighty in her interest in men. Perhaps a great deal of it is based in vanity and the inability of some to deal with rejection, either real or perceived rejection. | |

So, don't show interest even if you are (interested). Be a challenge so play games. Don't show all your cards so be secretive and good gawd, don't be direct about your interest or complement her too much (she will get bored and you will lose value). So, our value as people is dependent on how we 'play the game' and whether we're sneaky enough.... okay.... perhaps, that is why I think it's all B.S. and feel that as people, we're all stupid A****es.
I guess there's always looks, money and a fancy car if you are not a sufficient player. The gals can always just wait and buy enough makeup, clothes, and go on constant diets until the a$$&%$# that they've decided have the most value/money/looks/sense of humour etc. etc. is worth the time. | |
