Boys, there is no need for games!

Men always say that "women love to play games" but the reality is that men play just as many if not more games than women. I don't know maybe it's just the men in my life, my "game-playing-type", maybe men just love to fuck with my head but I find myself constantly figuring out the moves and actions of the opposite sex.

Why can't it just be simple? Be honest, accept the other person for who they are and just keep it real. There is no need to say one thing while meaning another. There is so much time wasted on wondering "why" and "what does that mean" with an occasional "did I do something wrong?".

If you like someone - tell them, if you feel that fire inside of you - be brave, kiss them, if you are feeling that fire coming from the one you like - let it consume you, if you think there is a possibility of something great - don't let time and distance stop you from exploring it, if you think they love another - let it go, if you wonder why - ask them, if you don't like the answer - shame on you.

I watched Hitch yesterday, and it just shows how hard it can be, even if you know that playing around isn't what either of you want.
I think it is sad that it has to be this hard, but it's an ingrained part of society now, I think. Men almost expect women to be playing games and vice versa. They'll chat to their friends about it and they'll start giving them advice cos everyone else knows more about how to pick up the opposite sex than you do, and then you slowly become one of them and it becomes an expectation for you too, and that's the saddest thing.
I try to stay naive in my expectations of women, but that hasn't gotten me anywhere so far.
It seems, maybe, but nice guys do finish last.

Very well put. And I have to say that nice guys don't always finish last but for some reason lot's of women (myself included) get attracted to men who are illusive in some ways. I don't want to use the term "bad boy". I think that some game playing is acceptable and maybe even needed in order to keep things interesting, because let's face it half the fun in the relationship is not knowing what's next.

Although I do agree that keeping this interesting borders on necessary, I don't think that playing games is the way to do it.
I can't really talk much about this as I have very little experience in dating, let alone women, but I see other people do it and sometimes I'm just bemused by what's going on!
Maybe I just need to get out more..

There are must be alternatives to game-playing. The games men and women play will be my next blog entry!

Every once in a while, a man will tell you that he "doesn't like girls who play games."

This translated means "I can play games with you, but please don't try and play them with me."
