Why are men saying many women play mind games online????

I get online and chat to men often. I'm finding them to be really open about all sorts of topics.

Sure... I get a few that just want to talk about sex and money and I don't have a problem with these topics as long as they aren't the main focal point of the chat (besides the block and delete buttons are handy at these times) but a majority of them are really nice to talk to, very respectful and even quite funny at times.

They claim many women online are playing mind games. They say women dodge and weave and conversations with them become confusing. Are my women folk letting my team down? Are they really as shallow to talk to like these men are saying or is this just a good pick up line? Am I the only women that feels this way or are there others also able to converse well...? I'm no bimbo and can hold down an intelligent open conversation about many topics personal or business and not easily led. It generally doesn't take me long to smell the B/S and diplomatically deal with it.

I'm under the understanding that there are more single women available in Australia than men. If this is so and the statistics are correct, then surely men have a greater number of women to pick from than women do. Perhaps this is part of the problem... maybe the men are taking advantage of this statistic or maybe some women are feeling like they are competing with each other and are a little more fear driven than men.... or perhaps men aren't giving women enough time to thaw out before reacting????.... Hey.... just throwing possible explanations out there....??????? nothing in concrete....

If anyone out there, both men and women, can shed some light or are able to relate to what I'm saying, please give me some feedback, as I'd really like to hear about others perception on this men and women and relating thing.

I have only been online for just a few short weeks and have found many good men to converse with out there.
When i chat with men in the first few minutes... i have found them to mirror my open mind and heart, so breaking the ice is done with more ease (more often than not).... perhaps this is why I'm getting such a gr8 response.... it may be that they live in the moment and mirror what they are dealing with in the first few minutes and that sets the pace of how the connection takes place.....................................sheeeeeeeesh.......... i could think about "WHY IS IT SO" all day but i must admit, this experience has got me a little baffled and very curious for some feedback.

kind regards

I read your profile, and wanted to send you an email.

I was told I am blocked due to my age and location.

Fair enough.

You said you were a passionate woman; I love it when someone so passionately does not desire to hear from me.

Fair enough.

I just wanted to quote a line from an Edie Brickell song:

"Philosophy... is talk on a cereal box,
Religion... is a light in the fog.

"Philosophy... is a walk on a slippery rock
Religion... is a smile on a dog."

I don't know why these four lines always make my eyes misty. I guess their power of truth.

The other thing I wanted to say was the mighty ducks group photo.

Oh, and that I worked as a cashier for a passenger-ferry boats company. Our name was "Ferry Docks", and I always put the name on the deposit slip for the day's take as "Ferry Dogs". Nobody ever reprimanded me for it. Maybe everyone just more interested in the money beside the deposit slip than in my budding literary creativitism.

I loved your literary grammar. "A few"... and a plural case for the verb. Many other examples in your main text. The "I'm a women" I chalked up to its being a typo.

Why are men saying women play games? I am not a man, and I still don't know why people say that. I think it's the ease of expression that is so attractive about it. No two women play games the same way, and they don't play games in the first place. Those who play games are scammers and Goddesses. (Try to get a straight word out of God just once, and you'll see what I mean. The New Testament has more games-playing by the inspirator than all the women could on this site -- why the parbles? Why the temporal relevance? Why the need to interpret every statement? Is it complexity that makes us wonder at the Bible? I hardly think so. Complexity can be sorted out. Stupidity and incoherent compostition can't. So infinite complexity and incoherence have one thing in common: Hopelessly incomprehensibilty by man.)

What I mean is that to say "women play games" is a perfect umbrella expression to say "I'm too poor, fat, ugly and old to intgerest women. At first they act interested, but eventually they retract all the promises while they were still (falsely) believing I was nice, debonair and intelligent." Men can't say that, really, can they now. So they say "women play games". To the point, completely meaningless, and everyone understands it.

It's time we stood up, over our heads, and being over the overstanding, we won't be understanding to people who are in over their own heads with their lies.

confused This ones realy confusing ,, for me anyway laugh help

Some have different perspectives of what mind games are .So many terminoligies of who thinks what ,,

Y Can think that Z has played mind games in a reality situation ,a scenario being confused Male askes Female in a pub iff she wants a drink , both just met as strangers in pub etc ,, Male a bit of a pratt , loud, gods gift , sleasy , boring ,, then asks female iff she wants a drink ,, ( female in safe company with her friends he in his Male company } she refuses as she thinks he"s a toss pot and on the pull for anything ,, she politely refuses but gives in after his obsessive wont take no for an answer campaign ..

After she has finished and bored with said person , leaves the pub with her friends ,, Male for some reason then thinks because he hasnt even been given her telephone number has been used ,, some Male logic or something rolling on the floor laughing

Apparently she is into playing mind games rolling on the floor laughing

Moral of the story confused

Always tears before bedtime rolling on the floor laughing
