Why Do Men Play Games With A Woman's Emotions?

I am a 40 year old woman that does not play games and almost every guy I go out at first claims they don't want a game player. But they always end up being the one's that paly games? Why? BTW these are not young guys...they are in their 40's!

    I don't think they think they are playing games. I believe that the average man just does not understand that life has rules, This means that. Tit means tat. Add the fact that they are a more selfish sex than women are, and you have a recipe for

    dissaster. Remember that even if you have been through 10

    bad apples. There are hundreds of orchards, Keep your chin up and good luck. You are learning what the ground rules are.

    Play differently.

    Age doesn't matter. BOYS play games with a woman's emotions. Not MEN. MEN are respectful and responsible. Some BOYS just never grow up, even into their 40's!

    I have gone through the same thing a million times in the last 3 years, I maybe only be twenty, but I'm not a game player either, I don't bounce from guy to guy, I want a serious relationship..Something that's going to last. I've been used by a guy, to piss off his ex, who he then got back with once I figured out his game & broke it off. Another guy, who I feel head over heels for, was a player, and unfortunatly, I didn't know this until I saw 'em kissing and groping another girl...Not only was he 'dating' this other girl & I, but there was also another female...This guy really effed with my head...

    But, From what I've obsevered, most men don't care about anyone else's feelings but their own, and other men just plain lack emotion. And then there's the guys who know exactly what they're doing, but enjoy watching woman suffer, our pain brings them much pleasure...

    They really tick me off...Grrr

  • It's because they have communication issues, but they're not the only ones. All people have communication issues.

    Also, I look at it like this... good guys are hard to find, so what if I have to fish through some "game players" to find a good guy? Don't let those game players GET to your emotions, just enjoy the ride looking for someone you click with.

    That happens to both sexes unfortunately. I'm 40, and I'm definitely more mature now than in my twenties, I'm sorry you've been attracted to the immature ones, but we're not all like that.

    People treat you the way you want to be treated and get away with what you let them get away with, especially early in the relationship. When you first meet a guy you have to let him know where you stand and none of this let things happen crap. If you do that, things will happen right underneathe your nose and by the time you discover what has happened, it is too late! You found yourself a dead-beat! Any man that goes for a women he can manipulate probrably has a self esteem problem. Women, when choosing a man; choose the male role model you respect the most...Now find someone equal to him or better. Chances are anything less then that will be a disappointment.

    I feel that men do it because women allow them to. I'm not saying intentionally, but a lot of women can't see through the bull. By the time they figure it out it is too late. You have to pick up on the games very earlier or you will pay later. Just trying to be straight up :)

    Sorry, but if men are playing games with you then they don't really like you.

    that's what i'd like to know!!they tell you they love you,think you're the world to them...and then you find out they've been saying the same things to other women!!of course,not all are like this!

    don't worry!!a player always gets his!!he ends up sad!!but it's his own fault!!
