Why do women play games with men?

In the dating scene we stumble across people that we find attractive most of them turn us off for multiple, reasons. What angers me, is that I sometimes find myself getting involved with someone who is a player. In today’s society I find that there is no such thing as a real relationship or love it’s how I feel it’s not like how it used to be. Someone told me all it is, is sex and casual hookups I agreed life is too short to play games but women have been doing it all their life. I’m not saying all women do but (most women do it to lead them on) it’s really immature we try to avoid these kinds of people but it’s hard because of how attractive they are. But most women aren’t attracted to us but it’s perfectly natural we’re not going to be attracted to everyone we see on the streets. It’s like when a woman asks me out if I’m not interested I just be honest and tell her so she understands. It’s not good to say let me think about it or ignore the person because it cause the man to chase them. I had a woman tell me “the reason I ignore him it’s because I don’t want to hurt his feelings” I responded you’re hurting his feelings by ignoring him. Being straightforward by telling him you’re not interested will help him understand so he can move on.
