Mind games

Javier 

WOMEN like to play mind games with us men. I don’t know why, I don’t know when it all started, but they just cant get enough of making us get discombobulated after they ask us questions or make moves on us that have no right comeback really.

So that said, I’ve decided to point out a few of the more common mind games women play, and let you know exactly what we think about them. And just so you know ladies, we’re not stupid when we fall for the games. We’ve just decided long ago that for peaceful lives we’re going to let you win, sometimes.

1. Wearing skimpy clothes then getting upset when we ogle.

Don’t try to play us. We’re giving you exactly what you want when we ogle you because it makes you feel desirable, sexy and whatnot. So don’t tell us that you “don’t appreciate the way we look at you sometimes” or other junk like that since you’re really just lying to yourself. And guess what? If you women stopped cursing us for looking, then we both could get what we want in relative peace.

2. Making us wait on purpose.

We know that you could be ready on time if you wanted, and what’s worse, we know that you are just making us wait to see how much leeway you have before we gat mad. The thing is however, if we were to really get mad you wouldn’t like it so why play with fire? Oh, right, you play with fire because you want to take control in the relationship, make us wait without complaint and soon enough you start telling us how much we love that relative of yours we really hate. But if you think about it, your power isn’t really that powerful if you have to keep testing it to see if it still works.

3. Sending mixed messages.

A classic example of this is when a woman tells you it doesn’t matter when you both go on a date, then after you choose a place and take her, she pouts and acts nasty the entire evening. Now this kind of behaviour is clearly geared towards getting us to fawn over you unnecessarily, just because you feel the need (once again) to exercise control over our emotions. We know what you’re doing and to tell you the truth, it’s just because we like you why we put up with it.

4. Asking us what we think about a hot girl that walks past.

Of course she’s hot, but if we say that, we are practically telling you politely to begin feeling insecure about the features the hot girl has which are better than yours. So of course we have to say “She’s alright, but she’s not my type” then quickly change the subject. We don’t ask you if the man who just walked past looks hot so why, oh why, do you have to ask us that question? One day you might just hear the answer you are driving at and it won’t be our fault, you guys will have pushed us over the edge.
