Good grief, why do you have this obsession with "rewarding" people. The Pavlovian principle was one thing but ...

I took the lead with all kinds of romantic ideas and outings and she never reciprocated.
The next relationship I learned my lesson, created distance and challenge and got much better results. The woman bought me stuff, cooked for me , it was a refreshing change.

Enquiring minds need to know! Guess neither scenario worked out very well.

As I said earlier, women will chase highly desirable men. That includes those that say they will never chase a man. These days, women don't respond to chivalry, despite what they say. If you sense a woman is not reciprocating and is playing hard to get, back off. If she's truly interested, she won't lose you and she will chase. I've seen it happen too many times.

So wrong... depends if the woman has self- respect or not... yes some women think they are not complete without a man on their arm... GEEZ... many women know that "game" you suggest... just keep playing games and wonder... "what am I doing wrong??"...

You say I'm wrong, but actions speak louder than words. Women do chase in those situations. Just because you don't want to hear the truth, doesn't mean what I said is false. Guys that understand female psychology do this and it works. Sorry, but I'm 100% correct.

It all depends...on your intentions.


If you're trying to get laid, it can work like a charm-- but if you want a legit relationship, it's best to skip the reverse psychodrama and mind games as much as possible.

They'll always be there to some extent, I mean we're dealing with men & women here, it's inevitable. But the more games played, the less real the two players become.

Ya gotta keep it real.

What do you mean by return the favor? You mean also open doors, pull out his chair, get his coat, etc? I'm not sure what you mean.

Wow, that's game playing to the max. I don't care what you think and if you believe you're 100% correct- I'm a woman and I know what I want, what I will do and what I won't. I really do appreciate chivalry in a man and I won't take those acts for granted. I won't chase a "highly desirable" man- if I sense that a man I like isn't into me, I will let it be and move on. Doing otherwise is having no self-respect. Maybe it's the type of women you meet, but we're not all that way.

show him she's interested
do nice things for him in her own way
call him every once in a while
show interest in seeing him again
make him feel comfortable

If I need to tell you specifics, sorry, it's not my job to teach women how to be a good girlfriend.

That's exactly what I meant by "appreciate".
