It's not a stupid rule.. the reality is that most girls play games at the beginning... and if you dont play games you'll get blown out of the water.

Well put!

That is why you tell the girl that you hate mind games...and if she loses interest and loves mind games ...then she wasn't right one for you....

sounds simple enough?

By the way, when you see her next ask for her ring size and how many kids she wants.

Really gets them.

*buzzer sound* MY reality is all that matters to ME. I don't play games at the beginning in order to FILTER out 'most girls'. I don't want 'most girls'. I seek honest, non-game playing women. Believe me, they're out there. If I get 'blown out of the water', I consider it a blessing that I discovered she's not my type early on, instead of several months/years into the relationship.

But, when you call her on the third day, she will be uber happy that you called her -that is if she is really interested in you. She will also see you as bit of a challenge because you didn't seem super urgent to talk to her...hope this helps.

Edit: Didn't see the OP was posted a couple of days ago. Anyways, this rule is universal...

Good call.

You obviously know nothing about human nature. You have to be a challenge for women, or at leat appear to be. You have to seem mysterious at first or she'll immediately loose interest. Notice how I said at first. After you gain her initial interest it is all history from there.

I feel sorry for you then. First of all, I'm not after women who consider me a challenge if I wait 3 days to call them. To me, that's just dumb. Your blanket statement above may be valid for some or even most women. My point is, I don't persue women who play games. I'd rather fail 10 times, and get a REAL non-game-playing woman.

You should call and hang up a alot, and at all hours of the night. The ladies love the suspense. Nothing says, "I love you!" like 20 crank calls between 2 and 5am. :p

Bah! Good luck if you want to pursue this kind of girls. They will just drop you in the gutter further down the road when they see another guy who "intrigue" them.

You are missing the point. Of course there are exceptions, but it works in getting the girl you want if you do it right. And, it is not about women playing games with you, it is about you playing with them. Anyways, how would you know if someone isn't right for you unless you actually date them? This is so that you can have her interest and actually have a chance to have a relationship. After that, if you feel she is inadequate for you, you can call it off. Just make sure you do it A.S.A.P efore she gets really interested in you and you end up hurting her.

You don't have to play games like this to get her interest. If you must play games before she has any interest in you what will happen later on when you knew each other too well and there are no more surprises? You'll become unamusing, boring and she will just use this as an excuse to leave you. Girls who like to play games are a turn off for me. They are too high maintenance IMO.

Wouldn't you rather be the one turning down the girl... instead of the girl dumping j00? Sometimes you just have to play along with the game... because girls like it in the beginning.

Darthvoy has some pretty good advice. I took it and will call the girl back tomorrow... i'll wait the extra day so that she's uber happy to talk to me. Waiting an extra day doesn't hurt!
