Hmm. Interesting post. Not speaking for all women here, but I'd spot those games a mile off and give any fella using them a wide swerve

If a woman is addicted to the rollercoaster of having her emotions toyed with, she has co-dependency issues. This is not a good basis for a real relationship.

My tip: be real. If you feel like saying nice stuff, go with it. If you feel like being in your cave for a while, do it. Just be yourself and the right woman will find you delightful. Unless you're a dick :D
