Eureka! Why men play games. . .

The interesting thing about men is that they never want to feel played, but want to make sure they’re playing you. As I’ve mentioned before, several sources have told me that you need to treat men badly in order to get their respect and for them to want you. That’s hard for me to swallow, but it’s so true. When you treat a man with respect and love he steps all over you, but when you treat him badly he’s more responsive, but I think I figured out why. . .

 

Drum roll please. . .

 

It’s because when you treat them badly, they respond so that you’ll let your guard down and start treating them good and once you start treating them nicely then they act like. . . well like the dogs that men usually are. You see, treating you well is just a tactic to make you think they really care so then they can make you look stupid for believing in the first place that they, actually, care. That’s very manipulative on their part, but there’s a quick fix to this, just treat them badly all the time, then they’ll be on you like white on rice.

 

Another reason a man might treat a woman nice is if he wants something, say maybe borrow $50 to go out with his friends? He’ll tolerate all of the woman’s meanness because in the end he’ll get something out of it but once he gets what he wants he hangs up the phone on the woman who thinks he cares about her because of all the kindness that he showed her while he wanted something. This is what leaves us baffled and insane. This is how women lose their minds because men love to play games and as a result we’re forced to play as well. I mean, in the end of the day, it is a man’s world, but that doesn’t mean we can’t beat them at their own game, because in the end of the day men are stupid. Strong generalization? I know, but stupid in the sense that they take good things for granted and they can’t be straight up. Instead of manipulating and confusing a woman, just say, I don’t care about you, I just need $50, can I borrow it and I’ll pay you back? I rather someone tell me what they want from me than play with my emotions.

 

Men waste too much time on things that aren’t worth it, they don’t know how to take a good thing and run with it. They want to play with you, messing with a woman and having her hang around and lament a man makes him feel stronger and treat a woman worse, but when a woman asserts herself and is straight forward, men can’t handle it because they feel that they’re losing control. . .

 

So, ladies the important thing is to always make sure that the ball is in your court or else you’ll get whacked. . .

The Ancient Rituals of Matchmaking . . . Gone?

Back in the days, people met their significant other through a mutual friend. Nowadays, people meet their significant other as a MySpace friend. No longer are people getting setup on blind dates, no longer are you hearing, “Hey I have a friend that’s perfect for you.” In this fast time of technological advancement, all the hard work of finding someone has been completely left to the individual and I think that the internet has a large role in this menacing situation.

 

Why? Simply because the internet is the new “it” scene; it’s where strangers reunite and engage in casual conversation and where most people are looking for their lover. The population is feeling more comfortable with looking for love online and why shouldn’t they with all the options at their fingertips, literally? It’s so much easier to filter male, 23+, no kids, great job than to go to any real-life event and meet someone that meets your criteria.

 

As the web expands, it presents people with more options to limit human contact. But is that a good thing? Easier? Yes. Good? Questionable. As we become more dependent on the internet to find love, we limit the ability to meet people in real-life, and we become less socially adept and we’re stuck behind a computer typing away our feelings.

 

I can’t exactly pinpoint the exact repercussions of limiting ourselves to online dating, but it seems that if we dedicate our lives to finding love online, we’ll lose something when it comes to dating, love, and socializing. As convenient as the internet is, it takes something away from the magic of it all.

 

But the real problem is not when the individual wants to seek love on-line, but when it becomes a collective moment, then it becomes a situation because the stragglers that don’t want to find love on the internet are left behind.

 

So let’s stay inline with the fast times of the tech life, but let’s not forget the sheer joy of coming together at a dinner party, or the joy of introducing one great friend to another and creating a love connection. Let’s not leave all the matchmaking to match.com or eHarmony, because we can create great love connections without the help of 100 page application or a $500 online fee.
