Hi, I don't recall seeing a thread about game playing. I'm not talking about monopoly or word games. I mean game playing in relationships. I have a hunch that guys and girls might define it differently.

If I am interested in a guy, usually I will mention I'm not into games. For me that means no stringing him along with false promises. I wouldn't lie to him or mislead him. No tit for tat. If we're acquainted, it also means I have the courtesy to respond to his pm's or vm (I have been guilty of deleting pm's without response if they solicit for cyber or phone sex with no other substance).

What do you consider game playing? Do you enjoy the games? Have you been hurt by the games? I'm interested in male and female responses. Help me out? Thanks for your time-Have a great day!!
 
I guess it depends on whether you mean online or in real life.
I'm guilty of deleting or passing by initial pm's that are too sex based. I'm here to meet people for other reasons than just sex, caming sexually or sex-talk.

In real life I'm also guilty of flirting without any intentions, but I do tell the guy upfront that there are no intentions, which may be written off by the guy as a cover up or something but when I say it's just for fun it is just for fun...

does that make me bad? seriously?
 
Head games : A copious amount of bullshit, which may be exampled by, but not limited to :

Insincerity.
Inconsistency.
Duplicity.

Sorry. A sore point for me tonight.

I guess I need to just accept the fact that people aren't as blunt and straightforward as I am.

And that people whose motto is "honesty!" are the ones I should leave well enough alone.

No, it doesn't make you bad. If you tell the person upfront but they don't take you seriously, then it's their problem. Flirting can be fun. I flirt online here but not much in r/l. Something about those masks.....

Thanks for your response!!!

Sorry to hit a sore spot. I think it's sore for a few of us.

My grandfather always said beware the person who claims sincerity. I guess it could apply to honesty too. I know this place is about fun but there are real people with real emotions on the other end of the message. Being played isn't fun online or in r/l. Sorry you are smarting!
 
hmmm...game playing hu?

Was just recently involved with someone that liked to play games...unfortunately I wasn't aware that we were playing games and will have to agree with Raidho...a copious amount of bullshit!! but may I times that by 10?

Just want to throw in also that I'm so sick of hearing "I'm sorry" after someone has totally fucked with you head. Sorry just dosen't cut it sometimes...take responsibility for your actions and not depend on "I'm Sorry" to get your ass out of everything!!!!
 
Yeah I'm pretty sick of games. I'm kind of annoyed of being accused of them too.

Though someone explained it to me.

"You're TOO honest and direct. What's more you're sincere. You always say what you mean and don't care. You might not say everything on your mind but you always say what you mean.

People don't understand this, and it makes them look at you for a con. Which since they don't understand they always find. And you will never win."

Someone else explained to me a different way which I've taken to heart though.

"You're too dumb to lie kid. And they're too smart to hear you."

But I try VERY VERY HARD not to lie or mislead.
 
INL, it's not game playing, it's pure cant ... the only difference between r/l and virtual is that in the latter it's way too easy to be false
 
Thank you!

Yes-
Hi sweetie!! The bullshit gets deep doesn't it? "I'm sorry" means more when it is said with sincerity. I hear people saying it but not meaning it too. Sorry to hear that someone is jerking with you. Want me to call Mario and Guido? They can take care of little problems like that, lol :devil:

CT-
It's amazing how some people play the games and then try to blame you for the misunderstanding, isn't it? Do you think your behavior and words coincide? I think actions speak louder than words for many people. Maybe they misread your actions? Just wondering...

Vibes-
Very succint! Thank you!

Good morning everyone!
