So, don't waste your time waiting around until her time frees up, and move on to a woman who's "not busy".



sticky this please.

What if the person is playing hard-to-get Question


Grown-ups don't do this.

Yes, yes they do. The "higher status" a woman has, the harder it is for guys to "get" her. I'm not sure if that makes sense or not, but if I woman literally has hundreds if not thousands of guys that would instantly go out with her at the drop of a hat, wouldn't that make her be more selective? If she is so incredibly attractive, she can choose anyone she wants, so why would she go out with someone unless they proved themselves to be worthy? This is how mating works in the animal kingdom, and it is how we work too.

A grown up but be someone who's in their 40s or older then

Some people never grow up. Being a "grown-up" isn't necessarily a factor of one's age, only one's maturity.

many successful couples got together because the guy was persistent

i'm sure all of us have heard a woman describe their husband/boyfriend as "i didn't really like him at first but he eventually won me over"

women can be talked into liking almost any guy

well I didn't think I liked a guy at first then I fell for him, but I think it was more I was denying to myself to believe I liked him at the start.

My wife insists there are, but I have yet to see one.

That isn't playing hard to get. That's actually being hard to get. It's not the same thing.

No. A woman can not be talked into liking almost any guy. You've taken the wrong lesson from these anecdotes. The anecdotes aren't illustrating how any man can win any woman if he just tries hard enough. The anecdotes are illustrating that compatibility between two people isn't always obvious at first, or even second or third meeting. Persistence from a man who is compatible can end in coupledom. Persistance from a man who is incompatible with her will just inspire annoyance.

Women don't have "higher statuses". They are people, not video games.
