The topic I am about to talk about doesn't actually apply to all women, it's just something I have observed with a lot of ladies in my country. Ok, this topic was inspired by a thread I came across on nairaland and I think I will just have to start with that so you will know where I am coming from.
A lady made a post earlier today on nairaland with the title: Why Are Men Uninterested Nowadays and I knew it is going to be interesting. According to her, she's 33 years old and ready to settle down with a man. She has a good career, a startup in the make-up industry, is humble, appreciative, blah blah blah, and all other qualities.
She got linked to a guy that recently got back from the US and she found him to be respectful, successful, and also had the intention of settling down just like her. They went out on a date and apparently, she later discovered that she was throwing herself at him and it was very embarrassing for her, so what did she do? She ghosted him!
She withdrew and decided to form busy by not responding to his texts and calls for over two days! According to her, she did that so it won't be like she was desperate for his attention but it seems she didn't know what it will look like to the guy because he finally stopped calling or texting her, and now she's regretting the whole thing. I mean, what else does she want him to do after ghosting him for over two days?!
You are already 33 years old but still want to be playing the same mind game she did in her 20s, and now she's wondering why she's not yet married meanwhile she has been chasing men away with her attitude. Why will anybody think it's cool to ignore a person that's interested in you for over 2 days and still expect them to keep chasing you?
That's the thing that a lot of ladies do in my country; "the hard-to-get technique". When I asked some ladies why they do that, they said it's because they want the man to work for it and earn their love so he wouldn't take them for granted, but that's some major bullsh*t! Most of them still end up being taken for granted even when a guy chases them for 2 years.
A lady will have a crush on a guy and luckily for her, the universe is on her side and the guy finally approaches her and she finds out he is also interested in her, and boom! She activates her security lock and wants the guy to keep guessing the password to unlock her heart, and then she gets angry when the guy stops trying.
Sometimes it even gets worse for some of them as the man that is chasing them may end up dating their friend. I remember a case some years back, one of my friends was trying to get a lady to go on a date with him and she was playing hard to get. He couldn't stress himself much so he left her and approached her friend, the friend agreed! The other lady was furious! π
You didn't want something, why get angry when someone else who sees the worth end up with that same thing? Now my friend and the lady's friend are engaged after dating for several years, it's the other lady's loss after all. Someone once told me that whenever a lady declines a guy's advances and her friend suddenly starts dating the same guy, she too becomes interested and starts getting jealous, and from what I have observed it's true in most cases.
What's wrong with just going after what you want without playing mind games? A lot of guys these days no longer have time to chase after a girl, once they notice you're playing hard to get, they move on to the next girl. Honestly, I find it demeaning to be chasing after a girl for several months and she keeps ignoring you sometimes and only gives you attention when she wants, people that do that are referred to as simps.
I only call someone twice unless it's an emergency. If it's a girl I am interested in, I call twice and if she doesn't pick up or doesn't call back, then she can forget about it. I know my worth and I am not going to belittle myself to the level of making someone a priority when they only see me as an option, and that's what a lot of these ladies do, they want a man to treat them like a queen meanwhile they treat him like a slave, shouldn't it be reciprocal?
The lady that made that post on nairaland must have been really shocked for her to have brought the issue to a public forum, she probably thought the young man is going to keep calling and continue chasing her even when she's taking him for granted, he obviously has too much respect for himself to not play by her mind games, and I believe that's what any man with high self-esteem should do in such situation.
Thanks for reading πππ

Why is she shocked, she's receiving a dose of the treatment she dished out when she was in her prime. This is onw of the major reasons why I'm still single till date. Like I don't have the strength to be chasing anybody's daughter around, or try to convince anybody to love you in return. That's bullsh!t. I let it flow naturally, if it ain't working, then so be it. By the way, I love nairaland so muchπ. A very interesting faceless forum.
