Well, my theory comes from experience of being played by women.
It seems that every woman that I have ever fawned over, treated like a queen, fell at her feet and followed her like a puppy, showering her with gifts and telling her how wonderful she was wanted nothing to do with me. They knew I was at their beckon call and the more they resisted, the harder I tried.
In the same light, every woman that I really didn’t care for and showed little interest in was relentlessly trying to get my attention. Not that there were alot of those....and I am no prince...but still. I think that is just human nature.
I couldn’t say. I’ve been married for almost 20 years to the only guy who ever showed a serious interest in me ... and eight children proves that we know *serious* from just series :-).
