Women always say, "I don't want to play games" but if men were abandon all the rules that we deem necessary in order to have a successful dating experience here is what would happen.

-We would try to have sex with you on the first date.
-We would take you to movies like "The Expendables" starring Stallone, Schwarzenegger, and Jet Li not the Notebook.
-Dinner might not mean delivery but it is DiGiorno
-We wont wait a week to call you anymore but be prepared to help me choose between Burger King or Chinese for dinner, because I can't decide...
-You will experience the Dutch Oven sooner.


Continue the list...

Would that also mean women could have an honest conversation with a man without him running scared off into the hills?

And you would find out that a fair few women like those things. O well, your loss.

Who knows. I just know I would rather put a bullet in my head that watch the notebook so I figured someone should point out to the OP that he was painting with broad strokes.

You're not getting any on the first date

Sylvester Stallone is still making "movies"?
-Dinner might not mean delivery but it is DiGiorno
You'll be eating alone
-We wont wait a week to call you anymore but be prepared to help me choose between Burger King or Chinese for dinner, because I can't decide...
Be prepared to help me choose between kicking you out the front door or the back door
-You will experience the Dutch Oven sooner.
You will experience my front porch sooner

You're confusing "games" with kindness and courtesy.

You know, I enjoy a good dose of cynicism myself but the jaded feeling being expressed toward the opposite gender on the boards lately is a bit much. Really.

How about instead of thinking about all the ways we could be hateful to one another, we try actually being genuinely interested, considerate, and kind?

Here's the thing about games: there's always a winner and a loser. Is that really what you want?
