Mind Games Women Play With Men
by Joseph Matthews
Question From A Reader:
Hi there,
I have a weird, thought provoking story I'd like to share. And still don't understand. I met
this girl around my age (20's range) that worked at the same club I often went to. I Had
actually went to highschool with her, so we knew each other's names and faces. We've
never dated let alone had a conversation.
Until one night, that is. . . .
One night I walked in. The club was dead, maybe only 2 people on the VLT machines.
She was sitting at a table reading a book when I walked in. Casually, and calmly as if
we've known each other forever. She said hi and asked how I been, and I also did the
same.
I sat at the bar and she got me a drink. And then she sat right next to me (which surprised
me a lot) and we engaged in conversations (about anything, really) until she had to close
the club up. I made her laugh the whole night, and we had some deep conversations about
some subjects, and she hadn't moved from her seat close beside me until it was time to
go.
From talking to her freely (and not many do so because she's beautiful) and also from the
drinks I had, I was feeling a 100% relaxed with her. So, I asked her out. First I asked her
if she was single, and she bluntly told me 'yes'. Then I was like "you really don't have a
boyfriend?" she looked confused and told me 'no, no I don't.'
We exchanged phone numbers and parted just as casually as we began our all night
conversations. As soon as I walked in, we just clicked!!!
I tried calling her two days later, but nobody picked up. I'd call once a day---for about 3
days--- but nobody ever picked up. So I figured she was just busy.
BIG INFO!
I had stopped going to that club for about three weeks after that. I had a Fake-Number
feeling, and didn't want to face it. But finally I went back and she was working. And it
was like nothing had ever happened. As soon as she noticed me she hollered my name in
greeting starting with: "Hey!". And all that night she was very polite and very social---not
only to me, but anyone who she had contact with. She was just happier more than usual,
which struck me as strange.

We didn't talk about what had happened between us, or even about phone calls or
anything---she never asked, therefore I never told. We were back to that safe Bar Tender
and Customer fine-line, so I didn't feel bad...I actually felt comfortable around her, yet
again. And the same went with her. And when I finally got up and went for the door she
hollered over wishing me a good night.
About a week later, I went back (this time with a buddy). He's very out spoken---not shy
at all and started a conversation with her just after 5 minutes of being there. He got into a
conversation about relationships with her---to that she actually told him the reason why
she was single was because she wasn't ready for anything serious!!!!
We didn't stay long, and headed out to another club.
The weeks that followed, we're strange. One night she was playing pool with some guy
that came in now and then. As soon as I sat down at the bar she came to me and asked me
if I'd like a game. I said "sure" so we played a couple games, and then I headed back to
my seat. We didn't talk at all, but we played pool, at least.
Another time I was there, she was off-duty that night and came in for a drink. As soon as
she saw me she sat right beside me, but at first didn't say much. And then I started a
conversation with her because I had noticed her rings (her hands were covered with
them--I found it pretty cool).
There was a guy already there at the bar sitting at the far end, and as she sat talking to me
he would try getting her attention by conversing with her. But she'd hardly ever look his
way, and soon ignored him completely to keep talking with me.
After a while, I left the club for a few minutes, and when I returned, and she saw me, she
came right up to me with a big smile and a gleam in her eyes and wanted to talk more. So
we did. But I didn't stay long, and soon our conversation had ended, but we wished each
other well.
The last time I saw her, she was working the bar. We greeted each other, and I took my
drink to the back where the VLT's were where I conversed with a family member I knew
would be there.
The girl constantly came around me, serving drinks in the "green-room' where a poker
game was going on, right next to us. And just about everytime she came around, she'd
whisper my name as she went, or would gently touch my lower back with her finger---or
gently squeeze my shoulder with her hand.
I found it very odd, and so the most I'd gave was a friendly 'hey' and a smile.
And now I often wondered---if she really was interested in me, but didn't want to rush
things, why didn't she just tell me that???? Than just give me a number that was most

likely fake? I've never understood that.
She doesn't work there anymore, and does not come in at all. The last time I've seen her
was that very night she had placed her tender touches on me. And left me wondering ever
since...
I guess the biggest wonder I have is -- was she really interested, or just playing with my
mind?
And maybe she really did give me the wrong number---but she still actually knows mine,
I presume, but has never ever called.
That's the story.
Left wondering,
Adam.

My Response:
Hi Adam,
Here is one thing you must understand about women:
They're emotional creatures.
Some women moreso than others.
So knowing that, don't try to apply logic to a woman's actions. It will just give you a
headache.
I don't think this particular woman was playing mind games with you. That's not to say
women don't do that type of thing, but in this instance, it seems like you were too much
of an insignificant factor in her life to make it worth her time.
Understand that most mind games women play are forms of tests they use to screen for
men they want to be with. In other words, if you fail their tests, they won't want to be
with you in a romantic way. If you pass, you're given a "stamp of approval" and they're
open to exploring relationships with you.
This can be a very frustrating thing to deal with, because how can you know if a woman
is testing you or not?
The short answer is, you can't.

The long answer is, you CAN, but it's going to take some work on your part.
The real trick to this is experience. The more experience you have with women, the more
you'll find that there are common tests women will administer to men. Once you have
enough experience, you'll be able to spot the tests when they come up and know how to
deal with them.
The other factor is knowing what kind of a woman you're dealing with.
See, there are different kinds of women out there, but you can fit them all into a certain
category of girl, all of whom have the same actions and behaviors.
This girl you speak of isn't the kind of woman who goes to church on Sundays and
dreams of settling down and having a family.
This girl you're talking about is what I like to call a STIMULATION JUNKIE.
Stimulation Junkies are women who are addicted to all things exciting and new. They
enjoy having a good time and being social. They go to concerts, clubs, bars... basically
anything that can give them their stimulus injection. They like (even crave) attention
from men. These types of girls often get jobs in stimulus rich environments to help satisfy
their craving.
For instance, your girl. She's a bartender. Female bartenders get asked for their number a
million times a night.
Here's a good tip: If you have to ask a bartender/waitress for her number, chances are
you'll never be able to get in touch with her again. But if they give you their number of
their own free will, THEN you know it's for real.
You were just another in the long line of guys who were trying to pick her up. It might
have been her correct number, but to a phone she never bothers to answer.
With a girl like this (stimulus junkie), it's best to try to push for the one night stand during
the first interaction. She's looking for something exciting, not a date. After your first
meeting, you pretty much blew your chances with her. These type of women don't wait
around. They have way too many options available to them.
This is a common mistake guys make. Too often, we think we have to take our time with
a woman, try to be "friends" first, make her feel safe and comfortable. And while that is
the case with certain girls, with others you have to move fast and furious and get them
into bed as soon as you can, or risk losing them forever.
Stimulus Junkies are in that category of woman. You have to move fast with them. Get
them to go home with you THE DAY YOU MEET THEM. If you can't do that, then
move on, because you won't get another chance. You might be able to make "friends"

with them, but you'll never get another chance to make them look at you in a romantic
way.
Had you gotten this girl to go home with you your first night talking to her, you might
have been able to have some form of relationship with her (though she most likely would
have cheated on you all the time or broke up with you quickly because she didn't want to
be tied down). The best you probably could have had with her was a "friends with
benefits" situation.
I'd recommend you not bother thinking about this girl anymore and focus your efforts on
a girl who's more geared towards what you want. As I always say, knowing what you
want saves a great deal of time and heartache when it comes to women.
If you are into women who are Stimulus Junkies, and that's the type of girl you want, then
you can get really good at learning what it takes to get that type of girl, and you'll also be
prepared for the consequences of getting her.
To learn more about what it takes to get the type of woman you want, be sure to read a
copy of my book, The Art Of Approaching. In it you'll find proven strategies that work
which will help you get the type of woman you've always wanted.
