I remember a line in it (really the only part of the book I remember as I sped read it the day before ) about how all women, pretty, old, ugly, etc want men to desire them, interest or not. My 17 year old self recognized the truth in the statement. I keep meaning to go back and read the book for the quote. Because of it I would like to think I try to stop that womanly need to want the attention of any male in a 10 foot radius, even if I really don't want the attention. Seriously genetically ingrained we can't help it. It's not a mind game, it's a part of evolution, it's involuntary. If it helps... At that moment they really may believe they want your attention.

As far as the mind games go... yeah I don't get it either. I think it's because they culturally don't take the initiative, but they usually make themselves available before we do. So I think even before they decide if they are even interested they want to get our attention as a way of keeping their pool open. Kind of like when we get two or three numbers in a week even though we can only use one or two for the weekend. That or they just like the attention in a leechy ego-boost kind of way. That or they're all just really evil and insane. As long as you’re worried about grammatical correctness, “women” shouldn’t be spelled “woman” in the third paragraph.
