I agree.  It's a bunch of garbage.  There are guys out there who are more 
interested in the chase than the particular woman.  They will take the 
bait.  But they will continue to chase.

On the other hand there are others of us who are looking for real 
relationships.  We refuse to play games, and do not chase after anyone.

For me, I won't deal with a woman who plays games like that.  If I get 
too many turn-downs (two in a row or three out of five invitations), I 
won't ask her out again.  (Unless she has a damn good reason and in other 
ways shows that she is very interested.)  

If I feel someone has to be convinced that I am worth her time, it's not 
worth my time.
