>Yes, every woman plays headgames.

[Edited out a laundry list things women do to make men miserable]

I was flipping the dial on the tv the other day and saw a few minutes of an
infomercial.  It was pushing a bunch of videotapes on how to have a
successful relationship/marriage.  One of the basic ideas went like this. 
"A man feels about the relationship the way he feels about HIMSELF in the
relationship.  I.e. if he feels good about himself, then he feels in love
and happy with the woman he's with.  If he feels poorly about himself, the
relationship sours."  They went on to give an example of a man who was
married to a great woman but was having an affair anyway.  The husband
admitted that his wife was a great person but he didn't feel good in that
relationship.  He felt like a king when he was hang around his mistress.

I'm not endorsing or advocating that thesis, but I thought I'd throw it out
and see what other people have to say about the subject.  I do agree to the
extant that self-hapiness is a big ingredient.  Who wants to stick around in
a relationship if he (or she) is miserable?  That's one of the reasons I
disagree with the "headgames" theory--or at least the idea that women are
out to make men miserable; it's not in their best interest to do so, no more
than it is for men to make their gf's and wives miserable.
