Women who play hard to get in hopes of attracting a potential mate. Why? Why they do this??

If she's playing hard to get the guy already likes her. He's already shown interest in her and she's snubbed him. It's fucking asinine to play hard to get. So why do some women do this? Here's what I think.

1. She misunderstands the principal of least interest and she's projecting. She knows she's more attracted when men aren't too interested in her, but she don't understand how to utilize this in a way that actually leads to getting what she wants.

2. She's trying to live out a fantasy of being pursued. She's hoping he'll keep at it because it makes her feel desirable and that gets her off. And they'd rather get off to being pursued than actually have a relationship with the guy.

3. It's female nature because women are terrible.
