Exactly.Many women are too keen to create a false impression.Look at them,everything about them is fake-hair,nails,eyelids,lips,e.t.c Grin Grin

 Grin Grin the fake hair is the one that gets to me the most. Add to that fake airs.
The fake accessories can attract a man, only the inner character keeps him.

4Play, even when we pick the ones worthy of our time, the sore losers still go around claiming "yea well she wasnt worth it anyway" so make I hear word.

That one is in our "manual" anyway.Its a core part of our emotional "shock absorber" after rejection.  Grin

Obviously,some people take it too far by broadcasting "she wasn't worth it anyway" to the world or developing animus for the lady.  Grin

The point still stands though,many "winners" will discover that the girl wasn't all she was cracked up to be after she accepts.Its the cliche,"familiarity breeds contempt."

I doubt it, more often that not its the "rejected" woman's desperate attempt to convince herself.  Grin Grin
Frankly if a woman who was worth it rejects u (i admit it will happen to almost every guy out there), most men i know are humble enough to admit that the girl was just out of their league anyway.
Its different from the other scenario u describe.

At least you're willing to admit most men are guilty pof it unlike those in pitiful denial. It's pretty pathetic though don't you think?  Cheesy

As for your last comment, I see what you mean so don't you think that so such things wont happen more often, guys would have the common sense to try to understand the person they are "chasing", be friends first, get to know the person befpore THEN after they realize on their own said girl is "worthy of their hearts" they go on with the "chase", wouldnt that make more sense? Instead of wasting time on someone that just might not be your match in the end?

all this is preaching. Perhaps that "be friends first" scenario worked in the 80s . . . . today there is no time to attempt to be friends first when you know that u're not the only one doing the "chasing". In a world where its who gets there first that wins, no one wants to sit down waiting for the "Friends" phase.

Did that several times in college and had empty hands to show for it.

So it's better to go off chasing someone that supposedly ends up "not being worth it" at the end of the day?

Better to be empty handed than mismatched and miserable.

Never mind those,the thing I found is that because of the way gender relationships are,many women hold an exaggerated impression of their "worth".

Everyday,they are told by men,that they are "all that." At a certain point,many start to believe this(usually in their 20s).The problem is this same "pitch" is sold by men to pretty much every young woman.Many of these women do know that men do this to young women in general,problem is,at some point they start to believe that their own case is unique.Of course,they want to believe this and faced with the inevitable deluge of courting men,they cave in and start to believe a lot of what they are told.

4Play no be your kind that cae up with the stupid concept of calling women "queens" and they too go around screaming "treat my like a queen!", a phrase I loathe very much actually.

so if women go around thinking they are all that and  bag of Doritos esp those that really are not, blame yourselves for telling them that stuff and stop complaining at the end of it.

Queens ko, Brooklyn ni.

That is the ideal way to conduct things.I think many of us are simply impatient,probably more driven by sex than we will admit to ourselves.When the girl turns us down,we resort to our innate defence mechanism.

If you don't try how do u know if she was worth it or not in the end? The empty handed phase comes out as a learning experience, now more than ever you have a better idea of what u actually don't want.

See this is why I usually prefer reading your comments on stuff like this. You usually saying it like it is even if it makes guys kind of look "bad"

Glad you agree that it's the ideal way to establish some sort of friendship first and good to know you are aware that most men are impatient, therefore they should just blame themselves in the end if the person they chased without barely knowing ends up being someone totally wrong for them. Relationships that usually last are the ones where the two were close friends from the beginning, not when they guy just lusts after he person 2 mins after seeing the girl.

Lol blame 2Face jare, na him start that madness with his bloody African Queen, now we'll never hear the end of "treat me like a Queen" bullshit. Makes me sick.
I personally prefer "treat me how you'd loved to be treat or how you'd treat someone dear to you". Simple.
