This is a loaded question. As a woman I can say, not every woman plays mind games. There are some that do, and most reasons are: To feel superior, smarter, and to get the feeling of having more control than the man. If you come across a woman who attempts to play mind games...run fast! Because they're showing you that things aren't very serious. Now you will never get an EXACT reason on why mind games are played.
Some do.
Men try to test you and see how strong of a woman you are if he finds that your weak and he can play with your mind he will so dont let a man make you out of his puppet on strings.
Everyone plays mind games to some extent either to get the sort of attention they want or to make a particular impression yes men do whether they love or hate why they do this? probably just to see how much you love or hate him
They play mind games at 62 and not in their teenager years because their minds are only fully developed/matured in their late 50's onwards. (Women reach full maturity, in most cases by their mid 20's).
Because they can, and women are trained from birth to bow to men's wishes and needs.
absolutely all men play mind games to some degree, their sign doesnt seem to make a difference, its probably just your boyfriend more than most.
men play men's soccer and women play women's soccer.
Because men are stupid, They think that women are very easy. Some insecure men are total liars women should keep away from, not all men are totally the same.
cos we're all stupid and fall for them
Because it is.
Women in Ancient Greek were considered inferior to men and did not have the same rights. For that reason they were not allowed to participate in the Olympic games.
AnswerSometimes they do and sometimes it is because they are just plain mean and manipulative. Some men get an ego boost from playing mind games, especially with women. To me, that is a man with mental instability. It is disrespectful, hurtful, and abusive.
