if someone plays games, is taht a sign of immaturity? does that go away as one matures?

Question

in myother quesiton isay how much i cannot stand playing games.
i am very direct with guys i like and i am not afrad to tell someone i had a great time and pretty mcuh i just do not play mindgames or those dating games.....

i was wondering though, should i anticipate to keep meeting people who like playing games as i get older?
does this go away as people get more mature or does it persist?
i'd like to think that the more mature you get the less you waste time with this kind of thing, but i wouldn't know.

can someone tell me, someone with wisdom perhaps, whthere i should start getting in the habit of playing games or if ipeople don't do it anymore

are mindgames/game-playing a sign of immaturity ? or are they mutually exclusive??

Answer 1

No, playing games is not a sign of immaturity, teasing those who plays IS a sign of immaturity.

Maybe the older you go, the more responsibilites you have thereby diminishing the yearn for playing. If you choose play rather than work than it is a sign of immaturity: though it is not on the act of playing but rather on the CHOICE of playing.

Answer 2

There are people that are game players, I would say it is primarily men. Women actually think men listen and care, few do. A great percentage of men just try to manage women to get what they want. Once they get it, money, sex or whatever they are on to the next person it play them.

If they outgrow it, it is usually to late for anyone to care. Any trust there ever was is gone.

Do not get into the habit of playing games. They are NOT honest and reputable people. Be an honorable and upright person in life. Few honorable people look back and wish they had been other wise.

FOLLOW YOUR GUT INSTINCT. Our instinct is in us for a reason. Once someone shows you what they are, BELIEVE IT. Some times it is good but many times it is bad.

If you are female, NEVER believe you can change a man. They are what they are, they show us and tell us up front. But we have that nurturing spirit that actually makes us think we can change someone. WE CANNOT CHANGE ANYONE BUT OURSELVES.

So If someone shows you they are a skunk, breathe deeply, you will notice it. If they show you a true good side, they might be worth pursuing. GOOD LUCK..

Answer 3

I do think that playing mind games is a sign of immaturity, however, some people continue to play them even after they become adults. I think it is the people who are commitment phobic and not really comfortable even with themselves to be honest and open. I agree with you that playing games in a relationship is a waste of time. If you like each other, just say so and act like it instead of playing hard to get or the chase games. I do hope that most people eventually grow up and give up the game playing, but there are always those who just can't seem to be straight forward in anything they do.

Answer 4

In a sense, even being honest and direct is playing the "sincere game". We all come to every relationship with insecurities, uncertainties, and wounds from past relationships. When you feel you're not playing games with someone else, it's probably that you're both playing by the same rules. What's important is that you don't compromise yourself in relationships. To almost quote Shakespere, if you're true to yourself, you won't be phony to others.

Answer 5

Edit: Well, the person below me pretty much hit the nail on the head. My answer sounds stupid in comparison. She's right, though. Game-playing, although it exists, really is kind of stupid and shouldn't need to be done.
