Your comment is exactly what I’m thinking, Lauri.

Most women I know say “no” for the simple reason that they are NOT interested. I have also never played “hard to get” in my life.

A man once asked me to visit him and sleep over at his house. I simply said “no” because we haven’t even gone on an official date yet and I felt uncomfortable. It was too soon for that. To soothe his ego, he said and I quote: “I don’t have time for your games.”

The quickest way a man can instantly repulse a woman and anyone for that matter — being hasty, egotistical, and disrespectful of people’s boundaries. To me, this speaks volumes. My boundaries do not attract assholes. It saves me from potentially harmful and self-centered behaviour.
