You want to talk to someone and they don't answer your phone calls.

You want to text someone and they take hours to respond.

You want someone's attention and they ignore you.

You are talking to someone and they tune you out.

You want sex but your partner refuses to give it.

Your partner refuses to talk to you.

Withholding affection occurs when you really want something until it starts to hurt not to have it and your partner holds it back from you. This can be a game that can break someone down. It can literally make someone desperate for affection. I do not recommend this as a game tactic because it can ruin someone's self-confidence and esteem, but it creates power attraction. The other person just can't deal with the suspense.

This is particularly a useful tactic for a flirt. She gives you her attention. She gets you fired up then. YOu expect to hear from her soon and to get more affection, but then you hear from her much later and she gives you very little affection. Then its just a continuous cycle of you feeling like shit all the time.

#1 This can kill your confidence

#2 This can make you believe you should bow down to every women and put her on a pedestal.

This is not fair. This not fair. This is not how she would want to be treated, why does she treat you this way? Why does this happen? You have no leverage. She has what you want. You don't have what she wants so much. Its humiliating and makes you feel helpless. At this point some men resort to verbal abuse and even physical abuse, other men resort to begging and crying, other men resort to trying really hard and being desperate.

Agreed. You can really fuck with people doing this. However, as time passes, the other person will eventually move on. So if you are going to do this, you have to calibrate precisely... and know if your partner is bluff when she is "moving on".

If you sense that she is really about to move on, give her attention to reel her in. Once you notice you got her, fall back.

You want what you can't have. Male or female.

If you're a power freak, and love having power over other people, DO IT! Would not recommend it for a healthy relationship, however.

This is a very very bad tactic for a relationship. Here is why?

If you have a girl who has healthy self-esteem and you do it to her a few times she will dump you like a sack of shit because she will not tolerate you treating her like crap.

A girl did this to me. I was into her. I wanted more affection. She was acting cold, took sometimes days to respond etc. After 2 weeks I got fed up and told her that she can't treat me like this and dumped her. Of course she tried to get me back but I was resenting her so good luck with that.

Only works on mentally damaged insecure people who don't have respect for themselves.

It works to some degree in the very initial phase of the relationship but even then it's not necessary.

Good story bro.

What girl wrote this crap? Wanting or needing affection, attention, or reassurance, especially to an excessive degree?

It's just plain neediness. Neediness is a turn-off to most people.

It's not a tactic, it's an affliction.

Go read some of the other threads OP started. Its like he is copying and pasting from Cosmo.

Your mom posted it for me.

She probably wrote the original thread.

Wait a second. Dream, you must be a woman.....

Shit how did nobody figure this out yet? It makes so much sense.

Which girl are you in the picture?

Busted you hussy. You must be on some feminine agenda to propagate beta behavior in the community. Well, you better get a new login or go to another forum because I'm pullin back the fucking curtain on your ass woman.
