Mars and Venus Dating. Game Vs Anti-Game and the Trace Buster

Posted on | July 13, 2008 | No Comments

I miss the days when a guy could be a guy, a girl could be a girl and they could both go out on a date with any hidden agendas. Those days are long gone.

Nowadays, quite a few women are onto a man who is playing games. But wait- it doesn’t stop there. The girl starts to play games with the guy now.

I’ve literally had a few conversations with women who sit there and try to outwit another guy who is apparently playing games on the girl. It becomes a chess match where both parties are trying to see who is more cunning and can gain the upper hand. There’s too much pride and the ego is too strong for both guy and girl and thus “The Game vs Anti-Game” game starts.

Here is how it usually starts;

The guy is using some particular technique to attract the girl or increase his chances of her being receptive to his come-ons. Unfortunately for the guy, the girl realizes the guy has some “game” so she develops an anti-game for his game. Now if the guy has been around the block, he picks up on this and realizes he has to be more methodical about it and develops an anti anti-game for her anti-game. It just doesn’t stop. And the back and forth just continues until there’s no end and both wind up in a lose-lose situation. Game over…for both.

Watching this play out reminds of a scene from the movie, The Big Hit, starring Lou Diamond Phillips and Mark Wahlberg. There’s a scene where Phillips wants one of his guys to develop a trace buster to prevent them from being traced when making a call. And then they also have to create a trace buster that will bust the trace buster which, appropriately enough, is called a trace-buster buster. Watch the Youtube clip from the trace-buster scene below. Hilarious.
