If they know if it will make it easier to get you, yes.

It all revolve around getting attention. People should not really put too much emphasis on the "methods" used. Like in the other thread it was said that some HPDs are not even "sexual" at all, they just use other ways to get the same thing as other HPDs.

of course they play hard to get its all part of the show...

Postby Musician924 » Tue Feb 12, 2008 3:15 pm

Hell yes they do play hard to get...but it's good fun if you know how to manage it.

After meeting mine at the beach for several weeks, I thought hell, go for the kiss. I did! She pulled back coyly, and said, "you know i have a boyfriend so let's end this right here". I said "OK, it's been nice and cute holding hands at the beach and dreaming a bit and what not, but agreed best to stop now then under the circumstances". I think my response threw her, as in an instant i had turned the page, was off to my car and driving home. The next morning by 11:30 she was up in my office all lycra t-shirt, heaving breasts and tomato red faces, her face (and the rest 5 inches from mine telling me how she "thought about me all night", "had to continue to see me to see what happens", "had these feelings she did not understand" "was sorry to be full of paradoxes and ambiguity" and bla, bla, bla, bla! What a load of rollocks! I fell for it then (oh yes, my first; and only; girlfriend with enough HPD charactersitics to deserve an Oscar ... !) I would crack up laughing today LOL!....Playing hard to get is all part of the show, the drama and attention seeking :lol:

I think the actions of the F/M HPD are wrong simply that.
Think of all the women and men they hurt the lives they ruin
if only short term. There is no law against it. While at the same
time a person can get five years in prison for dealing drugs.
I know it is not the same but in my opinion it should be.

I think HPDs are mostly female. I think with sex and the city,
paris hilton the list goes on ... the western world is making more
acceptable for women to mis-use their sexuality - maybe men had
it coming?

It reminds me of the movie species - when an alien comes to earth and takes human form. It chooses the form of a young blonde beauty. Asked why not take the form of a man - are women not the weaker sex??? BIG LAUGH ENSUES

Not anymore.

I am not a big fan of religion on any level be it muslims or catholicS
one thing could be said though is that - it did keep a check on male
female realtionships strenghtened the idea of family and kept this type of behaviour at the very least undesiralbe in society.
But religion is a blunt tool and out of date here.

Im not judging but the next few decades will be interesting.
We may even have a female president - and if you think the
world will be a more peaceful place because of this.
Remember Maggie Tatcher? UK prime minister.

Start digging bunkers everyone.

Margaret Thatcher:

Falklands War, My bunker was very shallow like your post. You don't have to dig very deep to understand your point.

Your anger in the first part is understandable to me. They suck very much, pun intended.
and how was your day?

Then again they are the easiest "lay" you'll ever find...

Not necessarily the easiest lay...control beats sex!

Postby Musician924 » Tue Feb 19, 2008 10:22 am

Hi CCUMM:
I am not sure i agree with you. My X girlfriend had this young guy running after her when she lived in Munich. They went out together, travelled together, lay on the same bed, cuddled, kissed and what not....He loved her, but he did not get what he wanted, I saw his letters to her to prove that. She NEVER slept with him, and constantly pushed back the date to do so (so it never happened). The young man in question was 6 foot 5, sporty and a real good looking guy, very nice and well educated too (now on a humanitarian mission with the red cross in Africa...he left broken hearted!~). Now why did she not sleep with him? Justly, because he loved her, and was desperate for the same back from her. There was no challenge, he was a walk over, great looking but not exciting according to her perverted definition of excitement. She did sleep with a "friend" after playing tennis. They just "felt like it" apparently. Paradoxes! A control thing in my opinion...her men "puppets on a string" kind of thing.

When she and i first started seeing each other, she showed me lots of letters and photographs from her past, including ones about the young man mentionned above. I questionned her on why she had been so hard on him, but her answers were superficial "none answers" so to speak. I had many pieces of the puzzle in my hands well in advance of our relationship, but my lack of experience with Histrionic personalities did not allow me to understand what was going to happen (until it had happened). She offered herself to me pretty fast sexually, I think because I was not an easy catch, and of course she wanted to get me into her web for the rest. I was perceived as someone "exciting" because i was undergoing separation with my wife, and she wanted to finish the job (or win as she put it herself later on!) so to speak (i say this with hindsight)

So all that to say, that all HPD's are not necessarily an easy lay. In my opinion they like to control whom their "lays" are and this often depends upon the circumstances, that can cover a wide spectrum from the romantic, the sadistic, the challenging, the filthy, the perverted...

My ex also showed me many photographs of previous partners and
offered various explanations as to why it did not work out. (very vague). The second time I was at their home I was shown divorce papers.

Photos were almost like trophies.

I am sure many of the letters I have sent are shown to current partners as well as the our photographs.

I am still in love with my hpd. I am trying hard to recover.
I have to accept some people can be that bad to others.

I think they must have a fault where by they can justify these actions to themselves. They feel no empathy.

Are you sure that you are in love...?

Postby Musician924 » Tue Feb 19, 2008 2:49 pm

Hello Justme:
This person probably left a huge gap in your life by not living upto your expectations through their false promises. These people have a lot of charisma and their fragile side tends to make us want to protect them and put them on a pedestal. My guess is that once you get over the gap this person left, you shall discover that you were not in love, you were in an illusion of love. I wish you well.
