Mind Games?

[Cale]

Alright, this started out as a joke, but I think I really would like
to understand this...tell me what you think.

My friend and I spend time occasionally playing a game of reading the
personal ads and making up ideas on what kind of person placed the ad,
what the ad *really* means, etc. It's a funny game, and we enjoy it.

However, I've been noticing a trend in the ads, and I don't know what
it means. Lots and lots of the ads from men say they want a woman who
"doesn't play mind games." What do you think this means? I might want
to learn how to play mind games!

Let me know what you think!

I'm not going to touch this question with a ten foot pole.
