Going to do an experiment on treating guys mean...

[help-me-please]

To test the hypothesis that it keeps them keen! Sick of my girl mates complaining that the men they like disregard them and treat them
Mean! I aim to set up dates with men & treat them 'mean' to generally see how many stay interested in comparison to dates I go on and act interested & keen! I do not care if people say this is not ethical as it's merely setting an investigation to test my given hypothesis. I will report back (in few months) once I have had my dates & results. I ask, any tips on acting not interested/treating mean, without being actually harsh mean in a hurtful way!

Let us know how you get on, sounds bizarre.

[help-me-please]

I sure will. I want to see if it works. People are quick to say it does or doesn't, I want to see for myself if it does or not. X

As Confucius might have said - 'People who play with fire should invest in a box of extra long matches'.
However, he did say - 'Respect yourself and others will respect you'.

This should really be posted in science. Especially considering the great thought process that has clearly gone on behind the scenes.

How old are you?

To do this and succeed, you have to be either: Extremely gorgeous, or have more money than sense, or your dad will have to own a brewery/football club.
Now, who am I to say that you're not drop dead gorgeous, but I feel if you were, then you wouldn't be doing this experiment. An hint that you are 'disinterested or mean' on the first date will result in you not getting a second date!
I think it's a matter of what your mates think is mean, and how blokes think.
I see girls talking to their menfolk like they do their girlfriends, and believe me, men really aren't interested in your new acrylic nails (not unless they're rakng down his back during the throes of ecstacy) or your new hair do - (unless you look like you've just beamed down from planet weirdo) men like their girls to look nice, smell nice and let them watch/go to the footy - or out with their mates from time to time (as you can the same with yours) without the 20 questions and the cross-examination after....here endeth the first lesson!

This poster was on asking questions about her maths homework earlier.........so I shouldn't expend too much energy on formulating a sensible answer.

I'd follow ttfn's advise on this one.

Respect yourself and fully expect others to respect you, and no one will treat you mean, at least not twice.

i think your hypotesis will read, "got no male friends now. treated mean myself"

I've usually given a woman one or two chances if they have been "mean" as you put it. After that, I just walk away. I like people to treat me how I treat them. This could backfire if you meet someone you really want to be with. Also if you see quite a few local men, word could soon get around about you being a little difficult and not worth the effort.

Pity the OP aint got nothing else better to do.

As a bloke if in the past a woman treated me mean I called her a taxi.
