The reason this argument has never impressed me very much is that I am
not interested in women who want to play this kind of head game with
me.  I tend to like people who are reasonably honest, so it is hard for
me to comprehend why I ought to pursue any person who asks me not to.
Either they really *don't* want to talk to me, go out with me, or
whatever, or they *do* but don't want to let me know, in which case I
don't want to talk to them, go out with them, or whatever.  If a person
wants to play head games, s/he can find somebody else to play them
with, and live a spiritually impoverished life without me :-).
