Welcome to the awesome marriage podcast. I'm your co-host, Christina Dodson. This is an Ask

Dr. Kim segment where people submit their questions for Dr. Kim Kim, and he answers them.

Thanks for listening. Today on this segment of Ask Dr. Kim, the question that we have submitted is

why do women play games instead of telling us what they want.

Dr. Kim, what a great question and one that so many fellows out there are probably wondering

today and every day. Why do you think women do this, Dr. Kim? I have no idea. That's right. You are not a

woman. I am not a woman. So I want your input on that. I mean, I think women want play games for a lot of reasons.

They want us to be, they want to be pursued. They want to know that we care enough to pursue them.

The little game playing, we were talking before the podcast, how sometimes that starts really early in life when kids are little

and all those things play a part in it. But I think from a woman's perspective, why do women

have a tendency to do that? Yeah, definitely. I think you hit the nail on the head when you said

that we want to be known that we're loved. And so we want you just to take effort in that

and to be worthy of being figured out, basically. And so I think that's a big reason that women do

that. And we just want to know that you care. And we, I don't know, fairy tales and culture,

I mean, yeah, doesn't do a good job of this either. Because in the fairy tales, the Prince Charming always knows what to do and what to say,

and he acts more like a woman than a man in some ways with all his emotion and sensitivity

and knowing what to do. And so I think a lot of women think, if I tell my husband what I want

him to do, if I just outright say it it he doesn't really love me so but they still

want you to do the things to show them love and so instead they're playing games and doing

manipulating things to try to get you to show them that that you love them when really what they need

to do is just come out and say it but they're afraid to do that because they're afraid because one

they might be afraid of if I do tell him how I want to be loved and he doesn't do it, then he really doesn't love me.
