Treat ‘em mean, keep ‘em keen

Just read a Reddit price about women binning guys that were ‘too nice’. Made me think of the old treat them mean keep them keen saying.

Thinking back to my teens and twenties, a lot of girls around my area - on the edge of friendship groups and so on - did tend to date guys that treated them pretty badly. In many cases it didn’t need well for them or their / Children’s lives unfortunately.

How much truth is there to the treat ‘em mean, keep ‘em keen adage?

Good morning

I enjoy a little bit of a chase but if they go too far in the 'treat em mean, keep them keen' then I would move on. I'm not one for playing mind games.

Some women *cough Kylie cough* do have a soft spot for the eternal fuck/bad boy.

I don't understand why though. And I can't say I'm interested in it in the slightest. I'd much rather spend time with someone who is genuinely nice, without a hot/cold approach and I know exactly what's going on. I'm too much of an overthinker to enjoy headfucks.

A lot of replies seem to follow the lines “not into that”

Experience has taught me that what someone says and what someone does are very different

In my experience, the majority of women absolutely fall for the treat them mean keep them keen attitude because it says a lot of positive things about the man in questions social standing and confidence

As long as it's confidence and not arrogance. Many people confuse the two.

I remember a lass I was very keen on who said she didn’t date “good guys”… I was one of the “good guys”… yup she did “treat ‘em mean, keep ‘em keen”… perversely it does work… but it don’t mean it’s right! Then again guys do it too…

I’ve been accused of being just too nice sometimes. I’ve thought about trying to be a bit meaner, but then decided, nope I like being a nice guy. I don’t like hurting people so why give myself the perceived guilt?

It’s getting the balance right. If a man treats me right in life, he can be very mean in the bedroom . This is the kind of bad boy for me.

I don’t have anything to do with men that play games, or who are unkind, I like authentic, confident people.

I genuinely have no interest in men that want to play games.

It’s possible to be nice as well as confident. Lots of women have very poor boundaries and accept poor behaviour.

I have no time for bullshit and will cut anyone off who tries it.

This to a point, but I would say that most are looking for a Queen, (day-to-day) rather than a princess ..and one who is also a enchantress at night - I use this concept rather than the usual derogatory terms that are typically wheeled out on occasions such as this...

I agree some are looking for one queen. Some are also wanting to have lots of fun with a variety of women and treat them as they are all special (hence princess label) so that none of their partners feel like just a number, they are all equally valued

There's one section of the population that like to abide by the "treat them mean to keep then keen" motto. Another section that doesn't. I belong to the section that doesn't.

If you want to be treatedbor treat people like shit go right ahead though.

Part of it is physical attraction. Those that we (all of us) find physically attractive are given a bit more allowance to get away with some shit that somebody we find less attractive would get halted before they even thought of doing it.

There are limits of course, and it differs for each person. Different levels of attraction and different levels of disrespect/treat em mean.

Esentially we put up with certain things, or overlook them if it involves something we want.

No truth in it what so ever I don't think.

What about the women that sometimes want a "Bad Boy/Man" to also use for their own pleasure as and when they want it?

Who can then happily switch to a "nice" guy when that's the mood that takes them at that time?

Life would be very boring if we didn't all have an experience of the two very different versions at some point.

Women can play the men just as well as they do to us sometimes.

All the labels though can firmly stay at the door, I wouldn't want to be treated like someone's Queen or Princess, Cheeky Bitch works better for me

Stopped being so tolerant, gained some self respect & not too lovey dovey & guess what table started to turn.

The less attention I gave the more the girls I liked actually started showing interest. Humans are complicated that's for sure

That's because the type of woman you're attracted to thrive on that sort of treatment. It genuinely is a self fulfilling prophecy.

If a guy pays me little or no attention of does that thing of waiting a set number of days between contact I just walk. I know it makes some women keener because they see it as some sort of challenge to gain his attention. Nah, sod that, I've got a life to live and things to do.

I've no interest in people who have the treat them mean attitude.But I also have no interest in guys who are too nice and won't speak up if something is annoying them or thinks all women are delicate little things that can do no wrong,that's complete bullshite as well.

I like men who are confident enough in themselves that they can speak up when they want to but aren't arrogant or degrading to others. One who won't just agree with me all the time but who will say what he thinks even if he thinks I'm wrong about something. A guy who will open a door for me and spank my ass as I walk past. Just someone I get along with and we can have a laugh with each other and know there are no games being played either.

Depends what you mean by nice.

I’m a bit odd in that I don’t like it when men are too needy, clingy, lovey dovey. I like men who are a bit complicated, but not too complicated. I like to know where I stand, but I don’t want to be smothered.

Being overly keen puts me right off. I like a bit of coolness. But still knowing they are interested and want me.

Nice guys tend to struggle with this. They go overboard. And whilst that is perfect for a lot of women, it’s not for me.

But then I don’t like the treat them mean types either. They don’t get far with me because I push back.

I guess I’m somewhere in the middle

I’m a bit odd in that I don’t like it when men are too needy, clingy, lovey dovey. I like men who are a bit complicated, but not too complicated. I like to know where I stand, but I don’t want to be smothered.

Being overly keen puts me right off. I like a bit of coolness. But still knowing they are interested and want me.

Nice guys tend to struggle with this. They go overboard. And whilst that is perfect for a lot of women, it’s not for me.

But then I don’t like the treat them mean types either. They don’t get far with me because I push back.

I guess I’m somewhere in the middle "

Most are, I suspect, but who we are and what we like doesn't always dawn fully on us, until later on in life.

This is also another good example of why not everyone is for everyone.

Not true for me

Any sign of shadiness, they'd be gone.

Unfortunately I'm one of the too nice guys, I refuse to change though and I'm also very physically demanding and overly affectionate in a relationship which is why I won't get into a relationship again because it's not appreciated

In the psychological research that has looked at this it has been found that treating them mean increases levels of wanting but decreases ratings of liking. It was concluded that it’s a risky strategy and when used with a person who has no prior investment, will totally put them off

My partner has always been nice, keen, and consistent. It has been less of a rollercoaster and on occasion I’ve noticed

less of the ‘highs’ that I’ve had with other guys but ultimately I value feeling secure with him

Treat em mean, keep em keen.

Hmmmm.

The ole push you pull you bollocks. I'll tell you who it attracts, who it works on. Those who've had childhoods containing emotional turmoil and confusion and falling back into familiar territory subconsciously.

From the "mean" side, I think it's a predatory evil game to play.

I like confident people who know what they want, but are respectful and kind... I find 'nice' is generally cloying and expects something from me that i can't give
