What does "No Games" mean to you, when you see it in a personals ad?

[raccoon]

I know they are referring to the games people play with each other, but more SPECIFICALLY?

1. I always think they mean no crosswords

and then I remember why I opened the paper in the first place.

2. If they don't want to play Scrabble or Trivial Pursuit, it's their loss.

3. No endless emails, phone calls, etc and then you never meet

7. that is the way I would take it....

all those tricks married people play to get their jollies....

[Dangerously Amused]

12. Testify. Oh but wait, they're...

"...separated."


Which means she's at work right now.



:mad:

16. have you been reading some of the other posts in this thread?

I admit there are more original ways to state it...but the fact remains that the players are out there...I should post my last profile...thank god I met the smoker and the only thing he lied about was "trying to quit" which I now know means "smokes like a freight train" :P

17. Yep. Separated = married. nt

4. "Pass"

Maybe it's just me. I've been married for a long time. If I was looking at something like that, though, I'd wonder about the writer.

IMHO, YMMV.

6. I figured they meant no reindeer games

like poor Rudolph wasn't allowed to play.

[Deja Q]

8. Straightforwardness, being upfront, and honesty

And when you let them know and they don't freak out and run away - it's so much the better.

Games aren't real and they dilute the human experience. It's as simple as that.

9. Run!! That's probably Mark Foley's ad

:scared:

[skygazer]

10. It means the person writing it is an idiot

Because the people who play stupid mind games rarely realize they're doing it.

[RetroLounge]

11. Does anyone ever post wanting Games?

:shrug:

13. Means i gotta leave the gimp suit in the closet.

[LaraMN]

14. No naked Twister?

But who would make that kind of an unreasonable demand?!

[PVnRT]

15. In reality

it means that the poster will happily go along with the games because they are afraid of rejection and lonliness, then will bitch about it later when those games are played, yet again, and then the cycle will continue.
