General

I'd like to say that I'm a real man, but I am in fact an ethereal being who lacks gender.

You may be confusing being real with having desirable characteristics.

Real men don't play games. They show genuine interest, and expect reciprocation if the feeling is mutual. This goes for any type of relationship.

In my single days I did not tolerate women who played "hard to get" or any other games. I was also not a "player" and had no use for that lifestyle.
