Default Games?

I have been writing to several guys for a few months, as most of you know, and something that the ones who have had an ad for awhile mention is that they get a lot of responses, but most girls just want to play (mind) games. They always tell me they can tell I am not that type. What types of (mind) games do women play with inmates? I can't imagine what you can do or what the gain would be in playing a (mind) game through snail mail with inmates. Anyone have some insight?

Yeah-I have had them say that to me too..I just kinda shrugged it off as a bit of something they write in all letters...but if there is something more to it I'd like to know too..

If you start writing to someone that's been down for years, with no chance of daylight, they just might share some of the letters with you. My one guy has, and honestly, I would rip someone's face off if they sent me some of those letters.

I think 75% write letters because they care and the other 25% are scarey.

Most just want to be in someone's life, and have an honest pen pal to share with.

QQ has a great approach....she includes the guys in her weekly activities...Whether it be stuck at a stoplight and things she finds funny, or what her kids are doing. She's real.

I guess I just can't imagine what would be the purpose of playing mind games with someone behind bars. Outside, people do for sex, money, power, prestige, acceptance, whatever the reason, but why take the time to send a letter full of mind games to someone who is "down and out" and just wants friends that care enough to write? I just don't get it.

That,s horrible..maybe something like they know the inmates are dependent on their letters,and can,t go anywhere,or maybe they blame them????????

I had this one guy, we wrote everyday, and he called me too. He was to be getting out this December, told me he loved me and was suppose to be moving in with me. Yeah, I'm Gay. I found another web site that he started a new ad looking for love. I called him on it, and I found out from him, that he put the other ad up, so that he could get donations.
Truth is, it was all a SCAM for money.
So, yeah, guys and girls both play games, mind, monetary, and love. And no, I no longer write him.
