If a man wants you to chase, he doesn't want you, he wants to use you. For sex, control and power, attention, so that he can raise his status amongst his peers because you are beautiful or popular, or for his own little ego. Some men want you to chase and will not chase you simply because they crave validation and have a low self esteem, they will never feel worthy enough for a HVW anyways, regardless of whether or not they're "not that into you". I hate this saying by the way. It gives them too much power and insight. Sometimes, LVM are way more superficial and afraid to actually let themselves "be into" a woman, aka invest into emotional attachment with another human being who is a woman, and face vulnerability and their own insecurities. HVM are secure. They therefore don't crave validation. They will meet that need by themselves, with trustful friends, family. At least, that is how I imagine HVW to be. My friends who have low self esteem let men they're not interested in chase them for validation (not to play the field, just out of pure low self esteem). Since I leveled up, I cut men off faster than before, because I meet my needs for external validations with friends, meditation, journaling, and talking to a loved one. I expect HVM to be the same.

Personal side note : Dude, I gave you one chance. Why the fuck would I chase you ? Either step up or go.
