Playing hard to get - Why does it work?

Hi guys,

Last week I posted a video in this sub about some academic research related to how important humour, etc. are when flirting with a girl.

The topic triggered quite some reactions. So I was wondering what people would think of this video about playing hard to get.

I'd love to hear your opinions about why playing hard to get works!
