Are women aware of and have they ever used dread game against their SO?

I'm well aware of men dread gaming gfs/wives but has this happened the other way around?

To clarify, 'dread game' is the PUA term for manipulation, specifically 'mind games'-think stonewalling (the cold shoulder), gas lighting, random withdrawal of affection, etc.



One of my favourites is how many people say "I love you" without meaning it

it's straight-up manipulation Odd. Nothing I've ever wanted to use on myself but my ex used on me a couple of times, intentionally or not...

I have been learning about all the ways that people **** each other over in relationships, and I still have very little faith in entering one for several years. 'Dread Game' is essentially male emotional abuse/bad mind games against dates from the PUA community, but I want to know if women have used it too.

so it's just a funny name some nerds made up for 'manipulation' lol.

Ye a lot of girls do that. I just write them off usually. Only ever played their game with one girl back in 6th form because she was a right bitch and deserved it lmao.

A Voice for Men seems to be the best MRM website out there, the most balanced that gets its ideology across without hating women RedPill style.

Then why don't they just say manipulating instead of making up a dumb name for it
