This is narcissism. Narcissism is a god complex. Do you even know what it is?

But if a woman is too much into playing hard to get, it could be a pride issue.
There is no doubt there. I've been saying all along. Women are very prideful creatures, and always excusing them and their behavior only further inflates them. They need to be held accountable.

She wants you to chase her around.
This just shows that you haven't faced much in this realm. Chasing a woman who's said no is a sure way to fall into the narcissist's trap of time wasting and emotional exasperation.

It can also signal she doesn't value you enough. If she thinks a lot of herself, but doesn't think enough of you to not mess with your emotions, that could be an unhealthy dynamic in a relationship.
It seems more like you are making a case that they are narcissists, but you don't even realize it.

But we shouldn't be too hard on the girls. A lot of them don't know what to do and need a man to direct them. Some of them just emulate what other girls do.
Don't blame them. It is just a misunderstanding. Quite frankly, MrMan, I find these excuses repugnant in my bones.

You could have a conversation with a woman early on when you start dating about being open and honest and not playing emotional games. Some of them might respond well to that.
And why should a person ever need to have a conversation to REQUEST that the other person not play emotional games? Why would any man need to do that? And if the woman is a psycho, why would you think that even if she agreed, that she would comply? A psycho is a liar, and they will lie about never playing games and then proceed to toy with you. Honor is unseemly for fools. And they are traitors. Read your Proverbs.

Some women like a guy they can't control. If she gives you hoops to jump through and you don't jump through them, she may like you more. Getting her to jump through your hoops may also put you in a better position to be the leader in the relationship later.
Unnecessary. You just said all you have to do is make an agreement to not play games. Why then all the games by testing? Either she has consented to do things the proper way as you outlined above or she doesn't and the man will move on. A person shouldn't have to test another person.
Also, a woman looking to test a man in any way is a psycho who is a control freak. What kind of a person who doesn't want control issues tests? No, they issue tests to make sure you are deluded by their confusion and that you jump through their hoops properly, not that you refuse to jump through them. These women are confused about their gender roles, and they just want someone who will play along with them in their confusion.

But I don't think you should demonize girls for playing hard to get a little bit. They emulate what they see other girls doing. And some of them don't want to look desperate. And if she's concerned about not looking slutty, that's a good thing, assuming she is a nice girl.
See, apparently you have a problem with calling out reprobate activity and educating other men on it, under the guise of protecting the gods, the angels, that are the infallible gentle, innocent creatures, the fairer sex.
Bubble.
