"Among the ancient Mexicans, Peruvians, and some of the Indian tribes of North and South America were found fragments of the Eden Myth. The Mexicans said that the primeval mother was made out of a man's bone, and that she was the mother of twins.
The Cherokees supposed that heavenly beings came down and made the world, after which they made a man and a woman of clay. The intention of the creators was that men should live always. But the Sun, when he passed over, told them that there was not land enough, and that people had better die. At length, the daughter of the Sun was bitten by a Snake, and died....
The inhabitants of the New World had a legend of a Deluge, which destroyed the human race, excepting a few who were saved in a boat, which landed on a mountain. They also related that birds were sent out of the ark, for the purpose of ascertaining if the flood was abating.
The ancient Mexicans had the legend of the confusion of tongues, and related the whole story as to how the gods destroyed the tower which mankind was building so as to reach unto heavens.The Mexicans, and several of the Indian tribes of North America, believed in the doctrine of Metmpsychosis, or the transfiguration of souls from one body into another. This, as we have already seen, was universally believed in the Old World."

Challenge
If a man's so worried about rejected, why does he like a hard to get woman? There's a difference between hard to get and impossible to get. A hard-to-get woman is a challenge. An impossible-to-get woman is a rejection. If he has the feeling that with you, there's no way, he's not likely to hang around for long. But if underneath your 'no,' there's a 'yes' struggling to get out, he may find that a big turn on. Breaking down your resistance can give him a sense of power and importance. It feels good to know that he's irrestible.
But however much a man wants to know that he counts, he doesn't want to count so much that he becomes responsible for you. Being hard to get not only gives him the feeling that you're worth something. It also gives him the feeling that you can take care of yourself. And that's important. If you can take care of yourself, he won't have to worry about getting 'stuck.' He can get involved with you, change his mind, and get the hell out without feeling he's leaving you bloodied by the side of the road. Most men do not want to hurt you. Most men, in fact, are so worried about hurting a woman that they go to great lengths to avoid doing so. Which is why if you appear helpless and vulnerable, you're likely to find men staying away in droves."
That is what James and Peyton said.
