Posted: 10/16/2007 2:44:23 PM | Let mw shed some light on the life of a player. My buds growing up was a true player. He had lotsa women. He bragged. He rubbed it in our faces. I admit I was envious, but it wasn't in me to be the same. I always thought he was better than me.
Now, as he nears his 40's he is still trying to pick up the young hotties, he is getting fat, he's losing his hair, and he pays child support for two kids from two differen't women, spends little time with his kids cuz their mom's don't trust him. Unreal. That's were this game will getcha.  | |

Posted: 10/16/2007 2:56:41 PM | | Come on people.......we are all players of one kind or another. Quit barking at each other! There are the players who are just in it for the chase and the notch on the gun....and then there are the players who are in it for the long haul.....but let's face it, none of us really gives out ALL our information on these sites or at first meetings. We all put on our best in the beginning. The trick is to find someone who we can really be ourselves with, and still maintain an interest in each other. If that happens, it makes all the games worth while. And don't worry so much.....even those real die hard "players" will eventually meet their match. | |

Posted: 10/16/2007 6:20:43 PM | Dating is playing...
I have done my share...
but only to those I thought were players as well
So far, I have been right..
I think it is kind of fun to spot a player
and then play him...
NOW THAT IS FUN!!!
It passes the time, no one really gets hurt.
cause you are PLAYIN...
If it were a man I could tell was sincere or I thought I really had interest in
NO I wouldnt play with them.
I think we all can tell the difference...when it is for fun and when its for keeps.. | |

Posted: 10/17/2007 4:09:47 PM | All dating is, is one large riot.
Everyone is running around, stealing, cheating, breaking hearts, lying; everyone is ONLY out for themselves. Look at the profiles.
I want a man who has X, Y, Z...don't mail if_____ insert anything here______.
No one says I'll accept you for who you are.
Then you come and talk about "players", how they are only after one thing, how they don't care about women's feelings.
Ummm... look around! NO ONE HAS HONEST INTENTIONS! I mean, you women say you'll just looking for a nice guy. But then nice guys get shot down, and wonder why things aren't working.
Let's be honest here, for every one of you women who says they want a nice, honest, caring man. There are probably about 100 of them in your town WAITING FOR SOMETHING TO HAPPEN. But they won't fit your requirements in one way other another. So are you really just looking for the last nice guy on earth? Cause if you are, I'm sure there are a few thousand who'd stand up and say "that's me". But you wouldn't like them for some reason or another.
Now, in all these half truths and outright lies. Through the selfishness, greed, ego, lying, manipuilation and whatever elese bad that goes along with dating. You're focusing on this one type of man and running their names through the mud. Look, this is a giant riot and everyone is running around taking what they can, a player is just another face in the crowd.
What about the women who give it up to easy, the ones who get naked after just one drink. What about the ones who don't think rules apply to them, the ones who cant make up their mind so their give their sexual attentions of any man who will look their way. What about the ones who are openly gold diggers? The ones who don't apologize for sleeping with allot of men. The ones who whored themselves out and called it a "phase when they were younger (but it was just last year)". What about every situation, every "crazy night", every backseat blow____, every "we got a little crazy", every "I got a little drunk and did something stupid", every speical night that only happen once.
Everyone is out there going whatever they want regardless of morals. A player is out there, no different than the rest of you. | |

Posted: 10/17/2007 5:37:11 PM | Got to agree with post 34!
Funny that will all this player talk in POFF no one could come up with an actual definition of a Player in the Dating sense.
IMO a Player is a man who will say anything in order to get sex from a woman and a woman who will say or do anything to get a commitment out of a man. lol lol | |

Posted: 10/17/2007 5:59:52 PM | Daisypetals1, if you want insite to what players are, reread post #4. oneofthefishes is a player, she proved she was a player the moment she saw his car and thought, "Hey, he looks like a sucker, let me see if I can play him one more time." It is not important that he was chatting with the waitress. He was a regular, I am sure they knew each other. When he resumed playing with oneofthefishes, (this guy has a tough skin.) He proved that he likes to play too.
I think they should hook up. They have found each other. They are soulmates. Get them out of the ring, let the rest of us try to find each other in peace.

Posted: 10/17/2007 6:29:31 PM | | Dude, you don't ask a lady to go home with you. That guy is a player from the start. Yes, you go to clubs to meet people and have a good time but not to ask women to have sex with you. Players just want sex, not to just meet new people! | |

Posted: 10/18/2007 2:36:30 AM | Heya,
'Players' fall into various categories.
Idiots - People who treat everything as a win or lose scenario... the kind of people who HAVE to win an argument... even when they know they are wrong. These players 'play' because it's a way of winning.
The Communicationally Challenged - These individuals are - on occasion - extremely decent and nice human beings... but rather than communicate or establish a rapport... they want to know what everyone else is thinking and feeling... but don't want anyone to know their thoughts. It's a vulnerability. Insecurity at it's worst.
The Dense - These folks simply don't get it. The sort who read books about how to 'make friends and influence people'. They develop specific 'lines' or mechanisms that 'work'... the problem is... they are rehearsed and artificial. The kind of person who does the whole 'power dressing' kinda thing. Sigh... They don't need a book... they need to chill. Whether they realise it or not... the 'techniques' ensure that they don't get to know someone... and someone will certainly never get to know them.
The majority - From time to time, I think we all get caught up with scenarios in our heads... we worry and stew about whether someone likes us... etc. When that happens... rather than concentrating on having fun and just making the most of the moments... we try to engineer the situation... so we - in effect - end up playing a game. We may not MEAN to... but we do.
Well... that's my 2c worth...
Be well!

Posted: 10/18/2007 11:28:21 AM | For the 41st time... EVERYONE is a "player", which is just a female term of convenience. Women play men, only they call it 'dating'.
Anyone should be able to extrapolate from there.
What women really seem to resent is a guy who is as good or better at it than they are, but that's another thread. | |

Posted: 10/18/2007 12:15:23 PM | You mean...there are 'players' out there ? NO...say it ain't so...nobody wants a player.
You want honest...I'll give you honest.
First thing we ALL we want to do...and soon, is play...but doesn't make anybody a player ? I bet we'd surely like to meet up with somebody who has 'played' before though.
You want honesty ? Good...here is the only honest answer.
We ALL play. There is nothing wrong with play. We ALL play on the way to any intimate relationship....and for very few of the above reasons.
So we are ALL 'players' or otherwise...you must reasess the nature of your 'associations' for your hypocracies should only extend so far. | |

Posted: 10/18/2007 12:55:06 PM | tdh46.."OHHHHHHHHHHHH CRAP YET ANOTHER PLAYER THREAD..... WHEN WILL IT END?????????????????????????????????????????? DO ANYBODY THREAD SEARCH ANYMORE????????????????????? "
Personally I think the OP has put a new twist on the topic. I would like to follow this thread and read the answers.
Does this topic hit a nerve with you in some way? You seem to overly object. You dont have an interest......just pass it on by and keep your fingers off the key board. | |

Posted: 10/18/2007 7:47:08 PM | Players play for the sake of the chase. It's not even so much about sleeping with the person as it is knowing that you can I would think.
Women are fooled by the players because they will say anything to appease the senses. Players after all only love you when they're playin'. | |

Posted: 10/18/2007 8:49:15 PM | Since I've been around a bit longer than most of you.....yep that's true.... Maybe I have just seen more or had more experiences. So I will share a true story with you. In our town, there was a group of about 7 bachelors, from upper crust homes, that all ran around together and were usually out and about in the clubs and bars on most any given night.
Because this was a fairly small community, most everyone single in that age group knew each other and some history on everyone. They usto congregate together at their established reserved table at our favorite watering hole. I knew them all personally, as I dated one's brother, so we usually sat at a table right next to them, so I was privy to overhearing their conversations.
Their favorite game....to bet among each other, who would be the first to score with the latest newcomer to town or the latest divorcee or widow. I even heard one say, hell I can win this one, will even buy the engagement ring if that's what it takes. One night, one even brought a tape recording of his conquest, (had hidden it under his bed) to prove he had made the grade and sat there and played it for all the others to hear. Then everyone had a big laugh. Players, play to impress others, to feed their sick egos and because they have no regard for others in any manner. Its the WlN, in what they think is a competition as.......I'm smarter than you, better than you, slicker than you......and you have no value except to feed my ego.
In this world...there are givers and takers......usually its the takers that love the game. | |
