Hmmmm...players........
Men OR women are players for a reason. Not sure what that reason is but it could be severe insecurity, ignorance or its the good ole' power trip.
Y'see, men and women like to have power over people, it makes them feel better about their crappy little existance. Me personally, i do not like to have any power over people as i feel that this is wrong. Let people do what they want, within reason, as long as it doesnt hurt others.

But players....well...........
players= WAN.KERS!!!!!

Thats about it really. Any inquiries can be made to:

I know a man whose a huge player. He has always been one, as far as I know. The crazy thing is that he treats women like crap, and they keep coming back for more. He will make plans with a woman and just not show up, then give them some crap about something came up. Those of us who know him know what came up - another woman. He will tell women he will call them back in 15 min and won't call them back til the next day. He'll say his phone went dead or something like that. He has even had girlfriends who have caught him with other women. He tells them something like it didn't mean anything, and they still go out with him. It's amazing. I am often amazed that he always has another woman waiting. Now, he is a good-looking guy and very charming, so maybe that's the reason.

EWWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEE
And I let myself be vulnerable and
T R U S T
him
I was played MAJORRRRRRRRRtime
I had a feeling that he was not being sincere because he wasn't acted as if he was committed
but did want everything about SEX

The man posts God in as "an interest"
and calls himself "a Baptist"

looking for long term

but he is he using women's faith in Christ to get in our panties.
He is the LoWEst ScUm that There IS
JESUS SEES ALL

At every turn you had a choice. You must have perceived some value and potential with what was going on.

A clue...having a photo description of "Mommy wants a Daddy" is likely going to appeal to a lot of guys who want to get into your panties (OK, everybody who contacts anybody has that on their mind eventually) but this kinda makes it look like you're going to press harder for it, thereby you're an easier mark.

Certain phrases are like banners and searchlights..."No Players", "No Cheater/Liars" (yeah, that'll keep 'em away), "No losers" (Moi??? a los'er?).

Sit down, turn your butt around and write a profile that doesn't shout out to the wannabe players.
Cause the truth is, a true player would have never left you angry and rebellious...they have no reason to. They've been direct and honest with who they are from the start. And when it's over, it's positive, upbeat, moving on with your life. The other truth is, a true player is actually, truly looking for the girl that he wants to spend the rest of his life with...the problem's not always with the men...there are a helluva lot of broken women out there. Be the person that the person you desire will find attractive and desireable. Things will happen.

My definition of a player is someone with no heart or morals and someone with no
feelings that is afraid of the C word commit. Honestly I don't have a clue what is it
to play or be a player cause I only like posssitive in my life and I choose to live
life that way.

So they play this game and put on an
act just to see how far they can go with someones feelings. They lie and say what
you want to hear only they are messing with someones mind and thrive on this to
get what they want be it sex or whatever they have no morals or values and can care
less who they hurt in the process.

It's like a game of chess with all the pieces the player
plays at his pawns in hopes of getting check mate and will stand at nothing to get what
he wants to forge ahead in this lonely low life game that is played.

They only want
fun and games great sex no emotional feelings or connections at all they are afraid
to show real affection cause they are so busy living in a fantasy world where their
prey falls to this play that the player intends on acting what a stage production it
is and in the end hearts are broken , feelings get hurt and then you sit back and
wonder is it all just a game in this singles world.

No it's not , cause everyone in this
world is not a player and you can avoid being played by standing firm to what you
want and never backing down. The player is nothing more than a bad actor plain
and simple not one that is very good at it , cause they fall and get caught all the time.
Players don't put a lot into there profiles they are very blank that is sign there don't you think ?

It's a big red flag that there page is not filled out and no photo means they
are hiding something.
If they talk of others woman or going out clubing there is,
another flag that the player is not a sincere person what so ever.
Will not be one thatis true to his word cause it's only a game to them and
we're the prey.

Player has many
forms of communicating and it's up to us not to fall under there spell. A player can
be anything online till he does have the balls to show his face and true colors. I've
been played before and well I learned a hard lesson and that is not to be so trusting
hold out for the best and not settle for anything less !

I have self esteam and I'm strong
I've over commed this and life goes on and that player when I run into one , I just say
no thanks and move on. I have no time for the players big theater production! I'm
not a player and nor will have any parts of one either , I try and look for all the signs
and not allow myself to be played.

TO ME A PLAYER IS JUST A BAD ACTOR

Good Post thank you to the Author
We have to learn to out smart the player and be better than them.

Silly stuff...it makes it sound like a battle of wills. There's a wonderful concept outlined in "God is a Woman":
All women will have sex, the man just has to decide if he is willing to do what it takes to get her to have it with him. All men will have sex, the woman just has to say when and where. (Paraphrased)
The rest of the story is how he learned to deal with his own sexuality and that of the women to whom he was attracted. The last paragraph of the book sums it up:
"Dating is a game. Men can say they don't want it to be, women can deny it. That doesn't change anything. It's a game.
To date, one has to play; it's not a choice. If people don't play, they don't date.
The only choice is who to play with and a hope that he or she wants to play as well.
Follow the advice I learned the hard way, pay attention, and enjoy each other.
Life isn't too short for games... it's too short for losing games."


Let's face it, most women want men who are confident, who have fun in their life and will include the woman in that fun, and who can talk to a woman on an equal basis.
There is no "one size fits all" and players have learned to recognize and go for the ones with whom they can connect, and avoid the ones with whom they can't.
The reason most nice guys finish last is because they are labeled nice, when in reality they are meek and boring.

Don't hate the player. Don't hate the game. Just make a decision whether you're in or out.
Because the game is going to go on, whether you join or not.
So, if you want the company of a man/woman, you need to learn to play the game.
And......you need to learn to play it to win what you are most interested in winning.

If this has been your experience in dating and relationships, I really, truly, deeply pity you. REAL relationships don't work this way at all.

Unfortunately, Inde~...you don't get it...yet...

REAL relationships just don't spring upon you, fully formed and ready for the white picket fence, 2.3 kids, a dog, and an SUV.

Real relationships start with a POTENTIAL for a spark...and you have a choice...you can either pray that the planets align and she ends up tripping into your lap...or you can learn how to generate attraction and integrate that into who you are.

And pullease don't tell me you're not interested in learning how to generate attraction. If you want to date, you...take showers...brush your teeth and hair...wear clean clothes...put on your party manners...say "Hello"...engage in conversation...ask her out...

These are learned behaviors...to generate attraction. And this is what gets you to dating. And dating is what gets you to relationships.

your list describes both sexes. look when women use the word playa to describe a guy, please make sure he is one, and that you are not saying it out of anger because he didn't want to date you. because I am pretty sure that you would not like to called " a dirty ass Gold digging hoe" .

I was a player at one time... I knew I was good at it... It's like the rush of doing drugs...
I could have worn a T-shirt with "I'm a PLAYER" written in flourescent Orange on the front and I could have still walked up to a group of women and had my pick...
Eventually, I got tired of it. I got so that I didn't even need to actually have sex with them, all I needed to know was that she (whoever she happened to be) was willing to come home and sleep with me... As soon as I knew that, I often lost interest, the "chase" was over... I got tired of waking up with a strange face beside me wondering who she was... and how she was getting home...

I define a player, man or woman, as some one who MISLEADS another in any fashion that offers the;

1) False impression of Exclusivity,
2) False impression of Interest for purposes of sex or money,
3) False Hope of more than he/she understands he/she is capable of.

A player ISNT some one, man or woman, who is "openly" dating multiple people.

"Dont make anyone a priority who considers you only an option" (Not my words). This makes sense as a shield against being played...

What is is like to play? I am not sure because I am not a player but I have been played. I have read heaps of threads on here trying to work out I suppose what people consider to be a player in an attempt to not get sucked in by yet another one. This is my experience and personal view....a player is a person who is simply not honest, or not upfront about their intentions. A player will go to a great deal of trouble to convince you they are in fact not a player, will often represent themselves as a victim of other players, will talk about their virtues and honesty, display a great deal of interest in you which is super flattering, enough of it and it becomes intoxicating..... once intoxicated you are off balance and off guard, then they go in for the kill. Once caught and consumed you are then discarded..... To all of those who have come up with the excuse that they were simply not into the person and they are not players just guys taking what was offered.....WOMEN RARELY GIVE IT UP UNLESS THEY ARE INTO THE GUY......and the time to work out you are not into that woman is BEFORE you sleep with them
