Life certainly won't be boring, with all the players and bad boy types you can attract and likely keep.........for a while.

Ten years from now, the author and publisher should face a class action lawsuit.

I'm not a player. A player likes to play games. Usually mind games. Making a person think and feel that they're the only one or making them feel like they're 'special'. If I'm in a place, where I feel like 'playing the field', I will let a guy know UP FRONT (key words) that he's not the only one I'm dating or talking to. If he doesn't want to be in that type of situation with me, then he has the option of keepin' it movin' that way ----- > .

Men have enough negative stereotypes about women. Don't add to them.
She'll just end up in ten years seeing a decent guy she "played" in a good, solid marriage to someone who she thinks she's better than.

I don't understand what you're saying, perhaps you didn't understand what you quoted. Most players will eventually give up if the girl doesn't give it up...

Once they've figured out you are that kind of woman (for the underdog).

They will cater to your every need. If you are PMS, it's chocolate for you-that kind of thing. They will invest hours talking and listening in hopes they'll get the ultimate prize. And once they get to your goods, they will be off in a flash. Their ultimate goal is self-gratification and ego stroking, not a meaningful relationship.

Sentences to watch out for: "You're hot!" and dumb stuff like, "Whoa, Batman and Batgirl riding on the Batbike...hot!" Cheesy, stupid stuff like that dead giveaway. No real man uses such lingo. Just stupid arse jerks who can't get a woman the respectable, honest way.

Go with your gut instinct, too. And don't feel bad about telling one to take a hike and get perm lost.
First two paragraphs are accurate...I completely disagree with the cheesey pickup lines. I guess it depends how you describe a player...A guy who only wants to have an one night stand I don't consider to be a player...I feel a player is someone you described perfectly in your first paragraph. I lastly disagree with "trust your gut"...Girls who trust their gut is what allows players to thrive...

Follow the golden rule and never give a man more than he is giving you. Let him call you, chase you, and buy you dinner. Do not get physical with him, and if he is just looking for sex, eventually he will disappear.

Otherwise, if you do mess around with him, never have intercourse. Let him please you, but never let that magic wand in your body! That way, when he does pull the disappearing act (and ladies, you all know what that is), you can smile and say, "Oh, well, at least I got mine!"

How about people being classy and taking the high road. If you see some person being a "playa" how about just cut them out of your life.

Man the good ol days of men acting like Gentlemen and women being Ladies, sure seem to be gone, based on some of the garbage on this thread.

Ditto that - I often have to remind myself reading some CD threads that "this is just a subset of people out there, not everyone is like this." .
