How to spot the player

Dating a player is a lot like dating someone with a fake leg: you probably won’t mind if you know about it right away. There is nothing worse than getting super excited about a new romance, only to find out the person has you in a massive dating rotation. They are churning out the same lines, wooing techniques, and lies to countless other dates.

I had a dinner date with The Chef recently. He’s actually a guy from my past that resurfaced after we spotted each other at the Lexus Listening Party for Angie Stone. We caught up with each other a bit, and I suddenly remembered why things fizzled out between us. He was/is a TOTAL player. I’m talking the classic, textbook profile of a player: extremely attractive, lots of swagger, with the clothes, the car, and the charm to lure.

When I told him that I thought he was a player, he asked me why. After I rattled off a couple of valid reasons (so I thought), he totally flipped the script on me. He said, “Well, I could say the same about you: you have close male “friends”, (he used air quotes!), you get numerous calls/text messages, can be very social or flirtatious. Alright, so I hadn’t thought of how my own behavior can be seen as player-tastic behaviors.

What do you think a player is? How do you spot one? Do you ever think people perceive you as a player? Would you be interested in dating a player? When does a player reform and stick with one special person?

Good morning everyone.

I wouldn’t want to date a “player.” The term itselfs leans toward having multiple partners, cheesy lines (sometimes) and a whole lot of cockiness. I would like a down to earth man who’s looking to be w/one woman.

Good Morning All,

What do you think a player is? I think this is something someone made up to selling a album or some make believe state of mind or something. In other words I don’t believe in players.

I use to believe in this whole he is just a player..thing until I stepped back and looked at dating for what it really was DATING. I think with all the dating rules and other trappings of the dating game. The “game” has gotten misrepresentd. When you(we) meet guy A or gal B you(we) look, speak, and make a decision to date. Fine got it. You(we) for some reason assume that because they have met you they know no other people. WRONG..when you meet someone you should always assume they are seeing other people..and you should also assume that unless they tell you I want to see you and only you..even after 15 dates they are seeing other people. But somewhere we have confused one date or 10 dates with commitment. One of friends says this..”Just because we exchange phone numbers doesnt mean we are committed.” and it is true. Just because said guy or gal dates more than one person at a time doesnt make him/her a player it means they are dating and keeping their options opening until they find the right one or no one at all.

Morning, all. :-)

From an experiential standpoint, I don’t have much to add on this topic. However, I will say that regardless of whether the “player” is male or female, at the root of the problem (and it is a problem) is their inability (or outright unwillingness) to say “no”.

As I see it, it’s simply a matter of disciplining one’s self and having respect for the other person. I mean, just how much ego-stroking and social approval does a person need? For example, if my BlackBerry is blowing up with phone calls, text messages and e-mails - especially during the time that I’m “supposed” to be out on a date with someone - then I’ve got some serious self-esteem issues. I mean, exactly what is it that a person who exhibits these “playeristic” behaviors is trying to prove to where the “one-at-a-time” approach no longer suffices for them?

I’ve just never understood that.

“The clothes, the car…”?! Mod you down a point, WD. Superficial much?

If you want to get to know a man, get to know the man. Hm.

I’ve no interest in player chicks, and men that play like that get less respect from other men like me. It’s wrong to take advantage of someone else for your own pleasure, period.

good morning good ppl

there is a thin line betw the swagga and the ‘simpleton’…. i say simpleton because thats really all that a playa amounts to.

he is the guy that has mastered the first, say 4 plays in the game. he cant think beyond position A to H - 8,7,6. he absolutely cannot go any futher on the board. too often the opponent is so impressed with the opening moves that she fails to wait and see if he can actually finish the game, much less win.

make ‘em play to the middle of the board, thats my motto. lemme see what his moves are once his jewelry pawn, car pawn, house pawn, job pawn are lost to my horsemen and bishops. thats how i know what im dealin wit. and if it still works out that he aint the one, at least it was a good game.

IMO a player is someone who doesn’t state their true intentions upfront. Some one who offers up just enough to keep you hanging on but never following through. A person that says what you want to hear solely for their personal gain.

April 7, 2008 9:41 AM | Link to this

Wow, we’re real righteous for this early on a monday morning. I think we all need to remember that nobodies out working hard for our respect, they’re working to gain pleasure in whatever way thet can.

For every player there’s someone willing to be played and that’s why this is a perfect world we live in. Is the player any more dishonorable than the the chick/guy that needs someone so bad they’ll overlook the obvious signs?

Also, some are assuming that being monogamous is a “higher” state. That’s not necessarily true as only 3% of all mammals are monogamous. Maybe a player just understands the stats and is better at applying them.

Instead of criminalizing players lets stand up and give them a round of applause for filling an obvious need in the market. LOL

I think the best way to spot them and to save yourself the heartache is to watch out for someone who is very general in the beginning. They dont have to give you their life story, but if they just give general answers like well Im just dating here and there, etc. That is a dead giveaway. Atlanta women have serious dating rotations just as the guys do also.

Greetings everyone from Tampa. Hoping I can get to the beach today.

While I agree with Kym’s point, I think there is a difference between dating and being a player. I do think folks need to actually “date” more. But I also think people need to be honest in what they are looking for.

I think playas date just to date, keep the rotation going. I think it’s one thing to date in hopes of finding the right person, there is another in wanting all of the benefits of dating, while avoiding all responsibilites.

Sure we see the outside first. Everyone has heard “Don’t judge a book by its cover”. Everyone knows there are dogs that will try and play you. If Truth has a valid point, it’s that to fall for a liar means you lacked discernment, putting at least part of the onus upon yourself.

I’ve lacked such discernment in the past, and with some things I still struggle with it. It doesn’t make those kinds of people any less dishonorable, more trustworthy, deserving of any more respect. I just can’t respect a player.

Morning everyone. Hope you guys had a great weekend…nix the much needed rain.

Being the “player” vs “dating”:

Dating is what it is. For some folks there are no rules in dating. It really comes down to self respect and respect for others. I went through a phase in my life where I just wanted to date, and not be in a relationship. Some may look at this as being a player- I disagree because I was always straight forward with my intentions. However, I think the concept of being a player parallels with cheating (playing the field). Some folks are gullible. I think you have to know what you want, and stick to it. Don’t lower your standards even if you run into a so-called player.

PLUG: Players can be reformed.

On-topic: Everyone is a player in the game of life, as I’m sure DasV would attest to. Everyone has a personal angle, and in dating we’re just trying to find people whose angle complements/supplements our own.

a player is being a man about yours….see you ladies confuse a con man/liar/simp/coward with being a player. A player will tell you from day one this will not be a love connection. A player will tell you that you not the only one. A player will not be quick to sleep with you, because he knows that the most important thing he can give you is his seed. A player will make you bring more to the table than your looks and body. And most of all a player is a busy man..so idle chatter and courting may not always be in the plans..or a player maybe a lil unconvential when it comes to dating…thats a player…and i have only meet a few true to the game players since i touchdown here in atlanta….most dudes are playing dress up and repeating s** they see in film or print…

a player is an individual…male or female…that preys on the affections of those partner(s) who may be emotionally invested in them to whatever level and through the use of deceipt and dishonesty seek to gain some advantage over their partner(s) whether that advantage be real or imagined…

That might be true, but it doesn’t apply only to players. I’m no player, but I still demand that a woman bring more to the table than her outer appearance, because the last thing I need is a “Naomi Campbell” on my hands (supermodel looks, but a Satanic attitude.)

Also, lets not overlook the fact that we may actually create a player. Someone could be looking to date 1 on 1, until they meet us, and then they opt to stay on the market. LMAO

If you never want to be played do this. Look at a persons natural temperment. They can’t hide that no matter how smooth they are. After you determine their temperment you know the one thing they’ll always be true to. If he/she is “out there” go forward knowing thats what they’ll always do. They may alter themselves temporarily to accomplish something but they’ll always go back to what it is they are.

I have a friend that would be termed a “ho”. I’ve known her for about 7 years and every once in awhile she’ll say we should date. I know this chick for what she is and act accordingly. She sleeps with more men than most guys sleep with women. My point is why would I think this chick is going to do anything other than what she’s doing right now? She’s not. Her natural temperment is to have random sex, usually for money. If I got with her and she needed money what do you think she’d do? Your right. LMAO

IMO there is nothing wrong with dating as many people as you heart desire. But when you don’t let that be known then you are a player. When you are stringing people along you are a player. When you say one thing but know you mean something totally different you are a player. A player is one who is out to get it all for them not caring about the feelings or heart of the unsuspecting.

On Topic I have met my share of players. UGH! So now I will choose to be the Player and not the Played! I also have a verbal application when a guy approaches me…

-Do you have a job? If not…do not complete this application.

-What do you do as a financial means of suuporting yourself? street pharmacists and sexual entertainment managers may stop here.

-With whom do you reside..or who resides with you? Roommate does not include: wife, girlfriend, baby mama, girl you screw occasionally that thinks she’s your girl with the “understanding”!

-Are you single? That includes: wife, girlfriend, baby mama, girl you screw occasionally that thinks she’s your girl with the “understanding”!

-Are you straight? *That includes: never giving or receiving sexual pleasure from another man. For example, if you allow a guy to go down on you…YOU ARE GAY! Please do not continue..step back at least 200 ft. and get yourself to the nearest ship because you are drifting down that river called De Nile (denial)!

-Do you have any kids? That includes any on the way, any pending DNA and any that you do not see an/or support financially!

-Do you have a car? That does not include the ones you rent fron time to time, the one you borrow from your boy/brother/cousin/mama/etc., or your company car which can be taken away should you lose that job. Also if you are without a vehicle because you are saving for the S500 Benz on your $25K salary…keep it moving!

Now ladies, if he passed the initial physical test and them passes this test..he is worth talking to! Proceed to find out his goals and his beliefs on things that are important to you.

A player is someone who will sometimes have others funding their game. Like a woman that has one unsuspecting dud paying her rent, the other paying the car, another clothing her back all the while each one of them thinking he is the “one”.

Men more than less are the same. They have a flock of females all thinking she is the one and they are helping him fund his game for the next chick. Picking up one lady in the other lady’s vehicle. Wining and dining on another female’s dollar.

Most players get it all given to them. The only true work they have to do is keeping up the game and not getting caught.

Now there probably are women and men out there that are okay with this life style. What some will do just to be a part of a duo. Or trio, and on and on.

Morning folks, I had a similar conversation with a dear friend regarding the dating game. Let’s face it people, dating is a game of sorts. A person who participates in any game is considered a player, there you have it, the definition of a player.

Everyone’s tactics for narrowing down the search for their best suitable mate varies. I personally don’t limit myself to one person, which is why I truly date. It’s like speed dating without the speed. However, I am responsible enough to tell my suitors that I am not currently dating exclusively and if they can’t get with it then I respect their decision to search elsewhere. Variety is the spice of life people, let’s have more spicy experiences..Holla!

You know the sad thing is, there are a lot of people who still opt to date you after being told this.

  • Why do people that are on a quest to be married or to be in a relationship with marriage benefits, always assume a person lacks something or needs their ego stroked because they DATE several people?

  • What do women hear when a man says “I do want to get married but I am dating right now?”

  • When will the other person be responsible for making the choice to DATE and/or have sex with someone who said I”M DATING? Why is it always the other person’s fault?

  • Why do people who want to be married or in a relationship with married benefits DATE?

  • What is the difference between DATING with marriage benefits and A committed relationship with marriage benefits?

  • I thought being SINGLE meant a non-committed person.

    Das Looks notwithstanding, the principle still applies. The woman is paid millions of dollars for her physical attributes, but her attitude is another matter altogether. I can’t even imagine being her man and wondering from one day to the next when all hell is going to break loose again (and probably over some simple ish, too.)

    Truth LOL! Well, I, for one, am very serious about my reputation and even if things don’t work out between me and her, it still matters to me that she’ll never be able to say that I lied to her or decieved her in any way. Whatever else didn’t go well between us, I want to be able to distinguish myself in that I took her heart seriously and didn’t include her as part of some ridiculous “rotation” with other women.

    My brother was once a player. The boy makes a six figure salary a year but always had some woman buying him something. Always treating him to a fancy restaurant. A vacation. He talked one woman into paying for a trip that he took another woman on. Women cleaning his house just so he can invite another woman over. Taking a woman out in the $1000 outfit purchased by another woman.

    He says he is reformed but he still has women here in Atlanta that he call on if I tell him I need some info. I’ll call to ask him something and he says “Hold on let me call my girl XYZ and she will take care of it.

    The apartment where my son lives is managed by one of his old girlfriends. Easy as pie to get in.

    Rell - He gets a slow clap for his honesty. But there are guys who do want a relationship and will tell you up front, and there are guys who date you and then tell you it won’t go any further. Honesty should be a given…period.

    What does that mean you’re a player by “lifestyle choice?” I’m still confused.

Deceit is the route most taken. You fall for liars and all people lie but that goes back to my women like to be lied to theory. Oh and if someone can prey on another person’s emotion then that person should look at themselves and the issues that they have bc they are overt and unsolved.

    Raqi That’s not a player! That is a male/female ho. Sex for money is prostitution period. Again, where is the other person’s responsibility for their actions?

    If dating is a chess game, then no offensive move should be made that allows for defensive weakness, allowing the opponent egress; personal gain is the only motivation for playing; you win or lose depending on who’s piece gets taken. The other person is an opponent. That doesn’t describe dating, to me. I like a good game of chess, though.

    good morning y’all! what’s up wise?

    when you meet someone you should always assume they are seeing other people

    yes, you would be a fool not to. the guys i have dated stated this up front and i appreciated that (dating others). i don’t think these fellas are players. they waste no time telling the women they date that they are not looking for marriage or commitment (but in the distant future). they just want to meet new ppl and have fun for awhile. it is the woman’s fault for not hearing this and assuming she should now be the only one. this is where trying to change a man comes into play! stop it!

    i can spot a player by listening to the first line he spits to me. if it sounds wack as h3ll, then the man behind that line is wack as h3ll.

    2E’s Like, if a person is not married but in a relationship they will say they are single because they are not married.

    But according to the laws of this country and many other ones, isn’t that person single? A relationship is not marriage. They even spelled differently. Kind of like our Platonic Relationship. Now, get up off my lap. I have to go wipe something off.

    * What is deceptive about a person telling you straight out they are not wanting to be in a relationship with you or anyone else at that time in their life?*

    When some men and women get caught up in a person that represents (the ideal boyfriend or girlfriend) what they are looking for (their type)- all sense of good judgment goes out the window.

    If someone tells you they are just dating, and not looking for a relationship- you can either accept this and move on, or date the person with the knowledge that you’re not the only person in the picture. It is that simple.

    Now the guys and gals that keep unsuspecting victims at bay by playing with their heartstrings, allowing them to think love is in the air, and a commitment exists are liars, cheaters, and players.

    For Real - You asked What do women hear when a man says “I do want to get married but I am dating right now?” I don’t know about other women, but I hear I want to get married ONE DAY, but right now I’m just out there having fun, going out with different people, not in anything committed. I have usually heard this when I first met someone. I don’t see the statement as a bad thing, I’ve said it myself. I don’t take that particular statement and make any assumptions, it is what it is. We are just meeting each other. It does say to me that he is open to being in a committed relationship but maybe has not met that person and is therefore out & about, meeting and dating. Sounds upfront & honest to me.

    Blow aka Mayor McCheesy good morning. I could of swore I took out the trash this morning.

    Here’s the numbers: In your life you will know about 3-5 people that will truely love you for who you are. The rest, while seeming to have good intentions, could really give a flying fugg about you. They may care to the degree that you fill a temporary need such as friendship, phone buddy, but if you died tonight most would be bad mouthing you tomorow morning. With that knowledge you falling for the thousands of people that could care less is nobodies fault but your own. If that person took advantage of you it’s because you let them. This is just more of that victim mentality that permeates our society. Take responsibilty for your good and bad decisions.

    DasV Life itself is a chess game. 99.9% of the time somebodies gotta win and someones gotta lose. Your all working at jobs that someone else lost, dating people that someone else lost, loving someone that someone else cared for and lost. You don’t have “that” much conscience to care about the person who came in 2nd, you only care when it’s you.

    For Real - There will always be people, male & female, who are not rooted in reality. They hear what they want to hear. Or, they think that after the 30 days have passed, he/she’s mind has changed. They may even think “I’ll make him/her fall in love with me”! I got played like that ONE TIME when I was younger. Now I take a man at his WORD. I’ve actually had to remind a few of what THEY originally said when they wonder why I seem to be holding back. I have a friend now I constantly remind of this when she calls crying about this dude she likes. He told her up front he didn’t want anything serious, but she has selective memory! She thought sex would bring him around. It usually never does, no matter how good it is. If a person does not want a relationship and has told you, BELIEVE IT!!

    Trust me, man. I’m learning even now that it’s not enough for a man to simply “spit the right game” (as you put it), they’re also looking for an “experience” along with that, because it’s the presence of chill bumps and butterflies that oftentimes serve as confirmation to them that a certain man might be “the one” for them.

I feel as if a person is using the others weakness to gain by lying and manipulation that is a playa. But if you are truthful and upfront and a person knows what is going on they cannot say that they have been played. Honesty is always my best policy. Men tend to accept a girl easily.

    In my original response to Truth, my point was that, contrary to what he said, he’d be fortunate to have even three “applicants” because as much as much as he might “spit the right game” (as he put it), there are still too many women out there who determine if a man is the “right” one for them based on whether or not they “experience” chill bumps and butterflies as opposed to considering the actual substance of the man himself. This goes back to the point I made earlier about Naomi Campbell. Same thing. It’s about what matters most to you, not who’s “boring” or not.

    ForReal, I’m not posting on my emotions. I’m posting a small part of life. The question wasn’t geared toward me specifically. It’s merely an observation from what I’ve seen done to others. Don’t forget ForReal, I’m not dating so my emotions are very much in tact. But, for the record let’s keep it real. Every one is playing someone at some time all the time! When I’m ready, I’ll be ready. I’m merely testing the waters right now. Nothing personal over here.

    Staceye “Stop grabbin’ my azz Truth!!! LOL” I’m sorry, the men in my family are all afflicted with this “loose hands” disease. It’s terrible but we’re working on a cure.

    Darrell it’s hard to make a chick tingle if you’re on the bottom or even on the same level. Women tingle for men they want, they want men they respect, they respect men with a backbone. The short story is she’ll tingle if you have a backbone. LOL The next time you see a woman you’re interested in look her in the eye and tell her she’s going to be yours. The key is you gotta believe it in your heart or she’s gonna know your soft as ramen noodles, cooked. Even if she doesn’t like you she’ll always respect you. After a few dudes fugg her over she’ll call you because she’ll remember that respect. Try it and tell me how hard she slaps you, I mean how it works it. LOL

    For Real go ahead and grind on Kimmie. Me and her are through. Can you believe that chick would leave me because of someting as trivial as another wife? Times have surely changed.

    Can you be celibate if you receive oral sex from a woman? I won’t grab her head or anything. If so I’m going to be celibate.

    Seriouly I don’t want to know everything about a person on the first date. If a guy did come at me and tell me on the first date that there is a love connection those are red flags in my world. How in the world would he know that when we don’t even know each other. I date many but don’t consider myself a player I am open and honest about it to all of them. I date many from time to time because that one hasn’t come into my life yet.

    Player is someone in my opinion who is dishonest in his dating techniques and practices.

    Jazzy “Player is someone in my opinion who is dishonest in his dating techniques and practices.” Not true. A player gets you to lie to yourself. There’s a big difference between a player and a liar.

    Blow I apologize for calling you a troll. I meant to say you have a few troll like features. The overly large adams apple, the long stringy hair, those shark like teeth, those black finger and toe nails that curl backwards and that smell of indian sweat lodge are a bit much. Other than that and your black gums, facial hair, unibrow and long arms with that short body you’re a sweet troll, I mean chick. BTW, Rell and 900 are dudes, unless you know something we don’t. LOL

However you’re reading me today is how I read every day on this blog, and if that comes across as boring, then so be it. Sorry (not really) if I don’t keep you on the edge of your seat with how many clubs I hit or how many chicks I got with over the weekend, but I’d be more than happy to share with you how much fun my kids and I have had the past two weekends prior to them going away for Spring Break this week. How’s that?

    You see, I have absolutely nothing to prove to a bunch of people I don’t even know - and who don’t know me - so I’m not concerned with who perceives me as being “this” or “that”. I’ve been the real me since my first post on this blog - used my real name and everything from day one. But, I guess that was boring, too, right? Not coming up with some really catchy blog name?

    I wouldn’t think many would tell their life story and espouse upon their main goal of marriage or anything like that on a first date, Jazzy. I mean, I’ve had a few first dates like that, we didn’t have 2nd ones. Mostly for other reasons, though.

    The bigger dilemma is when you get 6 months into ‘dating’ and the guy tells you he doesn’t see a future with you No problem here ared, coz 6 mths is not even that long, if u only dating.The problem here is, in 6 months, he has already hit without commiting to u and without u commiting to each other.So whats the point in him commiting if he can get it when he wants it.Its ur problem, the woman for letting him and leading with ur puddsy. Ladies do that all the time and thats why u end up labelling a brother a player. If u play by the rules, date, date and date somemore and if u feeling each other, express or pop the QS or suggest* i feel like dating u exclusively* and if he says cool but multiple dates, u are within ur rights to call him a player.Otherwise brothers will continue enjoying ur salad if u use ur pudsy as carrot and stick becoz u so desperate for smething.

Come across liars, cheats, undercover gay, copies of credit reports aids tests, family protraits, Im in love on the first date types and all that bullshyt and the like.

    Melo ^5 on your post. That is so true. As women we can set the tone of the relationship. Once you engage in sex going in, then what else will the guy expect from you. We had this same discussion at church over the weekend. Women have to realize men are physical (women are often emotional). I don’t care how many guys on this board disagree with me on this: when a guy meets a woman he is attracted to his sexual instincts prowess will kick in. He is figuring out when and where it will happen. Most guys know based on their interactions with a woman how quickly they can get her in bed, or even if it is likely.

    *Melo I agree…I made that mistake before. I had sex with a guy I was really feeling and we adted…basically doing everything that a comitted relationship would be..except the title. I fet I was being used..then that saying of whty buy the cow if you can get the milk for free plagued me and I realized he and I would never be in the relationship I wanted form him. So I must say that I have learned a lesson that if I choose to go the relationship route again I will not bring sex into it until a committment is made. If he can’t do that that he can go straight to hell because I will not be used again. Basically I could have done without the sex…i did it because he liked it. He even mentioned it so I thought I was going about it the right way. But hey…you live and you learn. Now if I was to get busy with someone….there are no loving feeling involved. It’s sex and friendship. I think my heart is blocked behind a titanuim wall now. The thought of a relationship repulses me. I am starting to wonder if I even still like sex! LOL

    A player is someone who knows he can replace the old with someone new or two.. He keeps his emotions under wraps and shows no weaknesses.. A player deals in respect and all transgressions are handled immediately.. He also has all the ingredients of a player “Fine vines, Nice cars and a boat load of Money” that he stirs together and tells the women to come and get it (The MACK).. He also has his I’s dotted and his T’s crossed and has a mouthpiece that spews melodies to the opposite sex. He also doesnt worry about other dudes because they are of not on his level he only acknowledges other players (sizing up the comp)with a quick glance and suckas get looked thru. A player is also someone who knows everything is done on the approach and even though he has all the ingredients its not about the car, the money, the clothes it always about the dude.. A player is so many things and a blog entry could never tell it all..
