The ladies (and especially you - you know who you are ;)) have all made fascinating observations on this thread. It's not just what you say, but how you frame it; your skill with words; how you make them cascade like shards of sound gently and magnificently around, in careful disarray, only to coalesce at the last moment into the perfect, intricate, shape. Ideas explained and presented like the greatest of snowflakes.

 

Okay, so whose turn is to lavish compliments now? Maybe that would be more fun than bickering. Change is as good as a rest...

 

From that poetic description, and given the subject matter, I picture a blizzard of sharp little pieces of glass (representing PUA advice) causing screaming and bleeding....then suddenly all the glass pieces come together and form a very tall glass man with stork-like legs wearing a very tall fuzzy glass hat.

There are some men who are decent guys who like women but for whatever reason are not looking for anything serious but most players I know are not like that. These guys will break it off with a woman before she ever gets two attached.

 

The reason some women think players like women is because they don't hear how they talk about women when they are around all men. The guy I mentioned who laughs at women's voice mail will use every derogatory name in the book when he is out with the guys but in front of the women he lays the salesman charm on and more often than not they are putty in his hands. He is just really good at getting inside their head. I have seen him get caught with other women and he will have them apologizing for getting jealous. I don't know how he does it.

Oh, Taramere, you have such sharp wit :love:

yes, rocket surgery, exactly. :laugh:

 

so go forth somedude, and practice your rocket surgery, and brain mechanic'ing, and bullsh*tting of the truth, then you'll be getting laid so often that you bore of women and need new hobbies.

 

at which point you will have more bullsh*t to talk about and thus become even more interesting, creating an alternate downward spiral.

 

then join the priesthood, but don't touch the little boys, they frown on that sort of thing.

Thanks for the tips.

 

And yes it does sound like rocket surgery to me. So many details to remember. None of it feels natural.

Oh Taramere the pictures you paint with your words! You have quite the following here on LS don’t you.

 

I picture a man/boy who purposely or hopelessly acts clueless around women and spends their time and or money on a very niche area of self-help which often distorts common sense advice and contradicts itself at every turn.

We both have good taste in women, that shouldn't hurt! It should bring us closer togather.

A duel, at dawn. There is no other way.

This is why I said many girls might get involved with a player when they are young. But the ones who are relatively healthy grow out of it, because they see what's happening. Also, there are different types of "players."

 

Some have said that players love women, and some have said that players really don't like women --- there really are different types out there. I have a friend who is a major player who is really kind, generous, and not a bit misogynistic. He just isn't looking for anything serious, he's very attractive to women, and he's very upfront with them. Some still get played, but they 'play' themselves by thinking he's just looking for the right girl and not believing his very upfront and obvious truths that he isn't BF material.

 

An old school friend was this type. We moved to the same area at the same time, and hit it off as friends - spent the rest of the Summer together with the others, and then started school together. I liked him, but could not believe the amount of attention he was getting from the girls; I wondered where their self-respect was (but I'd been cynical from around the age of six, in that regard). the girls threw themselves at him, and he enjoyed it.

 

He spent a lot of time around me, and I was teased about that by family members (I still get that). Aside from my dad, this guy was the nicest guy I'd ever met, and he gave me one of my sweetest memories (minds out of the gutter). He was confident, and just a good guy; nice to my sister, helpful to me and my mother (who hoped we'd get married and make babies together). He married two years ago, at the age of 35, to a woman he's been with for years, and has been faithful to her. I :love: men like him.
