Where do PLAYERS COME FROM?: when nice guys turn into bad boys

  • The myth of the natural is just that: a myth. Success with women is not something some men are born with -- it is something that some men choose to cultivate. However, the process of developing this suite of skills is painful and expensive. What would sufficiently motivate a man to do so? The truth is that most players are nice guys who were hurt one too many times and decided to do something about it. I explain this process using one of my favorite films, "2046" by Wong Kar-Wai.

      You got this wrong, so wrong. The true player is the natural one. That x factor is manifested from teenage years, it is the capacity to create a strong desire involuntarily everywhere you go, in either old or young women. It is a mixture of charisma and physical/behavioral traits.
      It is preserved even in OLD AGE, and I mean really old (he can easily get young women in his 60s).
      I have never met a "self-made player" who was actually not wrecked in the end by women. They can't neither produce desire naturally, nor they can maintain it through time and certainly not preserve it in old age.
      The vast majority of self-made players manufacture a façade that is never going to last, it lacks the artistic ,effortless touch of a natural (with hundreds of thousands of seductive moments through his life).
      Picasso was a good example of that. Old, bald and short and he could do as he wanted, his aura was that strong. We all know when we see it.
      Perhaps because I'm Mediterranean and here it is like that. That x factor is independent from money and age (and directly proportional to the subject's intellect).
      There is a universal lust for a certain type of genes that knows no age

      "The myth of the natural is just that: a myth"
      Excuse me, I had a friend like this. He was very good with girls. A few times he just started a conversation with one and sometimes a pair of girls on a bus without even telling me he was gonna do it(we were teenagers below 18). In a few minutes I had a feeling that they were ready to go on a date with him or even jump into the bed. These cases did end up with exchanging numbers. He wasn't tall, wasn't muscular, wasn't a pretty face.
      He had multiple girlfriends at a time, and even when he had a main girlfriend, he'd still have multiple girls in rotation just to fuск.
      There's 0% chance that he was a part of the pickup community: it was year 2004-2006 and we're in Ukraine, barely anyone had Internet access back then here, and he never spoke English, anyway. And he was ~16 back then, too. When he'd come from a summer camp, he'd tell us stories how he fuскеd the administrator girls, often a few per summer in the summer camp. And yeah he was telling the truth: like I said, I've seen him pick up girls in minutes with my own eyes multiple times.
      What he was is very cunning, confident and have had a very well-hung tongue. No, he didn't invest time, energy and money to develop "the skillset". It was a street kid that was just good at it: someone might have taught him some stuff to be better with people in general, but that's about it. And yeah, I guess, he did get good at it as years went by, but it wasn't intentional: it wasn't like people that go to colleges or gyms, or the pickup artists that go the gatherings to practice to be better at the pickup art.

    A friend of mine (seriously - not me!) was "hurt once too much" and started treating all women he approached and dated alike doormats. The ladies just kept lining up in a queue! Seriously, the more he played them, the more he attracted the ladies. His exes stopped me while shopping, asking how they could contact him. I lied that I had lost contact with my friend. I could barely remember them (never mind their names), and my friend was already at +5. I was completing my education at the time and had to focus on exams and papers and - frankly, could not bother with this kind of ladies. If you are a nice young man - consider your options.

      I was the kind of guy who women claim to like: kind, thoughtful, intelligent, highly educated, emotionally open, loyal, stable. Well, one woman I loved left me for a drug user. Another woman I loved left me for a drug dealer, which predictably didn't go well. Then she started a relationship with a man who pressured her into sex without a condom and who broke off contact with her once she became pregnant. Yeah, great choice in men, ladies.

The same high bodycount in men would make most western women think of it as validation that he's desirable. Asian women would pull away at the red flag, but that's a learned cultural value.

When I asked him why he would do these things his response was: “because fuck these bitches”. Then he proceeded to tell me stories of women that had screwed him over. It was really interesting. I didn’t agree with all of his methods but I did takeaway a couple of things: 1. Take care of your body and fashion and max that out the best that you can 2. Standout in an ostentatious way 3. Hit on an obscene amount of women 4. Be straightforward

    I feel sorry for "nice guys" who went on the path of becoming a jerk. I was once one of you and I never felt like I could be myself around women because at one point being myself wasn't cutting it. The main issue was my confidence and instead of learning to accept my flaws and truly becoming confident I decided to take the easier route and fake it. I spent countless hours online researching how to be a jerk, youtube videos on being alpha and blogs on how to manipulate women into getting your way, push and pull method, gaslighting etc... and eventually I created this fake personality and to my surprise it fucking worked like really fucking well. The girl who rejected me multiple times (the one who pushed me over the edge) was practically on her knees begging for my attention WHILE SHE HAD A BF and other women who didn't pay me much mind suddenly wanted to talk to me, be around me, and do uhh other stuff. There was a point where I couldn't have any female friends because they were all trying to fuck me WHILE THEY HAD BFS. This sounds great in theory until you take off the mask and realize it was all a front. These women don't want me, they want the man I pretend to be. This realization was absolutely soul crushing and I spent a LOT of time like literal years trying to be myself again and trying to shake the feelings of inadequacy. It is possible but it is a very hard path and if I could tell my younger self to just learn to love and respect myself rather than be someone I'm not I would do that in a heartbeat. So to any young guys here never change for a woman, learn to have respect for yourself i.e. don't let any man or woman use you as a doormat and learn to truly be confident e.g. spark up convos with strangers or women you believe to be out of your league and go into it like you are on their level and trust me you will be a lot happier in the long run than pretending to be someone you are not.

    This describes me: was in a long term relationship that I thought was for life and was left for another man. I suppose it depends on how one defines player: as a decent looking man in his mid 50's I've learned that there's no need to lie and cheat, be confident, honest and know that if a woman doesn't find you attractive, there are dozens who will. I've had a woman say to me "most guys lie to try to get into my pants, you're telling me the truth and you're still going to get in".
    Women prefer it if you lie to them, because then they can 100% blame you. If you are honest then the onus is on them to take responsibility for their own decision to be with you. I've been upfront and said "I will not date exclusively". Some walk away, most don't.

Got dumped many times and basically gives up and true love. I belong to 1…. In either cases, he realises one major thing, that is he really don’t have to put that much efforts as he thought to pull a girl, it doesn’t matter what kind of girl she is tho cause we don’t really care tbh. But that realisation is lowkey dangerous cause now we’re pulling the number of girls we never expected in our life before. My dms are bursting literally hundreds. So in those numbers you’re just one woman, the answer is basically you have to be better than everyone. You have you bring hope to his love life, always be there for him and make him see you (CAREFULLY), of course 90% of time it’ll keep on failing but don’t ever give up. You can’t fix him, you have to give him enough hope so he can fix himself while you’re there for him… does this works? It might not, it’s a tough long battle with risk of ROI. It also depends on the gravity of his player life. If he’s a new player like me, then he can change in short time. But if he’s experienced, then unfortunately the chances are much lower. If you ask, i would suggest not to take that way and waste your time, but if that’s what you truly want, then go for it!. Nothing is beautiful than love after all…

      "Even we don't like what were doing deep down." Nothing but facts.
      I would never consider myself a player because I never purposely played with women's emotions to get sex or anything else. (This isn't because I'm a good person or something but because it's way too easy to manipulate women, and easy on _that_ level doesn't really interest me.) Women I've been around consider(ed) me a player _because I treat no less than 90% of women as friends rather than as possible romantic interests._ They've asked if I'm married or have a girlfriend as they don't know what to make of not being viewed by a man in some type of sexual or romantic way. But I didn't become this way because my heart was broken by a woman (on the converse, at fifteen I was stupid and cheated on the only girl I ever loved).... My heart was kind of broken but not in the normal sense. I became this way after I went from pretty boy in high school and college to [totally different] a year into college when I had a Redpill moment and suddenly developed a real sense of purpose... _and the women suddenly came out the woodwork._ Very suddenly. Even the way I walked had totally changed. Before this, most women liked at me like meh, especially in Baltimore where they love thugs.
      After I guess you can call it the Redpill moment, I mean, I had to run from women now because they wouldn't leave me tf alone. But the 'heartbreak' really came at the job I got after that Redpill moment and I dropped out of college. 90% of the employees were women and 90% of those women were married. And still they would flirt and try to work-husband and bag me and then call me "conceited" for not wanting to sleep with married women. _That_ was the moment for me, a type of heartbreak, sure. I thought about those married women's poor unexpecting husbands and still somehow managed to be civil with them. But from them on, I repented for wanting to think the best of women. If I'd been naturally inclined to negativity or pessimism, I would've thrown in the towel on women long who (the Redpill moment happened 20 years ago).
      Still, the best way forward for men is to *learn, acknowledge, and accept female nature* (always remembering that men have our issues too) so you aren't hostile towards women and can still have good, civil, and fun relationships with women, only now *without 'the element of surprise'* that too many men in marriages and longterm relationships eventually have to suffer through.
      Hell, I didn't know this would be this long or good. I'm going to make it my main comment now. 😂

      Im excacly the same place. If someone asked me why i changed im gonna be honest about my intentions wich i also am to the women i sleep with.
      Im just trying to feel alive honestly. Cant get it through monogamy and deep connection? Atleast i can fix part of the problem while i look for another solution or untill im resdy to try dating again.
      Its really that simple. We know nobody cares and those who care well its not like they can do anything about it and we also loose patience sometimes because countless rejections sometimes from women who take months to assess you as a potential partner leaves toj frustrated and you cant really blame anyone so you just stop caring about making women happy and instead focus on your own needs for once without relying on your assessed value as a partner to get it.
      We are humans. We need to be touched. Literally. Its a basic human need.
      You wont make him realise anything because hes essentially correct. He can do all that and still be of value to women much later in life when he is able to be seen as a potential partner by women even younger than himself because he knows hes judged differently as a man and can participate without consequence.
      Thats what i mean with stop caring. We dont wanna deprave ourselves just to fix an issue that women chase so we instead become the issue that women chase.
      And no. Its not that we arent able to deter some whore ass woman who's toxic in many ways from a good woman.
      Its that "good women" can be very great people. Like super great kind and compassionate people but still cant escape their nature.
      Trust me. Before i changed the way i thought about things i almost purely judged women based on their ability to be future mothers of my children.

    The last relationship was by far the best relationship I’ve ever had.
    So much of went right was… by accident.
    First, she was more attracted to me than the reverse. I never pursued and didn’t rush to commit. Any time she brought up exclusivity I brushed it off with a joke or something.
    At that time I didn’t know how to date non-exclusively.
    There was no supplicating behavior. I took the lead on how conversations went. Disagreements never became disrespectful. She was a loyal, patient, compassionate, open minded woman with a great sense of humor.
    I was her best option.
    The problem is that I wasn’t as physically attracted to her as I had been to other women. I also didn’t know about the “adorer vs. adored” concept and had been missing the emotional experience of being the adorer as I was with my first girlfriend.
    We were a team. I felt both at peace with her and at home.
    Eventually I broke up with her. It was definitely hard on her.
    The draw for other women was strong and I didn’t know how to reconcile that.
    Another reason was that the relationship had felt like a crutch in terms of my own self reliance and maturity. I have no doubt she’ll find someone again. There are no bad feelings towards her.

One thing I learned is that people (women in this case) respect strength. And I was rewarded for it. She had my back. And she ALWAYS shared her body with me. She never refused me, not even once. Good times. This woman was so dedicated to being with me that she rode a greyhound bus for 2 days to show up at my door. I had to leave for work, so she spent the entire day cleaning up my apt.

The guy could literally say anything and he'd get the numbers of some girls, including outrageous stuff like writing "anal?" as the opening message, or saying that he just got out of prison for doing inappropriate things with minors.

Funny thing is that today most bad traits in women are labelled as being strong independent women.

    First off, you’re killing it in the CZcams game and I bet it’s not long until your channel blows up. Secondly, another point to add is that when women encounter players that are good with women, they make the assumption that these men were somehow always good with women because they were given inherent value. The concept of having to create your own value as a man is so totally foreign to them that they can’t conceive that the high value men they pine for were once technically low value as well. It isn’t until they’re Post-Wall that they realize the fallacy of this thinking but by then it’s too late. Anyways keep killing it, your channel is gold

      Well said. My take on this topic:
      My theory on why they think that's the case is because they, women, are passive by nature and they project that passivity onto others. Let me explain: First most if not all of them are the type that "goes with the flow", follow trends and the collective or the "will of the group". In other word they're sort of deterministic, they "think"/feel/believe that there's a set "way of things" that can't and shouldn't be change or it is for someone else (the men, father, husband) to do the determination, the changing. This is because their bodies are naturally more weaker/softer in order to carry a child while pregnant and when they externally carry the child while it's growing. By extension this leads them to be more naturally adverse to danger both physically and emotionally.
      I think that aversion is translated to their mind/ego (since both originate in the brains r-complex) leading them to have an aversion to potentially being wrong or unsuccessful. That leads them to have an aversion of being active and taking risky initiatives, an active set of actions that may or may not lead to failure even if it may lead to success and the betterment of one's self and lifestyle.
      Second there's the fact that their own self value and the source of the value they believe others put on them, is based in their youth and naturally developed beauty. That it was something that they got not throug determination or action, they got it by simply "being" which leads them to project said idea onto other, that others personality, value and physical attractiveness is set by nature.
      That's why they don't like and even refuse the idea that a person can change and/or improve for the better because it would prove to them that a person can change through choice and determination and that anyone can either improve or degrade depending on the choices they make and that those who thought the opposite, like them, were just being lazy and passive.
      The ironic thing is that most men achive the best version of themselves, the ones which most women are attracted to, through decision making, action and learning through trial and error; it is very rare for a men to be natural born with confidence, steadfastness, "high level looks" and charisma, let alone determination, those are things that most men develop through the years. Meanwhile the things that most women are initially valued by, the things that attract the attention of men, their youthful beauty and personality, is temporary, it will not last long if left by itself. They have to actively work in not only maintaining their looks as long as possible but also in developing and maintaining personality traits and actions that are desired by men in a women. Their looks only get the sxl attention from men but is their likeability and pleasant and supportive feminine personality and actions that men look in a potential long term life partner.

    Speaking from experience (I have slept with a lot of women), I think the term "player" as people who were once nice guys is true, but only for a certain category of the term "player". There are people you may categorize as players, that came from break ups, and want to experience abundance again, there are players that come in as sociopathic in nature, and they want the power and status that comes with the skill. Some of my personal friends are guys that actually have girlfriends and love them, but simply dislike being exclusive so they cheat on them, and would fall in their own category as well. I think my own reasons have evolved over time, at the beginning it was absolutely about power and gaining access to women(perhaps you could say my romantic notions were tempered by reality), and to a certain degree it still is. Over time, after being in several relationship, I would say, I want a really attractive and caring partner, and dont care much about sleeping with more women, and only do so once in a while, to offset feelings of loneliness.

    This describes me very well. I was raised on Ross and Rachel and thought if I just desperately pined enough for girls they’d love me. The first 3 serious girlfriends all cheated on me. Two I asked to marry me, one even after I found out she was cheating on me. Pathetic huh? I didn’t have any problems getting girlfriends. I’m good looking, played D1 football, I think I have a good personality and am funny, but i just never really figured out women.
    After the last girlfriend, something changed. I finished law school, got a good job offer, and i decided to start over and reinvent myself. Kids call it “looksmaxing” these days haha, and I also mastered the online dating apps back when they were in their infancy. Long story short, I definitely became a “player” and have slept with hundreds of women. I’ve come almost full circle now and kind of want a real relationship and possibly a family. Not sure if it makes sense though. But at least knowing what I know now, and having the experience of being with lots of women of all types, I feel a lot more confident about not getting destroyed in a relationship. I know what power is, I know my own worth, and I don’t have those cringey lovey-dovey delusions anymore.

      Women want to feel safe and secure and loved. She only cares what she feels about you. If your project or mention an exgf she will feel that emotion about you too and since she is emotional will not want to date you again etc. Learn this and up your game with confidence and fun and she will run to you.

    Never thought about players as idealists who got their souls crushed, however, l believe I went through a similar transformation.
    In my early twenties, I was romantic to a cringy degree. I was always on the lookout for 'the one' girl who'd stay with me and I was described as clingy and desperate.
    After my first significant heartbreak due to my ex cheating with the 'guy is not supposed to worry about,' I noticed a change in my behaviour.
    I acted like a textbook dismissive avoidant if you are familiar with attachment theory. I noticed a general apathy toward things as I accepted life as a transitory mess, in a Buddhist-like way. I became guarded, not heavily investing my time in people unless it benefitted me significantly. If a conflict happened between me and another person, I would cut them out of my life with no hesitation to 'be rid of the problem' as efficiently as possible. I also began lifting weights since I was skinny and even started dressing like a typical fuckboy despite having the opposite personality.
    Surprisingly, this combination made me likeable to most people, and women more receptive to me despite not 'trying'. This right here is the blackpill apotheosis to becoming a player. It's when you realize just how superficial human beings and society are. I was the same awkward introverted guy, but with muscles and a backwards hat. Becoming physically strong made women suddenly show interest and give me the time of day. Similarly, changing my clothes was enough for strangers to treat me kindly just because I fit an archetype in their minds. That's really all there is to it.

A guy need not be very handsome nor rich. All you need be is a) secure within yourself, and b) known to be in the company of women. Which shows itself even to women you don’t know. There’s something that changes within yourself that projects out into the world, and the women are just drawn to it.

    I came full circle... I was a very attractive guy, well built with great looks overall, but I was 100% a nice guy and a hopeless romantic... Then I got married and had my soul crushed. Depression and mountains of regret followed, and then, in order to cope, I threw myself into my self. The separation occurred at 31 years old. From 31 to 34, I got a much better career and turned myself into an absolute fitness specimen. I was lean, shredded and still had a great face and hair.
    The number of female broken hearts I left in my wake haunts me to this day. Getting a woman into bed was insanely easy for me. In those 3 years I had more women than most men would experience in a lifetime.
    And then I met Chris. She wasn't the most attractive, nor the sexiest. she wasn't the most desirable. She had baggage, a disabled son of 12 years old..... But she was the one woman I wanted that wouldn't give it up to me. No matter how many dates we went in, no matter how much time I spent, she made clear I was not going to F her without marriage.... And it drove me so crazy, I married her.
    I became a 100% nice guy again... And ended up profoundly regretting it. She did not treat me well. She is not a cheat. But sex was rare and her disrespect was plentiful, which makes me miserable at times.
    So, i went back to being a player, at least with her. I made it clear the marriage was on the line and how I 100% didn't need her, not even a little bit, and I meant it. The result? Things are way better, thank God

      Her priority is her son, not you, and that's how it should be. Your attachment to unavailability is not healthy, especially to a woman who bore another man's child and is dedicated to that child, and by extension, that man. Marriage is about value exchange, not emotions or feelings.
      Divorce rate is 90% for women with bodycount of 6+, 6% for virgins at time of marriage. You also have to make sure you're not so broken that you carry your own 90% with you. Everyone on their deathbed wants to be surrounded by their children and loved one, nobody wants to be alone. It just haven't hit you yet.
      Me and my wife were both virgins when we married. We're atheists. I'm 6', fit, made low 6 figures straight out of college, and had IQ of 145. She's pretty, didn't wear makeup but looked better without it than most women do with it. We chose to not ruin our own lives.

    No mystery here folks. It's not that they don't like nice guys. It's that THEY think the nice guy has unrealistic expectations of them, and they can't be themselves with this person. I'm not agreeing with their impression of nice guys, but you need to understand how they might view it.
    With a bad boy then can be themselves, so to speak. They don't have to be "ladylike" in the prude sense: Maybe they want to get face-f***ed, rammed hard, ect, but in their twisted minds they think the nice guy might judge them, and they don't want that feeling of being judged. With a bad boy, there is no such inhibitions..
    You can be nice to them. You can love them. You don't have to be mean or cruel. Just treat them as real people and not figments of your own imagination. Make them FEEL you have no illusions about who they might be as a person.

    I knew a few nice guys who turned into "bad boys" when I was young. When I asked why the change, the usual answer was, "I never had any luck with girls until I started acting like a bad boy. Now I have to beat them off with a stick." Things haven't changed much since then. My grandson says he has never seen a "bad boy" who didn't have a pretty girl on his arm.

    For a long time I was obsessed with romanticism. I was raised to find value in this - to treat a woman “right”. I was taught that this sort of behaviour would be rewarded. After numerous and very painful rejections, I eventually got sick and tired of it all. I describe my change as sort of waking up one day and having a newly found confidence. I’m not sure what tangible thing changed but I felt completely different. From then on I proceeded to sleep with countless women. It was a validation that I yearned for. This all came at a price as I had to surrender old parts of me. I had to wear a mask to fit a role. I never truly liked what I was doing but it did reap rewards. When I look back at that period of my life, I realize that the saddest part about it was that it was only when I changed, when I deviated from my natural and comfortable form that I saw any real success. It was a painful reinforcement that who I think/thought I was is not attractive. A part of me still wants to believe that romanticism exists. A part of me holds onto it. My pain, however, won’t allow me to accommodate any of these beliefs anymore

    Your description of the transformation of a nice guy and the underlying mindset described me to an absolute T. Going the pick up route, I learned how to sleep with women, but I was/am basically incapable of offering true love and compassion due to my past.
    I've passed on girls wanting relationships with me, when pre-transformation, I would have gladly have accepted their advances. I live a strange life now, whereby I continually want to date, but I never feel like I can have an emotional connection nor do I feel like they will want to stick around. It's almost like that part of my soul died when I made the transformation.
    It would be great to see a video on the transformation from a player back to proper emotionally functioning person.

      @@caucasianafrican1435 I would agree with that. Until I went through that phase, it was basically impossible for me to be honest with myself about what I wanted in a woman nor to be 100% open and honest with a women. After the transformation, I can communicate much more openly and clearly, which leads to more clear boundaries with the women I interact with. Maybe I'm the outlier, but I know old school PUA would advocate communication as a pivotal skill, because if you are going to juggle 3 women, it's easiest to let them know that's the arrangement up front, rather than lie to them. I've never pulled off having multiple women at once, but the sentiment is the same that communication is key.
      Looking back, being a "nice guy" mostly consisted of me lying to myself to suppress my desires and accept relationships (friendships) that weren't what I wanted. Maybe it's called being a player, or maybe its called maturing.
      I think if I hadn't gone through this period, I think I would have ended up in a relationship with women I "settled" for, resulting in being bitter and resentful. Or worse, I would never have dated and I would have spiraled into even worse bitter, resentful, and hateful feelings. I'd like to find 1 women who I can spend the rest of my life with, but I think I couldn't appreciate that 1 person if I hadn't been with a lot of others.

    as like many of you guys, i was like that too, a fataly heartbroken guy who figured out the game-mechanics afterwards. like some guys already pointed it out - it became so easy to get new girls that it was almost boring (which i somehow compensated with increasingly perverse "practices" on girls). however i found a girlfriend, which i am actually quite satisfied with. comitting to my girlfriend is a huge sacrifice, because i basically can't have all the other women anymore, but she knows and appriciates that. So to all the guys who are miserable of all the boring-meaningless flings, I have something to say: comitting to a girlfriend and the decision to fall in love (and risking getting your heart broken again) is a HUGE act of bravery and courage - i think it's the next step on the road of masculinity, because it's really a lot more fulfilling than the "girl-rotation-routine"....but i have to admit, i still do miss it sometimes :D

    A good deeper reading into this is "The Game" by Neil Strauss. Despite the title, it's not a "how to" book. It's him going along the ride of the underground player & self-help dating guru culture. The most interesting part is when his idol who proved he could pick up women (mostly in clubs), fell in love with one....and then she broke up with him. He had to check the broken hearted guy into a clinic. Which brings an interesting point to all of these self-help guru things, they tend to fall short (although they touch on it, usually briefly) what to do once you actually fall in love with a girl and she feels the same.

    I was that nice guy you're talking about for all throughout high school, probably a 5/10 in looks + height. Always got passed up by girls and disrespected all the time. Never remembered by girls. It felt like shit. After I graduated university, I got jacked, earned money, and took care of my style. Now everywhere I go, at least once a day, someone tells me I'm good looking. I'd say I'm anywhere between a 7 or 8 now.
    I basically get to toy with girls and have sex on the first date whenever I want. It's so hard to respect women after what they put men through. And you bet your ass I'm gonna abuse this power 😂😂
    If I was an 7 or 8 at the start of my life, I would probably always be happy and not be a fuckboy. But having become a 7 or 8 later in life, I want to be rewarded for my hard work. I know this sounds fucked up, but I know many men would agree with me.

Something that came to mind as I watched the video is: If the experience of something negative (rejection, etc.) can motivate behavior, how about the NON-experience of something positive (reliable access to sex)? Plenty of bad boys might be former nice guys who used to be bitter from being rejected and were motivated to transform themselves so they'd be the ones doing the rejecting; plenty of bad boys might also be former nice guys who used to be sexually unfulfilled and were motivated to remedy that lack of sexual fulfillment.*

      I think I had a small epiphany while going to reply to your comment so bare with me as this is just coming into my mind, from someone in the same boat as you.
      Here's something to ponder. We know women do shit tests, and that by being "better than them" (acting like we are a superior by just being disrespectful) is kinda the reason they do it, so that they can give you themselves. This is biologically ingrained behaviour it seems.
      Would you not also say, that, as a man, being the Jerk and seeing which women just roll over and take it is not, in itself a similar shit test? The ones that just salivate ate the idea of being degraded do not pass the male shit test. The ones that do a few things, namely:
      1) stand up for themselves
      2) take accountability for themselves and their actions
      3) show they are capable of putting the foot down and SELF-RESPECTING themselves (not so much as emotionally lashing out, but almost being stoic like a man) in the face of blatant disrespect from a guy obviously "Playing" them, that Actually pass the male shit test, and become a Woman We as Men can respect? And in doing so, we can trust them to take care of themselves and our children?
      In this regard, should men also play the Player Game as a form of Shit test to ensure we find Women that are of respectable quality? Women play theirs, and play men, and men play theirs, and play women, but in the end, when two players realise they can't play the other, or that the other can't be played, then we know we find a compatible mate.

    There is a small minority of men that women will happily "break their rules for" while for all other men they will "make rules". Successful players often get positive reinforcement because they are the men that women will make themselves available to and even actively chase because of the player's combination of physical looks, charm, charisma and overall perceived value. Being that women often behave like herd animals, if a few women are interested in a guy then all of a sudden there is competition between these women to "get the guy".
    Anyway, don't begrudge the Player. Being a player takes skill, time and effort. That's why women can never really be "Players"; a woman can attract and get male attention/affection/sex by just being physically attractive enough and making herself available.

    I just started college when I read "The Game" by Neil Strauss. Then read some more books. And some more. Practiced myself to make eye contact and smile at random people. Greet people I barely even know. Talk to everyone who was next to me in class. It was unnatural. It felt unnatural... Until it wasn't.
    Oh my fucking god. I found out I wasn't ugly. I just thought I was. I was just extremely weird and socially inept. The amount of bitches I ran through in my uni days. The many hoes who would blow me only to see them kiss their boyfriend 15 mins later. Woke me up to the realities of women.
    I was a degenerate. I knew it and accepted that I was but I never cheated on someone I was with. I made sure I wasn't with her anymore. But when I saw what these women did to people that loves them still gives me goosebumps to this day. That was around a decade ago. For 5 fucking years. I watched them do shit that I knew would devastate me if it was done to me. And they did it without even flinching.
    Honestly. My naivety is gone. And after seeing those shit. I really don't know if I could truly love a woman.
    A decade ago I would have said to the guys that was hurt by what I did. *Don't hate the player, hate the game*. But now, I just wish they're in a happier place, it's a lesson we will all learn one way or another.

    I understand your point about becoming a player. I've been both, but I just feel that if you don't give love a chance you can miss out on something real.

    When I was at uni I have an older friend who was very successful with the ladies. He explained to me what he call the bubble gum theory of women. He said: "You should threat women like bubble gum. You pick one gum from the package. Remove the cover with care. Put it in your mouth and chew it until there's not more flavor. Then you spit it to the ground and step over it. The more you step over it the more it sticks to your shoe". I rejected this approach and I'm uncapable to do it then or now. But he show me that it works one time after the other, no matter the girl. Sad.

    It doesn’t require “skill”… you just gotta be physically attractive and be right in your heart and mind.

    Yes, I agree this is the path that many men walk. However, the optimal result is coming to recognize the inherent dangers in trusting another person, and doing so anyway with full awareness.
