Topic: What Does a Player Look Like?

After reading through the "looking your best" thread I noticed a number of people said they don't judge others by their appearance. But, I've also read, in these forums, many women saying they can spot a player from a mile away. Obviously they are making this call based on his appearance.

So, I'm curious, what, exactly, does a "player" look like?



couldnt tell you just by looks

anymore than I can tell a crook, or adulteress,,,,

its in the behavior,,,

Here's what I've noticed.

He's very well groomed, but may be average in looks.

He has a certain posture. Toes pointing a little outward and hips tilted a little foreword. Often with a thumb tucked into his belt.

He holds his drink in a relaxed way at his side, not with his arm across his chest.

He waits for a signal from a woman before he approaches her. Eye contact and a smile.

Women will say he's "sexy." But, men usually call him "sleazy."

You don't get out of the house enough.

I see these guys all the time. Hell, I'm one of them!

Besides, art imitates life.

I agree with Ms.Harmony thats its more about behavior than a specific look. But they do tend to look and smell good . . . its part of the game. They are also usually very good at reading and manipulating people.

This is a little complected.

I see this whole human love/mating ritual thing as a "game." We all play the game to one extent or another. Some are better than at it than others. Someone that is very good is said to have "game."

I think of a player as simply someone that's very good at attracting desirable sexual partners.

You know, I find the subject of attraction fascinating. So much of it is counter intuitive. I love watching the game play out. It's really amazing we are able to get together at all.

TXSscroundrel, you and I must organize an outing for just the two of us, and go to those "crazy world of mirrrors" show at the fall fair, and check out which mirror makes us into the closest resemblant of your topic.

In my youth I used to babysit a four-year-old boy, and he lived with his mom in a tiny one-bedroom apartment downtow. She was sqeezed for space, coz she had five thousand books on the living room shelves, she brought them with her from Hungary.

She had the make-up mirror set on "enlarge image", and she kept it on top of the toilet tank.

All men came out of her bathroom with a certain air of self-importance and emotional independence, when they visited the washroom.

I found my play improved each time after I did a baby-sitting stunt at her place.

Don't say that, unless it's true. In very many enlightened and socially inclusive towns you just described the typical gay person cruising on a Friday night.

What a player looks like


:thumbsup:



The green guy looks like he is about ready to fall for the puck.

Some players should not play with fire.

Playing with fire on ice, his food, and himself, especially all three at the same time, are all contraindicative for hockey players. These activites usually (Notice how I am not generzlizing!!) eat into their games.

I would post a picture of me with my plumage looking magestic......but I am on my Fire tablet....and I can't do it from here.

Trust me...I look so good that it makes me think of going gay.

Hehehe


I stayed straight for the same general reason.

The apartment was near the University in town, Toronto, and one day seven years ago I had the experience of going into her old apartment. She had moved out by then. I said it was tiny. Seven years ago the apartmnet was divided to include four bedroom, and the old amenities.

For students.

Toronto does not toleratea fat person to live in residence. You're a student? You do your share of starvation. And that's that. Otherwise you can't go home into your own room, you won't fit in, literally.


An outing? Unfortunately they won't let me into Canada. The closest I ever get is Buffalo NY.

So... players are like the clergy or like women.

Hm. Worth a thought or two. :-)

I almost replied with "no outing? Well, how 'bout an inning then," and I discareded the idea right away for fear of building a gay reputation.

I find gay lifestyle totally acceptable... I just don't wish to be part of it. Gays are usually more emotional, empathetic beings, I guess, than straight guys, because they suffered through much more and much tougher growing pains than a straight guy.

But still, I am different from them, and I insist on that.

Then tunnel guy. Tunnel.

Or got to Wyominging, where there are hundred mile stretches of the border on flat land, between border guards.

The Nam draft dodgers used that "overground stroll in the park railway" quite a bit.

I can't always spot a player the instant I see one but I often can. Fun to be played by a player when you know what is going on and are in the mood for that kind of fun. (actually then I guess I am playing the player...) Best when you end up 'one up' on a player, makes em go ohwell or embarassed or :cry:


Playing a player is best done at a party or in other social/public situations just in case I read him wrong.

Much harder to spot a player on line, in forums or other chat situations, nice reminder to always be careful out there.

Hey, if I can make it all the way up to Buffalo from Dallas, the least you can do is make the short trip to Niagara Falls.
