Dating 101-Beware of the Player

Have you ever seen a cat play with a mouse?  It looks something like this:

The cat first hunts the mouse.  The harder the mouse is to catch, the more appealing.  The faster the mouse, the more the cat wants it.  The less other cats have caught the mouse, the more the cat feels he has to have it.  The better the mouse, the better the feeling the cat has once he catches her.

He knocks the mouse off of her feet to where she finds herself unable to run away, even if she knows she should.  Once the cat has the mouse right where he wants her, he has some fun.  He flops his paws out back and forth and jiggles the mouse because it's entertaining to see her squirm.  The cat then allows the mouse to run away by opening his paws.  He watches her run away and as soon as she gets a little bit of distance, he puts his paw down over her.  He does this over and over because it's fun.  He flops her around a little more, this time seriously wounding the little mouse.  She lays there, unable to move.  The cat becomes bored with the injured mouse, too bored to even devour her, so he wanders off searching for something else to hunt and play with.  Meanwhile, the mouse lays there alive, yet very hurt.

Players are like the Cat.  Cats are Predators.  Therefore, Players are Predators. The definition of "predator" is this: an animal that naturally preys on others.  NATURALLY.  So girls, when you ask yourself "Why", because it's in a player's nature, it was fun chasing you, and he did it because he could.  Yes, you're a great mouse, but it isn't about you being great.  It's about catching you.

You know what happens to predators though?  Eventually the prey is gone and they start turning on each other.  The lion eats the cat. The players play the players.

As for me, cats, this little mouse is on to you and I vow to never be caught.


So how can you spot a player?  I guess they're all different, but they're pretty easy to spot for the most part. Now, take it or leave it....I pulled these from other articles....

Actually, I don't know how much I like these, nor do I like making assumptions like this. I mean, according to these I could be a player. You don't want to pin-point the wrong person. Anyway.....

1. They're really confident and usually flirtatious.  Now this isn't saying that all confident people are players, but most players are confident.  
2. Players come on really strong in the beginning & disappear when they're bored.  They are all about you. Beware if he's too into you too quickly. When you're hooked like a fish on a wire, they disappear....hot and then ice-cold. The problem with this is that you've already lost if you get to this point. Give up right now. You'll never win, no matter what you do or who you are.
3. They can't spend a lot of time with you because they're juggling multiple relationships and they can't commit.  They can't commit to any kind of activity with you because something better may come up or they're waiting on confirmation from another girl. They're also always full of excuses about everything.
4. Phone habits. Is he a slow texter?  Now maybe I am foolish and trusting, but I tend to think that guys don't like the phone anyway, so this is probably not always true.  Maybe they don't want to look at their phone ever five seconds. However, I have watched one of my guy friends text like 5 girls at once, it's like an art form, and I know that the girls were all waiting a minute for a reply. Oh, and if he doesn't let you use his phone, run like the wind.  You'll accidentally see something that he doesn't want you to see.
5. They're a little too mysterious.  Do you find inconsistencies in their stories? That's because they can't keep it straight.  They compartmentalize everyone and everything.  You have to stay within your confined area because you may run into the next girl.
6. He has a lot of girl "friends".
7. Do you ever go out, or are you like on his couch with pizza and alcohol?  Yeah, that is not a date. A guy should take you out.

So why are players playing?  Because they want to.  They don't want to commit.  They've got their own issues.  It could be insecurity, reasons why they feel inadequate, maybe they just like random sex, they just like being morons, maybe they don't believe in marriage or even committed relationships.  Who knows....and who cares.  After a time or two, girls learn that players really don't add to their lives, they just hurt them and stress them out and make them insecure. And guys learn the same about these girls.
