    sounds to me that he was just after the sex and didnt want to get involved with you, so he kept you sweet by promising this and that to you to keep you happy and so he could continue to get his hole

    Maybe im wrong tho

    What?
    I said generally speaking...
    As in stereotypes, what's expected from genders, etc.

    I didn't mean to offend anyone. :confused:

    No need to delete it (plus no point really), but you're right, I shouldn't be offended. I suppose my reaction is a reflection on my feelings if someone were to assume something like that about me.

    I think it's something lots of men assume about women. As to how true it is though, I couldn't say. So no apology needed. At least not by me. :)

    Well I did delete it, just incase anyone else did get a bit upset. I honestly was trying to make it clear than generally the "players" of both genders go for different things. At least from what I've experienced from personal relationships and other people's relationships.

    I wasn't having a go at men or women, TBH.

    Maybe I didn't make it clear and maybe you just mistook it the wrong way so it was a mistake on both our parts? :)

    Both men and women play each other. I think its a horrible thing to do to someone. Theres a woman in our circle of friends playing a mate of mine at the moment and its not easy to watch. I have had both female and male friends who had their confidence destroyed because of players. Their not good people and theres not much more to say about them.

    Ilovesleep at the end of the day these people are tramps (men or women) and theyll be seen as such. The girl playing my mate is trash and my other mates will ignore her because of that. The same gos for any man playing you or any girl.

    I know what you were trying to say, but it might be better to find another way of saying it :)

    Heh, I can only imagine in a pub!
    *bottle across the head*
    "oh, you didn't mean it like that? Sorry for hitting you with a bottle".

    I understand alright; I actually could have worded it a bit more accuractely.:o

    I think people that are players are doing it for their own personal gain. Kind of like users they will do anything in a situation to get what they want and when it's bled dry up and leave. I know a girl who is a social player she will latch on to a group get as much as she can out of that group before moving on to the next. Unfortunately there are just people like this in the world and you just have to be wary if you come across one.

    I was seeing someone recently, told him I'm good with the physical stuff, no dates etc. Basically I just wanted sex with no strings.
    He insists on dating, dinner, movies, walks up the mountains, not seeing other people.
    That was all well and good, until one day he sends me a text and says, its been emotional :)
    I was like what the hell?!
    The sex was amazing, we had the same sense of humour, lived 2 minutes apart, and he says we aren't relationship compatible. Ugh men....

    Ugh, women ...

    It seems like a lot of women around here need to man up and enjoy the ride while it lasts :p

    There's something similiar here in afterhours already but it's about cheating and this is about playing people.

    For the life of me I can't understand why some people play others. Players will persue you then afterwards play you. They introduce an expectation just to leave you hanging. I mean why say anything at all if you don't mean it? Is it not better to be honest with someone? They know where they stand instead of leaving them hanging.

    I was played not so long ago. I fell for his words which were a clasp to hook me, no doubt, and I was left hanging on it until I asked him and it was nothing more but excuses, skewing me more. And I felt rotten for ages and for so, so long. And it wasn't until it was all over and much, much later you come to realise that he (or she) played you.
    Why mess with someone's emotions like that? Why play people?

    OP, you already have a thread in Ranting and Raving on this topic.
    There is no need to post a second thread here.

    Thread closed.
