Does anybody know a playa/flirty person that's settled now?

Re: Does anybody know a playa/flirty person that’s settled now?

well X2 bhai is an example of one that did change for the better

that playa attitude i saw every day with these guys that i hang out with. I think maybe they just didn’t see women as living breathing human beings with emotions, all they saw is something they needed to acquire under their belt. they definitely see that i don’t approve of the what they’re doing, the one that was the strongest in his flirtiness has changed from the looks of it b/c i do keep reminding him of the nice things about his religion, and indirectly getting him to change the way he sees these women. Hey maybe he’s changed for the better but still, I see where you two are coming from. it’s a dangerous game they play with women’s hearts, the power they possess over some of these women freaks me out.

i mean if he does seem like he’s changed, how do I know that he isn’t just playin me and pretending to change so he can acquire another one under his belt. the thought scares me to death

so a majority of them don’t change, good to know :k:

I am not comparing the dude I am talking about to X2...

PLAYERS NEVER CHANGE, THEIR LIVES ARE VERY SECRETIVE!!!

Re: Does anybody know a playa/flirty person that’s settled now?

^^^that’s what i’m going to think too and stay practical about this just to be safe…:k:

Re: Does anybody know a playa/flirty person that's settled now?

players don't change, exactly. as long as they are players.
players stop being players.

Now what you have to see if whether it was someone who was casually seeing girls who could be very different from what he says he is looking for in a serious relationship which he is now ready for. If that is the case, still proceed with caution but it may just be the case.

Look..I had no intention of dealing with desi families, abba jis, bhai sahibs, uncle hazraat, cousins, whoever.. so local desi girls were really off my radar back in the day. The ones who were on the radar were the ones who also were really not looking for anything serious. why make it hard for yourself, where the other person has to sneak around, has umpteen restrictions, or is really looking for something serious.

Now, if you are instead dealing with someone who is looking more for conquests and is going to lie about himself, or intentions and fool someone, that is a con artist, and I would advise to stay completely clear. I think this group is a minority

third class of players is the majority, these are people who are not open about their past or even hint that they had a past. So now, you let your guard down because munna sharif is not playa, and then guess what happens, you get played or you find out how he is after you are hooked up.

There is a huge difference between the types. If i were to advise someone, I would say proceed with caution. also, just because you don't know about someone's past, does not mean he does not have one, and the one who actually has to hide, probably has more of a reason to hide.

and from my perspective, If u want to be safe, steer clear anyways, and for friends who are going for either of the 3 types i noted, warn them.

I know begum got warned by her cousins who lived 2 freakin states away that I was a player :D cuz it appears I was a supah-playa with a rep that crossed stateliness..
well actually her bros fiancé who was pals with her cousins was the source of the warning.

Luckily begum was more sure about my sincerity than her family. So now for the kicker...I did raise the point that I did not go to desi events. in undergrad i met girls who came to my fraternity parties, and in b-school it was all uni parties at clubs. So..the only way I would have me someone would be at one of those events. You know how right I was? the chica who blamed me of being a playa and tried to end the whole thing between begum and myself...well, she ended up walking away from my bro in law, because she had a boyfriend on the side :D she had hid her past..and maybe I did run into her at one of those things.

ahhhhh life.. amusing isn't it?

and just so you don't think I am an anomaly, everyone, desi or non desi in my gang who could be considered a playa are settled and are happy, none of them make a secret of their past, they may not go into details but they don't hide and pretend to not have a past. The challenges I have seen are where someone hides it, again, because either they have a reason to hide it, or because the person who gets hooked up has different views about who they are.

you are still a player.......just in a different game now..... :D

Re: Does anybody know a playa/flirty person that's settled now?

but players do retire from competitive sport.

Re: Does anybody know a playa/flirty person that’s settled now?

Xtreme Playa!!!

from :faizy: to :x2:

Re: Does anybody know a playa/flirty person that's settled now?

women try to over analyze the player types too much. there is a lack of male opinion on this thread and im sure most men will agree with me on this.

the so called players are just men with a lot of options (bcos of very good looks / social significance etc) and a willingness to exercise those options.
in my book, the player/womanizer is the guy who can effortlessly and naturally attract women. so in that sense i disagree with you Nisha, since you claim that such guys put a lot of effort to pursue a woman, and lie their way to a womans heart only to get bored once she develops feelings. players & womanizers dont need to do any of this at all. women are just attracted to them of their own. a man who has to make effort and lie is not a player...he is a fraud..a cheat. even a mediocre guy can do that.

the thing that separates a player/womanizer from a fraud, is that players dont have to lie about having feelings. women are willing to invest sexually and emotionally into them unconditionally. i know of guys who frankly told women they were dating, that they arent looking for anything serious and to not expect any commitments, yet the women still stayed with them. still maintained sexual relations with them, still hoped that it would lead to something more. if it doesnt then their 'investment' goes wasted. and that leads to frustration and shifting blame on the guy that he 'used her (mostly for sex).

women actually dont mind the real players. its the cheats and frauds they hate. its the ordinary guy who has to lie about feelings and make false promises of commitment just to get sex, that they really hate. women actually love the player types. they love to have fun with them. they dont mind having sexual relations with them...sex is great too. they give them the thrills. whats not to like about all that. women are actually quite calculating.. please dont underestimate them.

every man wants to be a player (read 'have a lot of options')..every man wants to date and have sexual relationships with a variety of women. thats all there is to being a player.

hum yehi sab kucch pehlay hi farma chukay hain

Re: Does anybody know a playa/flirty person that's settled now?

So here's a twist in the tale (and I ask this question, because I've dealt with this question in real life as well). Do the details of the "playa's" past matter?

Type 1: He dates a ton of girls (double digits), but was in a "relationship" with them, so that he dated/knew them over a period of weeks/months/years. He may have been indiscreet with them - but it wasn't a one-night stand.

Type 2: He bangs anyone who will have him and has had LOTS of one-night stands.

What's your opinion on these types of guys - is one better or worse than the other?

Re: Does anybody know a playa/flirty person that's settled now?

as long as it is really in the past and it has not resulted in any STDs or unknown kids does it really matter?
the question is, it really in the past. Is type 1 or type 2 more likely to go back to his ways, I would say it is probably type 2.
In the end it depends on the individual.

and the short term things don't necessarily don't mean wham bam thank you ma'am one night stands. just like 'relationships' don't always mean 'indiscretion' neither do shorter hookups. they are more likely to i guess, but thats not always the case.

Re: Does anybody know a playa/flirty person that's settled now?

i havent read your posts. but i dont understand why some women get so upset if a man actually has options in the dating & sexual marketplace why they get so pissed if a man is actually in **control **of his dating and sex life and can take the relationships where he wants to take them. women only want that power for themselves.

actually you must have observed that although there might be a handful of guys with a great dating and sex life with multiple women, most women have plenty of options and date multiple men quite effortlessly and are in comeplte control of their dating & sex lives.

Re: Does anybody know a playa/flirty person that's settled now?

if this question is directed towards me then no his past wouldn't matter to me b/c i think we all learn from our mistakes in the past, playas and nonplayas, I think we all become better people with all these experiences, if they have in fact stopped. I think a playa did certain bad things in his life, he saw women as sex objects or really wasn't emotionally invested in any of those past relationships but when he does actually make that effort to change or make that grand realization within himself to stop playing with other human's emotions, he's a better man for it.

i personally try not to judge somebody negatively, who am i to do that. that's why i'm still friends with these desi guys.

going by my observation in the nonvirtual life, i feel like it's an addiction or need to constantly conquer any pretty woman that comes by or see how many they can win over. maybe there are different kinds of playas ones like X2 and then the ones like the desi guys i'm friends with

the ones that actually overcome an addiction(any addiction OR WEAKNESS in life) are heroes in my eyes, b/c they've licked the one big weakness they might have had in their life, that might have caused pain for others or caused pain to themselves

Re: Does anybody know a playa/flirty person that's settled now?

what do you mean by 'type' ? vast majority of singlemen love casual sex relationships. (FWB's, ONS, flings etc ) and no man 'bangs' anyone he finds physically repulsive. why are you trying to delude yourself that there is a specific type of men who do this?

Re: Does anybody know a playa/flirty person that's settled now?

you are unwilling to open up your mind on this issue.

Re: Does anybody know a playa/flirty person that's settled now?

uzair, see even X2 says that there are different types of womanizers in his post above. the third category of guys he mentioned are the ones similar to the ones i'm talking about. whatever the situation emotions aren't important to them, do you agree in that way.

gosh and you've kind of generalized all women into thinking and being like the ones you've described there. i would hardly say that it's "most" women like that.
