Unfortunately, there are shit people in the world and it always seems like there are a lot more shit men than women (sorry, but true). And sometimes men like to be dicks. Men like to mess around, without much thought to the feelings of the women they're fucking over. Those men are what we here at College Times like to call players. So, to save the females of the world a lot of time and heart ache, here's an idiots guide to spotting a player.
1) He's Extremely Good Looking.
Zac Efron, Chris Evans, Dave Franco; all good looking men that I would jump even if I was married with kids. A player is a guy that's self-obsessed. His hair, teeth, skin, and just about everything is too perfect. He looks like a Barbie on heroin. Don't be blinded by his glistening abs. Run away immediately.
2) He's Over Confident.
It's great to see people that are confident and comfortable in their own skin. But if he comes up to you and asks you to leave with him without even asking your name, that's your queue to give him the finger...or something more ladylike, that's your call.
3) He Flirts With Everything That Moves.
Having a bit of banter in a relationship is good. Flanter keeps the spark alive. But as soon as you see him make flirty eye-contact with another woman, you slap him in the face and kick him where it hurts.
4) He's Flaky With Going Out.
He cancels last minute, or invites you out last minute. Both A-1 signs he is an A-1 player.
5) He Disappears And Doesn't Reply.
It would be a miracle if he actually answered his fucking phone. You could be ringing him for days and it will always go to voice mail. Where is he, you ask? With another girl, obvi.
6) He's Sketchy About Past Girls.
When you ask about past girlfriends in his life and he says vague stuff like, "She was alright." or "I don't know her". Red alert, RED ALERT.
7) He Can't Remember Anything About You.
"You like tuna, right?" No, no I do not. Simple things like your birthday or what colour your eyes are shouldn't be that difficult to remember. If he doesn't, then his attention is elsewhere or he is trying to keep track of another woman too.
8) He's All About Sex.
A relationship with no sex is weird but if every time he comes over he only wants to try get into your granny knickers, chances are he's a player.
9) He's Mysterious (And Not In The Good Way).
Mystery is exciting at the start of a relationship but when you've been dating a few months and he hasn't invited you or even spoken to you about family events, he's obviously bringing some other bitch that's higher on his list than you, sorry.
10) He Won't Let You Use His Phone.
Everyone is entitled to a little bit of privacy. And no girlfriend should be looking through their fellas phone because there should be mutual trust there. But if he is quicker than a fat kid at a food fest whipping up his phone when it buzzes, I'd be worried.
11) He Never Wants To Spend The Weekend With You.
For players, weekends are the time to go out and to find yourself another lady to treat like absolute shit. I'd be smelling bullshit if he says he's spending every weekend with "the bros".
