Do you think there is a difference between a flirt and a player?

Do you think there is a difference between a man who is a player and a man who is a flirt and charmer or are they basically the same thing?

There is a BIG difference by my definition..I consider that I flirt constantly..whether online or not..but my flirting does not consist of sexual suggestions...but rather sending lots of smiles & hearts, "hugs & kisses" comments and occasionally a more lightly sexual reference...what people call a player on here seems to be more what I call a "womanizer" Womanizers are usually (if not always) pathological liars..and what they mainly do is juggle women so they can have sex with at least three or four women concurrently.

Okay so what if a guy is saying a lot of sexual things? At that point he's probably not just flirting anymore?

Well..in my generation...we used to call that "hustling" trying to pick you up...

[Asker]

Well basically if he's saying sexual things and giving you "the eye", he probably does have intentions and isn't just teasing anymore?

That would be my assessment...I mean..for my entire lifetime..I will run into a female on occasion that I cannot tear my eyes away from...but that is yet different from interaction/flirting...a whole separate situation...

Yes there's a difference. A flirt is not necessarily a player...but players always flirt. Take me for example...I'm a huge flirt...but I respect a woman's wishes and don't try to rush her in to anything...a player doesn't have the same set of manners and will use her and lose her. Big difference.

a flirt is harmless.,all talk, no action

a player is all action

If a guy is a big flirt, how much do you think he'll flirt without having any intentions of taking it further?

QA that is a very good question..but..I am not sure if anyone can answer that one...):
