Is being a player really that bad?

Anonymous
I've always wondered why players have such a negative reputation. Women especially seem to hate players and the games that they play in order to get the upper hand, but I actually have a lot of respect for players because they utilize situation to their advantage.

Most women seem to seek attention and validation from men, so if a player comes along and gives that attention and validation to a girl for his own gain, then what's the problem? She's getting what she wants and he is getting what he wants. Is it his fault that the woman falls hook, line and sinker for his charming manner? Is it his fault that she will have sex with him and then try and place him in the confines of a relationship?

Now plenty of women play games, so if a player wins the battle of games, then surely the girl should just accept that she got outclassed by the better person and admire his gamesmanship.

What do you think? Are players really that bad?
