I just read the main page and frankly I'm not impressed. If I go around scamming little old ladies and then post a website about it admitting what a tool I am, does that really make it ok? Probably not the best comparison but it was all I could come up with on the spot. To be fair I should try and read the rest of his site which might have some value.
All that said; I have to defend some guys who become "players", or at least adapt a bit of that mentality. While I'm not really one myself, I do feel I need to become one in order to get any sexual attention from females. Would I prefer it? No, I'd rather have a relationship where I'm 100% open and honest. I'd rather acquire such a relationship by being open and honest 100%. But the chance of that happening are akin to the chance of monkey's flying out of my butt. I have to be somewhat of a "player" lest I get shut out of the game entirely. I don't condone men who ♥♥♥♥♥ + chuck a lot of women, in fact I think they are pricks. But the average guy who learns some of said man's tactics to avoid being taken advantage and rejected by women? That's perfectly understandable. The alternative is to be celibate. I guess women who deride player tactics would prefer 90% of men remain celibate while they share the 10% of alpha males of their choosing. Yea, sounds like a fair arrangement to me! Certainly women will deny thinking such, but that's the subtext behind their derision of players.
