How And Why Women Get Played By Men Part 1—"Women who get played by men aren't "dumb" or "inexperienced". Smart women get played all the time… and not because the guy is bright or smooth... but because his bullsh*t story has enough tangible possibility for it to be believable. Moreover, these "guy players" aren't useless men... they watch and wait — predators of a sort — and fill a specific need that a woman is looking for. And not just any need… a core need she wants filled: sex, affection, security, attention, freedom, romance, etc. Once that need begins being filled, she starts ignoring the glaring red flags of his other behavior. And because his romantic repertoire is meager (at best), he begins dropping back and/or not fulfilling her other critical wants/needs... but her initial core need is still being met. This is a dangerous death spiral for her self-esteem, as she begins wondering why he's filling one but not the rest... so she "must not be worth it.""-Charles J. Orlando
