Six Ways To Tell A Prince From A Player by Ama(f): 3:51pm On Mar 30, 2006
I SAW THIS ON THE INTERNET AND THOUGHT I WOULD SHARE WITH THE LADIES.

By definition, a prince is the nice guy who you probably rejected when you were sixteen — the keeper — the one interested in marriage and who will treat you the way you deserve to be treated. The player, on the other hand, is the boy you lusted over in high school. He’s the one who’s suave and sexy and knows it. He’s the one with all the right moves, none of them putting your interests first. And yet, he’s so very attractive.

Here are six features that will help you tell a prince from a player.

A prince calls when he says he will. A player has a long list of excuses as to why he couldn’t call.

A prince puts you first. A player puts everything but you first — work, golf, drinking, friends, you name it.


A prince wants to meet your family and friends and wants you to meet his (when he sees the relationship is moving forward). A player may take you out with his friends (or bring his friends along on your date, depending how you view it), even on the first date. Consider this a clear sign that dating you has little to do with building a relationship. As for family, don’t plan on meeting them.

A prince invests time in you — taking time to find out your favourite song, dessert, etc., a sign of his falling for you. A player puts forth little effort to really get to know you.

A prince is the one who will hand-deliver chicken soup when you’re sick. A player is the one who will be way too busy to see you when you’re sick because it won’t be any fun for him.

A prince will romance you slowly, bringing you a single flower or bouquet when the time is right, sending a romantic card, or going someplace fancy for dinner to celebrate something special. A player will romance you in a blaze of extravagance — with dozens of the most expensive bouquets “just because,” going to the most expensive restaurants from the beginning, and other similar extravagances. He’s basically looking for a quick payoff.
Beware: If it seems too good to be true, it probably is! If you’re caught up in a whirlwind romance, remember, tornadoes sweep in, wreak havoc, and disappear as quickly as they came. Slow and steady really does win the race!

Now players have gotten really sophisticated and can do all of the above "prince-like" actions, (maybe not the meeting the family part) but they still end up playing you anyway. They are players and can play the game really well. Sure, they'll call you when they say they will but that doesn't mean that the other woman isn't call waiting on the other line or that when he brings you chicken soup, he didn't tell the other woman that he will be back in a sec. Sure, they will put in effort o get to know you and romance you slowly. They know if they did it any other way, you would see through their game. Then all too late when you have fallen in love with them, you realize that they were players after all.

Re: Six Ways To Tell A Prince From A Player by funloving(m): 1:42pm On Jul 17, 2007
So what exactly is wrong with being a player  cool

As long as he did not promise you marriage and he did not go around saying he loves you what is the problem. When he gives up on you, you give up on him and both of you move on

Don't get me wrong, I am not in support of the player lifestyle, partly because my faith is against pre-marital sex and partly because  you can pick up all sort of diseases, unwanted pregnancy and lots of players are liars but if he did not lie to you and protection was used, somebody wants to tell me what the whole "aggro" against player  is all about ?

Now I am sure somebody will call for my head  grin

nice write up.



If it seems too good to be true, it probably is!

quite right.



Now players have gotten really sophisticated and can do all of the above "prince-like" actions, (maybe not the meeting the family part) but they still end up playing you anyway. They are players and can play the game really well. Sure, they'll call you when they say they will but that doesn't mean that the other woman isn't call waiting on the other line or that when he brings you chicken soup, he didn't tell the other woman that he will be back in a sec.

couldnt have said it any better.

@op
the truth is that even though they ladies see all the sign
they tend to look the other way looking for the player

the average nigerian woman is carried away by extravagance and flashy things
only those who know their worth can truely differentiate between a prince and a player

i can't blame the guys though, many of us have been rejected in the past because we have nothing
now when you have arrived being a player seems so alluring except you have exceptional self control

i have seen two ladies leave their prince charming of over 5yrs plus to get married to other men just because he has
not arrrived yet,
i repeat only a woman with high self esteem and personal worth can see the difference, otherwise forget it
them ladies love the player more than they love the prince.

many girls don use their husbands take do boyfriend
and use their boyfriends take do husbands.

Op, your analysis is for you and you only,every girl determines her prince and player.we live on the bitter side of reality where girls{at least many not all though} prefer the players. And who told you a prince cant be admired{or as you put it 'lust'for}by girls?my point is your definition of a prince and a playa in this context is simply in your own perspective,because a playa can come as your prince charming! Every girl knows what she wants in her guy whether prince or playa. My own definition of a playa is a prince but not in your vision of a playa or a prince as the case may be.
