There are a couple different types of players but every player has a game. Players in the relationship game are the guys a lot of women are familiar with. These are the guys that give the good guys a bad rep. A lot of women have had so many bad experiences with these players that they've resolved that there aren't any good men. I beg to differ. All men are not the same. All men are not players. Every relationship player has his game and his player card. The card is what he resorts to when he is busted. The card is a major part of his game. Some men use the God card. When things get hot they resort to going to church or declaring that they are changing their life. Some players who play the God card will even go as far as going to the altar for prayer or getting involved in church activities. Another popular player card is the emotional card. When the player uses this card he plays on your emotions. Right on the heels of him getting busted some traumatic event happens in his life. Loss of job, family member or some mysterious illness are common parts of this game. You feel sorry for him and before you know it you've forgiven him again and you are right back in the relationship again.

 Step number one is to recognize your self worth. There are a lot of really great women involved in relationships with players. It's amazing! Ladies have to realize they deserve better. If you don't take a player's card away you are simply a member of his team. You are contributing to his game and you are disqualifying yourself from any meaningful and healthy relationship. The non player men who are out for a serious and healthy relationship will be reluctant to approach you as long as you are in the player game. They see you and walk away wondering why you are still playing the game. Ladies, when your player shows up today, take his card away.
