Six ways to tell a prince from a player

By Debbie Magids, Ph.D.

It’s hard to meet men, let alone a good man, so when you find someone you connect with and hormones fly, it’s easy to lose direction and difficult to know whether he’s a prince or player.

By definition, a prince is the nice guy you probably rejected in high school – 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 guy you dated or longed to date 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 darn 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 favorite 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 from soup to nuts right away – dozens of the most expensive bouquets “just because,” going to the most expensive restaurants from the beginning, and other similar extravagances. He’s looking for a quick payoff.

Girlfriend, 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!

**Lozgod** · 08-07-2004, 06:20 PM

Well I guess I am not a prince because I do the opposite of all of that. The funny thing is the ladies love me more for it.

Thank God I am not a prince, otherwise I might still be a virgin.

**cpt steele** · 08-07-2004, 06:53 PM

Barb hun...This way off base the first thing you want tod o to a women is send flowers after a date, when your trying to get rid of them. If I have been in a relationship or been dating a particular girl for maybe a month or 2 these statements she made or points are the tools I use to get rid of them. Women men people all want a comodity in life its a proven social dynamic, so when a guy is easy to get and no other women wants hiim he is not going to get any girl.

On a different note why does our society say to men we have to do these things to be the nice guy. What are women doing to win my heart? Bring me chocolates? What we all seem to forget is it is a primal instinct that truly drives us all, so with stating that I as a man have the instinct to reproduce as many females as possible. To further back this up men are the ones that need to screen if women are worthy, not the other way around. I screen all potentials thoroughly in the conversation when we meet, I decide if she is a head case if she is neat clean has some sort of values (like not waking up in the middle of the night to steal my wallet) and I go from there. Now did I miss a point oh I never check to see if she is interested, she just is because Im screening not her.

I think I may have strayed from the point, but let it be known if a man suplicates a women he is done over he is thrown away like an emotional tampon

I TOTALLY AGREE.

I can pick and choose my mamas ... I have found what I want... for now. She represents everything I want. I dont know if I do for her .. I doubt it, but, if not, Im gone, just like if she isnt ... shes gone.

Im picky, and now too .. I have strayed off the point .. but then again...

I AGREE BRO.

**Commando_Barbi** · 08-07-2004, 07:05 PM

No kidding.

Only reason I included the Ph.D. part was I didn't want to be accused of taking credit for someone else's work.

I simply found it intersting since in several threads we were discussing the postive and negative aspects of giving extravagant gifts, etc.
