Why may they be players (see: pigs) simply because the "game" already exists? That's dangerous thinking, there.

can you explain your stance a bit more accurately I'm having trouble following you here. I want to make sure I understand you.

You're deflecting. No woman has ever cheated on you?
you are forgetting 90% of the population wouldn't make a move on a woman who was completely single. Thats too much credit most wouldn't make a move if she was laying down on their bed.
Then in subscribing to the rules of the "game", are the "players" not agreeing to the "hate" that comes with it?

Oh! Sure. I was saying that it shouldn't be acceptable for "players" to act the way they do simply because the "game" already exists. I could spew out a stupid analogy, but I know those bug the crap out of people, and they usually don't work as well as I wish them to.
Basically, I hate on the player, and not so much the game.

Do you like the free market? Relationships can follow a free market model too. If she's happy with her current boyfriend, she has no need to see what the market offers. So if you make advances, she might not be interested in your goods, so to speak.
So much of what males in any species do is to reduce competition. Many male-dominated human societies try to keep women subservient, and less likely to feel that they even can "shop around" for their ideal mate. That means that whoever they're with doesn't need to stay competitive - it's an artificial market cap. The service being provided is being a good husband/boyfriend. If the woman isn't free to browse the market, she'll settle for what she's got - she's got no choice. The man benefits because then he can be lazy, and be less than ideal.
The same happens in a regular market without competition. A company with effectively captive customers, such as cable companies, has little reason to innovate. Cable Internet for example: let's say you're in the middle of nowhere, and can't get good satellite reception. What's your option for broadband Internet? Your local cable provider. Sure they might charge $200/month, and only offer 512kbps service with constant packet loss, but hey, what else can you do? It's not like they've got incentive to maintain their network or lower prices.
Similarly, in relationships - if either party feels stuck in the relationship, there's no incentive to stay competitive. But if the market is open for both, they'd best stay competitive, or else a breakup will result.
What I'm trying to get around to saying, which hopefully has come through by now: Guys don't like other guys hitting on their girlfriends, because the guy in the relationship has to make sure he works hard enough to keep her happy, or else she might take her business elsewhere.
As I've said in another forum:
"Yes, that's right, I've reduced relationships to simple economics, wanna fight about it?"
lol this is tooo deep for me. In caveman days it was irrelevant what player haters said or did. The player already knocked up the player haters women. Further producing another generation of caveman with stronger dominant dna. This process came to almost a halt with the creation of religion and marriage etc. Know the stronger dominant dna has less chance to propogate with all the social consturcts in place. THis IS the result of player haters!
I'd like to think I wouldn't hit on a girl with a boyfriend. I know I wouldn't like it if someone hit on my girl.

It is her and her relationship, not the other male, that is the problem.

I'm not quite sure I follow... You mean that it's the womans fault for straying from the relationship? I agree with that, if that's what you're saying.
All I'm saying is that it's still not cool for men to be jerk-offs about relationships they're not involved with.
Believe you me, I'd be 95% pissed at her, and maybe 5% pissed at the dude.
