Originating from lyrics in Ice-T's song "Don't Hate the Playa", it was taken as a motto by the Pick-Up/Seduction community as a way of saying "don't hate the guy who's using seduction technics, hate the system that made him do it".

It is both a justification and critic of the men-women social (and some would say biological) dynamics, that entices men (and sometimes women) learning and using highly elaborate methods, sometimes seen as manipulation or social engineering technics, for the main purpose of seducing a women (or man).

It is often justified as a mean to one's end by the argument that "women are wired either biologically or socially such a way that, you HAVE to follow or use particular steps or methods, either naturally or by learning them, in order to seduce a women". Some people going further argument that "women have no choice in the way their brain and emotion are biologically wired, meaning they have no choice in the way they respond to men and seduction, so men have sometimes no choice but to apply these seductions methods of which the practice is called The Game".
- "Man you really played hard to get with this girl"
- "Well don't hate the player, hate the game"

Rule 64 states that the act of "bragging" about female "conquests" is disallowed. This is due to the negative global image such a depravity places on the art, as well as the decrease in social worth for the individual as those who are extremely successful feel no need to broadcast the fact.

Josh: "Im'a call you "Bitchy" if you don't shut up. Rule 64 of the Player's Rulebook. You obviously never get any. Bitchy"

Hate the player

1. Not the game. The game may be unfair, but it is unfair for everybody. it is not the fault of the game that humans are infinitely fallible creatures who will seek to take advantage of its loopholes at every opportunity. Every person has a choice whether to engage in ethical behavior or not. One can take the easy way out, but there are no free passes for doing so.

2. If certain people have advantages, it still does not give them the right to abuse them. As a society, we have responsibilities to each other, to lift each other up rather than tear each other down. At heart, we are all capable of good, but too often we choose to see things in a zero-sum, win-lose dichotomy where the only thing that matters is getting ahead, and blaming the system is a convenient out. Using the system as an excuse is like saying the system allows us to buy guns, therefore you can’t be held responsible for murdering someone.

3. Your anger at a certain person for cheating or otherwise engaging in unscrupulous or immoral behavior is totally justified. Do not take it lying down, and don’t let them make excuses, you are worth far more than that.

4. Inversion of the popular idiom “Don’t hate the player, hate the game”.
People always tell me to hate the game, but the game didn’t wrong me, the game didn’t force people to do anything but exercise their own ethical judgement. Therefore, I reserve my right to hate the player.

Don't be mad at someone/something because they weren't the one that made you upset or hurt in the first place.
Ex. somebody cheating on someone, somebody losing a basketball game, etc.
Player 1: Girlfriend
Player 2: Boyfriend
Player 3: Side-Chick

Player1: * walks in on Player 2&3 having an affair *
" What the heck is going on here and who is this? "

Player 2: " Oh shoot, baby I am so sorry. "

Player 3: " Who is this!! Are you his girlfriend or something? "

Player 1: " Yes actually I am. Did you know that we were dating?"

Player 3: " No! He told me he was single and that he loved me,"

Player 1: " Well, that's ok. I don't hate the player, hate the game!! "
