A noun to describe a male who is skilled at manipulating ("playing") others, and especially at seducing women by pretending to care about them, when in reality they are only interested in sex. Possibly derived from the phrases "play him for a fool", or "play him like a violin". The term was popularized by hip-hop culture, but was commonly recognized among urban American blacks by the 1970s.

Players can be male or female. They are usually slick, dress nicely and are very charming.
They prey on people socially usually looking for sex or money. They have a way of befriending people and making them feel important, before they use them to their own ends.

Usually a boy who makes you feel special. He makes you feel like you are the only girl in his life, when really you are just one in 100.
They flirt with other people, not just you. They talk to you all day, then the next day they ignore you. They send you mixed messages, and your not sure whether he likes you or not?
You can't keep your mind off him, even though you know your nothing to him.
