Firstly, I just want to second the point that this is way too interesting for, what, a fifth-level recursion?
Secondly:
One recipe for being a player is to go after lower-status (less-attractive) people, fulfill their romantic needs with a mix of planned romance, lies and bravado, have lots of sex, and then give face-saving excuses when abandoning them.
Is this … a winning strategy? In any real sense?
I mean, yes, it’s easier to sleep with unattractive people. But you don’t want to sleep with unattractive people. That is what “attractiveness” refers to—the quality of people wanting you [as a sexual/romantic partner, by default.]
Now, the fact that it then becomes easy for attractive psychopaths to create relationships for nefarious purposes is … another matter.
But I’m confused as to why you see the choices as “player, but unethical” or “non-player, but good”. Surely you want to be a “player” who has sex with people you are actually attracted to?
