The
Player Martini
As
always insight comes to me in the latest hour of the evening.
On this evening I was surrounded by an amazing group of
men and women. What made this group interesting was the
fact that, with 6 women and 4 men, none of them were having
sexual relations. The conversation was witty and hilarious,
with nothing was held back. There was no censoring because
the spouses/other halves were not present. However, there
was lots of harmless flirting taking place. The martini
that was getting consumed was also something that encouraged
the flirtation, and it was something that left nothing
held back
The
Player martini is a martini that leaves you wondering,
"What the hell just happened?" It is a cross
between Sourz sour apple, which can be just plain nasty,
and Vanilla Vodka, which is sweet but in a confusing type
of way. When you add some pineapple juice and lemon zest,
this martini really takes off and the finish leaves nothing
undone. Being true to its name, this martini is all about
the score.
Being that we were all consuming these intriguing martinis,
the conversation led to what is a true player? I was interested
in the response from the men and women, being that there
were a few players at the table; some admitted they were
players, and others were still in denial. But by the looks
that went around the table we all knew who was in denial.
Everyone agreed that there are both male and female players
and that the criteria for a player are the same regardless
of sex. A player has to be a very passionate person, with
a lot of self confidence. They are usually attractive
but not totally gorgeous. A male player is very charismatic
and a female player is very flirtatious. The players generally
love the opposite sex and are all about the chase, but
they are also all about how much sex they can score.
There
are two main types of players in the world. The first
is the asshole/bitch player: this is a person that works
the opposite sex with lots of attention and goes in for
what they want: sex. When they get it, they suddenly disappear.
No more phone calls, dates, nothing. They ditch the conquest
and move on to the next one. There is no subtle let down,
just the complete blow off. If you accidentally run into
them later they are polite but stand-offish and exit very
quickly, leaving the conquest wondering,

“What
the hell just happened?”
The
second type of player is the one that is A.D.D. (attention
deficit). This is a person that is actually very genuine,
but they just cannot get their shit together. They are
the ones that make the great first impression and then
ask you out, but call back later and cancel. They apologize
and say they will make it up to you, but then it happens
again. They say they are crazy busy, yet they are always
out doing something social. Their focus is scattered,
and when you are out with them they are scoping the
room for other people. If they can keep it together
enough to get some sex, then the aftermath is the definite
blow off.
This is usually
a slowly returned phone call or the "really busy"
excuse, which is generally because they are focusing
on something else! These are the players that do not
mean to cheat on their partners, but they cannot stop
looking. They leave the conquest wondering, "What
the hell is wrong with me?" or, "What did
I do wrong?"
Both of these types of players
come in the aware and denial versions. The aware versions
are slightly better because when they are confronted
they will admit to the conquest that they were just
in it for the sex. The denial version is not good; they
are the ones that when confronted make up some long
song and dance and leave the conquest feeling confused
and generally insecure. They are also the ones that
string the conquest along forever because they cannot
handle the confrontation of ending the sexual relationship,
so these are the ones that are usually caught on a date
with someone else.
Conclusion:
The Player martini
is a combination of a little bit nasty with something
confusingly sweet. Just like a person that plays for
sex. They are all about the "Score" and sometimes
they are nasty and don’t care about the other
person’s feelings. They just get the sex and move
on. Sometimes the person playing for sex is a little
confused and cannot focus on just one person. They are
sweet and inside they are confused, but they are also
all about the "Score". This martini can give
you great self confidence and it leaves you feeling
very flirtatious, but just remember that when you flirt,
if you don’t hold something back you might just
be another conquest for the Player. And being the score
is not the greatest finish.
