In practice, "player" is normally used to apply to men, but the term can just as easily be applied to women, as there are players of both genders. There are two main types of players, short and long term players, these two types are only different by their goals. They practice in much the same way using deception and using romantic attachment are feelings to their advantage to get what they want.

Short term players are individuals who are generally after "marking the bed post" in having as many sexual partners as possible. They often are known to brag about this number, even telling their partner what number they are after the deed.

Long term players are individuals who generally sleep with the same few sexual partners for years, and use their romantic attachment for a place to stay, or other essential items.

According to stereotype, the player is the individual whose seduction skills and sexual attractiveness are exceptional to have multiple sex partners simultaneously. Furthermore, a player chooses to have multiple sex partners during the same time frame. This stereotype is often a less negative then it arguably should be. This positive social spin of a common problem, contributes to this allowing this deceptive, scamming culture to breed in our society.
