how cute

I love these girls so much.

It was so cute to see Tatum grab Dalila's leg and later Nikki tap Gloria's thigh. So damn cute. I wish I knew a group of women like this.

Yay for afterellen.com.

Gloria - "I can smell them." Haha!

I heart Nikki =] & everything she says - "Is that an option?!" Lol!

For the first time, I actually agreed with something Tatum said =|
EDIT: Then she came out with the "Well, if she's hot..." stuff again. *sigh*

But yes, I look forward to my weekend just a little bit more cos of you guys =D

wowwowowowowowow

I can also smell a player from a mile away. Players are people who are insecure with themselves and feel validated by trying to conquer others sexually or emotionally. I dont find them alluring not one bit and their lack of respect for others emotions makes me want to vomit. Players usually are really good at making you feel like their are so attentive and they always say what they feel you want to hear...they are good at picking up at ur weaknesses.

 

 

 

Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, "Hm i think ill squeeze those dangly things and drink whatever comes out."

Playa, Playa, Please!!!

A good playa' is fun if that's what you want, but be careful not to get caught up by falling in love. This is a good way to get your heart broken.

SHOULD YOU CHOOSE TO PROCEDE; DO SO WITH CAUTION!!!!

Don't Have a Playa Bone in my Bod

I was such a playa toy in college.  Well through my junior year.  Then I wised up. Heh.  I fell for every line, every maneuver.  Hook, line and sinker.  It did play with my heart, but for the most part I emerged smarter and stronger. 

I don't care for those machinations today and while I can't spot them a mile away, I know within a few minutes that I am being worked. There's a certain energy that accompanies a playa. It's just draining to me now on the rare occasion I actually go out.

Playas Are Sometimes Needed....

I always enjoy the segments.  They say things that my friends and I discuss all the time or at some point thought about. 

I personally don't see anything wrong w/ players as long as everyone knows what's up.  They have the power of making a person feel good...even if it's temporary.

 At any rate, Play on Playa!!

I'm not a player either......

but I have dated a lot of women and fell in love with many of them.

Tatum, I am the old gal from the NW that sent you an email on myspace and would like to get to know you better. Is that considered a player in your book?

Come up and hike with me some time lady!

Loved the vlog as usual you ladies come up with some awsume topics. Happy 4th

Don't want temporary

I fooled around with someone who I would consider a playa when I was in my late teens early twenties.  The whole "relationship" was a hot mess.  The time you do get to spend with the person is brief and in the end not totally fulfilling.  The person does not respect you because if she did she would not want anyone to think less of you in any way.  If you feel that all you deserve is to be treated well temporarily than may be you need to do some self reflecting.

Gloria you are so d... funny.  You make the show a little more light and not so serious.  That is one of the reasons why the four of you look so comfortable around each other. One of the reasons I love this show. Thank You. Love Ya'll!!!!!!!

Reference to Hats...

Was it just me, or did anyone else notice that immediately after Tatum references "player hats", the camera shifts and zooms in on Nikki, who was the only person in the vlog wearing a hat. I couldn't help but laugh.

 

Is Nikki a player? She could be. Who knows.

I know from experience I can't date players because I get too emotional involved. I have flings, but typically and ironically they are with nice people. It's the mysterious manipulative types that make me fall hard.

Good vlog! This has to be one of my favorite ones. Very insightful.

Great episode!

Thanks for making these! I am a fan :) Personally, I would love to see you talk more about topics around coming to terms with your sexuality, labels (lesbian/ bi) etc. Keep up the great work!

Smile ;)'s picture

I love hats lol!

I don't think I am a player although I have been called a player at times.

Warning for players stay away from identical twins it can totally screw up and they can gang up on you... bad news.

I honestly don't mean to be - if I approach someone i am genuinely attracted to them...just sometimes I am attracted in a few directions...

I recently became attracted to someone but I was worried that they were trying to "root and recruit" me into thier political party - activism good coersion bad

in love with an Asexual

 

Dear Cherry Bomb,

Have you ever fallen for a straight girl and just couldn't let yourself give the thought of a relationship with said girl up?

Well that’s the situation I've found my self in, though instead of the girl I pretty much NEED to be around being straight, it's worse, she's asexual. (Doesn't like men or women as anything more than friends)

It's been two years since I let her know how I felt and we still remain a semblance of a friendship but I don't know how long I can just be her friend nor do I think I can manage not knowing her at all. What should I do?

game recognize game, Granddad.

Yeah I love watchin players try to pick up on women..The Lean, The Eyebrow raise, the 'lemme getchu anotha drink, mi'lady.' Always hilarious.

yeah and i had a girlfriend (i guess) that none of my friends liked. We stayed together for like, 2 weeks. she was a lameface.

But yeah. Players. I don't think it's being a player if you're honest up front about not wanting anything serious. You've been truthful, so. Eh? But if you're running around on several different women then yeah. You're triflin.

 

I got a dick like a mule...with a big dick.

flirt

i mean i flirt with every girl in the bar... But i don't go home with them..

N i mean i was attached and then reattached without ever being single... is that bad??

i wont go home with a girl on the first night... so i am deffinitly not a playa...
whats the point in meaningless sex.. sorry i need some passion and some connection for things to get steamy...

empress dani's picture

seriously, stop

I haven't watched the video yet, so I won't comment on that (though I liked cherry bomb last time) - but you guys hitting on/asking Tatum out in comments are embarassing. Come on, seriously...do you think she trolls the comments looking for a date with some random internet fan?

Ahem. I swear I'm not crabby, that sort of thing just makes me cringe. It's like watching a pathetic comic dying on stage or someone embarassing themselves in a bar.

gingersmomspike's picture

hiking?

everyone is allowed an opinion but you do sound crabby and who I ask to go hiking with is none of your business! I may be forward but I am not embarassed to ask another hiker to come explore the NW and all it has to offer!

worth the hikeworth the hike

Cherry Bomb..

Once again I like this vlog. Players are uninteresting to me. I have no interest in being a player either.

Hank's picture

on being a player

I never wanted to be a player, but I do often wish I had that confidence..i asked my currect gf out through text message lol. I do tend to flirt though, but harmlessly. I don't really flirt at the bar, i just flirt at supermarkets or restaurants or soemthing. Flirting is fun.

 

I got a dick like a mule...with a big dick.

 Dalila is freaking sexy. she's a certified 10 in every way. beauty and brains plus a killer body (and the sexiest cleavage on the internet). i'm done making an ass outta myself.

I prefer the term 'public servant'..

Well, I think I'm one of the honest players. You ladies make it sound so terrible though. Everybody I know knows I date alot of women, the women know as well, it's just one of those unspoken truths. I wouldn't be that way if it wasn't necessary, it's the natural order of things. Women want a good time with a bad girl sometimes. I'm in the business of showing women how they should be treated so they wont settle for less. I don't take home a new lady every week, I put in real time. You'd be surprized how much some women appreciate it. There's a method to the madness. Someones gota do it ;)

sweeet

When you know better do better...

I think it is all about maturity and growth as a person.  Honestly, I was like Dalila I had my player days and it was fun although I was quite immature and thought of people as objects for my entertainment (could not see that then).  Not to make excuses but when your young and coming into yourself and suddenly you get all this attention it is very difficult to not get consumed by the hype (okay so that was an excuse--sorry).

Fortunatley, I snapped out of all that and learned how game playing really hurts people so I found better ways to have fun.  I learned alot from the experience and it really taught me how to value people.
