Don't hate the player hate the game

If someone (the player) is good at something (the game),
don't hate them for it, hate the thing they are good at, because you
arent good at or even in the game.
The word player used in this sentence can be confused with the
sexual definition of a player.

Because its hard to believe that you shouldnt hate a player for being a player when it says
dont hate the player hate the game; how exactly are you supposed to hate
objectifying women for your own profit?
This has nothing to do with 'players' or 'player hating' and 'dont hate the player' is NOT a reasonable excuse to sleep around with more women than you need.
This phrase has a very specific meaning that relinquishes the actual player of wrong doing not because they're doing it to survive because that is just the way 'the game' is played.
What is 'the game'; the game is us. People. Playing each other every day all day long and thats just the way it is.
I think what makes a guy
carrying on relationships with different women as being seen by some as excessive, ridiculous and rude but some guys find that when they are with a woman she is distant and uninterested, bossy but if they're into another woman its another story about what's 'expected' of them when
all they want is just to -be- ...on the side of men and women, we've both done alot of damage to either side.
( Women were never meant to be a playground for conquering and pleasure but they're own person, next to the man as we need them both to procreate but America should have said yes to gay marriage no questions asked. Problem is churches giving large donations to government institutions enough to actually threaten to pull funding if they don't get their way.)
Example:
Two guys are playing poker and Guy A has
Two Pair and Guy B has nothing with a straight on the river potentially between them.
Guy A Bets.
Two pair is a good hand.
Guy B bets. Has nothing. (Bluff)
Guy A bets again just to check.
Guy B raises.
Guy A Folds.
Guy B doesn't have to show his hand. In fact Guy A can ask but Guy B doesnt' have to say at all. But lets say Guy A asks Guy B what his hand was and finds out he
bluffed. Lets say
Guy B's never played poker before and never met someone that had LIED to him before and thought that since they were buds they would play fair.
This is a situations where he could say
don't hate the player hate the game. Because the end that's just the way the game is played.
However, it was the player that took it on themselves to play the game that way as opposed to playing fairly with friends but the end result is that's just the way the game is played. The player is basically taking advantage of the rules however that kind of play is not for everyone. Therefore, hate the game, for having rules that allow those chinks, and not the player.
This example extends to the real world in tiny and small ways. Its anything that is perfectly
legimitate deemed as legitimate between a group of people that a smaller group of people can not handle but a certain group can. It doesnt have to mean that something illegal is being done. Whats seen as meant by 'player' but that 'player' could be any of us.
Don't hate the player, hate the game

Ex 1:
If the game is forced on the individuals required to "play" it... Such as war or an area in conflict etc. Using tactics to win or survive may not always
be fair or morally right. In this instance, hating the player is useless and the quotes logic seems to ring true. This also covers situations where the rules say you can do certain things, the rules are followed and the other players just don't like that you are able or competent at
taking advantage of and succeeding at the game.
However...
Ex 2:
If the game is not forced, there is no situation requiring life threatening survival choices or there was not agreement to start a game with certain parameters .. This saying is used to absolve someone of the act of wrong doing to another by convincing either or both the
perpetrator and victim that there was no other choice.
Fairness, rules , laws and social norms seem to get
lumped into this version of the definition and it's implied that the victim is wrong for holding the perpetrator responsible for their actions. More specifically, calling life a game and using this quote to avoid responsibility for being unfair,
deceitful or cheating on purpose and existing outside laws, rules and social norms.
Example:
Don't hate the player, hate the game.
Ex 1:
We were at war, I did what I had to do. Don't hate me, hate that our country had to
go to war.
Ex 2:
We work in an office with no cameras and loose rules on handling theft. Don't
hold me responsible for stealing your things, hate the office for letting me get away with it.
Don't hate the player, hate the game

Originating from lyrics in
Ice-T's song "Don't Hate
the Playa", it was taken as a motto by the Pick-Up/
Seduction community as a way of saying "don't hate the guy who's using seduction
technics, hate the system that made him do it".
It is both a justification and critic of the men-women social (and some would say biological) dynamics, that entices men (and sometimes women) learning and using highly elaborate methods, sometimes seen as manipulation or social engineering technics, for the main purpose of seducing a women (or man).
It is often justified as a mean to one's end by the argument that "women are wired either biologically or socially such a way that, you HAVE to follow or use particular steps or methods, either naturally or by learning them, in order to seduce a women". Some people going further argument that "women have no choice in the way their brain and emotion are biologically wired, meaning they have no choice in the way they respond to men and seduction, so men have sometimes no choice but to apply these seductions methods of which the practice is called The Game".

Don't be mad at someone/something because they weren't the one that made you upset or hurt in the first place.
Ex. somebody
cheating on someone, somebody
losing a basketball game, etc.
Example:
Player 1: Girlfriend
Player 2: Boyfriend
Player 3:
Side-Chick
Player1: * walks in on Player 2&3 having an affair *
" What the heck is going on here and who is this? "
Player 2: " Oh shoot, baby I am so sorry. "
Player 3: " Who is this!! Are you his girlfriend or something? "
Player 1: " Yes actually I am. Did you know that we were dating?"
Player 3: " No! He told me he was single and that he loved me,"
Player 1: " Well, that's ok. I don't
hate the player,
hate the game!! "
