If it's a boy, he's a 'player' or whatever the phrase is.
Can anyone else see the moronity in this?
[color=66ff00]Actually it's due to deeply ingrained animal instinct that this convention has come about.
Females are the chased, males are the chasers thus males who get a lot of females are just doing what comes naturally and females who get a lot of males are defying the natural order of things. Strangely in our pretty non sexist culture (relatively speaking of course) this convention still is pretty much law. When was the last time you got hit on by a girl?
It's still the male's place to go after the female thus males that do this are successful and females that do this and defy convention are given a rather nasty name when in fact they're the ones who are working on a much more equal basis with males than the others who demand equal status but still demand the chase.
I find it mildly humourous but you can't win unless you're playing.
