Player
Significado: A person who dates multiple people at once, often being dishonest about their intentions.
A player treats dating like a game they're trying to win. They charm multiple people simultaneously, make each one feel special, but are never truly committed to any of them. Players are smooth, experienced at deception, and often repeat the pattern. The term carries a strong negative connotation, implying dishonesty and emotional manipulation.
