8 players every woman should know


We have all heard about players. We may have been seeing somebody who had another somebody on the side. But are all players the same, and what is it exactly they are looking for? Well, below are some of the types of players we most probably didn’t know.

1.      The Insecure Player: He enjoys having many women around him. It shoots up his confidence, and makes him feel good about himself. To him, having a lot of women makes him feel more desirable.

2.      The Searching Player: This one is supposedly searching for the ‘perfect woman’. He casually dates so many women at a time, but really commits to none. He is never quality satisfied.

3.      The Playful Player: Somehow like the searching player, but he’s just in for the fun. This player is not ready to deal with the stress or drama that comes with dating, and also not ready to be alone. His usual relationships are those with no strings attached.

4.      The Arrogant player: He feels he is entitled to many women. After all, he is really handsome and accomplished, and the perfect catch. Every woman will die to have him and sadly in most cases, this is true. He runs around being chased by a flock of women, so definitely, it would have to be on his terms.

5.      The Greedy Player: This is just a greedy man who is never satisfied with one woman. He wants them all; tall, short, dark, light-skinned—every one of them.

6.      The Vengeful Player: This one had his heart broken, and is now taking it out on all women. He is a strong believer of the ‘all women are the same’ mantra.

7.      Player by legacy: This is the kind with a tall family history of players. His grandfather most probably was a player, his father had many women, he himself is women-endowed, and hopes his son will be just as good if not better.

There is however a new addition to the players club who is just fascinating. We are yet to figure out why he does what he does. He is called the Intellectual Player.

8.      The Intellectual/ Smart Player: Believe you me this one is very smart. He treats you so good you would not realize you are being played. He gives you the special treatment that makes you feel like you are the one. He doesn't ask for anything. All he wants is to be there for you.

He is naturally intelligent, and general knowledge is his strong suit. On your pursuit for knowledge, he will be your tour guide. You’ll find yourself talking to him each day, sharing your innermost thoughts to which he can obviously relate. He is also very patient, or rather very calculating, and bids his time perfectly until he earns your trust.

The list is not exhaustive, so feel free to drop in the comment box below any player type you know that is not mentioned. We’d also love to hear your thoughts on this.

Rape Is Not Just Sex. It Is a Crime of Power and You Don’t Tell Victims To ‘Just Get Over It.’

Photo Credit: Vox.com What most people do not understand is that rape is not something you just ‘get over’. No, it does not work that way. When the choice of consent is snatched from beneath you, it is a violation of not just your body but your mind too. Rape, is like a robbery in which something is taken forcefully from you with every unconsented thrust. Yet unlike robbery where items taken can be replaced, rape takes away parts of you that can never be replaced, only learned to live with. When a person is raped, it isn’t just the body that has been invaded but also the mind. And this unwarranted invasion can lead to a thrashing of a person’s mental health. Walls get broken and victims without the right help and counselling may never get around to becoming who they used to be. Their present comes to a standstill and the future turns to gloom. Some dire psychological effects of this violation may even be that victims may be broken to such abysmal levels that they acce...

“I have been both a victim of sexual abuse and most recently, rape.” Read Maureen Alikor’s Story and Her Campaign on Demystifying Abuse.

Photo: Maureen Alikor On the 16th of November 2016, my door was forced open by armed robbers who immediately striped us of all our devices and valuables. Myself and a friend. With a gun to our head, we were commanded to strip. We did. Yes, we were raped at gun point. All our pleas fell on deaf ears as they had their way, and left. Few minutes later, mobile policemen and neighbors began to converge in their neighborly pattern; in twos and threes, with folded arms, solemn looks, bowed heads and pitiful eyes; with much “sorry” and “take heart” to give, and curses intended to follow the rapists/armed robbers. But soon they left in their trickles. Fast forward to the next morning, neighbors and sympathizers converged yet again, and started dishing out various kinds of words of encouragement and advice on what to do; ranging from taking my pants to prayer altars so as to lay curses on the culprits, to burying the panties thereby burying their destinies. Others said, to...

Sista Clinik’s Ultimate Heartbreak Playlist for Women Going Through a Breakup

Photo Courtesy: Lovepanky.com Warning: This could get depressing, but oh, what the heck?! The pain is real. Like that kind of pain you feel when you accidentally hit your finger whiles hammering a nail into a wall. Or when a heavy door slams into four of your fingers without warning. Or when your baby toe accidentally hits something hard and won’t stop hitting into things at the exact spot of first injury throughout the rest of the day. You get the picture. Heartbreak is pain plus sorrow plus anger plus a little bit (maybe a lot) of insanity. Sometimes it feels like breath is being squeezed out of you or that someone pulled a plastic bag over your head. Almost every woman has experienced heartbreak—some many times more than others. For those who go scarred deepest and in the most repetitive of ways, every day is an emotional struggle. Dealing with men becomes a task executed with extra precaution because every man becomes a suspect, only in this case, guilty unti...
