Can't relate to the men you describe, brother, but to be honest I've never been a player and never gonna be either (happily married with a baby on the way :) )
But I just wanted to appreciate you for your craft and the way you told some harsh truths without being disrespectful- the empathy in your voice really comes through.
Congratulations on the new opportunities coming your way in life- I hope we don't completely lose you here on Medium.
