How come my friends are falling for these players?

[Carol]

Players have confidence. Girls like confidence. Players get girls and become more confident. It can be an endless cycle.

But a guy can be confident and not be a player. It all depends on his morals and values. And sometimes girls can look through a player's confidence and see him as a shallow person.

As a girl, I may be initially attracted to "players" but I rationally know that's not the type of guy I'm looking for. I wait for the confident ones who aren't players.
