I can understand women being intimidated by a man pursuing his many options.
However, men should strive to be a player, or at least have the opportunity to be one. Those who denounce this are simply jealous. Players are not evil people that are harming society.

As humans, we respect craftsmanship and people who master it. Being a player requires skill , since you need to self-improve to get there. You need to be in shape, decent looking, have really good social skills and signal high status, while being good at organizing and time management to keep the roster entertained.

It is laughable seeing the men in here moralizing and making an argument for why 'studs are trash', while those are simply dating in the same way as the women they want in their life, namely from an attitude of abundance.
It is also funny that it is stated, that dating was better back in the days, while back in time men respected players and tried their best to become one too.

Of course some guys are blessed naturally with good looks and charme, but most of us are not. This will make it harder for you, but taking a positive perspective it means you got more to improve on, which will make dating feel like more of an achievement to the average guy.

Of course many guys would be happy with only one woman, but once you are good with women, you will commit because you want to. Many guys get into relationships, because they feel like they have to.
