What is the difference between a player and a slut?

I was just reading a couple of trashy magazines the other day and I came across this article titled "The Female Player". Apparently a female player does not have sexual intercourse with her male consorts but instead, keeps them hanging around buying her gifts and expensive dinners hoping that the relationship will blossom into something more 'substantial' (depends on what you deem substantial these days - flesh or emotion?).

In today's confused feminist world where women wear suits and head large corporate companies, the issue of sex as applied to the independent female is still largely a gray area. Women head to male strip clubs in droves to assert that yes, they can enjoy the male form and completely objectify and sexualise the male anatomy 'just like what the boys have been doing to us!'. Yet, is it the thrill of humiliating the physically stronger sex into performing lewd and submissive acts like an over-muscled trained monkey? Or do women secretly want to be dominated, hence the allure of the naughty 'policeman' or 'firefighter'? I've never picked up a damn Mills and Boons / Barbara Cartland book in my life but I hear that strong well muscled men who are honest and kind i.e. upright morally conscious citizens are a recurring fantasy for uh, desperate housewives. Actually, I lie. The last time I picked up one of those novels was in year 14 when I read the beginning paragraphs of a classmate's trashy novel (His dark tan skin glistened in the sun, beads of sweat appearing across his forehead, long lustrous locks of thick black hair flying in the wind as he rode his horse across the valley) and I laughed my head off, much to her embarassment. Sadly to say, she never invited me to read any of her pink books ever again.

Note: Neither have I been to a male strip club. Talk about a prude prune. 

Dogwalker dude told me a story about how he was two months behind in rent and was close to being kicked out by his friendly housemates. This was way back when he was in his first year of uni. He had spent all his money on weed and alcohol and was completely off his face on drugs. Being a fit 18 year old Asian male, his friends suggested answering an ad on the internet for nude house-cleaning. He was probably high/desperate at the time, but he called the guy (yes, it was a guy) and arranged to meet.

So anyway to cut a long story short, he ended up vacuuming and mopping an elderly and overweight homosexual pervert's house for two hours dressed in only a red G-string. "He kept throwing money at me and asking me to bend over to pick up the cash. He had this assortment of weird toys that he kept trying to entice me to put in my arse." He counted roughly $400 in earnings for the deed.

Apparently the guy was going to pay him more if he agreed to a little more interactivity. Dogwalker told me the only interactivity going through his head at the time was his fist versus old man perv's jawline.
