Pretty much my own idea. :Nod:
Urban dictionary:

A male who is skilled at manipulating ("playing") others, and especially at seducing women by pretending to care about them, when in reality they are only interested in sex. Possibly derived from the phrases "play him for a fool", or "play him like a violin".

So more along the lines of Joe playing Juelia...using deception to get what he wants. In this case, a rose vs. getting into her pants.

I also think RS is jealous of the positive attention he is getting... JJ is popular right now and attracting women which RS would die for. Even if he'd never admit it.

ITA!

JJ was on After Paradise with James Gunn the creator, writer, director of Guardians of the Galaxy -- basically every guy's fan favorite movie from Marvel. And James Gunn called JJ a hero on the show and really liked JJ and he also tweeted JJ personally after the show saying JJ is a good man.

Doesn't have to mean anything, but that's cool, imo, to have support from well-known famous people whose movie made billions at the box office. This is not D-list celebrities or RS who makes a buck off of D-list celebrities , this is someone who is a who's-who in the biz :Nod: .

RS is always jealous of anyone who gets a lot of attention, imo. The guy could look like a troll and live like a troll but if he gets more attention than RS? RS doesn't care for him. jmo

I don't even know where RS said he didn't care for JJ? He was just answering reader questions if JJ/Julia had been hooking up, and he said no and elaborated on that. Never bad mouthed the guy. 

And, RS didn't even mention James Gunn in his article so he's probably not that excited about him or jealous that JJ got to meet him. I also just don't buy the jealousy argument - if he was just jealous of people that got more attention than him, Sean Lowe, Josh Murray, Ben H, Jason mesnick, Michelle money, Ali fedotowsky, etc would be at the top of his list, not JJ.

ETA: Okay, just Re-read his column, and in a different page, he did say that JJ didn't himself any favors on the after paradise show by mentioning Megan's rack and dropping the f-bomb. I don't care about the f-bomb, but the rack comment about Megan and virginity comment about Ashley were both totally icky and even Jenny said something along the lines of "I like you better when you're quiet", so agree with RS on that one.

IMO "playing the field" traditionally does not have either a negative nor positive connotation. It just means that you are dating a number of people at the same time. As long as you are not being emotionally dishonest with your dates, I don't see anything wrong with it -- in fact, I think it's often the sensible thing to do in order to find a good match.

A "player" is someone who toys with the emotions of their partners for his own gain, i.e. "I am so into you," "You are the one for me," and then the next day he ignores you. Joe would be the perfect example, except I think he goes beyond even that. I never got the sense that J.J. is a player. If anything, I think he's going to tell a woman exactly where he stands.

IA Amethyst. *edit*

Meh I don't care for RS and stopped reading his blogs.... He is an attention seeker himself and what does he do all day? Looking for gossip. He is only nice and say nice things about contestants who are willing to provide him gossip. He needs to find himself a real job. He is trash IMHO

That's like saying Perez Hilton or crazy days and nights or Lainey gossip need to find a real job. Pretty sure if you can make a good living just blogging from your home and working minimal hours, you should do it.

JJ and Clint are going to sell "VGV" (Villians Gotta Vill) t-shirts?  Is this a joke?  Who the heck wants to waste money on that?  

I think this should settle any speculation about JJ's financial situation:

I wish my parents were paying for me! Remember, I was a "former investment banker," not a "former personal trainer."

^^ t4p.

Guess even after that he will be questioned for just about everything.

Ah, I just don't care for the guy - obnoxious and full of himself. His twitter is full of insults and he probably thinks he's funnier than he is. Also for someone so above it all, he seems to throw a lot of shade at Shawn, Kaitlyn, Josh on twitter. Let it go, dude and enjoy the fleeting last five minutes of fame. About the only positive thing I can say is that he seems like a devoted dad - so kudos on that.

^^ He's no angel though the "voters" moved him from devil to angel %.

Assuming that he does not stick his foot in his mouth too much on his last episode next week his intention for going on BIP was achieved.

BIP would have been and will be a complete snoozefest without him so glad he is on this show and we got to see another side of him.
