Personally, for me, it's all about respect. If you don't have his respect, there's a lot of other things you don't have, either. Never mind if he seems good in other ways.
If somebody I'm in a relationship doesn't take my preferences seriously, then there's a problem. And I would never buy the "playing" argument, even if _he_ really believed it. There's a reason he thinks that behavior is fun -- and it's probably not a good one.
