ok well....i have noticed this watching various tv shows...and it is not only with sex, but other things also, but....this IS a sex message board so i'll just cover this area. ![]()
well.....if a guy has multiple partners, he is called a stud, this is generally a positive term that is used and it is OK to people that a guy is dating, or just having sex with several women at once, it is just a phase.
i am thinking about wut people think when women do this. the terms slut and whore r used. they r completely attacked for it!
normally when i talk to men about this they say "thats not tru!" and that is their only argument.
but there r TONS of double standards also that i have noticed in school and stuff and it is not fair!
my point is, why is a man congratulated for doing something when a woman is attacked for it? and dont say its the nature of the beast because that is not true, it is another stereotype people use.
any thoughts? ![]()


Hi LifeIsAJourney,
It sounds to me like this girl is jealous. What other reason could she have for caring what you do? The only person who has to be happy with how you conduct yourself is you. Be true to yourself and don't worry about what other people think. And as for the name calling, the old saying is "It's not what you call me, but what I answer to that counts."
Take care.
Society is so unfair..... I have only recently started doing sexual things with this one boy.. He was my first for everything.
I have been targeted by this one girl...she calls me a slag, a slut, a hoe... but yet she never blames this guy.. who is the one who came on to me first!!
A guy sees it as ''scoring again'' but is never critiseised for it, where as the girl is blamed and called names!!
Being a man i don't know if women have the urge to sleep with many men and simply suppress it but i have read somewhere a possible reason for why men do. And that is that the whole drive to have sex is to reproduce. A women can only reproduce once every 9 months maximum, while a man can do it 10 times a day. So a womens sex drive is as active as a mans.
Now being myself (15) id like to say that of the people i know, i know none of the guys in my grade sleep around. Though there are several (4-8, dont feel like counting) girls that are known to sleep around with older guys. On a side note these girls are also known for smoking(pot) and drinking as well as not doing so well in school. Not sure wich caused the other.
Then there's the minor issue of Stay-At-Home Mom = Deadbeat Dad. Someday I hope these will go away, but until then, men will still do what they do, and talk about it in the locker rooms, women will do the same, only they dont talk about it because they'll be labeled. It's a messed up world but right now, it's the only one we got.
I not only have a poor opinion of women who sleep around an excessive amount, and even though i don't normally put a degrading name to them, think of them as many people consider what a "slut" might be; I also hold a very poor opinion of guys that do the same thing.
casual dating is one thing; it's good to meet new people and get to know them. But casual sex, sleeping with another person every night or even possibly even every week is really just a bit overboard.
Those double standards will always exist as long as people continue to go along with them. I blame women in large part for helping some double standards along. See, lots of women will criticize other women for their sexual activity but say nothing of the man who is doing the same thing as the woman. People that want to change the double standards have to start holding men and women to the same standards of behavior. I don't believe in casual sex and I believe it is EQUALLY bad when men or women have one night stands. Neither sex should be expected to be more selective than the other. Many men refuse to date women who have lots of partners. What women should do is refuse to date men with lots of partners if they feel that casual sex is so bad. The problem is that too many women don't. They will willingly date a man that they know is a male whore but at the same time will criticize other women that sleep around. Until this stops, the double standards will continue.
I don't plan my actions based on what other people will think of me. I don't give a damn if a man does not respect me for having a certain amount of partners. I respect myself and that is all that matters. As far as I'm concerned, people that uphold double standards aren't worth my time anyway.
Girl12, it sounds to me like you have "seen behind the curtain" and you, yourself, are in no danger of believing this double-standard. That's how things like this change. One person at a time who refuses to accept that "this is the way things are". Good for you! Always question.
society is just messed up really. lol.
after all, women gossip and men bond when we all get together. *rolls eyes*
If someone, either man or woman, is dating multiple persons at once, I would call them cheaters.
If they are having sex with multiple persons (not a gangbang :) ), I would sey that they don't want a serious relationship, but just want to get laid.
It gets better... you won't have to dig too deep to discover that there are triple standards as well.
There truly isn't a rational reason why men are congratulated and women are labelled negatively. (Some might suggest that it has to do with the fact that women can get pregnant, but in today's society, that's becoming less of an issue.)
You'll find another thread about asking women about their passion and I think it's safe to say that the theme of that thread is that most women are more "horny" than they let on... or at least could be. Perhaps the idea that men always want sex and women don't isn't so accurate...
You may have answered your own question. It is about stereotyping, perhaps. As long as we (society) believe that women need seducing, men will be seen as conquerors and the women having sex with them will be seen as "easy."
It is a hopelessly unfair world.
wow cool....thanks for replying!!! *hugs*
