Guys with double standards

Consider the following: Some women believe that there is a "double standard" that exists because men are congratulated for being sexually promiscuous - and women are given negative connotations such as "slut" or "whore". Why some women can't understand this very simple concept has always baffled me.

Men have to compete with one another to get picked for sex. They have to display that they have the best genes or the most value. Women have to compete too, but only for the BEST male. They can have sex anytime they choose, just not with the best choice. But if they were to lower their standards as men have to do, they would get to pick from a long line of men. "Getting laid" is not something that can happen every day for the common Joe. He has to navigate the maze of a woman delicately in social situations to convince her he's the best pick. If a woman goes to a bar, club, or casual encounters looking for sex, and only wants sex, she will have zero problems getting it. Therefore, over time, women have gained a negative connotation, because they are not "beating anyone" or doing anything remotely impressive, they are simply manipulating basic human biology for sexual gratification. And thus, poof, the term "slut" was manifested.

I didn't even have to go into this long winded rant to make my point invincible - think female prostitution. Is there a reason why the porn industry is so huge but only for the male population. Is there a reason female prostitution is a global epidemic, but you don't hear problems about male prostitution? Why a female prostitute can make quite the living, while male prostitution isn't very profitable for the average Joe.

Good luck guys, may the best man win.

I was chatting with a group of guys yesterday and they were talking about this girl who we went out with for the first time. On the night, she met this guy she already knows in the club and ended up going back with him. The way the guys spoke about this was really negative, saying things like "oh the slag" "she's a bit easy ain't she", yet 5 minutes later they were talking about how one of them pulled this 'fit girl' and got 'sticky fingers' and the general reaction was "ha nice one mate!"

This really irritated me and I've found it's a common thing with a lot of lads out there. I associate the term 'slag' with someone who sleeps around a lot but tends to be a bit of a 'homewrecker' as well, having sex with people she shouldn't be. But what harm is a bit of casual sex doing to anyone else so long as it's safe? As long as you maintain respect and dignity for yourself and don't go flashing your tits out in the club or whatever, then what people do in the bedroom should be no one elses concern.

I'm not attacking all males here or anything, just something that has annoyed me from my experience and has happened more than once!

Just another annoying feature of a male-dominated society.

Please tell me your not being serious.

Because "slag" and "slut" applies to women, whereas the alternative word for males is "player". The actual double standard is that men see "player" as a good thing, and "slag" as a bad thing.

This isn't true. Have you ever been close friends with a girl before? They call each other slags for it just as frequently as men do, if not more. This isn't something I've just made up either.

How can men be hypocritical when women are doing it themselves (calling women who sleep around "slags", as a general statement) and then complaining that men are doing it? Isn't it more hypocritical to say "men call women slags for sleeping around, it's not fair" when you yourself are female and calling another female a slag, quite possibly for doing something you yourself do... isn't that much more hypocritical? Also, if you ask the guys who do sleep around loads if they themselves are slags or sluts, they will probably reply with a yes. They don't care.

You should word the question differently because you are putting the sole blame on men when they are not the only ones who call women slags for sleeping around.
