Just wondering ... my best friend and I just talked about that and even tho - obviously - whenever a guy has a one night stand, there has to be a girl doing the same (unless he's gay, but different story :wink: ) it usually seems to be more acceptable for guys than it is for girls. Do you concur?

I personally think its just as acceptable for both guys and girls, but its true that alot of people will see it as if the guy has loads of one night stands, hes the stud of the town.
But if a girl has loads of one night stands shes a cheap dirty slut.
Its abit sad and pathetic to see it like that i think.

Yeah, that's what it's like lol I mean, I wouldn't admire anyone who has loads of one night stands, really, but then again it wouldn't really make a difference what sex they were. But if I saw someone really hot at a club, I'd feel pretty slutty asking him to come back to my place whereas guys probably wouldn't think it's a big deal.
But seriously, if a girl made a move on someone and it'd obviously just be for one night, wouldn't most guys consent but at the same time think lower of her?

Hmm, I don't see why that would be boring or dull. You're in for equal rights - always a good thing! :p:

Usually if a guy has a one night stands, his friends will think he's great and if a girl has a one night stand, her friends will think she's a slut.

Uhm, not necessarily HER friends, I don't think they would. But the guy's friends would probably look down on her.
It's just unfair lol I don't see why it makes a difference, really. If they both know it's going to be for one night, it shouldn't matter. Hmm.

Yes its unfair but if i knew a girl who was being called a slut for 1 night stands,
i would tell her to not give a **** what other people think and just enjoy herself,
but at the sametime i would try and suggest to her to find someone for a more long term thing rather than a 1 off.
Basically because eventually they would get with a guy who makes out he has feelings for her just to get a few meaningless shags,
and of course thats just going to end in disaster

No, I agree. But what I was getting at is that sometimes, maybe they don't even intend to have anything long term-ish but just want to have fun. And then they're being judged for that which shouldn't be that way.
I say go with the flow let the people who do it do it, but me for one wouldn't go for the one night chance I'd prefer to know them not just for ther looks! I can maybe understand if you both totally match and talk alll night blah blah but I'm not totally sure!

Yeah i agree with you, mixed signals or quick to judge people is also a big problem with this sort of think

It's not more acceptable.

It's just that guys will often go on one-night stands with girls they would never dream of going out with.

Just my personal opinion:
Once a girl starts going on loads of one-night stands, many guys mentally categorise the girl as "the kind of girl you shag but don't go out with". It doesn't mean that what the girl is doing is unacceptable though.

Girls do that too though and categorise guys as just "one-night-stand material". It's just that girls do it less. A guy who is good enough for a one-night-stand is usually good enough to be a boyfriend. The opposite is not true.

one-night-stands make both ppl as cheap as each other..
..no respect for their own body and therefore no1 should really respect them

Harsh but respect does come into it. I'm personally fine with people who go on one-night-stands. If that's how they want to live... I have quite a few friends who behave like that. But one night stands are not the way to be respected by the opposite sex and getting a serious relationship.

My opinion is: you can't have your cake and eat it. Either it's all about fun and you don't care about relationships or you focus on having a proper relationship. You can't just stay in the middle and hope for the best... switching from one mode to the other. It doesn't work like that.

It's when friends (mainly female) go on one-night-stands hoping to get a guy that way, when they do it because that seems like the only way they will get affection and attention, that I let my opinion be known. It's surprising the number of girls who are like that...
