    Why is it that when a bloke sleeps with thousands of girls he is called a stud.
    He may even be applauded for his conquests.

    But when a girl sleeps with a handfull of blokes she is branded a "slut"


    In my opinion... I just think its a dint in the male pride area:p

    It's harder for a guy to pick up a girl than it is for a girl to pick up a guy :p

    It's because there hasn't been enough threads about the issue to highlight it.

    Allow me to use an analogy.

    A key that can open many locks is a master key. However a lock that can be easily opened by any key is a pretty shitty lock.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,899 ✭✭✭✭BBDBB


    something clever about keys and locks


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,214 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    Oh Jesus. I'm not affiliated in any shape or form with the OP...

    Oh and some really unoriginal, dumb thing about keys and locks.

    Is this not a discussion that's limited to people up to about the age of 16 or thereabouts? I was under the impression (although it's some years since my age has been in the 20s) that once you got to late teens/early 20s that this whole conversation became redundant and people were basically free to do what they want and be who they wish sexually without labels like this being put on them. Surely we're not still stuck in some sexual dark ages where people judge others based on the number of partners or types of private practices they have, which, as grown adults, they're perfectly entitled to.

    Or am I just really really REALLY naive?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,779 ✭✭✭Spunge


    In the same way if a bloke hits a girl, everyone will think he's a pussy-ass women beater. Its just the way it is.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,214 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    That key/lock thing again as if it's clever.

    The guys who obsess about picking up women on a night out are embarrassing to be around and kind of pathetic. I don't know anyone who does this "go on yah stud yah" high fives with the lads thing; maybe when we were 15 but that's about it.

    "A key that opens many doors is a master key but a lock that is opened by many keys is a **** key."

    Because women have a higher resource cost when it comes to raising kids (all a man has to do is shoot his sperm) they have to be pickier. A man who sleeps with loads of women is in evolutionary terms a success because he will probably have lots of kids. Men like him because he has acess to women (and men getting sex is a lot harder than women getting sex) and can show them how to be a stud and women like him because he is obviously a good choice for a mate.

    A woman who sleeps with lots of men will not increase the number of kids she will have but will be regarded as being easy and probably less likely to be faithful and so the men will not think of her highly. Also the women will instinctively dislike that this woman is giving away sex for free and so the men will not be interested in trading their resources for sex with them when instead they could just pay the town bike a visit.

    Hence why women who sleep with a lot of men are regarded as sluts and men who sleep with a lot of women are thought of as heroes.

    Society has changed massively in the last 50 years or so, some attitudes are still stuck there.

    it's a conundrum alright.

    i mean men don't find virgins attractive. (unless they're, well, boys)

    so, a sexy woman is one who has had sex, right?

    so....

    yawn. i'm already bored with this.

    Those attitudes were genetically programmed into us thousands of years ago.
    50 years ago is nothing in terms of evolutionary psychology.
    Evolutionary arguments aren't convincing - you could say men should beat the sh1t out of each other for a woman because cavemen did it, but obviously that's unacceptable in society today.

    It's unacceptable in western society today but there are many parts of the world where society has broken down and people have reverted back to their instinct. Just look at the western world a few decades ago during ww2.

    We can fight our instinct and maybe hold it back but IMO people can never banish it fully and it still survives. Male and females were virtually segregated for much of history as a way of trying to suppress our instincts and that didnt even manage to work.

    The whole thing of double standards for the sexes exists because how we conceive and raise children is one of the biggest differences between the genders, so what is advantageous has evolved differently between the two. And it still remains advantageous to this day so the behaviour is likely to stay.
    O
    r has marrying a promiscuous woman suddenly become a good idea for a man in the 21st century?
    If they like each other what's the problem? There's more to her than her promiscuity.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,417 ✭✭✭ToddyDoody


    It's harder for a guy to pick up a girl than it is for a girl to pick up a guy :p

    Very very true. Any statistics to back this up? (i'd say its something like 3500 times easier, give or take

    Many end up in court or prison because what they do isn't socially acceptable, they still do it.

    That phrase is dumb for many reasons, many still use it though.

    I don't buy this argument because we aren't cavemen anymore. Our culture and technology has advanced far more rapidly than evolution can keep up with or intended and this has caused all the problems we currently see. There's nothing natural about contraception for example but we still use it.

    We aren't primates anymore and keeping animal instincts in check is relatively simple.

    Just as an aside on violence, lions don't line up other lions and kill them because they look different, humans have advanced far beyong evolution intended, we're above animals for all intents and purposes and arguing that we're still guided by base instincts is absurd.

    Wibbs can probably discuss this far better than I can to be honest.

    Promiscuous doesn't necessarily mean unfaithful. Best to consider the individual IMO.
