men are expected to bed as many women as possible, and high fived if they have sex with two women in one night. why are women expected to do the opposite, to sleep with not a lot of people?

    I think it's actually bullshit that people think this if you want to be sexually active that's your choice and you can have sex with as many people as you want...I personally think that guys that have loads of sex are probably dbags and massive tools.

    Because your supposed to be more responsible than us because of the possible infections and emotional issues you deal with. As well as you being more fragile than us. Your problems have a tendency to become every bodies problems if you know what i mean. Nevertheless i'll explain...

    I know this is unattractive to you but not every guy is made of steal, and having to inter vein every time you are being harassed or stalked by some nut you met somewhere for a fling is an unwanted problem to us. Regardless of your feelings that we are here to be the solution to every one of your problems(my cousin was killed for this). This basically makes you irresponsible. Because if you were truly responsible. We wouldn't be put in harms way.

    Most men covet intelligent women. Easy women are kind of a drag and problematic, they are offensive when they talk (complaining,shouting, drawing unwanted attention) and they have a way of degrading the entire harmonious function of hanging out. Girlfriends don't like them hanging around even if they are best friends of the so-called attached male. Mainly because the only thing the easy woman cares about is her sexual desires. Basically easy=greedy.

    It's all about responsibility and respectability kiddo. That's all nothing personal.

    i think no one going to offer you an truthful answer... the actual reson why is the quantity of administration females have over men and that they don't comprehend it....men desire to intercourse on the drop of a hat, men get horney if the see a woman pay attention their voice think of approximately them brush up against a non sexual area of a woman on accident. females could be taken care of a particular way emotionally lots of the time till now you will get them to have intercourse for the main area females at the instant are not elementary men are so if its the point of outrage for a guy to talk a woman into getting bare and letting him placed somthing in side her that makes a guy large while he can try this actual the explanation why females are seen as whores while they have a variety of of intercourse is by technique of the fact a. its greater handy for females to get laid(men get jealous) b. because of the fact of a male dominant society the suitable lady is a virgin, and for each important different she has had she is seen much less and much less like a goddess and greater like a harlet Ms_chito: dont look so indignant my answer had 2 aspects the 1st area spoke back why a guy thinks a guy is large if he has had intercourse with many females it truly is from the male perspective the 2d area spoke back why females are seen whores and is comparable to your answer

    Yeah there is a double standard, but women because they can get pregnant usually have had to be more responsible then men. It's true that in the present we have birth control and that single mothers can survive on their own, but in the past it wasn't like this. Women needed the support of a man to raise the child, and if she slept around, it was harder for her to find our who the baby daddy was (see: Maury Povich show).

    That's why society tended to look down on women who slept around. Nobody wanted bastards running around society. Feminism was only around for like 50 to 60 years. Traditional gender roles were around for ages! Some things have become instinctive, like women telling her partner "Oh the baby looks just like you! He has your eyes!" after the kid is first born. This was her subtle (but maybe not truthful) reassurance to her partner that the baby was his.

    Come on, most women under say 40 these days have had sex with lots of partners, it just that some women don't admit to it, like the guys do.

    The short answer is that in the past, that type of behavior would have devastating social consequences from the destruction of families, confusion of how to distribute property to heirs and venereal disease.

    In other words, many women can be asymptomatic carriers of venereal diseases and if it was unclear which man was the father of her children, that child may not be accepted into the family or be the rightful heir to its wealth.

    Most of this doesn't matter as much today, but it the vestigial reason why male and female promiscuity are viewed so differently.

    That's a global perspective on relationship and sex....You can't change it, but you could change those people that you hang out with. Honestly, it really goes both ways. Good girls would feel disgusted of guys that sleep around with random girls, too. One more thing, many women out there feel that it's embarrassing if they've only slept with 3 or 4 people in their lives (until they get married).

    Because it doesn't require much effort or skill for a women to find someone to have sex with- even ugly women can do it.

    A man who isn't drop dead georgous needs to make up for it by working out and having a good body, he has to being charming/sweet/funny he has to pay for flowers/chocolates/drinks to further charm her etc etc. But all a woman has to do is wear make-up and open her legs.

    Because it doesn't require any kind of effort. A man will always respect a woman who is ABLE to have many sexual partners, but has the virtues not to. Men have to make an effort to have that many sexual partners. If you're that easy, it takes the spark away.

    A "double standard" is the idea that some thing is acceptable when a woman does it.... but not when a man does it - or vice versa.

    Example:

    A **** goes out of her way to PRETEND she needs a "relationship"/ boyfriend or "marriage" / husband to give her whatever she demands in order for her to put out. Then she goes out and bangs some OTHER guy for FREE..... while pretending she's NOT a ****.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IMIS934YKcE

    Men who sleep around don't withhold sex until some stupid "price" is paid (or condition is met) and then after the price is paid -- run out and bang someone else.

    ONLY WOMEN DO THAT.

    Men who DO sleep around are perfectly willing to PAY for their mistakes. With alimony or otherwise. Including Tiger Woods.

    Women can't even accept personal responsibility for being a ****.

    (listen to stupid **** in above link)

    Men actually PAY for their own mistakes.

    Women JUSTIFY theirs... and expect men to pay for their mistakes anyway.

    Just listen to this. Her mentality is totally unbelievable:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zadD2eu4hmo

    That's why women don't get ant respect for being sluts - but guys do.

    And there's your "double standard".

    Men HAVE a standard. Women don't.

    If women were held up to the same standard as men for sleeping around, they wouldn't even GET married. Because the last thing a woman wants is to be held accountable for her own actions like a man - or PAY HIM for her mistakes.

    The "double standard" exists because women WANT it to.

    They wouldn't have it any other way.
