Why is it socially "acceptable" for a guy to sleep around, but it's not socially "acceptable" for a girl to do the same?

Thank you, it is always refreshing to see someone buck PC.
I foresee a huge problem looming for women as a result of current trends. The current rate of college admissions and graduation is favoring women by something like 56%/44% and the gap continues to grow. It is very probable that the future holds a time when women grads will outnumber males 2 to 1.
In our culture it has been true that men are far more likely to marry "down" than women in terms of earnings and education. What happens when the pool of women outnumbers the pool of "suitable" men by this ratio? I see women:
Settling for "less".
Being alone.
Poaching men away from other women.
If and when this comes to pass it will have the perverse effect of giving men more power since they will be a scarce commodity in a sellers market. To compete for the best and the brightest, women with the looks and earnings will have an advantage and that will put pressure on all women because even the "winners" will have to maintain their advantages or risk losing what they have to a trophy wife.
I see the developing dynamic as a great example of unintended consequences and a reinforcement of the adage "be careful of what you wish for!"!

I've never cheated. Our society is losing all its values because of woman liberation, granted the men of the world ruined it first but with woman behaving the way men are now adays were on a crash course full speed to a society of sexual deviants, self centered irresponsibility, plagued with broken homes and STD's. Our children are doomed. But feed hungry pig's, who cares what kind of world our children inherrit.

well, I'm not really undecided but why is it socially acceptable for EITHER one to sleep around???
STD's aren't discriminating......they hit up both men AND women!
No matter if it's a man or a woman that sleeps around, you're still considered a whore, so what is the difference?
To actually give an answer to this ?, I think the reason why men seem to be able to 'get away with it' more is because this is a MALE driven world.
Men seem to think that they are the masters of the universe and what they do and say is okay but not for a woman.
To me, it makes no sense.
Here's a perfect example.....my husband can go out and have dinner with his friends, can go off on his own and actually have a life and I'm here stuck at home taking care of it and the kids but if I ever want to go out and try to make friends or just have time to myself, I'm given a guilt trip and made to feel bad for wanting to have time to myself....it's just how MEN seem to be.

i think that its wrong because if a boy sleeps around he should be called a hoe just like a girl is called when she sleeps around alot. And most people thinks its all right for a boy 2 sleep around alot but not a girl.

its just nasty for men and women to sleep around. who ever does something like that doesnt love them self and think that if they sleep with other people they might find someone to love them but if you dont love your self you cant think someone can love you back

Okay as long as you look out for yourself (like don't get STDs or get/ get a girl preg.) then I don't think its aweful. I mean, you should respect yourself so... Idk where I'm going with this anymore...

this question makes no sense to me... i sleep around all the time

Because the President did

Because throught history men have been allowed to have multiple wives and/or have been the dominant sex.....or at least thats what i think

i have no idea

man who do that is manwhore.. and women is whore.. so it's not socially acceptable.i think..

It's just the inheritance of the patriarchal world... :-\

it is a double standard of society dating back thousands of years. if you look into history, it is clear that women were always considered subservient to men, and with men being the superior sex, it was deemed ok for them to have their little "indiscretions". but for women, who men generally like to be pure and untouched, it has always been considered wrong for them to do the same. sadly this has always been so deeply ingrained into society, and into the very concept of male pride, that it is very difficult to overcome. personally, i think that as long as they are being safe about it, just as men should be, women are perfectly entitled to have sex when and with whom they want, within reason and the boundaries of the law of course. sex is a wonderful thing, and it relieves stress, is good for you health, and it just feels damn good and is a truly enjoyable thing to experience. personally i like to experience it as much as possible, as does my fiancee, so we are both quite fortunate in that. i wish everyone, both men and women, the good fortune in such things as her and i share, with or without strings attached.

Nah... see in todays popular society, it's socially acceptable, and recommended for everyone to sleep around.

It's slutty for both but some people are just too dumb to realize it.

BECAUSE GIRLS DO NOT STAND UP FOR THEMSELVES, OR STICK TOGETHER!

It's not acceptable for ether. Sex is for a man and a woman, not kids. For Some reason young people think sex is just another game. But what the hell. If the girl gets in trouble have an abortion. Then do it again and again and again. If you are too young to take care of a child, don't have sex. If you don't know how to make love without making a baby don't have sex. If you don't have the money for a child in your life don't have sex. I you don't love the woman don't have sex. If your not a responsible adult don't have sex. Sex is not like having a beer with a friend. What the hell, lets just make sex a game show on MTV, and the loser has to pay for their own abortion. What fun! Socially we could have a block party and do all the people that live next to us. And maybe the children can see how to play the game and make points.

It all has to do with society's perception of men and women, dating back to thousands of years ago. Women's stereotypical role was to have and raise children, while men had much more freedom, worked, chose a job, and chose a wife (or, if they didn't choose a wife themselves, then they chose a wife for their daughter). Even in this modern day and age, we still fall into these same gender biases, allowing men to be studs and girls to be sluts. Is it stupid? Yes. Should it be changed? Yes. Will it? Well, certainly things ARE indeed changing, but there still are people who are going to keep on thinking this for a long, long while--just like there are people (even in the U.S.!) who still think women should be confined to the home, cooking and cleaning and having children.

that is grouse sleping arond w/ other peple cuz u can get other disease that they had

i think its horrible 4 sum1 2 sleep around cause ur basicly degrating ur body & i think u shudnt sleep wit sum1 unless ur married

And you're beyond rude for saying this. If you don't like the damn question, then ignore it!

because guys are already slobs so i dosnt add anything but it dose to a girl.

Who said it is? A slut's a slut.

But it's yet another atavistic, patriarchal attitude, one that sets a certain standard of chastity for women and none for men.

Because it used to be a man's world. But it is changeing. Most women that do now. Don't try to keep it a secret. And men are more aware then they used to be.

Because there are double standards. However, in my circles it isn't acceptable for promisuous behaviour by either gender.

it SHOULDNT be like this, but it is: because a woman is more likely to scream rape than a male. you hear more causes of a woman screaming rape than a man. which....youd be surprised on how many men actually scream rape but never speak up cause theyre so scared.

...it's not! I don't want a man whore!

unfortunately there was a time in history (well, in some countries it's still like that..) when guys were making the rules..and they wanted of course the girls to be unexperienced and innocent so that their wifes wouldn't find out what losers these guys were in bed, lol

HA! LMFAO!

Hey sweetheart, how are you? :)

Um.....I'm.....breathing? LOL. Stressed. My thoughts are filled with visas and passports and money and love and time and chances. It's been a difficult few weeks.

yeah...I got the impression...I hope you remember...if you need some help with something...or somebody to talk....whatever...I'm here:) Any particular plans already when, where and how you'll move?

Thanks, hon. I'm just kinda lost right now. Getting a visa is BEYOND hard. Plus there is the whole money factor.

I can imagine...hmm...did you think about trying to find a job there before you move? I know that the chances are not great but if you were lucky and would find somebody willing to hire you, the visa thingie would be a lot easier...you can't lose anything with sending off some applications

True.....but I don't have a TON of experience. I mean, I'm a make-up artist. But I'm not licensed.

well...just give it a try...you're smart, funny , nice...why shouldn't somebody hire you? And didn't you say that you speak French? You should watch out for jobs where this is needed then...

I speak a LITTLE bit of French. See, the thing about drugs is, and ask Our Lord this, LOL, is that they make you forget things.

I know what you mean...well...I don't have experiences with drugs...but I learned French in school 7 years long....but after school I didn't use it anymore...and since I learned Finnish, I forgot everything about French...the words are just gone...my brains deleted them somehow to have space for Finnish, lol Nowadays I'm really pissed about myself coz I didn't continue practising it....in Finland it's really hard to find people that speak French really well.....I'd have a job already long time if I had been smarter after school

Speaking of Finnish things, have you ever heard of a HIM album done entirely with violins and cellos and such? And with Ville singing, of course.
