Is There Still A Double Standard In Society?

I agree 100% with Dalcadan.

Although, some interesting food for thought ,. On average (based on surveys at college level) women have between 1. 5 & 3 times as many sexual partners as men do. Now, as I know guys exaggerate I would say that it guys gave a truthful answer in those surveys that the gap (no pun intended) would be ever bigger.

Why does society look down though? Not sure, perhaps because guys get shot down so much, that when they do get lucky the first night, they just assume that's how the girl is. I don't know.

Overall, you have to feel comfortable with your choices. Don't worry about what other people think, other people will always have opinions , so the e is no sense worrying about them.

There is a double standard; however, not in my eyes. I'm very old fashioned and believe that if you were "easy" then so was he. I think it's screwed up that a guy can hump everything face of this planet and be "the man," but if a female were to do it, she's a whore. It's sickening. It takes two to tango. Whatever.

Unfortunately there is still a double standard, but I believe it is changing and that is one of the things I am up to in the world.

You did nothing wrong and even if you were "that kind of girl" who cares? Take the power in your femininity and go for what you want. If you want to kiss then kiss. If you don't then don't. If you want to have sex then do it. If the guy doesn't respect you then you don't want him around anyway because he is exactly the kind of person who perpetrates that kind of thought. And, it only gets weird if you make it weird.

Be strong and you will help to clear the road for other women to take back their power around their sexuality.

Wow. I find it unbelievable that guys responded you were "easy" because you made out with a guy you just met but at the same time believable because you admitted that you stuck by your guns in saying that you would not entertain the idea of a more intimate relation which if you did go all the way you could be coined "easy" but even though you didn't for some wacky reason they still cry "easy", back to the point. Making out without a complete stranger in a heated moment of passion and not putting out screams "tease". Such in an event could result in the opposite sex getting "blue balls" or for the ones that coined you "easy", memories of a similar uncomfortable event therefore unjustly coining you "easy". This is nothing more than the male version of a dramatic tantrum.

I cannot say that I am a complete expert on guys and although I did pull the blue balls card, I have been told that its not just because (well. No need to go in depth). 94 percent of my friends are male and of those ten percent play for the other team. I mention this because sadly some think because a girl has all male friends those males must play for the other team (in which my answer would not be a reflection of a "straight male") and if they don't I am a tom boy- the exact opposite, all frills and high heels! I made this situation so after a turning point in my life when I realized, for myself, dealing with this unjust dramatic gender is far more manageable than our gender and for the girl friends I do have are an exception to the book. Yes double standards do exist but I find it more lethal coming from a female in addition to numerous distances females go that are not constructive. Unjust a male may be but there is a fine line when it comes to the nature of plotting, etc. Not to mention my lack of confidence in a male executing a scheme he could get away with. I have asked my friend, what is the meaning of a stuck up girl? The answer was "not easy", note that for a female stuck up may entail on top of that, the brand of shoes, food intake and so much more.

Lastly, I have used the word "unjust" to describe male actions, but what I have not mentioned, until now, is that "unjust" I find is just a representation of the outer shell, but beneath therein lies something more sensitive at times than a female. I have only had one male friend comment on my conduct overall, coined a "tease" , a "bi*tch" and "aloof". Instead of overreacting I justified all terms on the principle that he should not have expected more for what he put out on the table. Using the no BS tolerance after having sex with a friend I told him that it would not work out- it wasn't good. He replied that no one has ever been so blunt but yet satisfied. I'm trying to convey that yes, my guy friends spew crap from their secondary brain below the equator but underlying know they hold no ground on fairness/dbl standard for your query. You'll shine contrary to pop. Belief if you just be honest!

There is a double standard but there is a strange logic to it. It goes like this.
The guy is the one who traditionally has to seek out and conquer the woman. The woman however gets to just stand there and either accept or reject men who approach her. So that's why the guy who "wins" and gets lots of women is seen as successful while the woman who "accepts" anything on offer is seen as a whore. It's different roles. But the thing is in modern society this holds no credibility anymore because roles are a bit more equal now compared to 50 years ago and women often do as much chasing as men. But the judgment is still there. But so what. Revel in your femininity and enjoy being single. Don't take it too seriously though.

The double standard exists because men want to keep reins on women. They cannot stand the idea of their girlfriends having had more partners than they've had. Just like they have to make more money and have more prestige. It's a bunch of crap really. But honestly, anybody who sleeps around is a slut in my eyes, male or female.
This is a general answer to your question and not aimed at your particular circumstances. I don't think what you've described would qualify you as a slut/easy or anything else.

Agree with Jessica. Except maybe on the girls masturbating more than guys thing. I can't even imagine a girl masturbating more than my boyfriend does.

I just answered somebody else's question and went on a rant about double standards. So let me find what I said and just copy & paste it because I am lazy :)

Lots of girls are just like guys and just wanna f***. Of course, they are called sluts and whores, thanks to double standards. Guys say things about girls like they are loose and such if they have heard they have been with guys, yet, you know if she offered, they would f*** her. Guys are looked up to and worshiped by their friends if they bang a lot of chicks. Girls are like shunned and harassed about it. Which sucks. But then if they don't put out, they can often be called prude or uptight or whatever.

It sucks. I'm not a feminist by any means, but I just hate how stupid that is. Sometimes, yea, I like to f*** and be eaten out or give head or whatever. If I find a guy I have an EMOTIONAL attraction to, then I hold out on the sexual things.

Many girls probably masturbate more than some guys! Everybody loves orgasms. :) And physical touch from another whom they are attracted to.
