Why do females get called a whore and males get street rep?

[SpaceRainbows]

When you go around smashing people around your street. Girls would get called a whore. While boys would get street rep or be considered a 'player'. Why do you think it's like that?

[MrOracle]

Why do men have to be the one to ask out the women? And plan the dates? And pay for the dates? Why does a man need to make more money than the woman? Why does the man have to go investigate the scary noises at night? Why does the man give up his seat on the bus or train so that the woman can sit? I could go on, but just like these, your question is a double-standard. The difference is that the double-standard you are mentioning advantages men - but it's one of the few that do. Most double-standards advantage women.

And double-standards exist for a very good reason: men and women are DIFFERENT, and we think differently, we feel differently, we have different perspectives and priorities, so it stands to reason that we're going to have different responsibilities and liabilities.

Like all of these double-standards, their roots come from biological realities.

Men want and value very different things from women than women want and value from men, which makes sense: both men and women already have a number of things, and don't need the things they already have from their partners - instead, we want our partners to bring to a relationship things that we don't already have. This is why women tend to want men who are tall, men who are strong, men who are emotionally stable, men who have resources, etc. - these are things that most women don't have themselves. If her man has these things, he's going to be able to protect her and provide for her and make her feel safe. But these are NOT the things that men are looking for in women, because men already have these things, and having more of them doesn't really add value to his life, just like most women wouldn't give points to a man who had interior decorating skills (something she can already do, and probably better than he can).

Men - when looking for a relationship (and this distinction MUST be made, because there's an entirely different set of standards for when he's just looking for casual sex) - want a woman with as little sexual experience as possible, and as little overall life experience as possible. Why? Because it's important to men to be able to show you new things and experience things with you for the first time - AND because traditionally, this was the ONLY way to assure the paternity of children. Women with low body counts are potentially "relationship material", while women with high body counts are "for recreational use only." If your body count is high, most men will still bang you, but few will be interested in committing to you. The two things are VERY different, but women love to conflate the two (girls a guy would bang vs. girls a guy would date/marry).

Beyond that, there's also the factor that sex is EASY for women to get when they want it. I could drop you into any city in the world, and if you were determined to get laid, it would take you less than 20 minutes to get a guy alone in a room. I'm not saying that it would be the guy that you want to DATE, but if the goal was simply to get sex, you know full well that as a woman, that's EASY for you. But for the vast majority of men, getting sex is NOT easy - in fact, it's so difficult that today, 30% of men are either virgins or haven't had sex within a year. It's the guys in the top 10% - the ones most women consider to be the most desirable - who get all the girls, and who are the players, because they CAN. Most guys can't get even ONE girl.

[MrOracle]

For this reason, men who can get sex are seen to be more valuable socially, and men who can't are seen to be less valuable socially - and it's not just men who think this, but women as well. You'll also realize that not only are the top 10% guys the guys that all the women want, they're also the guys with the highest body counts - and yet, this doesn't stop (or even slow down) women from wanting them. This shows that, despite what most women SAY, they don't REALLY care about a man's body count - when they throw themselves at a guy who has banged 1000+ women, no one is buying their assertions that a man's body count is important to her.

But to men, it matters - at least for women they'd consider for a relationship. If it's a girl you're just going to have casual sex with, then it doesn't matter - but that girl is never, ever getting a relationship from that guy.

it is much easier for a woman to get laid than it is for a man to get laid.

what comes easy does not build character. what comes hard does build character. who do you respect more? with all things considered equal except lifestyle, the person who eats junk food 24/7 or the person who works out hard at the gym 24/7?

on the flip side, men get "virgin" shamed so women getting "slut" shamed evens out.

[swettannie]

because it's more difficult for a men to get laid than for a women

[Dieudonné842]

They get called "promiscuous" or the S-word. It sounds very pathetic calling it the S-word, but I watch my tone when talking to a kid. That's just how I am. They call it that when she is just doing it for pleasure.

The W-word is more about a woman offering sex to take care of her or to buy her stuff. Again I know it sounds very pathetic. I feel cringed when writing like this, but I have morals.

Because a shitty lock is no good to anyone and gives a false sense of security. Which can be worse for all.

A skeleton key that can open any lock is something everyone dreams of and it's why they are considered great to be had

[Anonymous]

Must we repeat the lock and key analogy again for you? It's as true today as it ever was.

Men and women are different, and there are so called "double standards" on both sides that are a direct consequence of those inherent differences. Why is it so popular today among some people to question / deny nature?

[UniquelyBasic]

Typically its probably because. for women, its easier to get sex and for a man, he had to put in more effort besides just looking good.

[Berethor]

A man is like a key, a woman is like a lock, men and women are different, feminism is lying.

[exitseven]

it is not fair. Also not fair is that women can have sex a lot easier than guys. I dont know if it evens out.

[FilmGuy93]

Men don't exactly get a good reputation from that either. A lot of guys like that get dismissed as cheap and told they have no standards.

[Guy13]

You women have the prize and if you give it away easily then you are an Easy Woman or whore.

[WellGreetingsISay]

Slutty guys don't get rep from me. I see them the same as I would see anyone.

[Anonymous]

no they're called manwhores or thought of as manwhores and guys warn women of other guys who are players behind he player's back it's just not talked about to often and kept on the down low

[LazerBean]

Male whores only get street rep from other whores.

[LimitedBenefits101]

Because 95% of females are 304s

[Anonymous]

It's called "gender roles".

[riverrat3]

Double standard
