I agree. Good effort. Now some banter, no offence, no negativity :-
1. It’s none of your business who anyone else sleeps with.
-If she wants to marry me, IT IS MY BUSINESS. I am not going to marry just anyone else.
2. Why do you think you have the right to be a player, but women can't be sexually active?
-Okay what if I am a virgin? Do I have right to choose virgin only then?
Things in a relationship should be equal. It honestly shouldn't matter who your spouse hooked up with in the past. The past is the past! What matters is that both are faithful in the present. Neither should hook up or flirt while together, but they shouldn't make decisions and preferences because of their partner's past.
The only reason I would say there should be an exception is if their partner has some kind of STD then they should do what's best for their own health.
No one has the right to treat anyone as a sex object and less than human person. Sex, is the benefit of having a loving relationship not something that is abused. When abused it is destructive. As for women being held to a higher standard? No! The only one who should be held to any standard is Jesus Christ. God is to be worshiped not women or men.
I wouldn't say they should.
Hell, I feel like I end up in relationships where I am held to a higher standard.
Yeah,
I don't expect much out of a person to be honest, but I'd like to see someone go the extra mile to do something other than just fuck me.
Not a higher standard but since we know how sleazy a lot of guys are we should have higher self esteem and be snobbier. We should be above a lot of their bulkshit. However sex is great and she shouldn't have to be a virgin and go without pleasure just to prove something
I totally agree except for the high standard. I'm more for the equal one if it's high or low. Why do guys think they deserve a clean modest girl if they're big sluts themselves? I wouldn't like it if a guy judged me for sleeping with a guy before I really liked. I think a guy who has slept with a lot of girls isn't boyfriend material.
Because they want to feel secure. Big sluts both men and women will never change. If you are a proper slut you will be a slut for life. If you think you are a slut but can't back it up, then you will probably want to settle down with someone who is not a slut because they give you piece of mind if you know they won't cheat. But you never look at your own guilty conscience.
This guy she is describing will probably get a really good girl and cheat on her. Because he is a slut. A real one
Well if he does find the woman he wants and they are happy together leave them be. He might cherish her more because he is nothing like him. As long as they love each other and as long as they are faithful and are willing to do anything for each other then nothing else really matters. And if he does get the girl he wants then maybe she loves him for who he is as it generally goes. Myself personally I am a virgin but I'd rather marry someone who treats me like a queen and loves me faithfully and unconditionally. The other stuff won't really matter.
Would be nice if I met a virgin though I'd be really happy lol.
Women and men should both be held at the same standard, whether high or low. Women should be proud to be sexually active, and so should men.
Even though it's morally wrong to criticise someone's sex life and by an ass about it, they have the right whether you like it or not.
Men and women are held to dofferent standards on most things not just sex.
Not saying they should or shouldn't be. Just that they are.
Any guy that doesn't hold himself to the same standards that he wants in a woman is a a fuck boy.
Double standards in sexual promiscuity is one of the very few double standards men get to enjoy. However as I grow older I'm finding that I don't have any more respect for manwhores than I do sluts (myself included... I've slept with around 30 women).
You have the right to hold whatever standards you want. That's the end of the issue.
It's perfectly okay to want a virgin girl even if you've banged dozens, it's okay to want someone 5'0" even if you're 6'4", blue eyes even if you have brown ones, etc.
It's easy to be a slut, all she has to do is show up and consent. it takes good looks, wit, charm and effort to be a stud. Men and women are different in many aspects
Its 100 times easier for a woman to get sex
Men are expected to make the approach
Men are expected to stop flirting with women when they get in a relationship, even though other males will still approach his girlfriend.
All these things favor women.
Women should hold themselves to a higher standard.
It's easier for woman to get sex because men are easy. (not trying to sound rude)
We're supposed to be "easy".
Girls are held to a higher standard at least as wife material. Sluts are always fun but are not marriage material. Girls do not care as much if a guy sleeps around, if they do then thats good too. Let the sluts date and marry (lol, yeah sure they will) each other. Dont be a slut and dont worry about havimg to try and hide it later cause it won't work as it will come out one way or another.
Yes, this guy is hypocritical. But that's just a sign that he's deathly insecure about something.
We don't hold women to a higher standard, you do it to yourselves. We go around trying to get laid but women make it so difficult, like there's something wrong with being slutty.
If you want to make this particular argument with any merit at all then you'll first need to address all the many other ways in which women are held to much lowers standards than men. Until then, it's just more female hypocrisy.
I belive the mere fact that men wish women to be "pure" in difference to men is in itself is being held to a higher standard than men who usually are treated as horn dogs.
It's his choice if he wants to sleep with lots of girls, and his choice if he wants a girl who hasn't slept with lots of guys. Same for girls, if she wants she can sleep with lots of guys, and if she wants she can not marry a guy unless he's "pure".
However most girls and guys who are "pure" will only marry someone else who is "pure" so someone who sleeps around will find it difficult to get someone who is "pure"
There's a reason why I don't sleep around.
I waited, and I want a girl who waited too, nothing wrong with that
