Has feminism affected men's standards?

In the past men were against getting into serious LTR with women who were very promiscuous and slept around. Also even in countries where traditional male/female gender roles are in place men have a preference for younger women over older women.
Has feminism affected men's standards?
I'm noticing that men today don't have any of this. A lot of men seem to have opted the mentality the past is the past and as long as she clean now they don't care how much dicks his girl has serviced. In fact, some guys are fine dating girls who have done porn on film even when in said porn the girl admitted to being in an active relationship while fucking some other guy on camera.

[This girl above was engaged and had her wedding ring on while fucking another guy on camera. The dude still married her] "our credit history tells me how good you are at managing your money, your medical history tells me how healthy you are, your driving history tells me how good of a driver you are, yet your relationship/sexual history can be just wiped clean?" Another thing i've notice is more and more men find 30+ year old women more physically attractive than 20 year old which i attribute to the whole "women sexual prime is in their 30's" and"30 is the new 20"s" campaign made by the media.

So we have a lot of young men who actively are pursuing 30+ year old women and consider them more attractive than girls in their 20's even though on a biological level 20 yr old has better quality eggs and more of them than a woman in her 30's. This isn't tied to desperate men on gag but even at celeb levels.

Aaron Johnson (26) with his (47) yr old wife and 2 kids. Yet, at the same time the standards for women haven't changed at all. Women still attracted to tall men and very few if any date men shorter than them. Women still want men to make more money. They only find a guy hot if he has common physical features of having high testosterone (sharp facial features, chiseled jaws) and would only ever approach if they found a guy really sexy.

  • First of all, with respect to feminism, it will all come back to bite women in the ass. Women don't appreciate how good they have it. To be able to play perpetual victim, even when "the law" gives you equal rights, even when "the law" gives you "superior" rights "and" "less" obligations... and to still have the balls to play it off like you're the victim. Eventually, it will turn into the tale of the boy who cried wolf, only it wasn't a boy, but a full grown ass woman, complaining that she doesn't make the same as a surgeon working two (2) seventy two (72) hour call shifts a week, because she's an English teacher (etc., etc., etc., we can go on all day with examples).

    Secondly, nevertheless, I don't think "feminism" has much (if anything) to do with male "preferences" for women. There are "internal" preferences, and then there are "revealed" preferences (those that you express externally through action). When I was a freshman in college, I had a fantasy of fucking my biology professor. Not because I found her attractive. But the idea of it was appealing to me. I wanted to be that young guy she would have a memory of fucking from her college biology class. I wanted to "give" that experience to her. If you're an amateur statistician, maybe you'll take that data and say, "Aha! This action means he's attracted to older women!" No! It doesn't. There are other motives behind sex (and relationships) besides physical attraction or even an emotional connection.

    "our credit history tells me how good you are at managing your money, your medical history tells me how healthy you are, your driving history tells me how good of a driver you are, yet your relationship/sexual history can be just wiped clean?"

    What exactly does your "relationship/sexual" history measure? We know what your credit, medical and insurance experience history measures. What exactly does "number of dicks inside her vagina" measure? What is that a proxy for? Because a single dick inside the vagina is not a prerequisite to cheating, or manipulative behavior, or violent behavior, etc. So, what is it measuring, exactly, if there's such a big emphasis being placed on keeping that record "clean"?

  • Feminism destroyed the very fabric of the relationship between men and women. The sad part is that feminism will eventually hurt women more than men.

    • I think you are right on that.

    • The truth of it all... Right there !

  • The Femme Fatale or promiscuous woman has always been incredibly attractive to men and retold in countless tales/mythology.
    She loves sex and is confident. She embodies freedom.

    Obviously, if the deal back in the day was, "Marry me so we can have sex"
    A man would feel foolish if he heard she gave it for free elsewhere.
    Regardless of feminism..
    If I decided to abstain and told men, "I can only have sex with you after marriage" you BET I'd see a proposal within six months from someone.

    Women married because it was expected of them to be housewives.
    They had to marry to move out their parents house so obviously men chose younger ones as all the attractive women were already married!

    Now people marry due to real connection and compatibility. Often we don't know who we will falll uncontrollably in love with.

    I say this as the love of my life is religious and still he fell for me (a sex worker).
    I quit as soon as I knew he was someone special and our relationship is as normal as any other regardless of my sexual history.

    Some common sense for you!

    • I hope he feels very lucky to have found you. There is nothing wrong with being a sex worker or getting married to one. If anything it just means you guys probably have better sex than most couples because you must be very good at communicating with each other about sex (or so I am assuming).

  • You're talking about female porn stars getting married, but there are male porn stars as well! I don't see what's your problem as long as their partner is okay with it. "Serviced many d**ks" WTH? We're not in the 1800s, a woman can have as many sexual partners as she wants, as long as both of them are safe. Again we can also say that about men and how many "pu**ies they had serviced". And your conclusion about women's standards is as sexist and biased as your whole post. "Women still want men to make more money" BS!!! Women are fighting for equal pay and against the wage gap. So stop pulling "facts" out of your ass, and if you have a problem with equality, go to a country where women are still treated like animals, I'm sure you'll have fun there!

    • The girl in the pic isn't a pornstar to be frank like she's done a 1000+ films. This was a girl who came from a small town state and had only 1 boyfriend before her husband and decided to do porn because as she puts it "wanted the experinece". She didn't even need the money because she comes from a rich family. Women can have as many sexual partners. I agree. However, men still reserve the right to judge you for said action and take that into consideration when getting into a serious relation. Studies have actual shown that women still marry up when it comes to wealth. S o no it's not bs it's just a fact.

    • Oh and she only did 1 film. A pornstar is a girl i'd consider has a fan base and done several (double -triple digit) porn films. This girl did 1 film for a porn company that mask itself as a modelling agency.

  • Porn affected mens standards. However feminism has caused women to choose careers over families so a lot of times you'll get a women who hits her 30s and starts panicking because she has to find a guy before her biological clock starts ticking. But modern feminism shames modesty and encourages open sexualiy so guys are saying "fuck marriage" and are banging 20 year olds while 30 year old feminist have to compete with 20 year olds which is why women aren't having as much babies and guys who AGE WAY BETTER THEN US are only settling for hot young girl.

    Feminism is killing us and men only want the best of the best.

    • Good comment.

    • That was a lot of nonsense based on literally no facts whatsoever. You are inferring quite a bit there

    • @Nothanks700 what am i suppose to provide scientific research per sentence? Jeez. Its common knowledge that men aren't getting married and white people aren't having as much babies as minorities who don't buy into or care about feminist culture. The last part i'll say its my theory.

  • Females really do seem to find their true libido around their 30s though. It totally corresponds with my experiences. That said, it's weird for 20-year old guys to be dating 30-year old women. 30-year old men still tend to be quite horny enough. 30s isn't the new 20s for me. It's just that we discovered that 30-year old women tend to be about as horny as a 20-year old man. Women usually need to reach around that age to really, really, really be into sex.

    On to the main topic, I don't know how much the feminist movement has affected men's standards.

    However, obviously *women* control men's standards above all else. Back when no woman would ever spread her legs for a man before marriage, men eagerly waited until marriage to have sex. Now few men are going to date a woman with those standards, since for every woman who wants to date for months before having sex or even get married before having sex, there's a horde of hot, young women who'll sleep with you on the third date, e. g.

    If women today suddenly rallied together and decided they're only going to sleep with men wearing pink shirts, we'd all be wearing pink once we realized what was happening. Men's sexual standards are ultimately a reflection of women's sexual standards. We just do whatever gets us pussy.

    • Your explanation below really doesn't explain though why men are eager in wanting to marry up sluts for girlfriend or girls who have cheated on their partner in the past because according to the new mantra by men "past is the past". It's one thing to drop a girl because she doesn't put out and seek another for ONS. However, it's a whole different thing to wife up a girl who has been with tons of guys.

    • Some of that is just the gender equality double-edged blade, and that has more direct ties to feminism. It's just the same way men's sexual history was often disregarded, now we do so for women as well. Generally when society balances towards gender equality, it pivots towards the side that's easier to achieve. For example, we could have made it so everyone's sexual history mattered, but that would screw all the promiscuous people out there.

    • You can always work backwards though and come back to the bottom point about how women drive's men's standards -- men are followers here, women are the leaders. It's like why is it now a big deal to kind of suggest we forget that a woman slept with 30 guys? Because a lot of women out there have actually slept with that many. Why is it a big deal now to try to make 30-year old women out to be more desirable than they generally are among men? Because a lot of women now reach their 30s while still single, since most guys they meet will simply have sex with her and then move on, or if she has standards and won't put out, they'll move to another girl.

  • I don't see it, or experience it, in any way. I respect women, and treat them like I would want to be treated, with respect for her, as a person.
    Nobody has EVER called me 'sexist,' for opening a door, or taking her hand, or adjusting a chair for her, taking her to an elegant dinner for her birthday.
    I think that this 'old-fashioned' concept, of 'Feminism' has been dead and buried, and women today are not really concerned with it, as those in the 1960s.
    Women today may still face some compensation disparities, maybe some 'bias' from the corporate 'Good Ole Boy's Club', but I think it is changing, and this idea of 'Feminism' isn't needed, as women today are more confident, being who they are, and never encountered the sexism of the past.

  • So much misinformation in one post.
    First of all, in the past men married whoever their parents them to. As did the women. Choosing your own mate is an invention of the 20th century. And in the first half of the 20th century people typically choose to marry young, often in high school, because that was the only way to have sex. Also because there was a lot of pressure to start a family early. Not having a family was not an option, it's just what you do. And marrying outside your own age bracket was also frowned upton. In the 50s, there were public service announcments warning teenage girls about older men. Older in that case was less than 10 years. There was a lot of pressure to do things a certain way.

    I would say for the first time in history men are free to choose whomever they want to.

    • @nalaa Right but in the first half of the 20th century in many countries they didn't even go to HS: many had to work or marry within a few years of leaving elementary school.

      Look here at age of consent years in 1920 in different countries: chnm.gmu.edu/.../230

  • You're comparing apples and oranges here. A man not caring about a woman's sexual history (you know, the way she is expected not to care about his) is not the same as a woman preferring certain physical attributes in a man (like height).

    Men still tend to prefer thin women over fat ones, big tits over small ones, big round asses, etc. Maybe if we're going to start making comparisons between men's standards and women's standards, we should begin with the ones that actually make sense.

    • To Reallio, who blocked me lol: I'm not assuming anything about your intelligence. I can see you're not stupid, and I never implied you were. But life experience is a crazy thing, and after a few years of adulthood and being in different situations, you pick up on things--some that you eventually grow to wish you could have avoided ever learning. But such is life. I apologize if I have offended you, truly. It seems you misunderstood much of what I have said, and that's okay. I just think the playing field needs to be leveled a bit between women and men in terms of sexuality. I also believe that men are treated unfairly in family court and domestic relations, so there's inequality everywhere (which is why I'm not a feminist). But human sexuality is definitely tipped in favor of men in society. That comment that douchecanoe up there made about "many keys in one lock vs one key for many locks" is a perfect example. That's really the only point I was making.

  • Lets just say I can't tell you what is wrong with feminism in 2,500 characters…

  • Feminism nowadays is cancerous so xD Feminism now promotes sleeping with as many men as you want and then demanding men to look past your sexual history. No one wants a girl who has slept with 6+ guys at 20 years old, sorrynotsorry. Same way for guys.

    Modern day feminism has turned into a fucking joke.

    • dis is true

    • And you know exactly what every man in the worlds wants?

    • @ShaeNielson I should correct myself... MOST men don't want a girl who has slept with 6+ guys at 20 years old. Ask any guy if they'd prefer someone who has been around the block and more by 20-25, or someone who has minimal sexual experience/is a virgin. I can tell you that the majority will pick the girl with minimal sexual experience/is a virgin rather than the slut. I'm pretty sure there was a poll on here too about this topic, and the majority picked the virgin.

  • No, I think it's impacted women's standards. I don't know very many men who are against their wife staying at home and not working if they can afford it, but I know a shit ton of women who think the very idea of it is insulting. I think women's attitudes more than anything impacting men's standards. Feminism is what impacts women's attitudes.

    • weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerddddddddddddddddddddddddddd

  • feminism is about equality, and most women use it as an excuse to have more than men when they already do, so yes in a way i agree, we guys just have to put up and deal with a girl having more partners than most of us guys can ever get, im 33 and still a virgin most girls my age already had 1+ partners already, and only a few guys can actually achieve that. wheres the equality in that?

  • Third-wave Feminism is a scourge on men, women, and all social relationships that exist in the western world. Modern Feminism has twisted the ideals of masculinity and femininity into something so unreal that most millennial men and women have been stripped of unique gender-centric personality traits and have become a generation of "Repeat After Me". Most of these progressives who think they are Liberal and Leftist are usually Statist punks who believe in equality, as long you never question why certain things should be equal. They are a group that doesn't truly believe in equal freedoms.

    Lets not forget most feminists don't truly want equality with men, they only want equality with men when they aren't given privilege over them, as long as they are receiving preferential treatment they are okay with inequality. Since feminism has found it's way into university and colleges and taken up space as Gender Studies and Liberal Arts, people are coming out of university and college stupider than when they went in. The only thing they learn is how to be a professional victim.

    So yes, feminism has affected men's standards because if any cis-gendered white male is within a square mile of hardcore feminist, he'd better be ready to either take a stand and be labeled a misogynist or bigot because all these groups know how to do is attack personally, or bow down and surrender his manhood and agree to the terms and conditions she lays down because he needs to dismantle his patriarchal white male-privilege, which is the goal.

    Feminists hate white males even though white males have helped create most of the social programs that help these groups. But back to the point, if a group hates you, but need to maintain peace with that group due to societal standards or fear of being ridiculed it will affect your standards no doubt. But that is a problem, don't let anyone tell you how to act or what to accept.

    "Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose."

  • Yes feminism affected men's standards, but not as much as you think. In fact female porn stars have a hard time to find someone who would date them, so many of them are singles or date other porn stars, yes men nowadays are more accepting for sluts, but not as much as you think. Women still want men to make more money? it's true for the most part but it's not true in case of women who date much younger men, those women are usually much richer then the men who are they dating, for obvious reasons, and it's mainly rich women like Madonna and Jennifer Lopez who can afford to date younger men, but it's still more common that men dating younger women and not the other way around. Women are right to not date men who is shorter then them because it's very unmanly for a man to be shorter then a woman.

  • What was the question?, LOL ;-P

  • There's a LOT more to it than just hatepigism. Though the hatepigs DID have a hand in it.

  • Feminism removed the chains from men that we didn't even know we where wearing. So yes, it has changed men's standards.

  • 🙄🙄🙄

  • In the past, men had the right to go out, spend time with friends and sit on their ass at night. Their duty was to put in a full days work, enought to provide for the whole family, with 1 paycheck.

    Women had the right to depend on their man for everything they needed and spend time with their friends. Their duty was to take care of the children, make sure the house was clean and that the man could come home after a long day, fill his stomach and relax in his chair.

    Modern day feminism has given women the right to work and sit on their ass at night, but not the duty to provide. It hasn't given a man the right to depend on their woman for everything, but it has given them the duty to make sure the kids are taken care of, the house is clean, and dinner is on the table at night.

  • If female sexual prime was 30, then the number of stillbirth and complications wouldn't increase greatly after 32!

    The REAL sexual prime for women is 20-24, and it progressively goes down after that. 30 is more-so the end of female sexual prime, if anything. People just procrastinate about having kids because it is a major hassle.

  • Please shut up

  • Thats cause 20 y/o chicks suck at conversation

  • You gave 2 examples of men choosing older women, and those two posters were most likely made by women in their 30s. I'm sorry but no amount of feminist meddling can hurt biology. Men want the 20 year old over a late 30 year old and that's how it is, women are more fertile and they look better at this time because of their fertility. Of course there are always going to be those weird guys that have a fetish for cougars but that says nothing about the average man.

    Promiscuity however is the only thing feminists have fucked up. They gave women the ok to be total sluts and men are happy to have sex with them. In a way, this helped men. Now men don't have to marry to have sex with women. Feminists for the last 30 years have been complaining men only see them as sex objects now they created the perfect haven for men to recieve sex without having to award women. It's ironic in a way.

  • I still think at least half of men prefer non-promiscuous women.

    As far as the porn girl, she's just one example and the fact she's attractive and rich probably helps. Most guys wouldn't knowingly marry her.

    • For one. While yes she has perfect female body and 10/10 boobs and comes from a rich family the guy marrying her is actually richer and not bad looking himself.
