    we all know the complaint regarding double standards

    a man who shags every woman he sees is a stud
    a woman who shags every man she sees shes a slag(or a nympho)

    is it a question of the mans the stud because hes the one "doing her" and shes a slut cos she "takes it"

    or am i missing the point entirley

    please discuss

    Meh, I could be different but how me and my buddy's see it is if a girl has been with a lot of lads (Not like a ridiculous amount) she's more seen as a girl who's "Well up for it!". I dunno, calling a girl a slut, getting with her and then proclaiming yourself as a stud sort of defeats itself, eh? How can ya be a stud if you shagged a girl who apparantly will shag anything? Mind boggles!

    i always thought this was fairly obvious. Its harder for the average guy to have sex than the average girl. Thus a girl racking up a high number is nothing special but does take some bit of skill if its a guy (assuming some level of quality control!)

    It’s all a load of bollix really. There are about a million reasons why people get hung up on stuff like that, but the simple fact is that very few people ever label THEMSELVES and are perfectly happy to sit in a world where they can throw thousands of other people into catagories.

    only jealous people would get hung up on that sort of thing

    Exactly what vorbis said. Guys have to work harder for their bit but Girls just have to open their legs.

    Wahey! At last as a proper theory on it!

    I also think that the stud-slut thing is being slowly shed. It's much more of an issue when people are in school;
    16-year-old men who manage to get a shag are light years ahead of their peers, and are seen as champions. Since sex is extra hard to get at 16, then those sleeping with everything around them are studs.
    16-year-old girls who have had sex are exploring their womanhood, but 16-year-old girls who shag everything around them are ruining it for the rest by shagging all the men.

    Bring that on ten years, and a 26-year-old guy who's shagging everything around him is no longer a champion, but a disease bag.
    The 26-year-old woman who engages in one-night-stands is asserting her rights as a woman.

    People in Ireland say stud? :confused: Right, they go on the Americanism-using Irish hate list, along with people who call their mother "mom".

    Ah it's just an evolutionary thing! The male is supposed to spread his seed around but the female is just supposed to bear the children. Anyway, it's ridiculous these days. I mean, all my friends are complete whores (male and female) but I still salute each and every one of them as a stud....or maybe just a studly whore!

    And yet you've historically given out **** when you got branded. Go figure.

    LOL. Anyone know of any really bad chat-up lines? The guy who plays Mike in Fair City (The curly grey-haired bloke) came onto my sister before with "Whats a gorgeous girl like you doing in a place like this?" She said could've collapsed cringing. Ha ha! Here's a few I know:

    You're so sweet you give me a toothache
    Did it hurt when you fell from heaven?
    Are you tired? Cuz you've been running around my mind all day!
    Your father must've been a thief cuz he hid all the stars in your eyes.
    *Check jumper tag on their neck* Just checking to see if you were made in heaven!

    *Shudders* Man, they're bad! Any other cringy suggestions?

    There are no studs or sluts-only stuts.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81,220 ✭✭✭✭biko


    I go by don't ask, don't tell. No way do I want to know the number of guys my girl has been with - that means she can compare my performance to theirs :D

    That's because she's special, as are all who got the chance to have an extra 21st chromosome;)

    Anyway, vorbis hit the nail on the head. Well done.
