I'm dying to know.

What's an instant label for slut? Or man-slut? Excessive make-up? Butt hanging out of a mini skirt?

What about behavior wise? Can someone be taken seriously if they sext or flirt excessively or something of the sort?

    A good way to be labeled a slut is to be sexually promiscuous.

    "SLUT" in gothic letters tattooed on the lower back. Generally a pretty good indicator.

    Or maybe on the abdomen, I suppose.

    How about your name tatt'd on your *kitten* so guys can remember your name during sex?

    TRUE STORY! I actually knew a girl who did that!

    If I don't know someone personally, I may think by how they act and dress that they are "slutty."

    If I know someone has been around a lot and slept with people's boyfriends, then they're probably a slut.

    ETA: I agree, odd question! :laugh: I'm sipping on a cocktail so I'm inclined to answer any random post.

    Women gets too easily labelled as sluts. Women who sleeps around is a slut, but men aren't.

    Honestly, there is nothing that boils my blood more than the word 'slut'.

    Like ghosts and souls, I don't believe sluts exist. Whomp.

    Men are players not sluts, well in oz that's what we call a male slut. A male who plays games and flirts with many women with the goal if getting as many of them as possible into the sack.

    Agreed. If you don't care about how your actions affect others, that makes you an *kitten*. Slut? What's that?

    I'm procrastinating.
    But since you asked...on the train ride home today I was watching this guy check out this girl in a mini skirt, and I started to wonder what was going through his head (besides the obvious). And then I wanted to know what made a girl a slut in the eyes of a guy.

    If I was a guy I don't think I'd judge by clothing, but more by how the girl carries herself. Her body language, eye movements, what she's doing, etc. would say so much more than what she's wearing. I knew an organic chemistry TA who dressed and acted very unprofessionally, but she had a PhD in chemistry and could explain concepts really well. Every time I judge by clothes now, I remember her and stop myself from judging. (Yes, I judge sometimes. Don't pretend you don't.)

    Also, when a guy flirts with me or something and seems like a pro at what he's doing, chances are that he flirts with everyone, and that's a major turn off. Is it the same for guys? Do they get completely turned off when this happens to them?

    She could have a PhD and still be sexually promiscuous? Is intelligence a factor in slutitude?

    It shouldn't be, but that doesn't mean it isn't. And there is a difference between being sexually promiscuous and just plain old unprofessional.

    Very true. Given the professors I've had over the years, the more unprofessional they dress, the more brilliant they are. I tend to have a different expectation than you did.

    "Slut" is a label for people, invented by people not getting enough. It's a term of jealousy and in some cases, outright envy.
  • The original meaning of the word was " A dirty, untidy woman". Someone who didn't do her housework I guess. Now it seems to mean all manner of things.

    I don't really see this as an issue of the girl being a slut. What you're really asking is what makes people perceive a woman as being a slut. And generally the answer to this is that he wants to have sex with her. It has nothing to do with the actual person, and more to do with how someone feels about a person. Slut is usually used as an insult - it's a derogatory term. So think about someone who hates/is jealous of/feels rejected by/is angry at another person, and that person happening to exist. There's your recipe for a slut.

    Generally, it has nothing to do with behaviour. There is no way at looking at a person and knowing their sexual behaviour - you usually have to get to know someone pretty well before they give you a detailed list of their past partners. Slut is a term used to shame people about their sexuality, regardless of whether or not they are promiscuous.

    As to the second part of your question, this doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the slut label, as 'slut' is primarily used for women in a way that punishes their sexuality while celebrating men's sexuality (player, stud as positive attributes and slut, *kitten* as negative). So even if it's equality unappealing behaviour, it lacks the same connotations. A slut is someone you use and dispose of, a player is someone you give a high five to. It's a double standard, so asking if it's the same either way doesn't work.

    <---Man-slut. I'm taking it back.

    And you know a girl is a slut if I like her.

    Beats being a prude. Life is for players, not spectators.
