Rule #6

Rule #6: Acknowledgement of a Double Standard is a Must for Power Play

The ol’ double standard. We have all heard of it. We have all experienced it. And no I am not talking about men getting paid more in the work place… No, I am talking about all you “Pimps,” “Man’s Men,” and “Playas” out there.

Fact: A man can bang multiple chicks in one night, have a threesome, hell, even have an orgy and be labeled "The Man" by all his friends. Yay, high five, knuckle punch. Fuck, go ahead and chest bump the guy.

However, put a chick in this same conquering position-TRAMP.

The guy could be single or married and he would still be praised for “still having the magic”. After all he is doing his job, right?

According to evolutionary psychologists, this “proven” double standard is just the “nature” in the gender differences. Their perspective (all of them males I’m sure), includes that these sexual behaviors have developed through human evolution relating to reproductive capacities. Because men have a greater reproductive capacity (i.e. are not the one getting knocked up and fat for 9 months), it is considered beneficial for them to inseminate as many females as possible to maximize the survival of their offspring.

*I would like to simply state that I know plenty of men out there that would, in fact, benefit the evolutionary process of the entire human race if they never, and I repeat ever inseminated anything.

Beyond the theories behind this double standard, I know very few women who don’t contribute to it themselves. How many guys do you have to sleep with in one time frame to be labeled a slut? If you are a woman and are willing to test this theory…chances are you’re a slut. J/k, but let’s not take that chance finding out.

I myself like to note the huge difference in being a slut, and being easy. Yes, if I want it and I feel you may be adequate enough to fulfill my, and I repeat MY immediate needs, chances are you won’t have to try to excruciatingly hard to get me back to your place (see Rule 5). Now, the girl who falls for any pick up line, every time, and gives before she receives…Sorry honey, that’s not just easy, that’s stupid; which unfortunately degrades you in all walks of light.

I know what you’re thinking, it’s all about the “number.” I hate to break it to you, men lie. Hey and guess what, women lie too. If you ain’t cheating baby, you ain’t tryin. So, go ahead and throw all those 4’s, 16’s, and “I’m a virgin’s” out the window.

Perception is reality here. The guy who's simultaneously dating multiple women is going to be praised for he is just playing the game. You know what else he’s doing? Mind fucking you. Because you know what? At the end of the day, you’re sitting there wondering why he’s plowed everyone else in that bar, but you. And the challenge begins.

You get your way and get laid, but you also are now just another notch on his belt, and now the whole bar is aware that you caved to Mr. “This Never Happens” and now are demeaned a bar fly.

If you sleep with multiple men in one night or different men frequently, you will be labeled a slut. It sucks, and your girlfriends will be more than happy to pat you on the back and tell you you’re not, you just got used. But let’s face it, at some point we start to realize you like getting used and abused, so now you’re just our slutty friend. Double standard? Yes. Can you do anything about it? No.
