What Makes a Woman a "Slut"?

I think that this word is open to a number of subjective definitions.

Promiscuous: characterized by or involving indiscriminate mingling or association, esp. having sexual  relations with a number of partners on a casual basis. - Dictionary.com

Slut: a woman with the morals of a man

         

         A woman who sleeps with many men.

        The difference between a slut and a whore is a whore wants something in return, a  slut does it just because she likes it. - Urbandictionary.com

Surely, one cannot disagree that double standards exist between men and women in regards to perception of sexual behavior. In some of my favorite TV shows (Nip/Tuck, The Game, etc) the male characters have casual sex with a number of women frequently, because well, they "like it" and it makes them feel good. I imagine that some of the things that the producers discuss when writing these scenes go something like "He's a handsome bachelor, it's expected. This is the entertainment that the audience is looking for". But as soon as a woman who is not looking for a serious relationship dares so much as to pick up the phone to call Bobby who she met at the dinner party 2 weeks ago over for the sole purpose of satisfying her needs, her action is frowned upon. I too admit that I'm more likely to express distaste at a woman who is sleeping around rather than a man who is, because that's the way that society has programmed us to think.

 But really, if it's a numbers game, is there a certain number of sexual partners that a woman must have in order for her to be perceived as a slut? Or maybe it's having unprotected sex? Or maybe it's sleeping with a guy who she's only known for a week? Or maybe it's someone who charges for the cooch? Or maybe it's participating in a one night stand? Or maybe....

Question: How Do You Know Which Is Being Sincere?

Just wondering...a lot of females face this dilemma: How do u tell the difference between a guy who tells you all the things you want to hear, because he is motivated by bad intentions && a guy who is actually being sincere when he expresses his feelings?

Is It Possible To Get Your Heart Broken Without Being In A Relationship?

I don't remember if I've mentioned this on my blog previously, but I've never been in a committed relationship. I know that I've mentioned that I've been hurt yes, but I've never said "this is my boyfriend". I will explain why in a bit. First of all, let me tell you that I know I've been hurt, because it felt like someone ripped my heart from my chest, and stomped on it with his heavy timberland boots till the love, care, and hope drained from the holes....And when I've managed to finally stitch it back together, another comes along, rips my patch-work heart from behind that massive wall in my chest, stomps on it with his heavy timberland boots, and drains what little was left. Early this morning, I posted this as my facebook status:

Same shit, different guy. Same guy, different lie.

I got a lot of feedback from this: girls liking and/or agreeing, and guys opposing, one even liking it! Someone then went on to ask me how is it that I've been hurt when I've never been in a relationship.

How is that possible? I'll tell you how...

As long as mutual feelings are involved, and you both express your interest in wanting to take things to another level. The person swears to you that you can trust them not to deceive you, to play you..and even though initially, you were reluctant, you open up your heart, and let them in, with the mindset that things are going to work out as long as you take it slow. You believe them when they said you can trust them. Then, they go ahead and do some grimy shit, and simultaneously, "play you". With that said, how is it NOT possible to get your feelings hurt? Especially when it's a different guy, each time. And I said to that person who questioned me, "And that's why I've never been in a relationship. Because they hurt me before we can even get to that step".

QUESTION: What Do You Consider CHEATING?

My friend and I were discussing this last night.
I told him that I think cheating (relationship wise) is at least making out with someone other than your boo/significant other.
He said it's actually having sex with someone else, and that kissing & making out don't count.What do you think?
