manliness question

[Louis VI the Fat]

Just lay off us Brits! :P

B...but, but I think it a good thing British women are liberated.

Not in the sense of that whole 'playa/ho' thing, or chavettes, or 'my teenager life must resemble a R&B music video'.

But mature women, secure of themselves, who know what they want - yeah.


I think Britain is sexually more healthy than France. More promiscuous too, which is good.

British women are more promiscuous?

[Secura]

British women can be more promiscuous.

There, fixed it! :P

[Louis VI the Fat]

British women are/can be more promiscuous

Aye.

The days of 'no sex please, we're British' are well and truly behind us. The British are now the most promiscuous of all industrial nations. And British women even more so than men. (I do wonder how that works. Lesbianism? Foreign men () ?)
But probably what's meant is that a greater number of women have a promiscuous lifestyle than men. That is, there a few Kadagar Ubermen who do all the work.

BRITISH men and women are now the most promiscuous of any big western industrial nation, researchers have found.



In an international index measuring one-night stands, total numbers of partners and attitudes to casual sex, Britain comes out ahead of Australia, the US, France, the Netherlands, Italy and Germany.
The researchers behind the study say high scores such as Britain’s may be linked to the way society is increasingly willing to accept sexual promiscuity among women as well as men. They also believe that, among certain age groups and at certain times, men and women are equally liberal.



The researchers say that cultural developments have meant women are now as able to engage in no-strings sex as men. “Historically we have repressed women’s short-term mating and there are all sorts of double standards out there where men’s short-term mating was sort of acceptable but women’s wasn’t,” said David Schmitt, a professor of psychology at Bradley University, Illinois, who oversaw the research.

Great! Away with the double standard.

[Secura]

I still think those results are down to the chav culture we have here though. :/

Yeah, me too. I only know a few girls (single figures) who could be counted as promiscuous.

[Husar]

Why is it wrong to have hairy armpits? Most people are born with hairy armpits, why hate yourself?
I shave my face but I'm not running around saying people with beards are barbarians.
Even though I'm proud to be an unshaved hairy barbarian, "we" conquered Rome being that.

I'm absolutely not into promiscuous women either, I like to feel special, not like one of a hundred guys she's had. Yes, I'm selfish like that.

Oh and, that reminds me that your armpits produce pheromones, sweating more underneath there can only be a good thing.
Reminds me to change my user title back to "Pharaoh Pheromones".

Can anyone actually explain this? (Sorry to derail the thread, but the problem has been bothering me for some time.)
Sexual partners is the easiest way to do this but really it's a question of averages. How can women have a higher (or lower, I forget what the actual figure is) number of average sexual partners than men? Assuming the two populations are equal and same-sex intercourse isn't recorded, every instance of sexual intercourse would add to the average for both sexes, even if it is only a minority of women sleeping with most of the men? Does anyone understand the point I am (poorly) trying to make?

I think it's because the only way they use to find out is not spying in peoples' bedrooms but asking them, maybe women are more honest then, or they exaggerate more.

[Craterus]

So, theoretically the averages should be the same? I looked some figures up online (lost the link): in the UK, heterosexual men have an average of 16 female sexual partners while heterosexual women have an average of 15 male partners. So, the only causes for the disparity would be foreign partners (outside of the tested population) and dishonesty?

Note the researcher says that in "more liberal countries such as Britain women may even be becoming more promiscuous than men", ie this is his opinion on what might happen in the future, not what the situation is like right now.

I really don't believe women are more promiscuous the men, from my experience it is pretty much even.

[Secura]

or they exaggerate more.

We don't need to exaggerate about how many sexual partners we have.

If a man sleeps with alot of women, he's applauded for it and called "stud" or "player". If a woman sleeps with alot of men, she is a "slut" or "skank" or whatnot. Why would we exaggerate only to be plastered with such titles from men and women alike?

While I hate to make generalisations, if you go out to a nightclub, check out the women-men ratio; in the average club in Manchester, you're probably looking at two men to every woman, or thereabouts. Men seem to do, say and buy anything in order to keep a girl talking to them and not their friends or other guys. Women do not do this, we're fine with letting you come to us.

If we really want it, we could simply go out, click our fingers and someone would come running. Men have to work alot harder for their kicks, so there's likely a point where they simply throw in the towel and go home with the Heathers rather than the Kellys. We're alot more selective than that. :P

I knew a guy back in university who used to say that once he had made his way through what he called "the notties", he would only be left with the attractive women; he believed that having his way with "notties" was better than not getting any whatsoever, so he'd make a point of sleeping with anything he could. I'm not saying all men are like this... but I do think they're generally more promiscuous than women.

clubs are the bane of youth, stay away

Indeed. Overpriced drinks, generally bad music (mostly because the DJ is rubbish), too loud to talk.

Because the questions were probably asked anonymously. I still don't know why women would exaggerate then but it was an idea.
You also forgot to mention to the word chav, that you used earlier to describe women on pictures you posted and subsequently rated based solely on their looks.

[Secura]

Well, I wouldn't 'rate' anyone based on their appearances, male or female... it's their personalities and brains that would attract me or put me off, and I honestly don't find anything attractive about chavvy men or women. Check Wikipedia or the rest of the 'net if if you wish for information on them... the closest comparison I can think of is trailer park white trash in the US.

I'd hoped that the pictures (a chavvy mother smoking while heavily pregnant?, drunken 13/14 year olds?) could convey that sorta thing to you better than words could. :P

Oi! It's not the men in this thread who portrayed liberated women as skanks!

What are you slagging off my girlfriend for?
