Why is that when a woman sleeps with a lot of men she is commonly referred to as a h** but when a guy sleeps with a lot of women he is commonly referred to as a playa?

If anyone is wondering, no, I don't sleep around. I was just wondering.

It is just an old double standard. Traditionally women are suppose to be innocent while men are expected to have experience. But being a player no matter your gender is wrong and risky.

Personally, I think society is harder on women because we are expected to think with our minds and hearts unlike a lot of men who think with their private parts. In my eyes, men are expected to do stuff like that but the standards should be higher with a woman. Its not right to sleep around either way, I’m just saying I can understand why that belief exists.

I think player means the same thing as when a woman sleeps around.

its an ego centered thing. men want to be the only one for the ladies. somehow they think exploiting women makes them more of a man---probably though if their conquests were asked---they weren't much. ***hope you're taking care of yourself**

Well I think both are bad. And neither to me are "playa's"
They are trashy.

It does not make any sense at all.
