Oh, and if she sticks her tongue in her cheek and makes a motion with her hand.

Well, it’s easy enough. She’s the one that will fuck everyone but you, because even she’s not that indiscriminate.

Loose women are not compact, Martial, and epigrammatic, nor do they mock the Juvenal delinquents.

Must not be a loose woman, then.

Wait, I’m not done. Whore-ass mus(tache) ridiculus. That’s some loose woman, right there. (Hor. Episst.)

I disagree with most of the above. My more consistent indicators are:

- a smoker
- not fuzzy about alcoholic drinks and food
- not fuzzy about places
- knows too many places
- overly cautious on the first pick-up line, loosens up a bit too quickly

I think this is a pretty good description of Britney Spears. 🙂

You can tell a woman is “loose” if she turns her buttocks to you and presents.

Back when I was a loose woman, I wore “fuck me shoes”, but sometimes forgot the toenail glitter.

Years ago in an auto shop (I think) I saw a sign that said, “Loose women tightened here.” Later I asked a buddy of mine, “So, how do you tighten a loose woman anyway?” He said, “I dunno. Adjustment screws?”

Sending mixed messages - fuck me pumps and grody, ragged toenails? 😃

Did you just seize?

…well, keep it up. It’s an improvement.

She and all her friends gather around at the lakeside to honk aggresively at passers-by and snatch breadcrusts out of brave children’s hands.

…oh, _loose_. Never mind.

I check if she’s your mom.

What, I only expend as much effort in threads as the subject matter deserves. This thread only ranked a yo’ momma joke.

The third coat of polish, the glittery stuff. I started wearing boots when I was about 30 just to hide my not loose looking toes because I didn’t have time to do the third coat.

I like to wear “don’t fuck me” flip flops with “don’t fuck me” unpainted toenails.

I don’t think you have a very solid understanding of the male mind. _Monkey Business_ is an excellent documentary.

Well, since nobody can seem to fucking spell the word “lose” anymore, I just challenge the lass to a game I know I’ll beat her at, and the way I see it, she’s loose if she “looses”.

Oddly enough, I associate Fanta with some time I spent in Brazil several years ago. Sooo many cheap whores.  
Seriously, I think like half the people on this board are virgins at 25. What do they know of “loose women”?  
As a serious answer to the OP, I generally assume any woman trolling for guys at a W hotel is “loose”. As is any woman frequenting a Manhattan bar in Murray Hill, Turtle Bay or MacDougal St or any bar in Hoboken. Pretty much any woman in any bar over the age of 30. Or under the age of 30. Pretty much any woman in a bar after 10 pm.

The least attractive woman in a group of friends seems like she’d be more up for things. As Bill Cosby said ‘the ugly one is the only nice one’. Also a woman who isn’t very attractive but seems like she is trying really, really hard to be attractive is a sign to me.

Do things like tight clothes with words written across the ass actually imply loose? I usually interpret those as the opposite. The women are more attention whores who aren’t really going to do anything other than let a guy pursue them. How does someone distinguish loose women from cockteasing attention whores?

I have very few skills with women, so take my opinions for what they are worth. If someone else’s mind operated in my body I’d probably get laid more.

What I always look for is that small minded judgmental attitude. And the snark.

I swear to Jesus, they shouldn’t let women like that run around … loose.

That sounds more like a woman who went to rock concerts in the 80s. But I guess those women were loose.

Sure, you say ‘don’t fuck me’, but I smell Funions on you.
