Preach it. I was all “OMG!” and then saw the a date and was all :(. I hate these zombie threads.

I think that one goes in the “signs she’s an annelid” thread.

A segmented worm?? I looked it up to find a slang definition, but I couldn’t find one.

Color me ignorant and confused.

As soon as I read the words “MySpace page”, I checked the date of the OP. Yep, three years old.

Still can be turned into a fun kind of “advice thread”, though 🙂

Why the hell did people go off on Tony for his OP? You can be a slut for one person and that’s more than okay. Being a slut for more than one is a ho. He just picked a ho to be a slut for. Happens to the best of us.

If you’re only sleeping with one person, you’re not a slut by any normal definition.

His post, and yours, reek of double standard (she’s a slut for sleeping with him right away, but no mention of him being a slut in his OP) and he was being ridiculously obtuse. She demonstrated that she was a cheater the entirety of their relationship, yet he was suddenly alarmed at her being…a cheater.

If a guy tells me he loves me and would never hurt me, but continuously slaps me around he’s still abusive no matter what he says. It is action, not words that you should pay attention to.

But then I think if guys actually want casual sex, they should stop ‘ho’ and ‘slut’ shaming. But, then again, guys who use phrases the way you do are actually helpful, you show us that you are not the kind of guy that we should sleep with because that makes us a ‘slut’.

Every time I see this thread, I read the title as _Sings she’s a ho._

buh-Da-da-da-DAH

_She’s a ho_

buh-Da-da-da-DAH

_She’s a natural ho_

buh-Da-da-da-DAH

_a full GROWN ho_

buh-Da-da-da-DAH

Meh. Maybe somebody could channel Muddy Waters and come in and finish this up…

Bygad you’re right. Rather than being sluts on the first date and staying slutty by going home together and further slutty throughout 27 years of marriage I see now that I should have been a humourless bitter internet warrior making snap character judgements about people I hardly know based on a word or two. My two happily married children are no doubt so ashamed of me.

Extremely lame attempted joke playing on the word “squirms”. You really should have said “sits in his lap and\* grinds\* on him” (to which the retort would have been that’s a sign she’s a belt sander …😛 ). (But actually that item is not a sign she’s a ho, just a stripper…)
