So George Clooney, a notorious playboy with a sexual past that includes dating women much much younger than him and someone who despite maintaining in his 30's, 40's that he would never want to settle down with a woman, found no difficulty in moving on from one conquest to another.

His reluctance for commitment made him a far more desirable proposition to women with discussion always being along the lines of "who is the lucky one" or perhaps "who has the ability" to make Clooney settle down.

Check the sub-headline: " Meet the women who were unable to tame Hollywood's most eligible bachelor – until now."

Keyword: "Unable", meaning there was something the women, he strung along lacked and that it would take a really special woman to tie him down.

Take a look at this article: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2614569/So-did-Amal-Alamuddin-tame-George-Clooney-By-playing-VERY-hard-get.html#comments

Check out the first line and also comments written below by women.

Headline : Just how does a girl pull off an engagement to the most eligible man in the world, whose name is synonymous with the words heart-throb and commitment-phobe?

Ask Amal Alamuddin, a beautiful and brilliant barrister, who is reported to have done just that with George Clooney.

Comment : She didn't "tame", him, she's a beautiful, intelligent, independent career woman,to someone like George who has been on a steady diet of cocktail waitresses and starlets, he recognized that SHE was the great catch, and he put a ring on it to seal the deal, p.s she wasn't playing hard to get, she has a life and a job,I hope it works out for them

Notice how the article lavishes praise on Amal, she has something special that other women do not have and hence Clooney decided to make her the one.

Now people will tell you that Amal is an accomplished lawyer and hence all the attention.

But can anyone honestly tell me that prior to her engagement to Clooney did any one hear anything about her,

Would she have received such treatment if she had married an equally accomplished lawyer or surgeon and can anyone tell me the name of any other lawyer male/female who works on International arrangements and gets as much attention as Amal.

and most importantly IT IS THE WOMEN WHO ADORE HER SAYING WHAT A WONDERFUL ACCOMPLISHED WOMAN SHE IS. Despite her being 22 years his junior, ( not creepy here folks)

Now flip the genders around,

Imagine it is a woman who in her 20's who had numerous relationships openly publicized and then decided to settle down with a guy in her post wall days.

Would any guys be jealous of the guy who was marrying her or the guy who dated her when she was young and hot ( say 21/22)

The husband would be mocked or pitied by other men and be seen as a mug who is being taken for a ride.

Best Example :

Monica Lewinsky's life is like straight from TRP. She was alpha widowed by the biggest possible alpha male, POTUS. So it's not surprising to any man who knows TRP when she allegedly says: "There will never be another man in my life that could make me as happy as he did".

I mean after being with POTUS, how can you go up in hypergamy ladder? In Lewinsky's case it's even harder than usual, because even if she would get over Bill, why would any man with options ever marry her? Can you even imagine? That man would instantly become world's most famous beta cuckold. He would probably be constantly reminded about Clinton and everyone would laugh at him.

Remember that moment when Barbara Walters interviewed her and asked,"What will you think when your future fiancee introduces you to his parents and they know who you are? What happens then?" That moment when her face changed and she suddenly realized her entire future would be reliving her present. The moment she woke up to the fact that she had peaked and this was her entire life or more of the same. It went from witnessing a wreck to utterly sad in an instant. You can actually pinpoint the second when she hits The Wall.

Now more often than not, in an argument with someone you would want to get one up over the opponent by wounding their pride or insulting them

Now, if it is a man, no way would being promiscuous be a deterrent to his pride or his standing with women.

In fact calling him as an neck-beard virgin or incel would make him shut up or lose respect among his peers.

The opposite for a woman is slut which would shut her up and not make her fight with you over a point.

And hence the slut/stud double standard.
