Perhaps the most frequently argued/misunderstood position in RP thought by blue pillers is the slut/stud double standard. That is, that a woman who sleeps around with many men is a "slut" but a man who sleeps around with many women is a "stud."

The main reason why the existence of this double standard has persisted for so long and why it is, in my opinion, justified is because men and women are playing on an entirely different playing field when it comes to the sexual market place.

To illustrate my point imagine two people: a man and a woman. To keep it simple lets say both are white and 21 years of age. Both are considered a 5 in physical attractiveness. So not extremely attractive but there's nothing very offensive about either one of them either. Even though they are relatively equal in physical attractiveness they both are experiencing entirely different realities when it comes to casual sex in the sexual market place.

A male 5 does not have the ability to easily attract women in his own "physical attractiveness league" for casual sex without some kind of social proof or status. For a female 5 it's a completely different story.

To further illustrate my point let's imagine they both set up a tinder account. Pretty much the epicenter of Western hook-up culture. A male 5, even with a witty profile and cool pictures, is likely to get very few matches at all. He may get one or two matches with girls his level of attractiveness a month (meaning female 5s), mostly he'll get the bottom of the barrel when it comes to women (fatties, ugly troglodytes, otherwise desperate women etc.). On the other hand, since most men don't even bother swiping left (if you're unfamiliar with tinder a left swipe indicates that you are not attracted to the person in their profile pic and a right swipe indicates you are ) anymore in 2014 her chances of hooking up with a man her level of physical attractiveness or even much greater is a lot greater. A female 5 could essentially fuck a man more attractive than herself every single day (probably multiple men) if she really wanted to.

The playing field is vastly different for the sexes that is why it is absolutely impossible to reconcile or abolish this double standard in my opinion. Especially with modern technology and social media in our current time period, the gap has only gotten wider. I'd say the slut/stud double standard has only become MORE relevant. The fact of the matter is that men who have bedded a lot of attractive women (if they are in the 5-7 range of attractiveness) more than likely worked very hard to get in that position. It takes skill to get there and that is why men who can accomplish this feat are looked up to by other men. Hence the "stud" label. Meanwhile it takes absolutely no skill or effort on the part of a women to endlessly ride the above average in attractiveness cock carousel.
