Yes good you've said that about ten times now. The problem is that it is subjective, a slut for one person may be different than what is a slut for someone else, unless you can provide us with the exact details of where the slut identity comes into existence. So its a judgment call for each person.Danger said:No need to define it other than what the dictionary says, the study gives you all the measurements you need. Trying to isolate what "slut" means as far as actions or number will only generate a useless debate similar to people commenting on "what is alpha"/
Because it is subjective
Use the numbers and measurements as your guide.
The numbers and measurements are useless since a man will likely be dating someone with more than 2 or 3 partners, thus making the chance it will work out unlikely according to the study. They are even more useless since we will also not likely know how many she has been with to begin with.
Congratulations, you just made an assessment WITHOUT needing a definite count related to the word "slut". I told you that you did not need my definition!
You're right, and that assessment was that the study is useless
And of course, since the study shows the success rate based upon notch count, it absolute is helpful. Don't you think risk assessments are important before embarking upon life-changing events?
Not if we 1) do not have the data needed to make the risk assessment, and 2) if that data would not materially impact the risk one way or another, as evidenced by the study
The reality is that you have not yet come to terms with the problem, and even question whether there is a problem outside of it "not being fair that men want non-sluts".
The reality is that this sentence doesnt make any sense.
Why would you want to discuss solutions when we have not yet verified and agreed on the problem? Or do you agree yet that men should not commit to sluts?
What is a slut?
My personal situation is a great application of this study. I filtered out known and suspected h0rs, both of which likely would have been LTR's that crashed and burned.based on SUBJECTIVE judgments of "slut tells", not partner counts.
If you only judge the worthiness of a girl based upon her attractiveness and how well you get along with her, then you don't take your investments very seriously.
cool
There is a reason the trend in this study exists, it would be folly to cast it out since it does not meet your ideology.
There is no ideology, you're the one trying to create the rule. i'm casting it out because it has no application in dating, where we generally do not know a girls partner count to begin with.
You already acknowledged the measurements and risks as noted in your comments above, for which you did not need my definition of a slut.the risks tell us that for all practical purposes your or my next LTR will not work out unless we marry a virgin or one prior partner. Sweet study.
The message is simple, automatically filter out sluts and suspected sluts and you should increase the success rate of your LTR's. This is not rocket science, but it sure is painful to those who want to shame men into wife-ing up h0rs.
Im not disagreeing with the obvious truth that people who have been in more relationships are by default less likely to stay in relationships, im disagreeing that there is some absolute measurement of this likelihood, or that there is some point of no return where a girl will not stay in a relationship after she has slept with X people.
