Many people have wondered why society has a view that it is ok if males have had many sexual partners they are considered "players" and if a girl has had many, then they are automatically considered a "ho" or a "slut"? This is a very interesting question because it is exactly the same situation in both genders, but it all depends on society's view of the number of sexual partners. Many men strive to have as many sexual partners as they can during their lifetime because it is praised by other men because they are seen to be "players" and getting all the girls. Females are looked down upon by society and other girls when they reveal how many sexual partners they have been with because it makes them seem "easy" and that they are sleeping with a lot of people.
It all depends on what society has a view for because it could easily be the opposite sex's way of looking at it. But because of the patriarchal society, it is seen as a good thing by society when a man has experienced more than one sexual partner throughout their life. This is the reason why when a girl believes that in society's eyes that she has had too many sexual partners, many will try to settle down to find a relationship or even marriage. Men usually do not do this because it is not looked down upon by mostly the male society. Some women would not feel good if they found out that the man they were dating had more than six partners because they may feel that he has been with too many women for her. This is a problem in society because it may look down upon either women who have had "too many" partners, or a man who has had "too little" partners.
