Over on Roosh’s Return of Kings blog, a dude who calls himself Tuthmosis has provided a useful list of “24 Signs She’s A Slut” in order to help aspiring PUAs to figure out whether or not the HB 6 they’ve been negging all night is going to eventually succumb to their drunken, er, “charms.”
Much of the list is basically rehashed PUA conventional wisdom: sluts have tattoos and lots of piercings; they dye their hair unnatural colors, wear revealing clothes, and have daddy issues.
PUAs really have a thing about women with tattoos, huh?
Others simply reflect a certain assertiveness on the part of the women in question: they curse, they talk about drugs or sex. Oh my! Must be a slut!
But Tuthmosis has a few more, well, novel additions to the list. Like #5 here:
Not ticklish. I’ve noticed that girls who aren’t ticklish aren’t so because they’re used to being handled (by men). Almost every prude is super ticklish, while sluts are rarely so. Sluts may have a physical response to light touching, but it’s rarely a tickled sensation.
Really? When I was young, I was very ticklish. Now, not at all. I haven’t been handled by a lot of men. (Not that there’s anything wrong with that.)
I actually tried to look up what SCIENCE says about ticking only to discover that it doesn’t say much. But I’m going to go out on a giant limb and say that Tuthy’s theory here is complete bullshit. Some people are more ticklish than others. Some people start out ticklish and get less ticklish. Some people like being tickled, some people hate it. People who look to Roosh for advice on how to lead their lives are assholes.
Tuthy’s #9 reason is pretty special:
Has extra body hair (arms, girl-sideburns, girl-mustache) and/or a low speaking voice. This, I’m told, is simple biology. More hair and low voice equals more testosterone. It’s an imperfect metric, though, because women of certain ethnicities are just more hirsute by default.
Oh, that’s why it’s an “imperfect metric.”
Oh, and speaking of “imperfect metrics,” here’s #3, which is probably my favorite:
Has “slut face.” You either recognize it or you don’t.
Works for men, too. Here’s Roosh himself. TOTAL slut face!
And then there’s #22:
Describes herself as a feminist or with any of its jargon (“pansexual,” “demi-sexual,” “cis-gendered”). You may not be able to stand a feminist long enough to bang her yourself but, in trying to prove she can do everything a man can do, she likely fucks with impunity.
Yeah, that’s not actually why feminists have sex. They have sex because they like sex. Feminists may be — on average — more blunt and straightforward about sex than most people, because feminism helps to clear out some of the fucked-up attitudes about sex that get in the way of people dealing with sex in a not-totally fucked-up way. At least that’s been my experience.
Also, you might want to learn what some of that ” jargon” actually means before spouting off about it. A woman who describes herself as demisexual isn’t going to have a have a one-night-stand with you, even if you do manage to successfully hide what a total douchebag you are for a few hours.
Then again, someone who calls herself a pansexual probably isn’t going to either, but that’s because you’re a fucking tool who posts terrible crap on Return of Kings, and there’s really no way you can hide that much douchebaggery.
@Falconer From what I gathered Rogan is the only member that comments here and Falcon isn’t a permanent system member- more like a visitor that comes and goes whenever zie feels like it. So you should be fine, but please correct me if I’m wrong.
That’s pretty much how I understand it too, neuroticbeagle.
Plus, it’s not like blog nyms aren’t going to overlap with actual names sooner or later – I’ve spoken to CatieCat on Pharyngula and I’m pretty sure zie’s not my Katie Cat! 🙂
Someday I’ll meet somebody here whose name is actually Howard.
That will be awkward.
I can’t believe people are dumb enough to believe this sort of claptrap…
Me grandda’ and Beloved’s grandda’ were both named Howard, but hers went by his first name because he didn’t like the name Howard.
Oh no! I fit some of those things on the list and have never had sex! How could I be such a slut?! I DIDN’T EVEN REALIZE I WAS!!
The one that gets me is about being an artist. Someone on a different website also suggested if a woman moves a lot. Really? Let’s see, I do indeed curse a lot. I am an artist. I move a lot because I often times can’t afford to live in nice places for very long. I have lost my virginity when I was 18. I have not had a lot of sexual experience. I had 5 years where I had no sexual contact whatsoever. I then got married and my ex husband had a large you know what. I never cheated on him or anyone else in my life. We have been away from each other for a year now (divorced) and yet I’ve not slept with a single person since. I don’t find very many people attractive at all. I’ve high standards for who I let close to my private parts. And I don’t use gross rubber toys on me. I never touched drugs, have no tattoos, never hung out in bars or had my boobs on public display. I do use sarcasm a lot. I do like to give gifts. So, being that my ex husband had stretched me out, me being an artist and the fact that I moved a lot and I curse makes me a total undatable slut. Right, got it!
