It has worse connotations than "player" or PUA.

Is it just a term applied by scorned, bitter women?

Is the word slut is just a term used by scorn, bitter, men?

No. It all depends on the context of how it is said. Yes society in general as but a negative turn/twist to such words. But really they are not bad words themselves.

I don't agree with the glib replacement of womaniser with slut.
There is no positive equivalent of "slut".
The are words like "stud", however, for men.

A man who sleeps around generally is regarded positively
A woman who sleeps around is nearly always regarded negatively

If you think this is an arbitrary double standard, fair enough (I disagree though).

Words mean fuck all, lesson number one in my book.

Some guys are hated for being "players", my gf and my gf's friends and my female friends love me for it. (Y)

Words are words ... I personally wouldn't care I do me and thats all that matters.

Like I said it all depends on how you use the word that makes the difference. As I have called my friends sluts when we are joking around calling each other names or just goofing off. Also in my example I was talking about men calling girls sluts not calling other guys sluts.

How would I feel that I just complimented on how good my pickup skills were?: Great.

Hate to tell you boys, but you do care what others think. That is why you are trying to be something that most of you really are not. Social acceptance is what drives most of you on here. So, please don't think you don't care. I see it in the avatars on here. I see it in the silly Internet bragging. I see it in how many guys want to give out free advice so that their ego is boosted for a few moments.

of course EVERYONE worries what other people think. its human nature! the thing is that everyone has different opinions, so it is impossible to please everyone at once.

as to being called a womaniser, all i can say is:

LOVE IT!!!

peace

Ive been called a womenizer even before i got into PUA. By my best friend who is gay. And he still calls me it even though alot of my friends date and screw around with women more then me. I had two LTR over 3 years plus and he still called it. But it was in a joking half daragatory half respectful way. I asked him if he really thought that i used women or somethig like that but what he really ment was that i could get a women to believe anything i said and could get almost any women i wanted. He called that womenizing. Which at 1st i thought he was trying to say i took advantage of them.

As for words for women that are similar to slut but arnt derogatory, such as stud is for guys. femme fatale means - dangerously seductive woman and is a synonym for slut but is not daragatory. It does not offer praise or glorification such as stud would almost but it also does not imply that it is a bad thing.

Hope this helps someone.

Do things right and no girl will ever feel she has been taken advantage of or bitter. Also I agree slut is just something guys that a) can't get with/handle the girl or b) are bitter

Everywhere you go in life people will try to put a label on you.


I don't care.


My friends call me a slut.

I would be happy and say "That´s me"

I would be happy because that would mean I have PU skills and I'm no longer a chode.

But I would be sad because I wasn't smooth enough for everything to happen "by accident" in her mind.

girls love players.
