So what you're commenting on is my earlier response "No. It is, however, more often the case that a woman with loose morals would sleep with a guy upon first meeting him. I'd feel the same towards a guy doing the same - one night stands, or guys looking to bed a woman upon an initial meet are generally doing so because they're tremendously insecure and 'need' a woman's sexuality for self-validation."
...
I wouldn't (and didn't) say that someone who externally seeks for validation/approval of others is also low in morality. I do believe, however, that there are some validation-seekers who are also 'weak' morally - I won't get into venn diagrams.
So the later group of persons are willing to subsume their own values to their attachment fears; perhaps, as an example, one's choice to engage in the pursuit of bedding many women because they have an illusory belief it will make them feel whole, or somehow right a wrong from their past (either way its all done out of a perceived felt-sense of 'lack') - anything to sooth that attachment itch (addicts of all stripes operate in much the same way - somebody addicted to crack may engage in all sorts of 'immoral' behavior and do so knowingly but the impetus to experience the rush of that next hit is too strong - and the consequence(s) not great enough for them to decide to quit).
I did use the word "moral", and I will recant a bit in saying that I don't like the word at all (particularly its religious undertones) and what it conveys - a 'morally weak' person is, in my estimation, someone who is willingly to sell themselves (e.g., values and principles) to get a 'quick fix' (have their attachment fears stroked, if but for only a fleeting moment).
