This is in response to an article on deepika and rakhi .... rakhi questioning her about her frequent changing boyfriends...

I personally do not like deepika at all - i find her completely overhyped... but when i see regular jokes about her relationships, i have to wonder about our mentality
why is it that when a boy has a lot of girlfriends, he is a lady-killer ... or he is a poor mis-guided soul looking for true love ....... whereas a girl is one with the loose character ?
I think the difference in attitude towards boys and girls has been discussed many times here .... i have 2 more issues ...
1) its us girls who seem to be more eager to comment on another girls character and term her loose or vulgar ...
2) specifically to IF, from what i gather (though there is no scientific background to this observation) - ppl on this forum are from diverse backgrounds, cultures and countries ... but i think most of us are in the younger age bracket ... mostly below 30-35 ..... if we, the young ppl, the today's generation hold such narrow views then what is the hope for a better society ?

I'll just reply to ur overall broader question and won't go into whether it's the girls or IF members who have a narrow view of things.
To be honest, noone appreciates a guy who changes GFs every week. I don't think u r entirely right if u think that just being called a stud actually means being appreciated. Sometimes it's done just to mock someone or they say it in front and hate him when he is not around.
For example, take the case of Salman Khan and show me one single person (apart from drooling teenaged girls or street side romeos) who actually appreciates his nature of leaving one GF after another. Every one would have liked it better if he settled with one.
Some people say that men who oppose such behaviour do it out of jealousy. But I think it's not out of jealousy but cause how hurtful it can be for the other person involved in the relationship and who was not really prepared for his or her partner to walk out.

I agree with Bips that it is girls who are more likely to judge another girl, it may be because of jealousy or our sense of values but we do it. I know personally my level of tolerance for a girl is a lot lower than for a guy, I don't think of him as a stud, I just expect less from a guy. I do disagree with k-ekta fan that what ever happens is a girls fault because she is more mature, it is just that more is expected, if we all (me included) expected more of men they would rise to the occasion. Especially now when so much can happen to both genders (in regards to their health) both need to take responsibility and protect them selves.

You know it's a coincidence, I was just thinking about this the other day. I think that type of fickle behavior is not necessarily widely accepted in guys but it general people have a higher tolerance level for a guy.
But then I came to this conclusion, we're generally just more emotionally mature than guys. We know what we want from a relationship and most of the time don't look for short termed flings. So people generally have higher expectations from a female.
Don't want to start a gender war, just posting my honest opinion.

I think guys who have lots of girlfriends are called a lady-killer because he has girls all over him but in my personal view, whoever has lots of girlfriends is a poor mis-guided soul looking for true love.
a girl with a loose character actually depends on the girl but I thought a girl who had a lot of boyfriends is a lady .... kher no worries, just my thought .... I think the girl who's a loose character possibly might be her fault because if she keeps switching boyfriends than she's just searching for true love.
1) its us girls who seem to be more eager to comment on another girls character and term her loose or vulgar ...
I agree with you but I think there are some girls who don't comment on another girl's character, possibly or maybe it's just me 😆 (no offense). I think we girls are always eager to comment on another girl's character because we girls can't grasp anything in our stomachs or keep it inside us so that's why we just have to let it out to help us make ourselves feel better 😛
2) specifically to IF, from what i gather (though there is no scientific background to this observation) - ppl on this forum are from diverse backgrounds, cultures and countries ... but i think most of us are in the younger age bracket ... mostly below 30-35 ..... if we, the young ppl, the today's generation hold such narrow views then what is the hope for a better society ?
I'm 21, going to turn 22 three days after India's Independence Day. I agree, if we hold narrow views than there's not that much hope for a better society unless if we young people can change our narrow view habits.

I think this lies mainly in the fact that everyone has an underlying assumption that females are always more mature than men. So while men can go around dating how many ever people they want with the statement "Can't find the right girl", girls have tags that i can't even mention here.

However, let's think of it practically, in most cases, girls ARE a little more careful, and do choose their dates/boyfriends with care... So if after all this care that they take, they STILL end up not finding the right person, I'm sorry to say, it does speak quite bad of her character.

I agree that it is unfair on the women, however there is some truth in it too.

Before I comment on this *gender discrimination* topic, I would like to share a message i recieved a few days back.
ITS A GIRL'S WORLD
If a girl laughs loudly, she is cheerful. If a boy laughs loudly, he's mannerless!
If a girl talks sweetly, she is charming. If a boy talks sweetly, he's a flirt!
If a girl is shopping she is trendy. If a boy is shopping he is wasting money!
If a girl is silent, she is feeling sad. If a boy is silent, he being rude!
If girls walk in a group, it's a group. If a boy walks in a group, it's a gang!
*and for those who understand urdu/hindi*
Kuri na ho gai
Farishta hi ho gai.
Now, i must say *with no offense to the females out there, i am one too* that we have it by birth in our nature--to gossip. Right, Kareena broke up with Shahid. I just LOVE the Genelia/Imran couple, too bad he has a girlfriend. I wish I could MARRY Jesse McCartney, blah blah...And seeing Deepika holding hands with Ranbeer K. gets us all off our rockers. *OMG she is such a FLIRT! look at her that drunk look she gets. (Yeh movie walay bhi na!)
I agree totally that we have a problem of *ahem* narrow-mindedness. But its not just that. We can't see anyone happy. If a girl is friends with a guy and the other is her lover-boy, doesn't mean she is hoisting two boys at the same time. I know Imight be one of the youngest in this forum, and its not exactly right for me to say that...but id suggest *grow up!* live and let live. Zac Efron is still cute enough even if he is commited to Vanessa Hudgens. Vidhya Baalan looks really cute with Shahid Kapoor in Kismat Konnection, who cares if they're not going out. Who CARES???
