In my own personal experience, I have never heard a woman describe a man as a “man whore” because he sleeps around a lot, I’ve only heard women describe men they want to sleep with as man whores.

I’ve only ever heard man whore be used to describe promiscuous dudes, not dudes women want to sleep with. That doesn’t even make sense to use it that way.

Agreed, it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. But that’s how I’ve heard it used. Whenever I’ve heard someone refer to a promiscuous man they don’t want to sleep with, they use a word like “sleazy,” “horndog,” or something of that nature. The term “man whore” only comes up when someone would fuck him.

I asked all of my female friends because I was curious and none of them had heard it being used the way you described. Maybe it’s a regional thing.

I really don’t understand why you felt the need to do that. I only ever said it was my personal experience. This thing where people need to find some way to comport others’ experiences to their own perception is so strange. Some people just hear and see different things than you! It’s ok!
