Does my bad rep make guys think less of me?


 

Check these out, too...

  • Help! My BF told everyone we kissed--but we didn't!
  • YOLO or "Oh, no"? When taking a risk is the right thing to do
  • Look. Love. Repeat.
  • Do long distance relationships work?
  • What he really thinks of your fave summer outfit
I'm a bit of a slut, but I'm OK with that, and so are my friends. But since this started, guys treat me differently. They flirt with me in private, but in public, nothing. Does my rep have anything to do with that?


Yes, you’re reputation has everything to do with that. Guys talk just as much as girls do, so if you hook up with one guy, chances are, lots of guys know what to expect from you. You’re setting yourself up for getting all the wrong treatment from guys, so it’s time to make some changes.


Even worse than guys thinking you’re a slut is you thinking you’re a slut and being OK with that. When you were little, did you think, “When I get older, I want guys to use me?” No, you probably wanted to be in a healthy and loving relationship, which you won’t ever get if you don’t have respect for yourself.


Start finding new things to be proud of, and think about changing your circle of friends. You should be surrounded by people who make you feel better, not by people who want to bring you down.

Okay so my BGF was said to have done "stuff" with his ex and current gf I have a crush on him and he knows it we r pretty close I seem to be the only girl he respects we both enjoy the same things. But in science my friends were debating what color my bra was so they called him over and showed him my bra strap then he ofcourse called over 5 of his friends to ask them they saw it too and agreed with my friends on the color and laughed. My BGF and some other guys have seen me in a sports bra before when we were on our way back from a basketball game I'm not bothered by it it's like a bikini. But my friends sometimes say I'm a slut for little things like that. Also there is a 8th grader who also did stuff who I kindly like but he always stares at me when in the hall or when I walk into the classroom as he is leaving. He's said some inapropiat things to me in the past and he always turns his head to watch me walk by. Please mod thanks soo much!!




Hey girlie,

I don't see a problem here! You're not always gonna make everyone happy - some people will talk behind your back, and some people will judge you. But as long as you stay true to yourself and never feel pressured to do something you aren't ready for, you're ok! Like if you ever started dating one of these guys - just because they've "done stuff" in the past does NOT mean you need to start doing stuff with them right away, if you aren't ready or comfortable with the idea. You don't need to do anything to keep a guy around. If he's respectful, he'll wait for you.




If you want to preserve your reputation you might wanna keep the bra straps under your shirt from now on, but you're NOT a slut even if you did show them once in a while. I think your friends need to learn the real definition of the word if they're gonna keep using it - even though they shouldn't be judging either way! <3

MOD MOD MOD: Hey the same thing is happening to me at my school, but I'm not Okay with people calling me a slut..my best friend knows that im not but it seem like every time I say no to a guy that ask me to do things there is always a new rumor going around that I did do something with them.. I am sick of the stupid rumors and because of the rumors the guy I have a crush on won't even talk to me and the guys look at me different. I don't like it and I don't know what to do and I think I've tried everything :/

 

Hey girl, it sounds like you might need to talk to an adult. Rumors are never something fun to deal with, but they can be especially hurtful when they create a bad reputation for you. If you aren't comfortable talking to your parents about the situation, then I would suggest that you see your guidance counselor for help. You can also try talking to your crush in private after school. Explain the situation to him and tell him that the rumors are really hurtful and that they are not true. If he isn't willing to listen to you, then he isn't someone who would be a good support for you anyway. I know it's tough, but try not to let the hurtful rumors upset you. Ignore the gossip--you know the truth and that's what matters. Eventually, others will learn their lesson about spreading lies.

caroline-No on the sexy pics,
I wouldnt be sending any pics like that to some guy who isnt even your bf. Guys ask for thong and bra pics all the time, and I know a lot of people send them and worse and guys even send us worse.

But if you want him to respect you I wouldnt be sending them just for his pleasure. Who knows what they do with them and who they show. I think its a bad idea. I know people wont all agree with me but that is my opinion.
