Sluts are the only reason a lot of guys have any sexual experience. They have historically given many average guys a very needed bump in validation that not only prevents them from crashing out when cooler guys are getting most of the sexual attention, but gives them the confidence to talk to women in general and ultimately treat them better / date them seriously. That is why you have had, and will always have, sluts. That natural, 5% of the female population acts as a stabilizing mechanism, and ends up actually helping the rest of women. They are a small enough number than other women can shun them and still protect their sexual cartel; but they are sufficient enough that they can soak up latent sexual tension and keep the men peaceful and open to courting. The problem is that today, most women - who are not dispositionally sluts - have been encouraged to behave like them. Unlike true sluts, who are generally happy to enjoy casual liaisons and move on without undue attachment, these women cannot help but have investment in the exchange (even if they are the one exerting power), which engrains in them both resentment and contempt for men, as well as sexual behavior / standards incongruence (i.e dual sexual strategy). Most women, simply put, are not emotionally equipped to sleep around - and not just because they are all unable to handle being used, but because they are also unable to handle using. This is why you see so many of these women who initially feasted on what was available to them on the modern sexual marketplace eventually become prude and create all sorts of protective, controlling restrictions around sex (too little too late), or conversely treat sex fully transactionally. Because these women really wanted love, yet the practice of giving and taking sex hijacked the main pathway for them to be cherished by the opposite sex and turned it into a weapon. In other words, these women decided to use their tool to pair-bond as a tool to fuel their ego and get power. Once this becomes a pattern it's hard to recover from - not simply the self-esteem loss at realizing how they squandered what was precious (you can win battles but never the war), but in how it blocks them from opening up that part of themselves again in good faith, after all the games. In other words, they cannot only not trust men anymore, but themselves. It takes a lot of courage and humility on the part of the woman to put themselves out there romantically after this self-awareness, and it takes a man with a lot of both compassion and confidence to accept her. He cannot be a simp; she won't respect one after vanquishing so many of them. The man must be attractive, yet perceptive and patient enough to call her out her inevitable defense mechanisms and power games. Suffice to say, most of these men - who are either taken or have other options - aren't interested. And that's why we have the dating market that we do today.
