That was NOT the question. The question is whether it is slutty.

Sorry, I didn?t realize that I needed to respond to the question in a specific way, which is agreeable to you.

Even you seem to agree that it is, but find that train of thought to be "old school". Uh, sluts have been around since Biblical times, so I guess that's pretty old school alright.

I imagine people have been enjoying sex for as long as we?ve been populating the planet. Unless they did it out of duty all those years ago! I also imagine there were a lot more sluts in years gone by, before religion and the like started people to doubt their natural inclination to express themselves in ecstatic ways, without any guilt trips.

Would you want your daughter or wife looking like a tramp, whether she happens to be that way or not.

I see we?ve moved from slut to tramp in the blink of an eye. Can we sort out the slut stuff before we move on to tramps? Please give me a chance to satiate myself with my slut, before I go looking for a tramp. Any clues on what I should be looking for when trying to identify a tramp? If you?re thinking bellybutton ring, then my lover counts as a slut and tramp. Hey, I?ve hit pay dirt, two for the price of one 🙂

Here's a hint. The only people who like the slutty look, are men looking to get some. And, I doubt they particularly want to marry someone who "is" a slut, so I really don't understand why a girl would want to emulate one.

Let me put my hand up and say, I WAS LOOKING FOR SOME AND I?M NOW GETTING SOME. Well I?ve got that off my chest, I can relax now.

I wouldn?t want to marry a woman who didn?t enjoy sex and I don?t care if she?s upfront about that to the world at large. It?s a bit premature for me to be thinking of marriage, particularly as I stated that she?s my lover and a recent one at that. So we?re aren?t even in a relationship per se. She?s a single mother and has a wonderful 13 year old daughter. I think children say a lot about their parents, so in this case she?s been doing something very right for a long time. A lot longer than the vogue for lower back tattoos, but unfortunately not as long as women have been attacked for openly enjoying sex.

Am I NOT speaking English, or what? Appearing to be a slut (or tramp, same thing), is NOT the same as BEING a slut.

Tattoo on girls' lower back = slutty?

Survey says, YES! Simple, no?
 
Every girl I know (friends with or they are dating my friends) with a lower back tattoo would blow you faster than a kid blowing candles to get to his presents.

I honestly can't follow the train of thought of people with that kind of mentality.

Certain actions make a girl slutty, not a tattoo or thong... these are just things in fashion. Granted there are exceptions in the extreme ends, but otherwise I honestly believe most of you need to get out more.
 
I can make it real easy for ya. If you were a woman, dressing up for Halloween, and wanted to look "slutty", how would you do it? Seriously, what would you wear to pull off the effect?

It was sexy 10 years ago when it was still exotic and cutting edge - now that every sorority bimbo/aerobics instructor/trailer queen has "ass antlers" it just looks trashy.

Yes. "ass antlers" HAA!!! Rolling on that one. Thanks.
 
I honestly can't stand tattoos on women. Anywhere. I can put up with them on ankles, but that's about it. Anything above the knees makes me puke. It's such a stupid fad, and I love naturalness. I can easily look past scars, burns, anything like that, something the girl didn't do on purpose. But good grief, I absolutely hate tattoo's, and I have, at many times, NOT asked girls out because of them.
 
I know girls who are sluts but they have NO tattoos. Does that throw a wrench into this scientific survey?

When you label someone a "slut" it has to do with their sexual activities... I'm not sure how you can "look" like a slut... or how something can be considered slutty.

I know women that screw like jackrabbits, but they "look" like regular girls. Shhhh, it's a secret.

Someone wrote:

Tattoos and/or piercings on a girl = Slut. PERIOD

But the sluttiest women always have a Tat or something pierced.

The girls with tats sleep around, period. Trust me.


If girls with tattoos sleep around, there are more girls without tattoos who sleep around. Girls in high school and college are having unmarried sex all the time... with or without tattoos...

Who cares...
 
NO!!! The girls with tats sleep around, period. Trust me, try and find a girl with a tat that is 25 or older that can still count on 1 hand the number of people they have slept with.
Or find more then 1 virgin that has a tat.

I have been to more parties in 2 years then most will see in a lifetime. I went to a beach college and traveled between NC and SC and hung out at many schools. I played baseball and sluts ALWAYS run to athletes. Some of use just toke more advantage of the ?opportunities? more then some others.

And its not that I THINK they are sluts, I KNOW they are sluts. Either by great knowledge or first hand exp.

Tell it like it is Marlin.😀 These geeks are lucky to get whatever they can get and willing suspension of belief plays a big part on them ignoring thier tatooed/pierced girlfriends and wives were banging three-four at a time in college.

(*not that theirs any problem with that...I just would'nt marry one or let her raise my children...wayyyy to much emotional baggage and games with sluts)

Agreed, but only for the woman in question. She KNOWS whether she is a slut or not, be it a conscious or unconscious knowing. You on the other hand only have your BELIEF, which is based on how the woman APPEARS to you. So if she APPEARS to look like a slut to you, for whatever reason, then to all intent and purpose, she is a slut in your REALITY.

Now some people are wise enough to see the difference between appearance and actuality and to act accordingly.
Quite a few posts in this thread seem to point to people with very fixed ideas about what a lower back tattoo means to them. I personally believe that shows a limited and rigid mind set and don?t find that an appealing trait in a person.

If everybody thought that there was no correlation between APPEARANCE and ACTUALITY, then I?m thinking, ?What?s the point of this poll?? Surely people do think that there is a strong link between appearance and reality and that?s why they responded to the poll. If there were no link between appearance and reality, then the poll would be totally subjective and have no value in consensual reality.

Maybe I misread the intent of the original post? I just thought it was being down on women who dress like sluts, which pressed my buttons. I thought maybe the guy was just sexually frustrated and wanted to vent his spleen by dissing women, which I thought was bad form and somewhat futile. It?s a bit dumb to diss the very thing you want. You end up reinforcing the situation that you want to change.
But maybe the guy was sexually frustrated and he wanted to do something positive about it. So he was just asking if women with tattoos were more likely to give him some action. Now that I can relate to, doing something positive about a situation that you want to change.

Uh, in case you guys didn't know, tattoos on the small of a girls back is art. Ya know, just somethin' to look at, while you're taggin' it from behind. Could also be a target. 😛

Yeah, they're slutty\trashy.
 
Yeah, they're slutty/trashy.

What is slutty and trashy? The girl or the tattoo? You just said that a tattoo is art, so how can art be slutty? Can a painting be slutty?

Girls are called sluts because of their actions... not clothes, tattoos or piercings. If a girl decides to have promiscuous sex, it has nothing to do with anything painted on her body.
 
they are NOT slutty d00d what on earth are you talking about!? Yeah a lot of sluts have em but a lot of sluts have tats in lots of places, i know some very nice girls who have tats there, also recently they have become more popular there so it is the trendy thing to do so more ppl have em and yes even sluts get em and then you run into them thinking all girls with a tat there are sluts.
Also if you look up what tat placement means it is believed that a tat on a girls lower back means she is secretly sexual... a slut owuld be openly sexual lol

It's the most logical place for a woman to get a tattoo. When a woman gets older, it won't sag or look nasty compared to other places like arms or legs.

It is not slutty and I also agree with wfbberzerker "the slut makes the tattoo, not the other way
around"

My Sister and I both have the same one that was done at the same time. It is a symbol of our
Sisterhood.

I've also heard quite a few people say it is a symbol of strength because it hurts so FVCKN Bad!
You're strong if you don't pass out from the pain.

It is a personal choice that I have never regretted...and I'm also an older Mom and it is NOT sagging or looking bad.

Personal experience is not always valid as an arguement.

There could be a guy and his friends that hurt their legs doing squats. This doesn't mean that squats are bad. Just that what 'they' did was possibly bad or something.

Their is no slut with a tatoo ont he lower back. People are too judgemental. If she slept around a lot then she could be deemed a slut. Or a girl that just likes to have sex with protection. No different from a guy if he could do it himself.

Girls with Tattoos look really slutty. They can be drop dead gorgeous but when I find them with a tattoo, they completely lose my interest.

Looking slutty and being slutty is different. Girls with tattoos do look slutty not to say that they are. Not a personal attack on you and your sis.

-------------------
It's also more popular to be slutty...coorelation perhaps?
 
If these girls only knew their tattoo was chinese for sayings such as "Big ass below", etc.

That's always been the way I gauge if a girl is a slut. Notice they will ALWAYS wear something to show it off, no matter if it is the middle of the winter or not.
Hah. Was gonna say those same two things.

There was a study somewhere that indicated that girls that got tatoos anywhere were more likely to use or abuse illegal substances/alcohol and to be more promiscuous.
I can confirm that, in my experience.

BTW, isn't it only younger people getting the back tattoos, whereas the, say, 25 and up people get small ones on the shoulder blade, ankle, lower ab instead?

A few things...
Say what you want, in general, people get tattoos because other people have them.
If somehow someone knew that no one else would ever see their tattoo, do you think they'd still get it? Probably not.
I don't like tattoos.
