Anonymous asked: In an interesting sort of "wake up call", I found out several former coworkers & classmates have unanimously described me as a "man eater." I'd heard the term before, but never truly understand how one earns such a title. As a former man eater, can you give us ladies some "signs of a man eater"?
Urban Dictionary defines a “man eater” in a variety of ways, but mainly, a man eater is a beautiful girl who leads on men and doesn’t particularly care about anyone else but herself.
While I didn’t get any joy out of leading on guys, I know that I did it. I know that for a few years I was jumping from one guy to the next, from one bed to the next. Some of those guys really, really liked me and wanted to be my boooyyyyfriend. However, I was more focused on attaining what I couldn’t have. (I was once a stupid girl.) I would start seeing a guy, we’d start sleeping together, said guy would call me all the time, text me all the time, show up at my house with breakfast or dinner in hand, would take me out on dates, would do this, that, and the other to get my attention, and all I really wanted was a steady fuck….or somebody that wasn’t within my reach. I wanted a plaything, a boy toy, a fuck buddy, somebody to call when I was horny as hell. I wanted the sex without the attachment. But when a guy got attached I was outta there, Speedy Gonzales style. I saw more than one guy at one time. I slept with more than one guy at one time (not a threesome, but you know what I mean…and always with protection). If you want to get shitty about it, I was in a word, a “slut.” I wanted the guy’s penis. Not the guy’s feelings and emotions and all that other shit and baggage that comes with being in a relationship. And yes, I suppose I’d use guys for sex without thought or care for their feelings. But I’d like to believe that I wasn’t intentionally disregarding their feelings. I just…didn’t think about them.
