In today's society, the so-called "Hook Up Culture" is very prevalent among young adults, as opposed to actual commitment and label-based relationships.

This culture refers to casual sexual encounters every here and there, whether it be with someone random or not.

There are many reasons as to why many people may cater to this type of lifestyle rather than seeking out real connections from others.

However, it is known that males and females may be perceived differently in these circumstances a lot of the time.

An expert in sexual behavior, Dennis Martell, gave his insight as to why this may be.
"There has always been a double standard having to do with women compared to men who have multiple partners. Women are sometimes erroneously looked at as (not my words) 'sluts', whores, loose, while men are usually looked at as a player, stud, etc. Truly a double standard that should not exist," Martell said.

Since double standards regarding the Hook Up Culture are definitely very universal, what could be done to help judgments towards it?
