There is no double standard. Guys are called "players" because they must compete with one another to get a female to pick them for sex. Women are called sluts, because they don't have to compete with anyone. Will they have to compete for the hottest/richest guy? Yes, but if the goal is just sex, they have zero trouble at all. It's the opposite for men. Women don't lower their standards for sex, men have to. Why do you think prostitution has such high monetary value for women? Because it's basic human biology, it doesn't swing that way for males. There is no way to make money as a male prostitute, unless you are outrageously attractive. So, you are called a slut because you are not "beating" out anyone else for sex, you simply are manipulating basic human biology for sexual gratification.

Completely different sex drives and motivated by different stimuli. Men are biology geared to constantly want to spread their seed, and they want as many partners as possible. More partners means greater chance their seed will be passed on. Women just want the best seed, so they are more selective of their mates. They don't want just anyone, but because men DO want anyone, women can exploit that biological difference. The reason this isn't a double standard is backed by simple biology.
