There seem to be some folks who have taken offense at this thread because they are under the mistaken impression that all skanks are females. Nay! Skankiness is an equal opportunity affliction! It knows no boundaries of gender, race or creed!

There are at least as many male skanks as there are female skanks. The problem is that it is often difficult for guys to detect skankiness in other guys and, even when they do, they don't want to talk about it. If a guy admits that another guy is a skank then he is admitting to the possibility that he may be one too.

On the other hand, it is usually not difficult for women to detect skankiness in other women and, when they do, they love to talk about it. How many times have we heard two females talking between themselves, usually over Long Island Ice Teas, refer to a third female as "a skanky old road whore"?
