Great perspective. We are too quick to categorize the 'sluts' and the 'good girls.' At the end of the day, the double standard does exists... but like you and Bunny77 said, break that standard by raising your expectations of HIM.
I agree with everyone so far.. just wanted to add another point that was kinda sorta mentioned already.
In MOST cases, the man is the one who is trying to get sex on the first date, NOT the woman. Some are up front with it, while others are more sly ("Want to come upstairs and check out this movie right quick?" )
I don't know ONE woman who initiated the sex on the first date AND had the man say no and have to fight her off because she was too "handsy" or talking about "Damn shawty, you fine," throughout the entire date.
SO... why are we giving THESE men the power to determine whether we're worthy of respect when THEY are the ones pushing for sex?
I know that I have been on first dates and a man has invited me up to his apartment for a drink or a movie... I say no, and then that's the LAST date I decide to have with that man because he has no business asking me that on a first date.
We may not be able to change double standards, but we don't have to always be victims to them either!
