I've noticed this on here more than even in real life. it's interesting to see.
Men aren't like this and never have been. A man doesn't look at a man in affliction shirt and say "oh that man slut, he's just showing off"
A man doesn't like another man and there is hitting involved, then a beer.
Some ladies will just talk about eachother forever. How'd it get like this?

Perhaps they are less likely to just throw down because of their manicures? :laugh:0

The only thing I ever say about a lady is "how can she be so pretty?" then I will say outloud to that lady "you are beautiful!"
I think this is part of my low self esteem, always comparing myself. I have never once caught myself thinking negatively about other people
well, other than like 'why would that idiot get in my lane so close! grrr can't drive!' and the such as that but never personal remarks
I cannot imagine living like that. Putting down other folks? why?0 -
Psychological warfare vs physical warfare.
Both suck.
People should just grow up, honestly.
Just my two cents.0 -
I will all was wonder this.... Ive never being part of the "in crowd"...0

Not sure...
Women have always been each other enemies....But every once in a while we let our barriers down and make the best of friends...
Sex and the city anyone?

I think it has to do with jealousy and low self esteem. When you're ok with yourself and your world, you just don't care as much about what others look like/do/say.0

I tend to be better able to be friends with guys I think because of this. A - I get offended easily, and B, for some reason somehow it seems men relate in a more easygoing way than women do (in general).
It could be me though because there are lots of women who have a ton of women friends... maybe I just lack the right personality.0 -
men just don't give a *kitten*!0

I totally agree. I just can't stand the way I see women tear each other down.

you being a woman, wouldnt you know the answer already?
oh yea, its definitly low self esteem. Confident woman I know from fact dont feel the need to get caught up in such behavior0 -
Men do it too. I hear my husband trash talking people ALL THE TIME. I also have a male coworker who rarely speaks, but when he does, it's usually filled with juicy bits of gossip. It's rarely anything relevant to his own life.
I'm not going to lie and say women aren't catty, but to pretend that it's an issue that is exclusive to us is naive.0 -
That is actually something that I have studied and it all centers around insecurity. The cattier one woman is towards another, the better that other woman is at something she wants to do/accomplish. If you are an accountant, you are less likely to be catty/ugly towards a woman who excels in science. Why? Because that is not your specialty. Put two female accountants together, doing the same job, and watch the claws come out.
Women find it difficult to look for the good in another woman that does what she does, only better. I actually strive to look for the good in other women because you never know exactly when that other woman can impart something amazing into your life. It is a struggle, sometimes a daily one, however it is possible to see past yourself and like someone that you otherwise wouldn't.

Absolutely....women are vicious!! Some women are jealous of what another woman has that they dont! Its sooo sad! That is why I prefer the male species, they aren't catty!!0

And I do have to agree with this. The men in my office are gossip queens. Wanna know something? Ask them. Women will knit pick at things all the time, but men can be just as catty and gossip driven as women.0 -

I'm not all that catty. This is probably why I never fit in lol0 -
It is all kind of silly but society has decreed a mans success is based on his achievements and a ladys based on her looks.
We are both in a constant state of competition but with a guy it isn`t as much with another individual as it is an overall financial/social status.0 -
Here's to not fitting in and not being a catty bish. Here here!! :drinker:0

I used a picture of someone less attractive than myself so I don't get hit on too much0
