    However the solution to "catty women" isn't to write off 51% of the population from potential friend-hood, it's to actually make more female friends.

    Good lord. Don't do that.

    Women are far easier to oppress if their energy is diverted into competing with each other.

    Divided you certainly do fall...

    I don't worry about it; the air is thin up here at the top.

    Only the strong survive.

    you think it's thin where you are... try being 6'1 and sporting 4" heels... I'm not ditzy, I'm just oxygen deprived.

    Given my proclivities:love: ....*shudder*

    In response to the catty women thread (and yes, I felt the need to start a new thread as that one had been derailed).

    I love this quote:
    Iand the only way we could survive is if a guy wanted to have sex with us?











    Well ya, BOB isn't as fun.:blushing:

    Chocolate. Other women be trying to eat chocolate when clearly it all belongs to me.

    I'm also competing against men for chocolate.

    you can haz my chocolate. I'll take the pickles.

    I mean, what were we competing for? Attention from guys? Like that was some kind of super-rare commodity, like we all are living on Mars and male attention is oxygen, and the only way we could survive is if a guy wanted to have sex with us? It sounds stupid, but I realized that was basically the paradigm under which I was operating.

    Attention from guys, in general, is indeed plentiful and thus worthless... because the most plentiful guys are indeed worthless.

    Attention from the best men is indeed scarce, because there only a few on top.

    So decide if you want the best or not, and compete or not...
    But they seem to do it without being so hateful. If 2 men are competing for attention from the same woman and one man "wins" it, they can still be friends.

    Usually. Most men can. Some get all bitter and snippy, though.

    Seriously though, I never understand people (men or women) saying they don't like people of the same gender. I think it's a warning sign.

    Men compete too. Get over it.

    Ay, there's the rub!! Women don't get over it. We don't let things go. Men do, perhaps we should learn to!

    I don't want to compete against pretty women. What does it matter who's prettier/better/faster/sexier? It doesn't.



    Also, I just like to hang out with hot chicks.

    why not? You're pretty. Also, I don't compete, but I love that pic, OP! I saw it in the catty women thread, too. “Compete with yourself. There is no reason to be jealous of anyone else. I say we congratulate and motivate, rather than hate.” ~ Bry Allen


    Aw! Thanks for saying I was pretty! And congratulations on having a rockin' body!

    Guys compete all the time too.


    True

    Just because we had a blood drive a few weeks ago and had some unhealthy competition regarding who could give blood faster...I mean, there is a line. We just haven't found it yet. :)

    Maybe the competition gets out of hand from time to time but how boring would it be if there was NEVER any competition. I prefer an interesting world with hiccups than an utterly dull one.

    I don't compete.

    We are all awesome. At the same time. All of us.

    What I learned today:

    It's catty, not caddy.




    Thank you.

    I had a female caddy once, and she was not catty at all.

    WELL HELLO!!!! It is in our genetic make up!

    SELECTIVE BREEDING. Same reason why the fanciest most colorful birds get the most action.

    At the end of the day, we're still animals and whatever *****y competitiveness we all have in us defines our species.

    This seems a sad way to define our sex much less our species. I'd rather say we were defined by our ability to feel love, friendship and compassion.

    It's survival of the fittest, in the purist sense. The female who can attract the best male (and vice versa) will be the most likely to survive another generation. Take some animal behavior classes, you will see the same thing from birds, monkeys, and even spiders.

    You only compete if you can't stand out on your own. I don't compete with anyone other than myself because I don't feel anyone else is taking my limelight.

    Me and my boyfriend play a game when we go out. It's called who can pick up the most chicks. That's the only competition I'm into
