Mirror Mirror On The Wall, Who Is The Prettiest Of Them All?

Women are their own worst enemies.

It's not as if all this is a new revelation to me... I've always known that women don't really like each other. Putting women together in one working or social environment (where there are other men around) is a recipe for disaster.

Sure, we can have best girl friends. I have 2. But the key to harmony is to take men out of the equation. I'm not attracted to the same men as my best girl friends. So there's no overlap... no competition. Of course, there are always other sources of competition (looks, bodies, careers?, etc)... but I'd say one of the biggest things women rival for is Men.

Women on women can be so harsh, and I marvel at what women will say about other women behind their backs. Hence the great draw of tabloids and gossip forums. A great majority of people who revel in gossip and rumours about other women are indeed women themselves.

It's plain Darwinism at its most basic- as soon as another woman gets elevated from the pack (perhaps she is seen to be prettier or more intelligent than the rest). The others slander her in an attempt to take her back down a peg. We want to put other women down to make ourselves feel better.

Have u ever felt the urge to smack a girls face for no other reason than perhaps you don't like the way she looks? Well... it's explained here- CLICK . But if you're too lazy to read all that, in summary- The study found that women of childbearing age rated other attractive women consistently lower than women who have entered menopause and men.

Oh we women are such insecure bitches aren't we.

One thing is certain, whatever the motives, we do ourselves a disservice by attacking one another. I tell myself I have my reasons, yet the truth is that you can never guarantee who is going to win me over or wind me up!

What do you think? If you're a woman, do you hate other women you're envious of?

And if you're a man... do you tend to hate other men who (for instance) have a great looking GF, or ultra expensive car etc?
