Girls Are Mean Bitches!

Why are girls so mean? Feminine seems to be the synonym for backstabbing, gossiping, ostracising, taunting, cliquish.

At my last job, the majority of my friends there were men. Most of the women took longer to warm up to me but the men were friendlier from the get-go. Interesting enough, the women who were nice to me from the beginning were either married, in a steady relationship or a lot older.

Is it jealousy? Are we territorial? Does this only happen with attractive girls? No wait, it happens with just about all girls it seems.

It’s almost as if there’s a long screening process before being accepted. If you’re too nice, they scoff at you. If you’re cold, you’re a bitch. They only get comfortable when you’re politely indifferent. Why is that? Is it that they think you’re pathetic for being friendly but get mad when you don’t try to be their friend?

Does it all come down to competition for male attention? Do we get intimidated when an attractive girl comes on the scene because she would be the “fresh meat” and would distract the guys you insist you don’t want? Admit it; you’d miss them drooling over you.

Can we blame it on society? Or is this built into our DNA? It’s almost like we’re groomed for this cut-throat contest from a young age. There’s actually scientific proof that adolescent girls are cruel to each other and that this is more dangerous than male bullying because it tends to be passively aggressive. Thus, it would be harder to detect by teachers and guidance counsellors.

Girls are mean damn it!

Is it low self-esteem? Shyness?

Intimidation, maybe? “She’s funnier than me.” “She’s prettier.” “She has better clothes than me.” *Rolling my eyes*

Does tearing down other people make them feel better about themselves?

Perhaps it’s sheer bitchiness?

Well, I can’t figure it out because I generally prefer male friends any way (though I have a small circle of girlfriends I love). Guys are less complicated – that is, unless one of you has feelings for the other, then that’s a shit-load of complications!

Girls make the love-game ruthless! I wouldn’t condone women blaming each other (scary trend) for men being “doggish” (scarier trend) but why does it seem as if the number of girls who cheat on their friends are higher than the number of guys who cheat on their friends? And these are the ones who get caught! (You know women are better at hiding it than men.)

Or is this another lie we’ve built to tear each other down and give men yet another excuse to cheat? “It wasnt me honey! I wouldn’t have done it if she didn’t keep throwing herself at me! I swear!”

Girls, let’s love each other! Unite! Guys aren’t this mean to each other! Life might actually be a little less stressful, a little easier if we could just embrace each other.
