I really wonder if "other girls" actually exist.

Everyone knows the "not like other girls" trope. I keep wondering if those "other girls" are really there. Like, the basis of the idea is "Other girls are skinny and pretty and wear makeup and go to parties but I like reading Harry Potter and wearing hoodies and watching true crime documentaries on Netflix." But I've met waaaaaaay more hoodie-wearing true crime stans than I have skinny makeup-wearing party girls. So...where ARE the "other girls?" Are they even real?

I think it started as a way to set oneself apart from the crowd, (whether it was warranted or not) and then turned into more of a joke cause everyone and their meemaw started using it.

"Other girls" are just [b][i]all[/i][/b] the girls (you think) you're better than 😜

@LucyFuhr My hypothesis is that it's rooted in the seemingly-innate human desire to be "different." Once being pretty and well dressed got mainstream, we started trying to be different by NOT doing that.
