I Don't Understand Women

I think women by nature are catty creatures. They bash everyone in society for being racist or homophobic, yet here they are, the women of the world, hating each other more than anyone else. Women always seem to think other women have underlying motives, and the natural defences are always up, which is why they judge before they get to know them as people. They're possessive creatures (even though they might not always know it), and when other women are in the mix, regardless of whether they're a 'threat' or not, it's instinct to dislike them. And of course, you can never rule out 'women's intuition'. Sometimes women won't like someone 'just because'. They're complex creatures... (no wonder they drive men insane sometimes!)

Sorry you feel that way, I hope it changes for you. But sadly I agree with some of this. It's why I only have one close female friend, I don't care for catty, bitchy competitive bullshit, soon as I see it, I'm gone

I think some women are jealous of other women and that causes all kinds of tension. I wish that all women would feel secure in their self worth and then I think they could get to know other women before they decide to hate them. Men who play games do not help the situation either!

@ATripToNowhere: I agree completely, a lot of the time the issue lies within themselves. But it's easier to put it off on someone else. I used to be the semi jealous hater type, way back, and I let the shit go and decided to work on myself. I'm much better for it, but I wish more women would embrace one another and understand, some of us aren't out to get them, don't bother competing, and it's ok to love yourself

Good for you. It seems to me that most women have an unconscious competition going on among themselves; and when another woman comes on the scene it comes out. Most women, whether they like it or not, like to have attention focused around them. If there's something taking it away from them, usually another woman, then she gets a little intimidated and typically starts to hate. Most women have a little too much pride within themselves. It's OK to have a lot of self-esteem but lots of women confuse it with pride and of course begin to hate. I feel they should stop hating and start trying to help one another and not be as judgemental against each other.

@ATripToNowhere: well said, but not all women. I'm the type that's content and comfortable in my own personal formation. I'm not the type that needs a lot of attention. I feel other people need attention too "women/men. However, there's no need for jealously and hate for other women. Just think of it like this, there's no such thing as the perfect women in looks, personality, weight, ect. What truly counts is how they truly are on the inside, and yes some good looks, but that's not everything that makes up a women.

On the other hand, why get mad,jealous,and hate the other woman when it's how the man gives the attention to them? I also look at it in another perspective it's up to the person who chooses to give their attention else where. We can't make them feel, think, and act as we want them to. Their just as human as we are. Then I guess some women don't have enough confidence in themselves. However, I totally agree with you they should help one another...

@shelikesher: That's an interesting thought.
