There's always been a great divide between men and women in many areas, but one that bugs me the most is when it comes to how they treat others of the same sex. For the most part men are straight forward, letting other guys know what is on their mind and if there is something that bugs the hell out of you about someone else the other party is going to hear about it. My friends are people who don't mind being put in their place when they're doing something dumb and I expect nothing less from them. Fights only last as long as the two people are arguing.
With girls, on the other hand, they play games. It's always so polite and over the top to each other's faces, but behind closed doors is the only time you really find out what a woman thinks of her friends; and for the most part, it's not good. The overemphasized compliments and replies just dive me nuts!
"You're so pretty, you should be a model!'
"Oh thank you! *hugs <3 <3"
Why can't people just say what they really want to say? Shouldn't the conversation be something like:
"You're cute, but you're no stunner. I'd still like to see you try so when you fall flat on your face I'll feel better about myself giving me some false feeling that I'm prettier than you and probably would have done better if I'd stuck my neck out"
"Thanks for the compliment. I know all girls are secretly jelous of me and you're no exception. It's good to know the you understand that I'm superior to you, not just in looks, but in every other way. I only keep you around so that I will feel better about myself, seeing as though I am just as insecure about my faults as every other girl, but I like surrounding myself with people with more obvious flaws."
How many times do you hear about a guy sleeping with his bestfriend's girlfriend as opposed to a girl sleeping with her best friend's boyfriend? It happens all the time. I know lots of guys(I know bad people) that have slept with friends of their girlfriends. I don't know one guy that has done that to one of his friends. It's just not done. I'm not sure what type of satisfaction a girl gets by doing something like that. Is it that you feel that if a guy is willing to jeopodize his relationship for sex with you that it makes you feel that you're prettier, or better than his girlfriend(your friend)? I'd really like to know.
Really, women, just get over it. The backstabbing, the lies, the inability to see other women as anything but a threat. It's all worth absolutly nothing in the end. Just tell people how you really feel, not in an out and out abusive way, because I think one step at a time is good enough. I'd just like to see girls for once say what they mean, or don't say anything at all. You don't constantly need to be offering up compliments to people that you can barely stand or answering questions with lies. Just be honest and treat others with respect. Maybe you'll get it back in return.
