Women already b***h about other women mwahahaha

This is true.

ah but, women b***h about EVERYTHING! and a lot of screw ups are man-based....so while they could complain they would run out of a lot of things. and even worse... they would be forced to go days...nay...weeks! without someone telling them how pretty they are /le gasp

Men are good for husking coconuts.

This is not true--I am complimented on my looks far more often by other women than by men, especially as I get older. Female clerks behind counters will tell me they like my hair or nail polish or something I'm wearing or that they think I'm pretty. Almost never hear it from guys (at least not from guys I don't know), except back when I was dating sometimes from boyfriends. A guy I'd just met briefly once told me he liked my dimples. But that's pretty rare, it's usually women who are more likely to say something nice about my looks. I think it's because women are more likely to offer compliments on looks to other women as a sign of being friendly rather than there being anything sexual to it. It's very rarely that I've had a woman compliment my looks and I felt like I was being hit on, it usually just feels like a gesture of friendliness.

What's ELE?

This is true. I have women complimenting me and oldie men always asking if I'm married and why I'm not married. I've had a few younger guy patients ask if I have a husband (none I have ever been interested in) and I usually tell them "yes I do have a husband - his name is Waldo." Then if they keep asking stuff I'll go into things like how me and Waldo have separate rooms and we don't sleep together - that was a mistake though because then this one guy patient got even more friendly when he thought my "marriage" was on the rocks. It finally slipped that Waldo was a cat and he actually got mad! Are you kidding? He got so crazy acting that I had to have another nurse take him over for the rest of the shift! He was a nutcase. That's pretty much why I don't get too chatty with the male patients. Although I did meet my first Aspie guy patient last weekend and got along with him rather well. Speaking of Aspies, I have had guy Aspies compliment me. That was nice. NT guys just don't do that except for my perv neighbor, but he didn't say anything to me, he told my friend Mary. You know, a compliment would have gotten him farther with me than ogling me like he was undressing me with his eyes. Perv. Yuck.

I agree. The reason some women are like that is because we are pitted against each other from a young age, making it about our appearance and sexual desirability to men (which is extra gross considering how young it starts). I've always liked and gotten along with other women. I was bullied in middle school, and it was split pretty evenly between genders. But yeah, most women I know are super supportive and compliment each other and help improve each other. I've never felt the same level of support from male friends ever. Even my closest male friends often did not have the same level of support and love that women I barely knew had with me.

Actually, speaking of, I encountered my friend's aunt grocery shopping last week, and she was taking to my friend yesterday and she said I was gorgeous and had an unreal face. I love getting compliments from women, they're usually from an honest, selfless place. Even wlw tend to compliment other women without ulterior motives.

^ That's so funny.

Did it even occur to you that we men are conditioned not to compliment women we barely know on their looks or on something they are wearing because it is considered inapproriate, and ir might creep them or scare them?

I mean maybe some men think your face is unreal - but as you obviously think men have ulterior motives (you said it), so most men are smart enough to not compliment you on it.

Also some women are bisexual/homosexual, so some might have ulterior motives by complimenting you.

and pitting against each other? Who are pitting you against other? I want to know the name of this evil entity that is doing that.

Wrong again mwahahah hahah women piss women of just as much. Also female friends also compliment each other all the time.

To be honest men who only think of women only like that aren't worth the effort of socialising with anyway. I'd rather just talk to women if that were the casr

Men complain and whine just as much, they just like to think they are being rational and not emotional. I think since women have to endure so much more criticism from society they tend to cope better. In general, they're survivors, and have a more human perspective which I find rarer in men. So many men can't deal with anything outside of their limited scope of what's "normal." Just listen at work the day after a favorite team has lost the big game. All of the "rational," "unemotional" men will be bitching about how they can't believe the imperfect, human athlete messed up a play.

And while I don't think women need someone constantly telling them how pretty they are, men definitely seem to have trouble reconciling talent and good looks in a woman. They seem to think she should be pretty first, and anything else is secondary (if it's allowed to exist at all).

You do realise what wlw means right? That would be referring to bi and lesbian women lol. I'm gay spectrum. Most of my friends are gay spectrum. Not just current ones, almost everyone I befriended at some point in my life is out as bi or gay now. People with commanalities are drawn to each other.

Most women don't comment directly on how beautiful other women are the first time they compliment them, which men don't seem to realise makes women uncomfortable when they do it. my friend's aunt had met me before, and notice that she didn't say it to my face - probably because she didn't want to make me uncomfortable.

Women also exchange compliments on clothes and makeup in a way most straight men seem incapable of doing. That being that they don't know enough about clothes and makeup to carry a conversation. When women and feminine presenting people compliment each other on that stuff, it's usually followed by a discussion about where the item(s) is from, maybe a discussion on colors and styles.

I'm referring to society but especially men. It's a very common occurrence, usually directly to women, to shame them for how they present themselves and to attempt to shame them enough that they'll present themselves how the guy wants or at the very least feel like they aren't good enough.

Men also have a fondness for giving women "points" against other women for behaving and acting "right." "Not like other women" implying that the other women are somehow less and that only certain behavior is worthy of reward, which the reward is knowing you're better than other women and different.

I'm not good at articulating these things but I've noticed them my entire life and considering that a large chunk of women and afab people have experienced these things too and completely agree that its a problem I'm not too concerned that some guy who in all likelihood continues these things through his own actions (passive or otherwise) disagrees.

Lol, I didn't think my bait would work that well... LMAO! Ah well, I have had my fun. Back to my life.

It's an Extinction Level Event. Basically something that would wipe out the species.
