[Body blow … a woman’s appearance faces more scrutiny than a man’s]

Tramp stamps are more of a put off than some natural womanhood.

Women's appearance does face more scrutiny and criticism, but it's usually from other women.

She probably didn't buy those jeans knowing she would have a muffin top. She probably just gained some weight. You arn't gonna go out and buy a whole new wardrobe just cause you gained 15 pounds.

people's weights fluctuate. She probably looked great in those jeans when she bought them.

no, trust me, men are just as critical of women's appearance. As a gay man i hear what both women and men say behind people's backs, and str8 men are just as critical if not more.

I agree with this. It annoys me when both men and women also claim that women are bitchy and men aren't etc as well, men are just as bad

We are not bitchy. We call it honest constructive criticism.

I haven't found this. I find women, generally, to be quite manipulative, secretive, cliquey and quite complicated, whereas men, generally, I find to be much simpler creatures. I'm not saying that men can't be bitchy, but I have always faced far more bitchiness from women than I ever have from men.

I agree, Livia. Most women in my workplace are like that. But the men are more friendly and easy going.

I strongly disagree with those, I've come across bitchy men and bitchy women in my life and non bitchy men and non bitchy women. Generalizing based on gender like that is ridiculous, we're all individuals

I agree, but i think men are less bitchy in general.

So you're still generalizing then........

In my r/l experiences and also online experiences I've come across many bitchy people in both genders, in fact online I've come across alot more bitchy men

hhhmmmm, I still disagree that that's the case, it annoys me so much when women say that about other women as well. I think we're all just made to believe it's true. Like we're told that women are jealous of other women but in reality men are guilty of this as much if not more, like if you take this forum as an example, I'd bet my life that if you scrolled through the Hot Girl thread you'd find less posts from straight women running down the women in there or trying to derail the thread then if you went into the Hot Guy thread to look for the same thing from straight men

I see it at work everyday. I've never met a bitchier bunch in my life.

Women are all bitches end of. They should remain at home with the kids.

Women are definitely more bitchy than men from my experience. I dont tend to get on with many women because of this..whereas only a few men I know constantly bitch (and they are gay..but lets not open that can of worms )

It used to really upset me, but now i just ignore the bitchy ones and carry on chatting to the people i get on with.

I don't know where you all are meeting all these horrible women but I've always got on well with women and my closest friends are women. Plus all 3 of you who said that you don't get on with woman, do seem to get on just fine with women on this forum

Agree with this. I've never felt the pull of the sisterhood, or felt the 'girls must stick together' thing. Quite the reverse.
