Why are bitchy and nasty people more popular then their nicer peers?

Question

I just don't understand it. I can't see why anybody would prefer to have friends like that, over an actual decent human being.

Can anyone enlighten me please?

Answer 1

People like to be entertained by watching a bitchy one

Answer 2

the more fake you are the more friends you'll have as u tell everyone exactly what they want to hear even if u tell others differently.  

Answer 3

This is the way life is. Nasty mothers always get ahead, always have lots of friends and nice people go to the wall.

Answer 4

IF you are refering High School, I know all about what you are talking about. My Hihg School was full of "the b*tches" LOL

Sadly, alot of girls in HS are too afraid of these twits to stand up for themselves, thus they just pretend to "like them" and "hang in the crowd"

I'm saying ALL girls in HS are like this, MOST are not, but everyone has run-ins with the "B*tch Crowd" I think alot of their attitude boils down to lack of self-esteem and self respect. These girls thrive on drama and deaming their peers.

Otherwise, there are nasty people of ALL age groups and the same ideas apply to them as well!

Answer 5

It's an intimidation tactic, scare people into being close to you.

Have you never heard the saying "keep your friends close and your enemies closer"?

Answer 6

i think its cos people are like scared to be the ones being made fun of so they be mates with the horrible ppl

orrrr... the horrible ppl say funny things somteims which make them fun to be around

sorry for the bad english like... pissedd

Answer 7

There's a lot of sin in the world.  Most people are more interested in evil.  I suppose another reason is because those people want attention and they think that by being nasty is the only way they will get it.  

Answer 8

because people want to be nice to them incase they turn on them and they end up being bullied/ picked on

Answer 9

Wow...I'd like to know.=)Star for you!=D

Answer 10

well, im guessing ur under 18. people tend to mature and understand who the REAL people are, and this is just impossible for some people to see at your age.

they are never popular after school and going into the workplace

just hold tight with the good friends you have now and only make friends with them, popularity means nothing

x*x

Answer 11

Because other people think they are cool because they have little pet "friends" follow them around so they think there amazing. People think they are awesome because they bully the less popular kids and they think that's "fun."

I don't understand either, but I think popular people seem like they have lives-but really they don't.

They don't know what real life is, there just surrounded by their followers, and materialistic things.

and.....that is not real life.

Answer 12

i doubt it is genuine 'popularity' more a case of keeping certain 'nasties' where they can be kept an eye on

Answer 13

Because 'bitchy and nasty people' tell the truth as they see it and do not pull the punches.

Have you got a description or definition we could all follow for a 'decent human being' by the way?

Answer 14

The issue may be summed up in two words.  Power and control.

Answer 15

I don't either. Maybe their friends feel inferior or something.

It will drive us barking mad if we try to understand.  

Answer 16

Not quite sure where you're coming from.

Most people have good & bad in them, it is really just peoples' perceptions that differ.

Maybe some folk you see as bitchy & nasty just have a different slant on life from you.

If we were all the same life would be such a boring place to be!
