Why are women always competing with one another?

Question

Who has the nicest/bigger house

Who has the most sense of fashion

Who has the best looking hubby or bf

Who has makes the most money

Who's the better mother

Who looks more attractive

Who's more educated

Who looks more "fat"

Who gossips more

Who has the most prettiest things

Who's more popular/has more friends

I could go on and on with the list. I'm asking this because a lot of these things are just silly and you don't ever see guys constantly bickering over these things.

Answer 1

I suppose it's because men compete by playing sports with each other and although they do try women can't really do that. So they tend to compete through material objects and vanity.

Answer 2

I think you are generalizing a bit too much.  I think that men are more competitve than women usually, especially when it comes to who has the most toys and the most money.  'Who gossips more?'  Come on, when have you ever heard of a gossip competition?  And how do you measure who has the most fashion sense?  Women do tend to bicker more than men do, but I believe that men are always comparing themselves to other men and most women I know are comfortable enough in their own skin that they don't need to do that.

Answer 3

They want to be better than the other and have a better reputation.

Answer 4

Turn off your TV and get into the real world. Men are just as envious as anyone else. I am surrounded by men, and believe me, their conversations aren't any more illustrious than a woman's at times. Men dwell on sports, women on clothes, and other women. That is just the way it is, and not a big deal.  If you don't see men bickering, it is because they are too busy talking with their fists, etc. when they get into a conversation and disagree with each other.  

Only the topics differ; men and women both are insecure at times, and compare themselves to others.  Now, go and read the sports page, and get acquainted with what men talk about.    Have a great day.

Answer 5

I don't know dude, women are catty.  When they grow up a little bit that all changes.  For some but not all!

Answer 6

survival of the fittest

Answer 7

And men don't?  Get real

Answer 8

No, they bicker over such important life questions as:

Who has the nicest car?

Whose wife is hotter?

Who makes the most money?

Whose team will win the Super Bowl?

Who has more hair?

Who has a bigger/longer fifth limb?

Answer 9

you've seen too many episodes of desperate housewives.

Answer 10

I KNOW!!!!

It makes me sick to my stomach.. They have this need to be better than everyone!

BUT don't generalize all women.. Some of US, ejem ME.. Are not that way.. As a matter of fact, we could give two sh*ts as to what other people do... (these are the moments I'm glad I was raised amoung men)

Good Luck finding a "normal" chick!!!

Bu-Bye
