Why are women intimidated and kinda afraid of other women?

Question

I have found this very true. Women are much more stand offish to other women, versus men. Why isn't it easier to make girlfriends. I am trying to make new friends and its hard. Its weird. I went to this dinner with all these girls that I didn't know, and I felt judged the whole time. Why do women judge other girls so much? I also feel so much tension between some of my best friends. We all love eachother and grew up together, but I know them like back of my hand. They are very jealous poeple. And I can't stand it!

Answer 1

Huh?

This has not been my experience. You "felt judged"? Are you sure that was them, rather than you?

I find your switching between 'girls' and 'women' interesting. Wass there an age thing going on at that dinner?

That your closest friends tend to be jealous people dos NOT mean that very one of the more than 3 billion females on the planet are the same.

Answer 2

Because they want all the man meat for themselves.Sorry to be so brutally honest.

Answer 3

Once you grow up you will feel better about your life.  I can't imagine what 50% of the population is "jealous" of.  Of what, the fact that you are going through puberty?  I don't think so.  No doubt the individuals in your peer group feel the same way about you.  You'll grow out of it.

Answer 4

I agree it is immaturity and insecurity.  I think many young girls feel other girls are their competitors and they must always be better.  Showing kindness or warmth towards one another is seen as weak.  I have to admit, I was there and kept my guard up when in my teens too.  However I think as many get into their 20's they find most of us have been through similar things or will go through them.  That it is best we use our relationships for support and companionship, rather than something to judge ourselves by.  Sadly though some never get beyond their teenage attitudes.  Most of these women are looked down upon which only reinforces their insecurity.

Answer 5

I'm not.  I think women are terrific people.  I'd have to say that women aren't intimated by other women but girls may be.

Answer 6

Immaturity

Answer 7

Of course, your friends are the problem. Don't ever think, even for a second, that you might be the one judging and feeling jealous and projecting your feelings onto others. They are the problem, not you. All of us women are bad. You, on the other hand, are God's gift to mankind. Thank you for being you. We should worship you.

Answer 8

It really depends, among my group of friends-most of us are Elementary Ed majors & we aren't judgmental-probably because we will one day be working w/ kids. I've also made some friends at a domestic violence shelter where I volunteer. Volunteering is a great place to make friends & meet people, because you're all there for a good cause, FREE of charge. Good luck girl!

Answer 9

Ok seriously thats what a lot of people say. O I cant hang with the opposite s*x there this and that. Sometimes you dont click as much with the same s*x as the opposite s*x just get more male friends and go enjoy life.

Answer 10

I think maybe that is more so the case with younger women. Women have most probably been hurt and betrayed more frequently by women in the past and so are reluctant in making new friendships. I have found this to be true myself and it most certainly is not a generalisation or preconception,it is a reality! I think you just have to find mature women who step beyond their paltry egotistical jealousies! They must be out in the world

Answer 11

well lots of girls are that way but it also depends with what type of girls u choose to be friends with. personally i don't look for friends they come to me. m really fotunate because in school everybody wants to be my partner and i have tons of friends that is hard for me to hang out with all of them at once.
