Women lead other women to ruin

It's become painfully clear who is the cause of a majority of female suffering in the world- other women.

Everyone is susceptible to peer pressure, but women are to a greater degree than guys. However, even if it were equal the pressure women place on other women convinces them to make stupid choices, while guys peer pressure (e.g. to be a man, to compete, to be successful) is usually positive.

In a recent question on here a woman who is in her 40's asked whether she should leave her fiancée for a relatively small misstep. Of course, all the women echoed: "yea, leave him girl; you deserve better; know your worth." I'm not going to dwell on this delusional nonsense women have inflated their egos with, but the point was: end your relationship, then in your 40's be single (we promise it'll be great).

One particular women seemed adamant that the dating prospects in a woman's 40's are great, and the other woman was likely to find someone else... Yet, before long this other woman gave herself away. She was married. From the safety of her marriage she suggested other women risk being single for the rest of their life. Not only this, but this other woman claimed dating prospects in one's 40's were actually quite good, because (*gasp) she gets hit on by other men, who surely only want to marry her- not just bang her...

Girls will leave good relationships based on what other women say. "Your guy doesn't get you random flowers? Leave him. Oh, he's at work all the time? You deserve more. You're so beautiful, you can do better. He only does/ has (fill in the blank)? You deserve more. Oh, he did this? Leave him." It's like a constant devil on a woman's shoulder, other women are. "Yea, jump off that cliff, it'll be fun..."

The question remains tho, why??? Why do other women notoriously lead other women to ruin? Maybe misery loves company? The worst thing your girlfriend/ wife can have is a group of loose party girls she calls friends. Clearly they're having fun getting run through and used. Then there's people like the woman in the comments. Delusional, yes. But she's already married. She shouldn't need another woman to join her as a miserable 40/50 yo cat lady. Yet, she still does it, because her own ego is inflated from male attention (and other women likely), coupled with the "need to be right." In this case the need to be right that a woman in her 40's fetches a high value on the dating market (they don't). A need to be right that the male attention she receives is based on how special and amazing she is, not just guys trying to bang.

In sum, the best piece of advice a woman can take is to NOT listen to other women when they give you dating advice, or really anything pertaining to life.
