“Men give each other insults they don’t mean; women give each other compliments they don’t mean. What do you think of this quote?

[Anonymous]

I think it’s so spot on

Every woman says “oh my god, that’s cute” or “you’re so beautiful” when I know 99.9% of this are lies, lip service, etc. I see/hear it all the time from women and it’s kind of nauseating to see because I understand it’s all fake.

On the other hand, men call each other names ALL the time, but there’s no maliciousness attached a lot of the time. It’s the same as men arm wrestling with one another, teasing one another, fighting one another, etc. Men do stupid shit when together and whatever “beef” or ill will they feel for each other, usually gets dissipated by a nice fight or beer. Usually both.

Women cut deep, plot and scheme, hold grudges, etc...

Hum. I call my friends "Bitch" all the time and all sorts of others names. Never tell anyone any compliment unless I mean it. I'm a woman. And all of my friends are like me. They're women too.
What you're saying is kinda bs. It's just that you are giving all of your attention to the women who everyone sees, the ones with painted nails, fake eyelashes and high heels that are only capable of shallow conversations and lies. You do realize this is only a portion of women, right?
Just like I could tell you my ex was a pussy, he'd over react whenever I said anything to him, and he was a man. So again, there's a portion of men who aren't just fine with insults.

You simply can't put everyone in the same bag. Just because you only wanna see the most visible and annoying women, doesn't mean the others don't exist ;)

[MindYourEyes]

Nah. I’ll compliment someone if I mean it. And i am brutal as fuck xD and they’ll know when I don’t like em straight up. Hahaha

[Asker]

Damn you brutal lol

[MindYourEyes]

Like I say. I’d rather stab someone in the front then the back xD hahah but they appreciate that too xD.

[Asker]

Maybe they prefer a pleasant lie instead? Lol

[MindYourEyes]

Hmm maybe you’re right xD

In my admittedly limited anecdotal experience it is the way it is. I have seen guys call each other sh*thead and then when one leaves the other will say, "That's one cool dude, but don't tell him I said that." And I've seen women tell another how beautiful she is, only to talk about her fake boobs and nose job and how much of a slut she is after she leaves.

Possibly related: Why do guys tell each other to work out, to get attractive if they're fat, but females tell each other they're pretty no matter what, even when fat?

[aicarg]

False and true on both ends. Yeah, I know plenty of guys that'll take jabs at one another to tease the other's ego, talk crap, prank the hell out of eachother then laugh it off. I also know girls that are fake as ever, putting on a face to seem charming, then talking dirt a few moments after.

I also know a-holes that just don't know where to draw the line and take jabs to break a person's spirit or to step on them and get ahead of the game. I also know females that are genuine with their words as well as ones that are sharp with comebacks.

I *am* very generous with compliments, but it’s not to be fake or because I’m conniving and plotting against someone lol. Words of affirmation are my love language. I love hearing compliments, and giving them to other people is just a way I express affection. It’s really nice to be able to boost someone’s self-esteem and confidence with a few praising words, especially when I care about them and want them to feel good. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with doing it, because I’m usually not being disingenuous, and all it does is make that person feel really good about themselves for a little bit.

I really don’t think women are that catty and fake. We may be too eager to give compliments but most of the time they are coming from a positive place even if we don’t mean it 100%, the intention is to lift the other person up.
There are ladies who just say stuff out of spite and negativity but i believe that are the minority.
Women enjoy gassing each other up. Everyone wants to feel good.

[Kit_Kat88]

Women are generally passive aggressive because we're taught to not be too direct or aggressive. I give out genuine compliments. I do often see women withholding a compliment they actually mean. It's easier for them to compliment not so attractive women

[Cherokeehp]

Meh. The people I don’t like know I don’t like them. My compliments are genuine. My disrespect is blatantly obvious.

[blutwolfe]

Agree, well call each other pieces of shit but be best friends at the end of the day, meanwhile women are so passive aggressive and faking to sound nice

[DanaeAdam5]

Every time I insult or compliment someone I mean it no matter if their men or women so... Nope I don't agree

[NYCQuestions1976]

I agree. Sarcasm and chop busting is a fantastic way of life. 👍

[Agape93]

Yeah no lol I insult people all the time on here, male and female

[Thatsamazing]

On here maybe; what about in real life?

[Agape93]

I’m no different offline lol

[Thatsamazing]

I see

[anniisa]

I've never complimented anyone unless I meant it. The women in my life are the same.

[TheFlak38]

Totally true. All my friends are obliged to call me a motherfucker before telling me something. If they dont I stop them right there to remind them.

[TienShenhan]

This is very true. You could also say this another way: MOST people are fake

[Avicenna]

It's a common way of communicating

[archiz]

I mean it🤷🏿‍♀️
But I get your point

[WowwGirl]

I think it's weird and so are you

[BlackCatBone]

I always mean the compliments I say.

[BronzedAdonis]

True
