Sexual competition. There's some evolutionary science involved, but I won't pretend to understand it well enough to be able to summarise it. Read books like The Selfish Gene or anything by David M. Buss or Geoffrey Miller, I'm pretty sure they cover intrasexual competition as an evolved trait.
Well, sure, there's rarely *just* one explanation for such a wide-ranging phenomenon. Though I'd wager that maybe something like 2/3rds of all cases of intrasexual jealousy stems, on some level of abstraction, from the ancient subconscious language of sexual competition. As far as our primate brains are concerned, a workplace or a friendly meetup is no different than the tribes we formed way back on the prehistoric savanna continent.
I am currently a victim in this situation. I'm in college. There is a girl approach me as a friend and I asked her for help with AC situation. She acted like I was harassing her. And tell my guy friend that I was knocking on her and his door. But deep down I know she is the one who put on the act. I didn't feel well that day so it is really mean for her to say I'm harassing her. But I can tell she is evil. All because she likes that guy and want get rid of me
Aww thanks 🙂 you lucky that said funny and not funny looking👁️👁️... like dude yesterday said my face looks funny just cuz he thought I'm a Trump supporter 😂😂😂😂
I'm having a (well deserved and vey rare) relaxing night off before I go to bed so not only are you lovely looking I'm also not going to risk a Trans Atlantic punch in the face like that Dude from yesterday deserves! lol
tbh I'm that girl sometimes. if a girl is really really (like really pretty) I'll hate her guts because she's so perfect and I hate when other girls are prettier than me, esp a lot prettier than me. sometimes I'll talk shit about them with other girls (typically I'm not the only one). it's shallow ik, but that's how it is.
That's not "how it is" that's how you make it... Just cuz someone is pretty, don't mean they're perfect or have a preferred life... You don't know how that person feels or what they could be experiencing in life it in their home life... And that's not a reason to talk shit or be mean to somebody... Pretty and beautiful after more than just looks, it's personality and what kind of person you are that make you beautiful or ugly
Because even though God made us all, God made some people perfect and more beautiful and attractive while he acted disgusted by seeing others and made them ugly. Any child would be jealous of their siblings who their parents favour more even though both was made by the same person
But we're not talking about children here... We're talking about women who get jealous of other women and it's not always just about looks... I've had women get petty and jealous on the job, or if you have a boyfriend and they don't, etc...
Yeah some people smh cuz some guys guilty of that too, but some women go too far with it they get jealous over ANYTHING not just guys. I've dealt with jealous females on the job, jealous friends over other friends jealous if you get attention and they don't, when they can have it... I don't need or like too much attention
At my crush's workplace, the women seem unable to advise costumers on what to buy, but if my crush is busy with that, some of these women rage about her "getting distracted by the customers" just because they don't know what's behind that job.
This is why, as a woman, I would never work with other women. They're uninterested in learning when they could remain in ignorance and have a soap opera. I'd rather be alone and work in data. I feel bad for poor women without this option, stuck in the crab bucket. Once you're in there, they only try to push you further down.
HA right lolol usually I have to decide go looking for what pic fits that was first pic popped up and just knew I was using that one right away 🤣 funny someone thought that was a pic of my mom on the right, even tho that's Jayne Mansfield on right and Raquel Welch on the left
Yep I do, and they try to cover it with petty insults... I've Personally dealt with that from people that were"supposedly" friends... Maybe that's why in high school, most my friends were guys, they weren't competing with my breast size 🤣🤣
Heh, at least you always know that behind all those petty insults they're jealous of something that simple and can do nothing about it. Must be kinda nice to have others envy you, but also troublesome.
I disagree. It's not the same. It's a totally different ballpark. Imagine 60 percent of men trying to get you fired over petty crap. Or trying to smear your reputation so that you have to move. Or overpowering your love interest with sex so that you can't date them. Yeah, women get away with rape all the time, because men are told to learn to like it. Anyway, women play dirty against women in a way that we're not allowed to talk about that men will never understand. Until they get married. And *then* you hear about it! 🤣
In my life, it had been more dangerous. The female victim narrative plus no awareness of the issue makes it worse than toxic masculinity, in my opinion. Then you factor in how the two can enable each other. Like women laughing off rape if they don't like the woman. Didn't happen to me, but it happens a lot.

Women get jealous about other things tho, On the job, in friendships etc

Because some women are insecure and putting down others- which is really what jealousy is all about- is their "defense".
You hit the nail on the head there
It's human nature to be "jealous" of bigger boobs, better butt, more fulfilling relationships etc etc.
Women just are not able to start wars over such things like men can, is all.

If you find out please let me know. I wonder that to.🤔 Women supposed to support one another.💗🙏💗
Right!!!
Could be they are simply insecure. Might be they should get help.
Right! And right!! Just be you and don't worry about it compare yourself to others, that's hypothetical you.. I know you ain't that way 💜🙂
Not a jealous bone in my body.
Didn't think so 👍🙂
They’re insecure and unhappy with themselves/their lives. When someone has something they wish they had, they want to make their life difficult.
Right!!!
Yeah I'll have all of you, naked, staked like flapjacks, with whipped cream and a cherry on top, no need to fight over me.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 thank God I'm done eating.. Early someone made me laugh while I had a piece of roast in my mouth and I damn near choked to death 😟🤣
😂😂😂
What? Am I okay, yes thanks for asking 🤣🤣
You would not be typing if you were not ok.
Maybe I'm a ghost BOO
Because there clearly not as funny as @Brainsbeforebeauty lol
Aww thanks 🙂 you lucky that said funny and not funny looking👁️👁️... like dude yesterday said my face looks funny just cuz he thought I'm a Trump supporter 😂😂😂😂
I'm having a (well deserved and vey rare) relaxing night off before I go to bed so not only are you lovely looking I'm also not going to risk a Trans Atlantic punch in the face like that Dude from yesterday deserves! lol
😂😂 I wouldn't punch you 😇🙂
@Brainsbeforebeauty That's the sweetest thing any date has ever said to me! lol
😂😂😂

Sophia Loren could NOT have been happy about that picture! lol!
👏👏👏 least you know who was in the pic lolol someone thought Jayne Mansfield was a pic of my mom lololol
But actually, that was Raquel Welch 😅😅
Oh damn! If your mom is being mistaken for Jayne Mansfield, she's doing something right! :D
No he said I must got my good looks from my mom 🤣🤣I wish I looked like Jayne Mansfield 🤣🤣🤣
LOL! She was looking CRAZY hot on that day! :D
Right... She died so young
For sure--definitely tragic.
Because even though God made us all, God made some people perfect and more beautiful and attractive while he acted disgusted by seeing others and made them ugly. Any child would be jealous of their siblings who their parents favour more even though both was made by the same person
But we're not talking about children here... We're talking about women who get jealous of other women and it's not always just about looks... I've had women get petty and jealous on the job, or if you have a boyfriend and they don't, etc...
My ex wife was like that mental illness is right mine ended up trying to have me killed
Did she get charged for that? Hopefully!!
No but I did win custody of my kids
Well that's good at least
I don't think any guy will understand that about women. 😎
I'm a woman and I don't understand that about women either 🤷🏼♀️
Then we are both lost. 😜
Because they’re insecure and possibly cuz their boyfriend finds another girl hot
True... But that's where if you trust your partner you shouldn't worry bout that... More like "yeah I know, he is hot right"
My exes ignored me until they faced the fact that some other girl was interested in me. It seems like they don't wanna see what they could have had.
Yeah some people smh cuz some guys guilty of that too, but some women go too far with it they get jealous over ANYTHING not just guys. I've dealt with jealous females on the job, jealous friends over other friends jealous if you get attention and they don't, when they can have it... I don't need or like too much attention

@BigSis it's like you were at my crush's workplace :o all that the other women do is ask her for help instead of learning to do things on their own!
That's because they pretty much all act the same 🤣
That boob envy picture, though. Perfectly captured.
HA right lolol usually I have to decide go looking for what pic fits that was first pic popped up and just knew I was using that one right away 🤣 funny someone thought that was a pic of my mom on the right, even tho that's Jayne Mansfield on right and Raquel Welch on the left
Yeah, that's real funny. Would you say it's actually a thing in real life? Do women get visibly jealous towards their better-endowed peers?
Yep I do, and they try to cover it with petty insults... I've Personally dealt with that from people that were"supposedly" friends... Maybe that's why in high school, most my friends were guys, they weren't competing with my breast size 🤣🤣
Heh, at least you always know that behind all those petty insults they're jealous of something that simple and can do nothing about it.
Must be kinda nice to have others envy you, but also troublesome.
Why envy old lady saggy boobs 🤣🤣 kinda stupid ain't it 🤣🤣
Who's the girl on the right? Is that your mom? Now I know where you get your good looks from!
Lol thank but no just random internet pic
It's actually Jane Mansfield
*Jayne
You're welcome. ☺️
And oh, ok. Cool.
Compensation, this is not exclusive to women by the way men do the same
Oh I know, but think it's more prevalent with females and they get more petty, catty with it than dudes do, well in my personal experiences anyways
I mean yea, just like gossip, but men don't really gossip all that much. Women gossip A LOT.
I disagree. It's not the same. It's a totally different ballpark. Imagine 60 percent of men trying to get you fired over petty crap. Or trying to smear your reputation so that you have to move. Or overpowering your love interest with sex so that you can't date them. Yeah, women get away with rape all the time, because men are told to learn to like it. Anyway, women play dirty against women in a way that we're not allowed to talk about that men will never understand. Until they get married. And *then* you hear about it! 🤣
@BigSis toxic femininity, however itself as talked about as toxic masculinity
The problem with the these concepts is even with the existence of toxic femininity, women are still portrayed as victims
Feminists define it as ways in which allow men to control women
It's very dishonest and just plain stupid
But I understand the reason why feminists don't focus as it is not as dangerous as toxic masculinity
In my life, it had been more dangerous. The female victim narrative plus no awareness of the issue makes it worse than toxic masculinity, in my opinion. Then you factor in how the two can enable each other. Like women laughing off rape if they don't like the woman. Didn't happen to me, but it happens a lot.
@BigSis well that's due to social conditioning tho , rape victims are often made fun of
Cause the want to be like then or get what they have
But if you always compare yourself to others, or what others have, you'll never be satisfied or happy... 👍
So true that's why there miserable
But of their own making 🤷🏼♀️
Yep so true
