Generally speaking: Why are men so nice to each other and women are sometimes not so nice to each other?

Question

It seems to me that women are competative, and men are just more supportive and easy-going?

Answer 1

Women care about things that men don't even notice.

Women are more in tune with how other people, especially other women feel, dress, speak, and how they interact. And they may compete on that level.

Men are much more likely to compete at different levels and the competition is seldom personal. It's usually more about professional or sports accomplishment, major possessions, and ususally doesn't affect a single conversation or interaction.

Whereas, women might be competitive about what the other is wearing that day, for instance. And that might be noticed during conversation - by other women.

Mentend to go about their lives not even noticing that all this stuff is going on between women - until they are told.

Answer 2

I believe that due to human nature, we're never entirely happy with what we have. We always want more, which is really what keep this world going and new achievemnts accomplished. I believe, and of course this is just my personal opinion, that the reason women are not as nice to each other as men are, simply because of envy. We see another female as threat. It's not necessarily physical. We may be jealous of their appearance, their persona, their achievements. If it's someone we work with we may be jealous of the attention they get from co-workers or management. If they get a certain promotion, we won't be happy for them, because we feel most of the time we deserve it more than they do. Men on the other hand are probably less worry about little things as other men's appearance or achievements.

Answer 3

I see what you're asking. And my general answer would be that guys don't look into deeper or second meanings behind things because they usually only have one meaning. If I forget to say hello to someone, it's not because I secretly hate the or I hope they leave me alone indefinatley, I probably wasn't paying attention or was preoccupied. I see ladies all the time dive into second meanings, and what that person might have "meant."

Of course, guys just as easily don't always get along, have second meaning where women get along and support each other better than men. This isn't a one-way sort of thing... if it were, things would be easier...

Answer 4

I don't know why, I guess it's just another thing that separates the opposite sexes. But I will agree with you because I've worked in environments where it was predominately female and it's always some drama and cattiness every second of the day. I wouldn't say that men are "nice" to each other, but men handle things differently. The type of work setting they're in has a lot to do with it too. But I would prefer a man to be my boss over a man. Men are simpler creatures compared to women who are 10x more complex, so of course our complexities are going to clash among each other. Men express themselves through more physical activities like sports and working out, but we like to shop more and hang out and we chit chat more too. But I don't know why but I definetly agree with you, but I'm not like that so I don't know.

Answer 5

I think it depends entirely on the people!

Men, typically, will let you know if something bugs them and they'll get it out and overwith when they're with their friends. They may even smack each other around. Then it's over and they have a beer.

Women tend to simmer about things. And when you simmer, things can get bigger. A misunderstanding turns into a war.

Mars and Venus is an interesting read. Also, the Chalice and the Blade if you're interested in male/female communication.

Answer 6

Some women, who shall remain nameless, obviously aren't hanging around with very many men. They can and are just as bad at times.

Answer 7

We always compete with the same style of clothes we wear, same stlye of living, same type of boyfriend...but if you are opposite of one another then there is no need to be mean to one another...same taste means competition...

I was asked by a stylist to loan my new trench coat to another model...NOT happy about it!!!!! for one thing...It was new and I am the only one that should be able to wear it...2) it sucks to see someone else wearing my clothes and looking good in it! and 3) makes me feel like I won't get credit for that jacket!

I didn't speak to the other model the whole time...yes I was pissed! And I was mean to her about it every minute...had to keep telling her that that is a very expensive article...It was BEBE...

But I felt bad for reminding her to not get it dirty! lol

Answer 8

When I was young I had very few female friends because most of the girls I knew were nasty gossips. I got along much better with guys. It drove the nasty **** crazy! Fortunately, I had one female friend who was real and sincere.

Now that I'm older (45), I have many more female friends and I still have male friends. My male friends tell me that they don't have "real" conversations with their guy friends.

Not sure if that really answers your question.
