I want to apologize up front to my fellow women for what I am about to say. But, I have to speak the truth.

Mostly out of spite, jealousy, and pettiness. You will hear about how competitive men are. Well guess what, women are too. We are just competitive about different types of things.

You will find some women who will agree with you about another woman being well dressed or looking good. These women seem few and far between sometimes, but they are out there.

To be fair, some women will tell you stuff about other women to protect you. They may know something about others that you don't know. This sounds odd, but it happens.

You may be hanging out with the wrong people. I am heterosexual and I notice women who take care of themselves and are attractive. Look at Halle Berry, Selma Hyakk(?), and Faith Hill. They are gorgeous.

Would I love to look that good? Heck yeah. Am I jealous? No, why should I be. God gave me what he gave me or a reason. Besides, my husband tells me I am beautiful all the time. We have been married 25 years.

Note: some women like being appreciated without being hit on. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. You have a right to your opinion, just as your friends do.

I know of somw women who are like this, but i think they're just jealous. However, not all women are like this. IU can appreciate the beauty of another woman even though i'm straight. My male friends always ask me if I think some woman is pretty whether she's famous or wotking in tesco's. I always tell them my truthful opinion. I don't see anything wrong with being able to appreciate the beauty of another.

Rule NUMBER ONE. Never discuss the looks or preferences of another woman to women or girls. Only they are allowed to comment on another females appearance.(It's a pride thing.Surely you guys understand that)unless you're trying to make someone jealous and think that is flirting. If this is the case, then you should try to stay busy with other things rather than eyeballing the other women.It would be more gentlemen like and your female co-worker will respect and appreciate that. There is nothing wrong with admiring silently though. You can also wait for the opportune moment and personally compliment the well attired women.You may even get rewarded for it! (Your co-workers are only behaving silly because their a little intimidated by what you are saying.)

Do you have the balls to ever approach one of these women you are admiring and tell them they look good or do you stick with the 'safe sideline'. Telling one woman that another looks sexy and not bothering to notice the woman you're talking to could be the where your problem lies. It is hard to believe that every single woman you have ever made these comments to says the same type of thing - Maybe the women you think are sexy really are ugly and dress funny. Doesn't matter what any jealous woman thinks - if you think someone looks good, that's what counts.

It is what we do. We criticize every woman's looks, how they dress, and how they behave (if we happen to know), and compare each and every thing to ourselves and how we rate in comparison. If you are telling a group of insecure women (which we all are) that you think a woman is beautiful, they are going to tell you why you shouldn't think so in order that you will find them better than the one that just walked by, and to boost their self-esteem which was just shot to the basement by you.
My advice: Stop telling your women friends that you think another woman is more beautiful than they are (which is what they are hearing, even if this is not what you are saying). Just enjoy the beauty in every woman that you meet, and compliment the heck out of all of us, it is what we crave!

SOme women agree on how beutiful awomn looks. most don't because they go by the world that says they should be jealous. That has happened to me before soo don't get embarresed. Its just a thing that people who don't agree do.

Not all women are like that. It is just that the women at the place you work obviously have hang-ups about themselves and are jealous of anybody who looks half decent hence their bitchy comments. Some of them may even fancy you so are jealous when you admire someone. They probably call one another behind their backs anyway.

2007 or not, most women see other women as competition and can't or won't let the opportunity to blast another pass. They feel threatened by the other woman, thinking she's prettier or better than they are, therefore, they have to discredit the other while they can in order to secure their territory.

Some women are just catty and/or jealous. It's the gorgeous ones like myself that can just agree with the remarks and not feel under minded. Don't think things will change.... it's human (female) nature.

Clearly, you should cease seeking approval regarding your taste etc on (at least) 'women.'

I'm like guessing like that you're like an American (or have maybe like have imbibed too often at the like well, like).

The woman who 'got blasted'! Did anyone call for the Paramedics or like FirstAid for the poor thing?

It might, on the other hand, be a good idea to seek a fresh employment environment (especially of you're going to like comment on women who like pass by and risk their lives, like in the proximity of your personage! Yaknow!)
