I hardly have any friends who are girls for this reason. Girls boarding school gave me this opinion...it was pretty intense at times and extremely immature.

I have a so called good friend, who I took ages to trust....and she has turned out to be exactly the same. Bitchy and backstabbing.

Why?

Why do girls have to be like this, I honestly don't get it. It's almost like it's some innate thing.

This isn't really a health issue...

Girls just are, I went to an all girl's school and it was insanely cliquey. They grow out of it eventually maybe around age 20/21, but even then...some are bitchy and two faced for life!

Apologies. I meant to post it in relationships- but perhaps it is better in everyday issues.

The main reason I'm happy to not have been born a woman is because of their intra-gender interactions. Guys may have the odd fistfight every now and again, but give me that any day of the week over the sheer psychological torment that (some) women seem to be willing to dish out to one another.

I went to girls boarding school as well, but went to a normal high school close by but just stayed with the other girls. I always just stuck with the guys, became an honory boy with a mean right foot there are some girls who arn't bitchy though, you just have to find them

[SillyMilly]

I went to an all girls school and the girls could be very very cruel and vicious, however I have some really really close female friends who I know havent backstabbed me. I dont bitch about people as I believe you always turn out to be the bad one.However is a girl slags me off behind my back then i will without question confront her if I have an issue with somebody whether they be male or female I shall say it to their face not whisper it behind there back. We arnt all bitchy girls but I do totally agree a majority are

I would say its double edged because female friends are also nicer to each other as well than men who often take the piss out of each other and if you're quite sensitive like me, then it can be hurtful

Yes, oh god yes!

I've heard through the grapevine that periods are also a bugger, too. Poor blighters.

I went to an all girls school and definitely know what you mean. Now I'm at university it's a bit better, at least it's not so cliquey. But one of my female friends seems like the least likely person to be bitchy but even she always goes on about one of her housemates and what she's done this time. This poor girl really doesn't sound that bad, but it's like my friend's determined to find something she's doing wrong that she can bitch about! I have met maybe one or two guys who are a bit like this but in general they don't seem nearly as bad, and after years of only being friends with girls I now tend to feel that guys are easier to get on with. However, I do have a couple of 'true' female friends and I could never replace them. They may bitch about others sometimes but I trust them completely and don't think I could be that close with a guy (apart from my boyfriend). So yeah, it's swings and roundabouts really, but in conclusion, yes, girls are bitchy!

I find both genders to be quite capable of being bitchy and backstabbing. I know it's more likely for a girl to be more tormenting psychologically, but I've known guys be just as bad. In my opinion both genders are just as bad as each other, but that's not to say that I have a particularly negative outlook on people because of it. Of course being surrounded by girls at school will put you in a worse state of mind concerning other girls, as I know people can be horrible at school. Guess you've just got to widen your circle of friends more as time goes by and you'll see that not everyone is like that

I agree, men also backstab a lot but also have the added physical violence element. When I wa sa 14 year old squirt at school, I used to get binned (put in bin) practically everyday and backstabbed/slagged off constantly and for what? Being a nice guy and being respectful etc. At that age, its all about size and now Im 6"2, no-one ****s with me, wish I was back at school though

Don't worry, someone'll be along soon to remind us all how terrible we are as guys. It's like a balancing act.

I've knew a girl at college like that, she would hang around with her friend and be all nice. When her friend wasn't in she would follow around these other girls and bitch about her friend behind her back.

I find men much more open, if they don't like someone they avoid that person and leave it without causing any bother.

I've had girlfriends/ female friends who bitch about people they don't even know. Its just embarrassing to be around and isn't nice. I get really put off girls like that.

Miss Scarlett it seems like you should get some male friends so you don't have to bitch.

In secondary school all the girls were bitchy and some were very cruel they all seemed to grow out of it by the end.

I have only ever been friends with girls my whole life, and none of the girls I have been friends with have ever been bitches or backstabbing. Maybe I have just been lucky.

Apart from a few girls I know who like to have a little bit of a bitch everynow and then in my whole life there has only ever been 2 girls that I have known to be complete bitches. These two stuck up rich girls at Uni who were flat mates with my friend, my friend who had a slight physical dissability and who was very nieve and excitable, she litterally loves everyone and just wants to talk to everyone, it drove me crazy because my friend would constantly go on about how nice these 2 girls are and how much she looks up to them because they were stylish and pretty etc. But she had no idea that everything they were saying to her was taking the mick, when she wasnt looking they would mimic her and make fun of her dissability, they would text to each other and laugh and always exchange looks, when she would do something wrong they would snigger about it (she actually caught them doing this near the end of the year and distanced herself from them since then). Those are the worse girls I have come accross but then again there was a guy they were friends with who wasnt much better.

I kind of noticed early on what these 2 were like and distanced myself from an early stage, so perhaps im just quite good at spotting good/bad people, I don't know but I have never been hurt or back stabbed by friends before and I know I would never back stab or hurt my friends. So I think saying "most girls" is an over statement, because I have honestly only come accross 2 truely cruel girls in my life.

I've only ever had one good female friend but she moved to another country.
Most of my good friends are/have been boys.

[Peachtwist]

Honestly - I hate being female for this very reason. Women are beyond too bitchy for my liking.

I've had a lot of guys class me as "one of the guys" even though I can be girly with my make-up and nails etc. I'm just very straight forward, open and honest. If I dislike someone, I avoid them. I do everything I can so I don't have to be around them so they can't bother me, which I find is what guys do - which is good. That's how it should be. Or, unfortunately, I sometimes get too fed up and just tell them straight up so I don't have to avoid them.

Guys are much easier to get along with. I find I typically have never fit in with women so much because I don't tend to get emotional over things and don't seem to have much in common with them. Most women I know or meet are parents - I'm not, I have nothing to say on children as I don't plan on having any for a long time to come and mostly all they do is talk about their kids, their partners, how much their "baby daddy" sucks or bitch about their other "friends". I don't have a baby daddy, a partner and the 2 close friends I have, I don't bitch about. Anyone else other than them is merely an acquaintance.

EDIT: A female teacher recently told me I'm "scary". I inquired as to how and she told me it's because I'm so straight-forward and honest it seems to make people awkward as they're not used to it. I assume because women just beat around the damn bush so much.

its an evolutionary defence mechanism. women are biologically programmed to be violently aggressive towards rival women as they want to be a more desireable potential mate
thats my theory, anyway

[lizz-ie]

I think it's horrible! I went to an all girls school and everyone was so bitchy there, you couldn't walk down a corridor without seeing people having an argument or hearing people bitch about other girls. I hated it! I found that the "popular" girls were generally more bitchy and horrible, and that everyone else used to follow them and pick on the people who actually liked to learn (like me).

However, since I'm moving to a boys school for sixth form (because they let girls in), I've started making friend's with more guys this summer and I've noticed a considerable difference. Now, I'd much rather be friend's with guys than girls, even if people do just think I'm a slut because of it (I'm not.) and if their, er, conversation topics take a bit of getting used to.
