Why do girls bitch so much?!

I'm at uni and the girls here (as well as the ones back home) always bitch about other people so much! It's doing my head in. Why do girls do this?

It is a question that men have pondered since the dawn of time.

We may never know the real answer

Depends what kinda bitching - if its just bout clothes then its just coz they're shallow & think that the value of someone is based on their fashion sense

if its bout personality it could be the same or maybe they hate themselves so much they gotta put others down to try & raise them a bit

anyway, what did they do to make u start the thread?

Cos it feels damnnnn goooood :-D

Most of the time. Sometimes it's unnecessarily mean and makes me feel uncomfortable, it's about knowing where to draw the line. Bitching with one or two very close friends about someone who is annoying the hell out of you is cathartic. Those big mass bitching sessions where a lot of snide and cruel remarks for no particular reason are passed around are horrible, and the people involved are pretty much doing it cos it makes them feel better (about themselves). Girls are for the most part seriously lacking in self esteem when compared to guys - doing down the female competition is a way of boosting it. And also, some people are just mean.

My group of friends never seem to bitch very much. It's good! Unless they're all just bitching about me...

Makes them feel better about themselves...

Girls are stereotypically insecure, so they reassure one another by putting down other people and bigging themselves up.

...although I do like a bit of a bitch myself sometimes...

I guess its just fun :smile:

Yes guys do bitch, but at least if we don't like a guy, we will tell it to his face. It won't be like:

"I can't stand Sarah, she is a total stuck up bitch"

Sarah approaches

"HEY, how are you?"

*gives Sarah a hug*

Interesting feedback.

What prompted me to start this thread? It's not these girls especially, it's just all the girls i know at home and here at uni (give or take a few) seem to get off on talking about other people as well as people within the group. Back home I saw a few friendships ruined because people talk too much. Why? Just let it lie. I don't understand, what good can come of it?!

I don't even know why, and I'm female!

This is why I soooooo much prefer hanging with guys. They're just so much more chilled.
