That's pretty funny, mostly because I'm a guy and I prefer much more to hang round girls than with guys - most guys are out to impress everyone, which I can do without. Yes, girls might fish for compliments and bitch about things but at least they're not trying to better me at every possible opportunity.
out of sheer boredom.

i am not really sure why we girls bitch so much...sometimes cos its just fun, other times it can get too far and become a bit two-faced.
but generally we all love it!!
my 3 best friends are 2 girls and a gay guy, so we all love a bit of a bitch!! lol
xxxxxxx

i cant stand all the bitchyness at alllll. 5 years at an all girls school & so ive had just about enough of it reallly... i never really saw the point in it myself & now the girls who im really good friends with are people who arent all that bitchy really :smile: is nice to have a break from it.

i get on much better with guys cause they are less bitchy really!

although at my college theres quite a lot of, mostly preppy guys, who come across really bitchy too.. so its not exclusively girls!
I don't bitch and neither do my friends. Don't assume that every girl does this. Also, like people said, i've come across many guys that do it too.
I bitch too much. I'm a guy. MAkes me feel superior. just a bad habit .
Not all girls bitch, but the ones who do bitch do it primarily out of insecurity. It bolsters up their fragile egos and makes them feel better about themselves for a little while, at least.

argggh I can't stand those type of girls that just bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch! Do they actually have nothing better to do? Are they really that sad??

Lool but anyways, I really don't know why they do it... I had a group of really bitchy friends a while back, but I got so sick of them I just left. Drives me crazy. It's so unessecary and causes so much hurt.

Now, most of my friends are guys. So much more simple. You can all just have a laugh together!

Although, there ARE a lot of guys who bitch just as much as girls...

does my head in as well. I can't believe how they read so much into little things like 'so and so said hello but didn't hug me the other day i don't know what her problem is'.
Oh yeah, because it's just us girls that are bitchy :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: how bloody sexist.
I have more male friends than female for exactly this reason.

Girls can be very competitive and sly, whereas Men tend to be more straightforward. If there's an issue there's a fight and a drink in the pub afterwards. Not "Oh look at her, fat cow!..... 'Hi Jennie! Oh you look great have you lost weight? Oh yeah see you later'..... Did you see that? state of her?!"

God, i love bitching. Only about certain people though, I wouldn't dare to bitch about my good friends. Im the one that sees the good in my friends but anyone else, no!

it isnt just girls that are bitchy anyway. loads of guys LOVE a good bitch.

Probably because men and the media make us feel inclined to look and be a certain way, and so we're always having to compete to live up to their standards.
From a less feminist perspective, because we're more extrovert (I think?) and any issues we have we tend to share and get bogged down with, as opposed to guys who just ignore it.

Lol. I wondered this. Then a group of my mates and I randomly got into a conversation bitching just generally about random people. It was quite fun :smile:

We didn't mean half of what was said and told the people involved that (although we were mainly bitching about each other to our faces) but it was a laugh :smile:

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?


That's a generalised, stereotypical view! ;yes;

I know plenty of girls who don't bitch and are genuinely nice and honest. :smile:

Besides, everyone bitches every now and then, regardless of sex. :wink:
Guys bitch just as much as girls, I know my at my boyfriends house they have more complicated friendships and petty arguments then Ive ever had with any girls. And any girls that are saying they dont/havent bitched about anyone - as if! As much as this makes me sound like an evil cow, I dont purposely bitch about anyone, but I know Ive done it in the past, and I'll do it again in the future probably! I think its just a competitive thing personally, as long you dont make an absolute habit out of bitching, or just bitch about a particular person constantly then there's nothing really morally wrong with it

It's fun.

It makes them feel like they have a closer connection to the other person they're bitching with.

Listing other people's faults make them feel better about their own.

Some people are just damn annoying. It's nice to release any irritation felt towards them by bitching.

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*

:laugh:
But yeah, you're right I guess.
