Oh yes, absolutely.

This is a crappy sub that exists to tear women down. If you support this then you are no better than OP.

Op probably posts there, too.

It's not even just women, its American culture in general. Everyone would stomp on you to get ahead. Women are a little worse, but men can be bitchy, too. I have friends that I now keep at arm's length. I've been burned too many times to let anyone too close besides DH. I am not lonely at all. I have people to hang with, but no one to stab me in the back anymore. Hooray!

PP. Seems to, not would. It's been my experience. And I've always been a girl's girl. Maybe it's social media that has changed things.

I bet she's really funny, too! Everyone knows women aren't funny. Op is a rare gem.

She burps and watches sports. While other girls watch what they eat, OP regularly eats a whole burger. Oh, you like wine and cocktails? OP drinks beer, with wings. She owns baseball hats- not pink ones either!

Why are you being so Mean Girl about women like this? I am and I'm not OP. My baseball team is doing horribly this year BTW. And yes I love wings and beer.

It's more Gone Girl than Mean Girl, the famous "Cool girl" riff.

I have no idea what any of this means. So it's ok to both someone for liking sports because it's a trope or a riff? I'm an actual person who has actual likes and dislikes. Why is it ok for you to be b%tchy but not OP?

You ENTIRELY miss the point. A lot of women like those things. ONLY women like OP make them seem like rare and defining personality traits that make them ~better than who they perceive to be lame, less cool “normal” annoying women.

Ok that makes sense. But I went to the reddit thread and I googled it...and that is a pretty fine distinction that wasnt clear. All it seemed like was trying to test women down.

As I've said before in this thread I have had women on here tell me I'm faking my interest in beer and sports. And on this thread I had someone tell me none of my guy friends will ever marry me and I'm desperate and bitter.

-Not OP

Right, OK. WE GET IT. If being a fake "cool girl" doesn't apply to you, wonderful. But we are talking about the OP: the kind of woman who likes to tear down other women so she, alone, can emerge as That Girl You Wish You Were With, that rare breed of logical, non-crazy femininity. You can reason with her AND she has a magic snatch? Amazing.

But how can you tell by looking if a woman is genuinely enjoying her baseball and beer vs trying to tear other women down?
You can't that's how.
So maybe stop being b$tchy about anyone. Ever.

Yeah, no. I have personally witnessed women I know pretend to like stuff for guys. I had a former roommate who went all in on hockey for a while there because of a guy. She immediately stopped pretending when they broke up, and all of a sudden was into sketch comedy and improv when another guy came along. I've never seen her show any interest in hockey, sketch or improv before or since.

So no, I'm not judging women in sports bars. But I AM judging the women I have personally witnessed do this. It happens, so please stop pretending that it doesn't.

^^And I should mention that I've also been roommates with a woman who was a dyed-in-the-wool Michigan State basketball fan, who also deeply loved the Colts. She's been consistent with those interests for the 20+ years I've known her, single or coupled or married or what have you. So I know from a true fan and an attention-seeker.

Real talk: women who don't like other women have social skills deficits. It's easier to be friends with men, because men require fewer social skills, plus you get more of a "pass" due to the opposite-sex attraction thing (not saying that men and women can't be friends; just that when it's opposite sex, you have an additional factor that makes relating more easy.) They may also have intimacy issues that makes it easier to disclose to men because they feel "safer" because she feels intrinsically more valued by men for the simple fact of being female.

I can say this because I fit this pattern myself ... it's not a huge issue and I have some really great guy friends, but as people get married & have kids, that does run out. I also am very clear that I don't "hate women" - I just don't have the same social skills to engage with them.

Ok so since you are so discerning and it doesnt apply to everyone- stop posting mean stuff like the first two paragraphs that doesn't have any of the nuance you described later.

He hangs out with his friends, they don't say negative things about each other, and in between outings they understand that each of them is busy. They connect when they can and everyone is happy.

That just means that your husband is more discerning and disciplined when building friendships. Your bar is too low. The issue here is not all women but rather the particular kind you’re choosing to be and befriend.

JFC OP. I don't hang out with women like you describe. I also don't hang out with men who make everything into a d!ck measuring contest or like to proclaim their opinions as fact. But I don't assume that the entire damn gender is like that. I have had multiple solid groups of female friends who behave like the bolded. A penis is not a prerequisite for that kind of behavior, nor are ovaries forcing anyone to group text mindlessly.

Find other women and befriend them. Or don't. But quit with the stereotyping, FFS.

I posted on the first page of this, and then didn't come back until now. After scanning through the responses, it can be categorically said that this thread proves OP's point.
