Confessions
Sometimes I look at couples and think, OMG, if she could find someone, I definitely can. There’s hope for me yet! Or, What does she have that I don’t? Why is it someone like her can find a husband when I can’t?
Here’s a secret: Women always check out other women. They’re competition.
I once told a male friend that when we women see a plain woman with a handsome hunk, we think, “He’s probably with her because she’s rich.”
If the woman is pretty, we think, “She probably doesn’t have two brain cells to rub together.”
If it turns out that she’s pretty and intelligent, we think, “She’s probably a bitch.”
If she happens to be pretty, intelligent, and nice, we lament, “That’s not fair!”
My male friend was horrified. Poor naïve sod…
The bigger secret is that men do the same thing! When she’s cute and he’s funny looking, we wonder if he’s rich or has a very big…house. ahem
When he’s good looking (yes we note that- we just don’t say it out loud) it doesn’t matter what she looks like because we start comparing his looks to our own.
When he’s really good looking and a great guy, AND she’s beautiful, we just get ticked off about it. Envy you know.
