Being around sisters,allot of females in general all my life i noticed when a girl gets a new boyfrend her friends are brutaly honest and say if they find him ugly..

 

To me thats classless..guys dont tell their friends they think his girls ugly or a fight might happen..

 

Why do allot of women do this?

I would never do this. I have also never had a friend do this. It just sounds like mean-spirited girls to me.

i do not think A LOT of women do that.... i have sisters and i would never tell my sis that i think her bf is ugly, now i may tell her if i think he is a tool, but not ugly.

 

how old are the women that you see do this?

I have never heard this either, I would NEVER tell a friend that her boyfriend was unattractive, even if I did think so. I would say something like "he's cute" or "he's okay" but not go into detail. I know women probably would say their friend's boyfriend is ugly behind her back, but I would think they aren't much of a friend if they say it to her face.

Very funny.

 

Maybe women are saying to each other "Its OK, no competition, its all safe!", but they still might recognise there were other attractions, sort of..... :eek:

its not true. back then i was dating this guy who , for some reason, was everyones FOTM. (flavor of the month)

 

a guy told me he thought "he (my then bf) was a catch and i was lucky" wth

girls asked me in surprise "omg where did u get him"

my close friend told me "i wouldnt date anyone more attractive than me!"-in essence shes saying the guy was prettier than me :rolleyes:

 

so yeah it isnt true..its also rude to say that to a friend, that their bf/gf is unattractive.

Yes I have seen women do this all the time. I call it "the credit check". Young women in particular are concerned with the opinions/popularity of a potential mate and their match with that mate. For some women said popularity equals social status.

 

The rest of the women grow to realize that such a check with their friends doesn't amount to true social status after high school. Then it's about education, job security, money, ambition etc.

 

What you have noticed is just a variation on a womans concern for the social status of her mate. To some women a mismatch in social status can trump almost any amount of attraction or affection she may have for a particular man.

Only because they think their friend can do better. But I have never been harsh to call any guys of my friends ugly. There's no reason to criticize until given reason to.
