Women Aggressive Toward 'Sexy' Peers
 A new study finds women can be downright nasty when they don't approve of members of their sex.

The harsh reactions of 43 women to a provocatively dressed peer, caught on tape by Canadian researchers, reveal just how sassy women get when they think someone else is sexier.

"I was convinced, having lived a life as a woman, that we're not as pleasant as some people make us out to be," said Tracy Vaillancourt, professor of psychology at the University of Ottawa and lead author of the study published in Aggressive Behavior.

Vaillancourt invited 86 women to participate in a study on conflict resolution. But she was really interested in how the women would respond to a young female student entering the room wearing either a T-shirt and khakis or a low-cut top and mini skirt.

When dressed conservatively, the student was barely noticed. But when she dressed sexy, she drew snarky stares and mocking chuckles as she left the room.

Don't you just know this one is going to turn out well...

Far far far to much to bring over, unfortunately masses of deleted messages which look like they'd be fun too.

One of the resident nasty man-haters gets in there quickly

7. "Bitchiness"? Really?
*sigh*

I wonder how men react to a good looking younger man with a nice body. And what word the experiment's designer would use to label the responses they considered inappropriate.

56. When I see a good looking younger man with a nice body I often think "Gay"

Fair enough comment, I often do too.

39. dont believe me then
i started dating my ex wife when she was 24, she is tall, thin, blonde hair with blue eyes and liked to wear knee high boots and mini skirts (like french women do) and she got lots of scowls, especially in the usa

my new girlfriend is tall, thin, with long wavy black hair and also wears the mini skirts with boots fashion and gets scowls from other women from their 30's up. (20 something women are younger so dont do it so much)

And so begins the story of reggie and his imaginery partners.

86. what i claim is true
i date sexy, highly educated women. my current girlfriend has a masters degree in european union law, speaks french, english, arab and japanese, is a mid management civil servant, and when she dresses to impress she is impressive, hell when she is dressed for the office she gets a lot of attention.

make fun of her all you want I will not apologize for dating sexy women.

87. a toad??? ha ha ha
i am 32 but look mid twenties because i do between 100 and 200 km of mountain biking each week. add in long dishwater blond hair (rare for guys even here in france) and i am quite the catch. i get hit on by beautiful women and they are receptive to my advances here in France. in the usa i have more trouble because i dont have a lot of money, but with French women that is not really an issue at all.

my girlfriend is not a fanatasy, although she does like helping me live out some of my fantasies.

132. i would love to see you and her make love to each other, really
i told her i would give her 2 guys at once when she said it was a fantasy of hers, but she was shocked that i agreed so we havent done it yet and she knows that i would love to see her with another woman. if i were a dick i could have had that last weekend as she went out for drinks with a bi friend of ours and they were both trashed, i could have been a real shithead and taken advantage of both of them, but i didnt, part of the drunk fetish means pre agreed boundries.

like i say, snark it up, my lade is not a fantasy in the sense you suggests, but she sure as hell satisfies me, and yes, as the poster above suggested she has more of a sexual appetite than i do, not surprising considering that she is 35.

335. LMFAO
Succinct and direct. Love it.

Unfortunately, it's been glorified so thoroughly for so long now that it's now considered a sacred right to be a superficial asshole. Who would dare question it? Only prudes and jelliz wimminz.

Ah, society... you so crazy.

The eternal leftist tension between free-love and skankiness on the one hand, and puritanical feminism on the other.

166. You should talk..
every time there's a thread even remotely related to women and sexuality, you and the rest of the anti sex Dworkin brigade jump right in pushing your old school feminism.

340. how do you know we dont LIKE taking it in the ass?
strap ons are not just for lesbiens you know

338. perhaps we like our butts to hurt and tell our ladies to **** us with
strap ons. ever think of that, so being butthurt would remind us of having sex with our partners

or if people were gay, what would your butthurt imply to a gay male couple?

Not the only time reggie says far too much about his sexual proclivities.

262. Well that's the culture we live in.
Anyone who dares question it must be shouted down, mocked, etc.

You should have seen the meltdowns here a few weeks ago, when someone dared to suggest that porn could possibly be harmful. Many of them still haven't recovered and are still traumatized that anyone could dare suggest such a thing. It was truly something to see. When I say meltdowns, I am not exaggerating. At all. Even a little.

359. i saw the 3 photos
you have 2 normally dressed women in knee high boots and skirts, which is what lots of women, if not most, wear here in france, and another women in sort of dowdy looking baggy shit that does not let you see her curves.

i know that when i dress baggy i dont look as sexy for the ladies as when i wear form fitting clothing.

what is wrong with people wanting to attract other adults sexually?

381. LOL... your characterization... hilarious.. truly.
Are you doing performance art here? Cause really... characterizing the sexy clothes as 'normal' and the normal clothes as 'dowdy looking baggy shit'...

un.

****ing.

real.

Nothing is wrong with people who like to dress in sexy clothes. It's the CONTEXT that matters. Dressing sexy at a club? On a night out? Normal. Dressing sexy for work? For a doctor's appointment? For school? Not normal.

The fact that you have somehow got the idea that dressing in sexually revealing clothes is the default speaks ****ing volumes.

388. no, mini skirt and knee high boots is normal where i live

i live in the california of france, the riviera,

my american friends are blown away by all the fit women in skrits here.

now at the club, hell the club is risqué

plus we have plenty of full on swingers clubs

women dress like women here in France, as well as in italy from what i have seen.
in italy women did a pants strike by wearing pants and berlusconi had to give in in 3 days, change the policy propasition, and apologize to the women of the country so they would "no longer deprive italian men of one of the pleasures of life, seeing their beautiful legs". the women literally had the country by the balls.

the women ended the strike. most women like feeling sexy just like most of us men do. there is nothing wrong with that at all. i go out of my way to look sexy for women. i like doing it. i like seeing women "check me out".

un ****ing real. come visit the med any time from march to november. hell even in winter lots of girls wear skirts here.

you probably think i am horrible because after bike riding and getting all dirty and sweaty, i sit on a bench in the town square and eat a snack and, oh the horror.... look at the pretty women walking around!

as if you have never done the same thing, you have never enjoyed simply looking at the gender of people you are sexually attracted to walking around?

403. Your posts are starting to make me feel physically ill.
This is nothing to do with fitness, reggie.

"women dress like women"


"apologize to the women of the country so they would "no longer deprive italian men of one of the pleasures of life, seeing their beautiful legs". the women literally had the country by the balls."

Just stunning... breathtaking... you actually think women in Italy had any real power, because of that.

Un.

****ing.

Real.

Damn.......

I echo Gina.  Damn.   First things first.  Aristotlian's got to thoroughly clean out his boat from all the TMI and other disgusting stuff, especially Reggie's self-worship. 


I've always found it so curious that the "anything goes" people are in the same boat as the nanny staters.  How can they possibly sleep in the same bed?

Careful with it, otherwise you might get long dishwater blonde hair.

I got nothin. 

[Celtic Rose]

So, a women dressed inappropriately sexy at what women believe is conflict management study had women laughing behind her back.  Shocker    If a girl dresses for attention, she can't really complain when she gets it, imho.

...and how much money did they blow to pay some social scientist to conduct that BLATANTLY obvious study?


Obvious observation is obvious.

355. hello, bitch is gender neutral
   
men and women are both called bitches

as in "who you dissin', bitch" from one male gangster to another male gangster

if i say about a women "what a bitch" and you say about a man "what a bastard" we have the same idea in our minds dont we?

No offense taken.

Is the Dawg a Frenchman?  That was the impression I got.  At least the French taught people to **** with their faces.  Maybe they'll learn to bathe next.

He is proclaiming he is a Frenchman.  If he was a true frenchy, would he spend time on a site like DU?  I thought they were too busy drinking wine and smoking gauloises or whatever to worry with bourgeoisie American politics.

RegInRiv could give TomInTib a run for the money!

Hmmm, narrative stlye seem somewhat similar to TiT, but not quite. I guess we'll have to wait for confirmation when he writes about his family being the first anglo family that settle on some fine-assed real estate on the Mediteranean in 1630.

[GOBUCKS]

This DUmbass sounds remarkably like TiT. You will recall TiT's Norwegiain Bikini Team girlfriend. Good grammar and sentence structure are so rare at the DUmp, it makes you suspect TiT, as does the comical braggadocio. I would be surprised, though, if TiT could bear to write without capital letters, and his use of punctuation was always meticulous.

[catsmtrods]

The dog sounds like someone I'd like to choke! With my hands mind you.

[franksolich]

Other than the deficiencies pointed out by GOBUCKS above, there's probably a pretty good chance Reginald is TomInTib's twin brother.

Notice how he brags about his "good life" among, of all things, rich people.

Just like TomInTib used to do.

Now, superficially, that's something that's not done on Skins's island, where the primitives are all allegedly poor and loathe rich people.

However, as we all know, the primitives tend to be reasonably well-off, and love rich people (the Kennedys, the 0bamas, the Clintons, the Pelosis, the Atmans, the movie stars, the talking faces on television, the columnists for the New York Times, whatnot else).

The primitives admire the rich more than we do.  And some of the primitives are the rich.

Reginald's probably not TomInTib, but he is very similar.

    What the hell was his family doing in 1630 in some area that was due to become war torn in the last 500 years.     Better to say his family came to the Virginia Colonies at that time and because of their wealth they helped build America from the ground up.

Back on subject and yes it is rare for me to do that, who was it said a lady is a lady in publick and a whore in bed???

Sad that today woman dress sexy in public and just lay like a lump on the log for their husbands.

Unfortunately the sexy woman have a time frame of but a few years to lure men, husbands , lovers, and drive other woman nuts over the thought they may take their men from them.

In this same time frame the plain woman have an up on them, they will always be plain but they have the Whore mentality to keep their men coming back.    Plain and unnoticed in public but a wild cat in bed.

Ever know a man with a knock out wife that leaves her for a plain Jane????   Ever know a knock out female that wonders why they are still single at 35????

One of those great mysteries in life for woman.   No matter how sexy a woman is, why are all the good men married to such plain, fat or ordinary woman.  What has a plane woman have that a woman with man made boobs, plastic surgery and even some kind of fame and money not have.

Lust passes fast but friendship and care lasts a long time. Any man may get caught up in lust but sooner or later being with the object of lust shows the woman has no interest or past history with them. All to late the man realises he is being just a passing fancy for the sexy woman that is on the look out for a younger or richer man.

Some of the lucky can go home where they are adored for who he is, husband and father, no sleepless night wondering where his girlfriend is. These are the lucky men and woman that are forgiven for their mistakes.

Others not so lucky, kids are estranged from them, despise the girlfriend, find they have to marry this woman that they by now dislike. On top of all of this the sexy new wife hates or is jealous of the kids.

If one wants to be happy for the rest of ones life, best to marry an ugly wife/husband.

[DumbAss Tanker]

The English is too good to be a real Frenchman, but too poor to be TiT.  Possibly a Quebecois expat.

Hilarious thread, Red Queen playing the castrating bitch role she loves so well (I swear, I think she actually masturbates to the thought of cutting off testicles), with Reggie spewing his totally unfiltered TMI sexual urges right back at her!

The bragging about the the sexiness of the girlfriends, the bravado of his 'meat market' pickup lines and the taunts of his sexual prowess and bisexual piccadiloes left me feeling queasy and sounded so TomInTib-ish. Quess I'll have to wait for a RED DOGinRiv episode where the tall, sleek, sexy girlfriend is not only a knockout in heels and a micro-mini, but also a world class skier and a nuclear scientist whose hobby is painting museum quality oil painting.

TiT was 60-ish but could always net the BIG fish, of which I thought he was most proud of.

[GOBUCKS]

I guess we should hold judgement on this character until he details his military career.

He says he's only 32 years old, so his potential heroics would probably be limited to picking up a few Silver Stars and Medals of Honor in Iraq and Afghanistan.

His incredible clandestine work against Somali pirates and al Qaeda cells would have gone unrecognized.

His is the last face ever seen by Osama bin Laden.

vesta111, dear.
TiT always included the tidbit that his ancestors were the first Anglo poeples to settle in what is now San Angelino County, Texas in 1630. Of course, when I commissioned one of my brother's to research this, they found nothing in the old Spanish Land grants, or elsewhere in the Texas State Archives. All records showed that the first Texicans arrived there much later, all after 1800.

Go back to sleep.
