actually... i don't talk about women the way you all do and it makes me cringe a little bit.

guys like to make assumptions about the way girls talk with each other about guys... there are some girls that are just as harsh, but it is in no way the majority. girls certainly don't have things like commonly accepted "rating" scales, and it isn't an accepted reality amongst women that one needs to receive a certain rating on this scale to be eligible, regardless of things like personality or intelligence.

i certainly make judgments about the appearance of all people, men, and women... but i don't talk about it in anything like the same way that men do, neither do most of my female friends. it is a completely different dynamic (and i know, because often when i'm in a group of guys, i'm "one of the guys" and i hear a lot of the stuff they say)

I dont know if its your social situation, your sexual preference, the girls that are your friends etc, but this is the opposite of everything Ive encountered. Some of my best friends are single, late 20 something girls, and they are all just as harsh if not harsher than my guy friends. My guy friends, I happen to hang out with more, so I hear it more from them, but in my experience, girls are just as horny, just as judgemental, and just as shallow as guys. You need to stop making this an issue of sex (m v f) and come up with something else to gripe about.
