OTTAWA — Women are bitchy by nature. No, that’s not a sexist remark. That’s science. Or at least that’s what University of Ottawa psychologist Tracy Vaillancourt more or less concludes in her latest research on “intrasexual competition” among women.
Derisive comments on another woman’s appearance, spreading rumours about her sex life, giving her the silent treatment — all this and more reflects the kind of “indirect aggression” women deploy against each other in the competition for a mate, she says in a report published this week in a Royal Society journal.
“Human females have a particular proclivity for using indirect aggression, which is typically directed at other females, especially attractive and sexually available females, in the context of intrasexual competition for mates,” she writes in a research essay, entitled “Do human females use indirect aggression as an intrasexual competition strategy?”

“Still looking. Guys I meet have a problem with me flying for a living.”
I’m too much of a worrier. I could never get involved with a woman who did something dangerous for a living. I appreciate the spirit, but not the associated risk.
Good for you, though. You seem to be doing something worthwhile.
This is right up there with 600k to research shrimp on a treadmill.
LOL!
And then you’ll find the one who doesn’t and it’ll be just as it should be! :)
‘Guys I meet have a problem with me flying for a living.’
Wonder Woman, is that you?
Nope - Super Girl.
;-D
;-D
I like you!
Thank Ya, AW.....thank ya very much :-)
This is a bunch of nonsence - that is, the blanket condemnation of all women for the actions of some of the group.
Yes, there are women who are nasty, jealous, and competitive when it comes to dating and “catching” a man. But that doesn’t mean that all women are like that. In fact, if I was in contact with any woman like that, I would run in the opposite direction. Who needs to be in the company of such wickedness? Men should avoid these creatures by any means possible. They would be terrible spouses.
Picture’s too small to tell if she’s crazy.
Very James Patterson. I'd love to have a woman who could fly down to the store to get me a beer.
I’ve watched this happen first hand. I work with a woman who is “besties” with a woman I want to be with. It’s stunning watching her try to undermine me both at work and with her friend.
It hasn’t worked, but I’ve never quite experienced the cold shoulder before.
How many have a problem with personal music likes?
Liberals listen to garbage...
IOW - cat fights are not disgusting and demeaning displays of lust over the same guy,. They are a natural selection proclivity and therefore with us forever. Popcorn anyone???
worst boss I ever worked for was a woman
best boss I ever worked for was a woman
the worst boss I ever worked for was a malignant narcissist who loved screwing with people’s lives. She was a flaming liberal, single, still living with her parents while in her thirties, wouldn’t wear make up and ate like a pig
the best boss was a conservative Christian with morals and integrity married with children
I am Catholic female
Good Morning...
Hi! How you been??
