3 Reasons Why Women Struggle To Trust Other Women

We know how the minds of our gender operate, and honestly, we're afraid of it.

Everything seems to be a game to the women of our generation. Love, emotions, and physique are ways that women can get ahead of other women or manipulate them.

It is terribly tragic that this immature mentality has plagued our generation, but it is not unrecognized. Women know how other women think. We know their motives, methods, and tricks. So, we know what actions from other women warrant suspicion. Here are 3 reasons why women struggle to trust other women.

1.) Promiscuity

Revealing attire is a red flag. It is hard to trust you when your social media profiles are covered in pictures of seductive poses and suggestive captions.

It is your body, and you can wear whatever you like. But, it does influence the way that you are perceived. It does cause other women to question your values (whether you like it or not).

It is suggestive, and that is enough to make any woman cautious of your motives.

2.) Competitive Nature

Some women desire to beat the rest of us at everything. They always try to over-dress, belittle us in conversation to make themselves look better, and go out of their way to make sure that every guy we are interested in knows who they are.

These girls want the confirmation that they are more desirable than the people around them. They make other women uneasy because we don't know what they are willing to do to "win".

Will they try to sabotage our relationship out of jealousy? Will they tell our secrets in order to make themselves look better in comparison? We don't know, and we usually aren't willing to find out.

3.) Men

Well, this is the big one. Women always have a hard time trusting other women when it comes to men. The reason is simple. We have all seen a woman shamelessly throw herself at a taken man. While we may trust our partner, we are inclined to be angry that another female is purposely trying to lead him into temptation. We have all witnessed a woman's lack of moral code when it comes to what (or who) she wants.

We know that some women will do anything to try and find happiness. If that means meddling in someone's relationship, they will.

If a woman is constantly trying to talk to another woman's man, we're suspicious of her. After all, we don't really believe the "Oh you have nothing to worry about, he's like my best friend" line (we weren't born yesterday).

If a woman always seems to have a crowd of men flocking her heels, we want to know why.

It may not be fair, but it's true. Women don't get along with women who have no boundaries. Women don't like women who have no self control. Women are skeptical of other women because that is the world we live in. Values are slowly diminishing and more people let their wishes dictate their lifestyle. Relationships and morally intellectual decisions are overshadowed by the need to improve one's own image and pursue selfish desires.

No woman is perfect, and not all women are untrustworthy. But, we do know how the minds of our gender operate, and honestly, we're afraid of it.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
