Why do girls always put each other down?
Okay, not all girls are like THIS, but many are:

Soccer dudes women love...
and wives & girlfriends they hate
THEY are one of the world's most famous celebrity couples.
But while one name sets many a heart fluttering, the other drives women to clench their fists and turn up their noses.

THEY are one of the world's most famous celebrity couples.
But while one name sets many a heart fluttering, the other drives women to clench their fists and turn up their noses.
We're talking about the Beckhams, of course - David and Victoria.
'I think Beckham is too good-looking for her. She's got a funny nose,' Beckham fan administrator Shimah Jailanie, 33, told The New Paper.
Added football fan Amy Seow, 18, a student: 'She seems to be always concerned about glamour and being in the limelight.'
The New Paper susses out other footballers whose wives and girlfriends other women love to hate.
Kaka and Caroline Celico
'Kaka's very quick and creative as a midfielder. He's versatile in terms of setting up goals for his team mates,' said Rachel Isabel Yang, 24, a student.
This Brazilian dude doesn't just look yummy, he has a big heart too - he's the youngest ambassador of the United Nations World Food Programme against hunger.
Too bad that the 23-year-old midfielder, whose real name is Ricardo Izecson dos Santos Leite, is already taken.
The object of his affections: 18-year-old Caroline Celico, a nubile model fresh out of high school. The couple tied the knot in December after dating for three years.
'He's really young and to get married at such a young age is shocking. When I saw her picture, I thought he could get a better girl. I don't know why he chose her,' said student Izyan Mellyna Ishak, 19, who's a Kaka fan.
NUS student Chow Jiexin, 20, would love to be in Celico's shoes.
'Why not? He's cute and he's powerful with his shots and skilful in his dribbling,' she said.
Rafael van der Vaart and Sylvie Meis
Married in June last year, 23-year-old van de Vaart and his 28-year-old TV presenter and ex-model wife recently had their first child, Damian Rafael.
'He's big and strong and he holds his position well,' said sports manager Kim Lau, 36.
But remarks about his wife have not been as kind.
Miss Ajax said in Soccerpages Forum: 'I think Rafael isn't the good player he used to be. And my opinion is that he misses his good form because of... Sylvie Meis! She sucks!'
Another footie fan, AFCA 1900, thinks Meis is a tyrant and a diva, saying: 'She will turn into a tyrant and a militant control freak and she will not rest until she has made absolutely sure that she will be treated like a princess.'
Francesco Totti and Ilary Blasi
'He commands respect from his team mates. If he's around, they seem to be more confident,' said sports manager and soccer fan Kim Lau said of Totti.
In keeping with his status, he is married to one of the most beautiful Italian celebrities, Ilary Blasi, 25. They married last June amd had their first baby, Christian, early this year.
The sex bomb, who currently works as an announcer and host on several TV shows, was in the limelight just three months ago for a 'Janet Jackson moment' - her plunging neckline dress slipping open to reveal her nipple. It happened on national TV on the opening night of Italy's top TV show of the year, the Sanremo Song Fest.
The boo-boo only reinforced the image some soccer fans have of her.
'She looks trashy and fake... so many footballers marry women like her though,' said Natasha on SoccerPulse Community.
Andriy Shevchenko and Kristen Pazik
The Ukrainian striker may not have spoken a word of English when he met American model Kristen Pazik at a Giorgio Armani party but that didn't stop him from hitting it off with her (they speak Italian).
The couple married in July 2004 and had a son, Jordan, that same year.
'Sheva is so sexy, I tell you. But his wife is too skinny. I can't stand all the bones, and she doesn't look that great. He has a lot of money. He should buy her more food or just get himself a sexier wife,' said student Izyan.
Shevchenko, or Sheva as he's known, has recently set fans talking about his move from AC Milan to Chelsea, with some attributing it to arm-twisting from his wife.
'I don't really know much about this Kristen Pazik but she seems like a really manipulative bitch,' said Scotsman on The Red & Black Forums.
Theo Walcott and Melanie Slade
Pictures of the Arsenal striker and girlfriend Melanie Slade, who is currently studying for her A levels, have been drawing eyeballs.
The couple are both 17.
'She's a nice intelligent girl who knows what she wants to do. Melanie doesn't seem to me like somebody who will embrace being a footballer's wife and only a footballer's wife,' said Michelle Gayle, wife of ex-professional footballer Mark Bright.
Even so, Slade has her detractors.
A local football fan, student Dyl Lee, 19, griped: 'She's about my age and she has such a dishy boyfriend. I just want to kill her for being so lucky as to pick the right guy!'
The girls like the guy, but not the girl whom he is with; so guess what? They trash her. I feel that all this is terribly ironic. How many times have we heard it already? I often wonder why women have to put each other down in this way. It seems as if they think that their only competition is other women, and because of this, they have their heads filled with so much shit that they allow the men to have the upper hand in deciding just how good they are.
When is a girl not good enough for a guy?
1) When she is too skinny.
2) When she is too slutty.
3) When she is too bitchy.
4) When she is too controlling.
5) When all the other women L-O-V-E love him.
This is just like what you find on all those Discovery Channel "nature" documentaries where the animals are all humping like crazy and fighting like crazy to get the right to do that humping. Except that there, it's the males who do all the knocking down of the same sex, HERE, it's the females.
I doubt if any woman would really care what another one is like (anorexic or whorish or anything like that), especially if they don't know her from Adam (let's forget female empowerment, the average lady who takes to the streets these days for this kind of thing is just incredibly busybodied about the way Other People lead their lives, not really championing a Good Cause). I mean, really, in this world it's every man for himself, if a girl lands herself in a crap-hole, who's to care? Unless of course the ones who care actually have some kind of ulterior motive and are still pretty much in denial over it.
Honestly, by no means am I saying that it's wrong of these people to like a guy, in fact, it's even good as it proves that they're normal. What I don't understand is how it becomes a matter of competition with other women for the same guy. These women don't say--it's a pity I don't stand a chance with him; rather, they say--she's not good enough. Why put a total stranger down in that way? It doesn't make sense. It's mean and dishonest, makes them appear like fools and totally misses the point of Women's Liberation, whatever that was supposed to mean in the first place.
Part of Women's Liberation, I think, is not to fight over a man. It's about being a thinking individual who's good enough for anyone and anything and letting other women have the freedom to be the same.
