I don't find her that unbelievably attractive. Ok the "jumping at the chance" thingy is OTT but you can't say she's ugly.
I can't remember the last time I was out with female friends, and one of them felt the need to comment good or bad on another woman.
Actually I can, but it was in positive terms. I would say women are as likely to compliment another woman as they are to tear strips off her. They also probably have only the same amount of bitchy/kind thoughts about people and situations on average as a lot of men do; but are largely more demonstrative and vocal about how they feel about people (that largely being because it is considered somehow more acceptable for women to have opinions on any and everything... just as long as these women don't actually expect said opinions to be taken seriously or anything like that).
Oh, you're such a cynic. But yeah, that's what I was getting at. Women just have bigger mouths, that's all.
It's evolution, just so used to having a mouth full of....carrots?
I just deeply resent women being pigeon-holed as the bitchiest bitch that ever got insanely jealous and bitched... purely because they have the damn nerve to have a vagina and opinions that they're not afraid to voice about issues that people [mostly men] think they can't have a completely objective and valid opinion about.
Capisce?
Why I oughta... :impissed:
Ahh, don't worry your pretty little head about it. (must be the hormones). [Insert other cliched sexist comment here]
Hey you can't make that assumption. Just because she is famous and pretty doesn't mean she doesn't care what people think of her. She could get really upset at people saying nasty comments about her. Just because she is famous doesn't mean she is completly hard and strong. Just think into it further: why has she shaved off her hair? Something (unless it is medical) has drove her to do it, she must be upset or worried about something. :chin:
Well maybe. I mean she has had a lot going on in her life, but then again maybe not.
Its only a hairstyle, albeit drastic.
Ive shaved my hair off before and it didnt mean I needed sectioning.

It's a recent pic.
lol?!
she isn't ugly, but she looks nicer with make-up on. :thumb:
I think you're correct. There are studies (I wish I had time to look for them) that say that women in groups use gossip and bitching as social bonding mechanisms or something. Men apparently don't tend to use these things for social bonding. Perhaps that helps explain why men don't tend to be concerned with celebrity gossip and such, and why women get the unfortunate bitchy tag.
But yeah... women often like to have a bitch about things or about people -- but the assumption that women are bitches by nature, or that women are generally bitchy is a load of shite in my view. I would say people are often bitchy and competitive and insecure and phony and opportunistic by nature, not women. It's just that it's become a far more acceptable thing for women to sit around bitching than it is for men, as I said before. I don't know, it must be seen as imasculating or something, which I think is a bit sad, as hearing intelligent people comment on others (whether that would qualify as being "a bitch" or not) is incredibly interesting and often insightful... and, if you have the right friends, always amusing. As someone said a while back, men are only likely to make a bitchy comment if it is extracted from them - I think that has got FAR less to do with their less catty, more magnanimous nature than it has to do with fear of being labelled gay or something equally ridiculous if they freely venture such commentary.
IWS - you're a laugh-riot :razz:
As for Britney's hair - the original topic - I think it's a marked improvement on the usual extensions she sports. It might be just what she needs to start a fresh page... though I'd hedge my bets that she'll be visiting a wig specialist before the week is out.
Well, everbody can be really pretty with the hair care/hair products, expensive make-up and somebody who has studied at harvard to apply it to your face.
If you see her in everyday life, with unkempt hair, a baseball cap and a wrinkly t-shirt she doesn't look any different from your Alice whatsherface neighbour.
Not saying she's ugly, because ugly is different. She's really fit, fully furbished up, but just your everyday, good looking girl when she had a quick shower and threw on some simple mascara to hit the grocery store.
Personally I think she's gorgeous. True, her looks have gone downhill but I still think she's very attractive (Ok, so the shaven head doesn't look great).
Oh, and I'd like to add that EVERYONE'S looks start to go eventually. She's hardly going to stay looking how she did in the 'Hit me baby one more time video' forever is she?
Everyone's looks go eventually? She's... what... 25 at most?
Which is why she's still hot. Just she hasn't quite got that special something that she had when she was younger.
