Psst, CZ: Here's the truth - I think these women want us to be up to their standards as long as we are not: richer, thinner or prettier than them. It's a very fine line.

Amen Sister! If we are below their standards, criticize, and if exceed their expectations, put us down :-)

Yes!! Weird story - this same friend and I look kind of similar as though we could be sisters - similar complexion, hair, build, etc. except everyone - even her own mother! -  says I am prettier. Ouch. (I don't mean to sound arrogant. It goes with the story.) I gave my friend tips on my favorite products and those I avoid. There are some things I get compliments on so I thought she would appreciate knowing about these favorite things. She took the tips. She started copying my look exactly. She started doing her eyebrows like mine (which I'm really picky about.) Doing her hair the same. Accessories the same. Wearing my favorite colors. Copy, copy, copy. She even copies some of the same phrases and things I say. It's okay. Imitation is a form of flatter, they say. So, Christmas came. She gave me a "gift". I opened it. Guess what it was?! A package full of all the makeup and things I had told her I didn't like and advised her to avoid because they will make you look old / ugly / frumpy / etc.!  :-\ I think she was trying to send me a message. She should have just left a horse's head in my bed.
 
Haha! She must really hate you for looking prett-ier :)
Your eyebrows are a work of art! I copied everything you did, and then realized you need blonde hair and blue eyes to go with it get the similar effect :P
 
Oh, please. You don't need to look like me. It would be a disservice. I look like Dolly Dingle, the Campbell's Soup Kid. You are thinner and sexier.
 
OK, and this conversation ends here. Because we will go on and on about who is more prettier, and our poor Irvine men will be spending their afternoons e-stalking our pictures so that they can help us if we created a poll :P

At first I thought this was meant to be an insult to myself and CZ until I remembered the reality is you've never seen us. Still, though - ouch.

Ouch it is! But homer is liking it.. I thought he would take it as an insult to be compared to the ladies of TI :P
 
homer is going all narcissist because of his six pack and -1% body fat - now he thinks he is prettier than girls    :-*
 
Either Iho takes us for a couple of dogs... or Homer is the most attractive thing he's laid eyes on in a while.

Neither one reads well.
 
See how easy that is... tell a woman a man is prettier and they go all cray-cray.

As for my comment on Homer... don't you all remember the whole manscaping thread?

Fixed.
Yes, Homer spends more time in front of the mirror than me.
Homer is scared of more insects/spiders/snakes/pests than me.
I give up. He may be prettier than me  :-[

Oh, dear. I think we have the same friend.

Last year, she told me she was concerned about my health due to weight gain.

I thought long and hard about it. I decided she was right (for once. ;) ) I put the wheels in motion and lost a lot of weight.

We met for dinner at Bucca Di Beppo to catch up after months of not seeing each other. I didn't touch the bread. She criticized me. "A little bit is NOT going to hurt. EAT IT.  ::)" She was practically throwing it at me. And, "Pssshh." and "Ugh  ::)" when I wouldn't split a dessert with her like we used to do.

WHICH IS IT, LADY?!? You're driving me crazy!  >:D :'(

Honestly, I don't see her much anymore. I can only take her in very small doses. I try to have an internet-only friendship with her. Works for me.  :)

Man, I can totally understand, I can't stand that personality type, it's too hard to be yourself around them cause they always judging your weight and are never satisfied with it. You can never be the right size.

But then I remember that kind of criticism is just a big advertisement for someone who isn't feeling so good about themselves so they projecting that onto someone else.

The other one that drives me nuts is the person that buys too many snacks at the grocery store and tries to unload it on me because they feel guilty about eating it. Hello? Don't buy so much next time? I'm not your personal garbage disposal !
 
Almost every other woman is that personality type. You are either too thin, or too fat. You are either not taking care of yourself, or you are so self-absorbed, you should take care of your family more. Always judgemental.

The snack unloader- next time tell them to leave the bag for you, and when they leave, send the bag to where it belongs- to the trash can!

Love this! Perfect! I will have to steal this line next time I go out to dinner with this friend... if I do... big IF.

I am going to see my friend for dinner, very soon, and without six packs, I feel inadequate :)
BTW, I also get strong suggestions to freeze my youthful self and immortalize my beauty :P

My solution to meeting the standards is simple: Get uglier friends. You'll always feel like the most beautiful woman in the room.

I think you are aging in reverse!
