“If your friend makes you feel this way, she is NOT a girl’s girl!
Some of these didn’t even cross my mind!
Here are some signs that indicate someoneisn’ta girl’s girl:
1.
“The ‘I am not like other girls’ girl.
“Gossiping about their other friends to you.
Rest assured, they’re probably gossiping aboutyouto the friends they were just talking smack about.”

“I know one girl who got her nails done for an event.
That’s when I knew.”
“If she finds it funny that someone bled through their pants.”

“When they belittle you in front of guys and make fun of your interests and choices.
Mind you, she knew I always wore mascara on my bottom lashes.
It’s a really small thing, I know, but it’s bugged me for a while.”
“When she uses words like ‘spinster’ or ‘old maid’ to talk about single women.
Getting married or being in a relationship is not everyone’s priority.”

“Criticizing other girls' makeup habits in general.
But if they do wear makeup, they should go ‘natural’ instead because they don’t need it.
Just let women wear whatever they want!
Beauty should be determined by what’s in our heart, not what’s on our face.”

Our friend group is made up of six hardworking married but independent women, and life is extremely stressful.
However, one friend likes to record or take pictures of us during our most vulnerable moments.
We’ve told her before to stop and put her damn phone away, but she doesn’t stop!
Then, when I get upset about it, she plays the victim.
Like, if I told you to stop, just stop!
That’s not being a girl’s girl at all, in my opinion.”
“Women who refer to other women as ‘females.'”

“The outward disrespect toward women who are stay-at-home moms.
c’mon support us, already.
“If they select friends for different purposes.
She later used me to get close to one of my guy friends and ended up breaking his heart.

“When someone claims they’re a ‘girl’s girl’ right before talking bad about someone.
Also, girls who slut-shame.
Don’t you want to feel loved?’
It’s just so condescending and demoralizing.”
She also rarely has another kind thing to say about another woman.”

“She puts you on blast or purposely goes out of her way to embarrass you.
One day, she singled me out in front of everyone during a class discussion.
It appeared she only picked on me because she thought I’d freeze like a deer in headlights.
It was so disappointing to experience.”

“When a woman asks your partner questions that compare you and her in personality or appearance.
It’s such a ‘pick me’ move and puts you and your S.O.
in a really awkward position.

“They use other girls to make themselves look better.
When I asked my friend about the girl, she said, ‘She’s fat.
She makes me look skinnier.’
I was shocked, and I just couldn’t let that comment go.
Sadly, this situation happens a lot.
Even in my 30s, I still see it happen constantly.”
“Not letting other girls be happy or giddy.
That doesn’t even make sense!
It’s sad how much some girls put others down to feel better about themselves.”
Meena, 34, Florida
