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.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
