3 Reasons Why Women Struggle To Trust Other Women

We know how the minds of our gender operate, and honestly, we're afraid of it.

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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
