Because they are in competition for the same resources. The men also compare their bank accounts with other men by displays of their obvious signs of prosperity and or just plain alpha male behavior.
I think that's mostly because we know it's the woman who gets to choose the man she wants.

I'll make my own money, thank you very much.

I guess you'll just have to use your hand. ;)

I am more likely to be physically attracted to a soft woman, but there are plenty of very attractive women of all sizes in the world.

Keira looks like death heated up.

It didn't. But then look at Lousie Brooks. Tastes and fashion come and go. Be happy with who you are, is my advice to us.

More hot skinny chicks from the Roaring 20s here

I would advise her against having her picture taken while wet.

That's fine, I know I'm an ass. Just my opinion, I like girls with some meat on them. Not chicken legs.

eh hem... height? just sayin.

yes, true. And hair.

The scrutiny and judging of others has a lot to do with how much men or women care about certain aspects of themselves. I have noticed that the women who are more likely to judge other women for their outfits and dress are the ones who spend more time ready to 'go out'. The men who are constantly sizing themselves versus other men are more likely to care about being muscular. Women just tend to care more about their body type and dress than men do.

Also, I believe there are two competing standards of beauty for women in the US. There is the stereotypical skinny standard that it prominent in many magazines and fashion and there is also a curvier standard of beauty, which is becoming more popular. I hear both standards are 'ideal' all the time.
