It's OK. Kids are rejecting TV in spades.

Watch much less TV than other Americans (26 percent v. 47 percent).

What's TV? Do they still have that?

Women are viewed by men as potential breeding partners (Sex Objects)
Men are viewed by women as potential providers (Success Objects)

Or as my friend's step dad says:

"There's two things that make the world go 'round, money and pussy. The money is chasing after the pussy and the pussy is chasing after the money."

Now you can go get an advanced degree in gender studies at some fancy university and put that simple truth in all sorts of fancy terms or you can just acknowledge it and put that bit of wisdom to work in your favor.

Women, that means use your pussy to its highest purpose to find the money to make you comfortable.
Men use your money to its highest purpose to find the pussy that makes you happiest.

I dunno...

•But watch many more TV shows on laptops (42 percent v. 18 percent), and other devices.
...
•Like to check out brands on social media sites more than older Americans (53 percent v. 36 percent).
I think they're just getting their ads in different places. And beyond that, some of the differences are just age:

•Are much more likely to be influenced by their friends about where to shop, etc. (70 percent v. 45 percent).
They're comparing young kids to adults, not young kids to an earlier generation when they were also young. Hippies thought they weren't going to let "the man" tell them where to shop either, but now they walk into Target just like everyone else.

Women are view by women as competition.
Men are viewed as men as just another dude.

The women are comparing themselves to the other women... but the men are comparing their woman to the other women, too.

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 would advise her against having her picture taken while wet.

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.

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.
