Women, do you ever get dirty looks from other women?

I find that quite often I get horrible looks from other girls for what seems to me to be for no reason. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced it. Im 26 and I dont wear hoochie mama clothes, I never stare at guys if they are walking with a girl, but I notice I seem to get girls looking me up and down like they know me and Ive done something to them.

Anyone else experienced this??

Update:

Okay I may get in trouble for this bit, but I get them mostly from other black women! and sometimes older black women. Its quite upsetting actually, because Im very chatty friendly person. I dont understand how people can just look at someone/me and give a dirty look. When I see a pretty girl, I'll smile or acknowledge her and say something along the lines of 'Oh your shoes/bag/dress is nice' Im not gonna give her a deadly look. WHY DO THEY DO IT?!?!?!

Update 2:

Princess M - That is sooo funny. The other day I was in Tesco with my mum, and there was a girl with her man she was wearing hotpants and a tight t-shirt but her man was looking at me and smiling away/winking, I was dressed in my sunday best, brown jumper and jeans and flat shoes, she then gave me the dirtiest look. I was thinking 'Im just trying to find my Kellogs Crunchy Nut, why are you looking at me?!?!'

    Yes, I've had it all my life - to be honest, I think most women can say the same.

    I hate it. Not too long ago I was walking down the road minding my own business - wearing jeans and a T-shirt, not that that should matter at all - and I stumbled slightly. Some bint, sat in a car at the other side of the road, shoted "Ha ha, skinny b*tch, you fell!" at me. This wasn't a silly schoolkid either, she was a grown woman of at least 30.

    What's the point of it? There is no need for such spite - I don't think insecurity is an excuse for such behaviour (although I accept that it is one of the most likely causes for someone to act in such a silly manner.) I'm quite insecure in some ways, but that is MY problem - I would never treat anyone like that, especially another woman. It's petty, childish, and mean.

    It saddens me that many girls - and grown women - feel the need to badmouth each other, as if it is the only way they can feel better about themselves.

    Actually can I jump in here - I know you asked women but I have an insight.

    I was talkingt to a girl collegue about mens hard-wired repsones to check out women - then the softprogramming of learing or looking away - when she responded - OOh that's nothing compared to the grilling women give each other - complete shoe to hair up and down examination.

    I resolved to people watch and boy was she right - nice looking women on the train are reviewed maybe mentally undressed by men - but what other women do is positively intrusive and exhaustive in the minutes taken to scour the entire package - and all the while a jugdemental assessment passes over their face. The only reason they get away with this is that they are usually not the object of anybody elses interest.

    Men may be hard on women but women are sometimes much harder on each other.

    As a white woman married to a black man, yes. But I also get complimented by other women, black and white, mostly black though, honestly.

    I know I look at other women and how they dress, and I'm pretty sure my husband looks at women (but not how they dress, lol), and I do it because sometimes she's wearing something cute that inspires me, or she's wearing some godawful outfit that I can't help but smdh and wonder if the woman has a mirror.

    I've actually dealt with it all my life...I don't wear the hoochie mama clothes either,but it never fails that I get funny looks from other females.Recently, I was out with my mother and this woman actually tried to distract her boyfriend/husband from looking in my direction at the store...we ended up running into the boyfriend on the other end of the store and he looked me dead in face,his girlfriend was nervous. He was cute,I must admit but did she really think that I was going to pursue him after I saw them together? My mother witnessed it and couldn't say anything.I had on some plain simple jeans and t-shirt! I do have a curvaceous shape and I'm considered to be attractive so the only thing that I can think it could be is that they see me as competition...a threat or they're just plain jealous. Take it as a compliment that you're doing something right and keep it moving. It's their problem not yours.I've found that women keep up too much unnecessary drama,that's why most of all my friends are guys.

    I hope this was helpful,Take Care!!! :)

    If you are still struggling to boost you are straight and you are trying to get your hands over the wheel, put Vert Shock to the check, an application you will believe it is here https://tr.im/oI5Af  and provide it a decide to try, you will end up amazed of how quickly you may become an animal hopper if you prepare the proper way.

    This system won't allow you to leap tens and thousands of times since Vert Shock was developed and utilized by actual elite stage basketball players.

    In regards down seriously to it, if you actually want to jump higher, you only found the most effective program in the world to complete so. Any way might just be described as a waste of time.

    I experience the same thing from black men. I am a black man and I dont have a grill, wear my pants down to my ankles, don't really listen to rap, and I talk like an person who can speak english really well. Surely I don't wear abercromie and finch (no time for spell check) but I do blast rock and roll in my car. And 80% of the black men I come across think I am white washed or gay. I am from the ghetto but I will never return if I can help it. I never would have imagined that being educated and mannerable would be looked upon so negative in the black community.

    hi.. thats good what u did but always analyse the situation.. ask him y he had spoken about u like that.. i feel that very immature of him. to speak of u to any other women .. any way it sometimes pays off to cool ur mind and ask him y he spoke of u the other person like that.. if u dont like or it does not match the situation u can go ahead by sayin that dear even if u were with a women n u were busy with some work u could have picked up the phone n told me so. but since u did not do that u were hidding something from me.. but believe me dear.. always let go the first time ... it always works for a man to then become responsible towards u more than ever.. trust me

    Yes, often. It's upsetting. It probably happens to you because you are really pretty or seem really confident or some other nice thing that they are jealous of. I'm not sure why I get it. I get it most if I wear sexy shoes or pretty skirts. I don't dress like a trollop either. I think you should smile and pay a compliment if you think someone looks good, not give them evils and make them feel horrible.

    WHAT A GOOD QUESTION!!

    I do get the same as you from other black women. I dont know what their problem is. I find it upsetting that women look at me with such evil in their eyes. I feel I have quite a pleasant face and I smile at people, so I dont understand it either.

    I find women check me over if they are with their bloke a couple of them seem to get stroppy with their men too as if they are telling them off even though they might not look at you, some women or girls give the impression they are comparing you to them to see if they are better than you and if you are then you are a threat hence the bad looks! This is my theory.
