I picture it happening something like this. Girl-1 and some of her friends see Girl-2 and some of her friends at the Applebees. Girl-1 "I heard Girl-2 was trying to get with Boy-1, she better not try cause he's mine!" Other girls in her group back her up, because that's what girlfriends do. I picture one overzealous girl shouting toward Girl-2 and her entourage something to the effect of "Hey, you (insert some namecalling) stay away from Boy-1 or we'll kick your butt!" Girl-2 cannot just let this injustice stand, so she and her posse move toward Girl-1 and posse. She probably says something to the effect of, "Excuse me? WHAT did you call me?" Groups exchange barbs, someone probably accidentally bumps someone while getting in their face to yell...and the next thing you know pepper spray and tasers and cops everywhere. Sometimes things just get out of hand. It's a herd mentality thing. I'm sure it wasn't all West Side Story where the Jets were having a smoke and plotting the demise of...um...that other gang....what were they called? Ah, when things get out of hand.

Girl-1 “I heard Girl-2 was trying to get with Boy-1, she better not try cause he’s mine!” Other girls in her group back her up, because that’s what girlfriends do.

Now we have raised a generation of assertive, athletic women who aren't afraid of their bodies or of getting what they want, and they start using those tools as men have done. Is that wrong? I would argue that the thing that is wrong is the neanderthal idea that we can get a good relationship by doing away with the competition, no matter what form the battle takes. We still seem to have a primordial part of the brain that thinks of a mate as prey to be dragged back to the cave and trapped.

There's a fine line and I guess it could be called a double standard, but girls should still have a little femininity to them. And I'd like to see this guy that they were all fighting over. If he's that great, I might have to go up there and join in! I’m with you on this one.

He must have put some of that Axe body spray on...and silly me thought those commercials were exaggerations. 20 - 30 girls fighting over ONE guy?

I have a teenage niece in St. Louis. Rough crowd! I think you mean BALANCE would be nice. Strength/kindness, funny/serious, etc. All the 4 year old playdates I've been to lately ended with fist fights, though.... I hope we'll be clear of this phase by the teen years, however!!
