I am talking about self entitled women thay think they are all that(when they arnt), and are arrogant to boot. I cant stand just people in general like this(so that includes guys too). Last night, i was with a friend and her youngest sister(early 20s) said that her parents saved the best for last. She said this in front of my friend(who is her oldest sister) and i felt like that was disrespectful.

Why do women do this? I feel like she was saying that, to elevate her status in the room, as in, im the hottest, prettiest person here, which of course, i dont agree with. So how do you put people like this in their place? I felt like she thought she was better than all of us and it really turned me off.

Sounds like you are making much more out of a simple one-liner than you should...

Siblings like to tease each other. She was most likely joking.

My brother and I always say stuff like that to each other (and we are 53 and 59 now, lol). Part of brother/sister is busting on each other. I don't understand why you'd judge her so harshly for it, unless you didn't like her in the first place and went looking for reasons to be offended by her (that's honestly what it sounds like to me).

Sounds like it never crossed your mind that she might have meant it facetiously. If it were me, I probably would have laughed.

Personally, I have more problems with people who are all twisted up with the idea of "respect" and people who are militantly against anyone thinking he's "better." To me, that indicates something like an inferiority complex.

Interesting, I don't have anyone that I can think of that has ever done this.
Which says to me, it is not an issue or lesson to get over that I draw
to myself, thus create.
Believe me, I create lots of OTHER 'lessons' or messes I get myself into.
That just is not one of them.

So in MY situations with people/friends I ask myself..."Why did I draw this kind of person to me...
what am I supposed to be learning...what in me wanted to see this ...
this, that 'gets me irked'."**

Sometimes it is so hard because it lies in my unconscious mind.
But, one thing is for sure...MY peace of mind is the most important thing..and I find my
most peace is in being kind and not caring all that much (or letting go) in what others
do or say...hey, it's taken me decades to get here.

Another way of saying it is...."I'm swimming over to the other side of the pool where
they have brought out the Pina Coladas''...and push away...removing myself...but,
remaining happy.

Now, if she was joking...that is not the issue ...the issue is, it bugged you and why?
So, figuring out in your own self how to handle it is the thing.
And yes, resolving that she was joking is a way to drop it.

** Sometimes, I didn't need to learn anything, but to be a teacher to a person.
Now, if they resist being taught (ego-mind)...then, that was not it, LOL!
But, love has to always be in the equation.

You must not have any siblings yourself. If I have to explain, you wouldn't understand.

P.s.
Way to find another way to engage in gender bashing.
