Don't think for one minute that men don't demonstrate this sort of behavior as well. If a good looking, well dressed guy who is built like a Greek god enters a room, whether it's a bar, a party, or in the workplace, you can bet there's a bunch of dudes either inwardly or outwarding referring to him as a pretty-boy or a douchebag simply based on his appearance. They're intimidated and don't like that he's now getting the lion's share of the attention from other women. Men like to mark their territory every bit as much if not more than women.
This is an example of human behavior. The only difference is, I think men are better at concealing these insecurities while women seem to show it on the surface more.
I'll notice when someone is inappropriately dressed for a specific occasion, like wearing a tight, revealing dress like the one in the photo to a funeral or Disneyland. And sure, I might roll my eyes, like, "What is she thinking? This isn't a night club."
It's no different than a man wearing a muscle shirt to a wedding, though. I'd be just as quick to roll my eyes at him, too. There's a time and place for certain attire.
But threatened? Nah. More like wondering whether people ever look in the mirror and consider their destination before they leave the house.

Of course, when I started hanging out with them, I understood why other women shunned them. Around them, I got no, none, zero, zilch attention from guys. All the focus was on them! Some guys would talk to me as a way to get to my friends! It was hard on my ego. Not only were they beautiful but they were also intelligent. Ouch! But they were good people and good friends.
I also saw first hand that they had problems like everyone else. On top of that, they had to deal with female aggression, constant male attention, and relationship problems with men using them for sex or an ego boost or too shy to commit feeling not good enough to be with a beautiful girl.
So, mostly when I see a beautiful, sexy woman, I do feel a tinge of jealousy but what I feel more is that I am looking a human being, who hasn't done anything to earn my hate. There have been times when I have gotten really jealous. Instead of lashing out, I just asked myself why I was feeling such negative emotions. It was usually because I felt vulnerable and less than and overly focused on my flaws. Then I asked myself whether being as beautiful as that woman would solve my problem. Remembering the experiences of my two beautiful friends, the answer is no.
Yeah that definitely can be a reason. Since I'm male I never experienced the whole dynamic of female-female friendships, especially in high school (hopefully things do change a bit after that! lol) but it's human nature too. I think it's more common for women to hate other women who are attractive etc since it is the man who still tends to pursue women, there is bound to be jealousy. We're animals, and like all animals we're competitive creatures. Humans are really pretty predictable at the end of the day, men and women.
Sometimes I like to go out and wear a nice pair of jeans, my favorite black pumps and a rather low cut sweater. Do I get dirty looks from some women? Sure. I find i get more compliments though, especially from women. I think a lot of it is how you act. If you're dressed 'sexy' and then start drinking and acting like a tramp then I'd probably start rolling my eyes as well. If you're calm, collected and have a confident air, I find women will warm up to you quickly.
It has never bothered me...I sometimes feel sorry for older women when they are dressed all Cache(expensive hooker looking clothes store)trying to fight the hands of time!! On young girls the mother in me comes out and thinks "Do you girls know how many perverts there are out here?"!Otherwise if the woman can pull it off and is not acting crazy sexual what do I care?
The answer is yes. I can;t stand when other woman dress or look better or sexier than I do. Almost wish they were dead.
