    A snarky one I heard from a woman to another.

    “It’s amazing how you can pull off THAT outfit”

    Implying poor taste in fashion. I do think delivery is important here.

    I don’t have a lot of petty female friends but I’ve certainly encountered them and they are masters of the craft of two faced insults. Especially involving taste and habits.

      My dim brother threw something similar at that me (he always wears whatever plaid is in fashion). I will admit my fashion is loud, but damn if I don’t look good. I cheat a little. I have a tailor who will take my cheap button downs and tailor them for 10 bucks so i always look sharp as fuck.

        “I love how you are so confident with your body to eat that”.

        No fat-shamming like girl fat-shamming.

        I’ve on occasion realized like days later that I was being insulted cause my little monkey brain was just thinking.

        "This cake is good. I don’t know what that has to do with my body confidence ".

        Honestly I used to joke that negging doesn’t work on me. Not cause I’m so smart I see through it, but that I don’t realize some guy is trying to insult me until like the next day. Or sometimes never.

        This one guy at a bar after telling him about my graphic novel collection

        Him: “you arent that unique you know?”

        Me: “yeah I know, Ive met people with similar interests online. There is a whole subreddit on the locke and key series, very popular”.

        Him: states at me blankly as then i proceed to tell him more about the series he was obviously only half assed pretending to be interested in.
        His loss. The locke and key series are fabulous.
