This is really about women's absolute need to be seen as the most prettiest person in the whole world. Which is outrageously unrealistic. If you don't think so, then if I told my girlfriend that Paris Hilton is much prettier than you, that would be instant death. But if my girlfriend said Tom Cruise is so much more handsome then you, then I would agree and say "so what". It's not like Tom's here and you're going to date him. That's the real difference here. Instead of following the golden rule, I think it would be a lot more constructive for women to adopt mens attitude on this issue.
