When it comes to some things like work and sports, I think that both genders are equally competitive.
Who do you think is more competitive sexually?
I say women. Women are absolute cats to each other when it comes down to breeding rights.
What say you?

In that case, you'll see heated rivalries in the WNBA that you see in the NBA, like Lakers-Kings, Celtics-Knicks-Nets, Heat-Magic, and Trailblazers-Supersonics.
As for fighting for the opposite sex, I do agree, women are very competative for a select group of men. Men are usually cordial and are willing to accept when they have lost in the game of love.
Very interesting, tell me more about this female aggressiveness. Does it apply 'only' to men?

I think women too ... but only because men don't give us a damn chance ... So we have to take it (it just give us more strenght)
I should learn to read the whole post before I touch the keyboard!
I agree with Robdar. Mav
I have to agree with Robyn. Guys definitely compete for women, but not with the same sheer hostility.
One time when I was in high school I saw two girls go at each other over a guy. The one girl had the other girl by the hair and was banging her head on the sidewalk. It scared the living shit out of me!

I have found this to be true for the most part. There are some exceptions though.

Golf, it can apply to sales (currently I am in sales and it's been interesting) but not to the extent of the pure meaness I have seen women express towards other women that they think may be prettier than they and could attract the man that they are after. It's weird and I've been watching the interaction for years.

FBF, I have seen men try to play women against each other. I guess that they like a good cat fight. I had a boyfriend many years ago who went to great lengths to pit me and his ex against each other. For a few months we bought it. Then one day, we discussed the situation and found out what had really been going on--seems he had been lying to both of us trying to turn us against each other. When we found out what the deal was, WE turned on HIM. He regretted it, believe me. She and I are still friends. He is long gone.
I learned a valuable lesson: Men are not worth fighting over. If a man wants to be with you, he will. If he doesn't, no amount of hostility towards the other female is going to make him stay.

Mav, I wish that I had seen your first post. Feel free to express yourself.

LOL Dan. Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "watching the fur fly", doesn't it?

Right .... why anyway ? to win who and what exactly ?

FBF, I agree totally.

Define: COMPETITION:
Striving for the same "object" with a fixed set of rules
I see no difference gender-wise. I do see differences according to individual character.
If two competing persons value the same object and they both desire possession of that object equally; I say it will depend on the nature of the character of the persons striving as to how far they will go.
A sports analogy is inevitible! Take Olympic competitors: No matter what, the efforts come down to the person. What are they made of? What makes them succeed and what makes them quit? It is in the genes. It is not in the sex.
To the extent a woman has less muscle mass, stature or physicality--it is to that natural limit she can compete vis a vis man. But, WILLPOWER? No differences at all!
To generalize about the sexes is to miss the essence of individuality. We are all different. It is a cop out to attribute competitiveness to sex. It is the BRAIN, the WILL, the character and the nature of the gene pool and not the sex that matters in competitive action.
My two cents. I'll give you change if I'm wrong.
