especially in business relationships, to get ahead or to ruin someone else's life. Men are just as underhanded as women. It's just more likely to be excused in men while in women it's considered evil. With that being said, men are way better at handling conflict and competition than women. Two men will become better friends after a conflict or confrontation while women's relationships will fall apart because of a conflict. I know I don't handle conflict well at all.
Just out of curiosity, which has been your experience, men or women being more underhanded and back-stabbing?
Thank you for asking. Over my entire lifetime, and with the hundreds of thousands of interactions of which I have knowledge, both direct and indirect, it's about even.

I was all prepared with a serious answer, then I read the last 3 sentences and can't stop laughing! That was great! Really funny stuff! : )
All I know for sure is that, when it comes to strategic thinking, the 'dumbest' of women can run circles around the smartest man. Women can think on multiple tracks whereas men can only think on one or two (if he's lucky). How that plays out in a contest of vile wiles in business is anyone's guess. :-)
Whew! For a minute I thought you were gonna fall for this. :-)
