I have lost count how many times I've heard women ruthlessly roast their friends' love interests;

  • 'omg, you're so beautiful how can you be with him'

  • 'he's beneath you sis'

And though one might think it's juvenile, I've heard it from women well into their 20s, and while you may say it's friends just wanting the 'best' for each other, or girlpower gut instincts, there is no avoiding the elephant in the room here; that it's a toxic prejudice. That gets the man rejected before they would ever get to know him as a person
