Perfect example of why you shouldn’t join vixens unless you are typically ‘hot’… It’s full of pretentious bitchy girls doing Micky mouse degrees who think they are all-that!

Have you ever actually seen the Vixens? No offense to them whatsoever but they certainly aren’t a group that only include conventionally movie-like “hot” cheerleaders

They’re not all hot but they definitely think they are, all you have to do is look at the ‘committee’ and see them on socials!

whats wrong with thinking they are? Nothing wrong with a bit of self confidence

You sound like the pretentious bitch here anon

You sound like a bitter minger who didn’t get selected because you couldn’t learn their incredibly complex routines and intense training..

Actually, I’m a gymnast and I did get into the vixens back in 2012 but left after 2 months because of the bitchy cliqueyness. And Lol @ ‘intense complex routines’…

Rightttt, so let’s get this straight; 3 years ago, a few girls, who probably aren’t on vixens any more, were mean to you – and this means you’re fully qualified to label all of the current squad, of over 100 people, as being “pretentious bitchy girls doing Micky mouse degrees who think they are all-that!?” #Logic… Sorry, but you look like a twat mate.

Ok yeah let’s get this straight…
They were mean to everyone, it wasn’t a few girls, it was the ‘queen bees’ of the committee who’s attitude and behaviour rubbed off on the rest. I’m sure there are a few nice girls but the majority don’t come across as such. Examples of behaviour from vixens –
‘Housemate interviews’ where they slagged people off afterwards for not being attractive or cool enough.
‘Vixen auctions’ where they were auctioned off for dates like they were some sort of celebrities.
Deciding who should be in the ‘competition’, ‘dance’ and ‘games’ squads based on popularity/looks and talking down to people based on squad. Competition squad was the ‘important girls’ squad – “Oh, you’re in dance/game squad? Ok…”
Not really making the effort to talk to people in halls outside of their vixen clique, not sitting with others in catered halls outside of their ‘vixen table’ until the end of the year when they realised they actually didn’t have many friends. Suddenly, they all turned ‘nice’ but surprise surprise, they are still only friends with each other 2 years on.
Themed socials wearing next-to-nothing and sniggering at people who made a non-slutty effort.
I can speak for 2012-2014 as I know girls who were in the team for those years. The attitude of girls in this sort of group never changes and you can tell 2015 is just the same. If you want to continue acting like you are in school and being surrounded by bitchiness, go ahead and join.
And yes, they were all doing mickey mouse degrees or from Solent – so apart from their occasionally above-average looks and gymnastics they had no reason to have so much self-importance.
You can go and shave your back now.

Are you deluded?
None of what you say is true for the current club. Your information is severely out-dated and you look like a complete idiot. Not to mention sad, writing a spiteful and bitter essay about something which, again, happened literally 3 YEARS AGO. No one should have to take this horrible name-calling, just because of the actions of a few people, who aren’t even in their club anymore. There are going to be mean girls in every social group, that’s just life. Ironically, from the way you’re coming across, the majority of Vixens are probably much nicer people than you will ever be. Gutted.
tbf this is absolutely tremendous stuff and exactly the thing the comments need more of! name some names! come on! lets work ourselves up into a frenzy!
To ‘Anon’s a wanker’ – I’m guessing you’re a Vixen trying desperately to defend your club but let me spell it out for you: Being bullied affects some people deeply, causing them to feel strongly against someone/something. That doesn’t make them sad.
It wasn’t three years ago and it’s not out-dated, many people witnessed the same thing 2012-2014 and all the ex-vixens still all act the same way. Case closed.
general public- what does minger mean? i’m canadian and i’m not familiar with some english words.

The Vixens are a group of incredibly intelligent girls who are also strong athletes. Try and learn about the sport before you sit there, cowardly trolling.

Half of them go to Solent… Just saying

I agree with anon. I was the team’s photographer one evening. They didn’t even let me get in a photo with them all…
