| What makes guys jealous? Posted: 6/30/2006 2:14:10 PM | | Ok I this is my first thread that I have posted so people please be kind to me. Many guys say that they don't get jealous but I highly dought that. I think, everyone gets a little jealous once in a while. So I am just curious to see how many guys out there actually get jealous and what triggers you to be jealous. | |

| What makes guys jealous? Posted: 6/30/2006 2:19:54 PM | | It only lasts for about a second, when I realize she is interested in someone else. It ends with the relationship at that point. | |

| What makes guys jealous? Posted: 6/30/2006 2:20:31 PM | | very easy.....and im a guy saying this.......We all look at the opposite sex, whether we are in a relationship or not. Its only human to do so. The difference is that men look at women as "sexual" creatures. Women might look at men as "sexy" but i think that is as far as it goes......well men THINK that they are looking at men the same way we look at women ....hence comes the jealousy....dont know if that makes sense or not..... | |

| What makes guys jealous? Posted: 6/30/2006 2:27:26 PM | | also......if men are really jealous that usually means they are doing things behind your back and are afraid that you are doing the same dirty crap they are doing.......everyone has a bit of jealousy in them ...its just a matter of how it comes out and how you control it...... | |

If you encounter someone who shows these "signs/traits" - keep your eye open for other red flags giving indication to more serious issues within this person. | |

Sorry, I don't get jealous.
It is a big waste of time and only hurts a relationship. I have a couple of friends that are over the top with the jealous thing. They have lost some pretty amazing women over it.
I have also learned no matter how anyone try's to reason with them, they will not stop. With the two I know, it is clear they know they have a good thing. My guess is they are just so scared of losing them, they want to control every aspect of their lives.
On the flip side there are people that work at making you jealous. They like that attention. I dated one like that. Used to drive her nuts, no reaction from me, but I also knew that is what she was up to. We ended up apart, but still friends. She ended up with a guy who was a little jealous and she claimed to like that. He did not like us talking to each other LOL. | |

| What makes guys jealous? Posted: 6/30/2006 3:27:00 PM | When I feel it
Is when she has shown (at least in my mind) the ability to replace me in her heart as well in her bed. I would never be offended by another man's interest, however her reaction to it can cause some negative emotions. As it turns out, the times I felt the twinge, it was real.
My Ex never thought of me as jealous. I was always silly to think that she would destroy our family for another man. Ask her, she's married to her MSN spades buddy in Canada.
I feel so silly | |

| What makes guys jealous? Posted: 6/30/2006 3:36:21 PM | I really dont believe most people that say they never get jealous . Everyone gets a little jealous , just at different levels . Its how the jealousy is acted upon that matters . Some people wont show it at all , others will go the control route on their partner . Most people will fall in the middle somewhere. I tend to get a little jealous if I fell like Im being put on the back burner all the time , no one can tell me they dont mind that. If its not dealt with , its not like im going to get all crazy , and controlling ,but im going to walk . Oh , and Jealousy = insecurity ........ depending on the situation ....... what a pile of crap . | |

| What makes guys jealous? Posted: 6/30/2006 4:17:25 PM | | well, some guys are NOT the jealous type. For instance, when I was still married, some guy would be talking to my then wife, and it didnt bother me in the least. It DID bother me when he walked away without her. I was hoping he was gonna steal her from me. | |
|
| What makes guys jealous? Posted: 6/30/2006 4:20:58 PM | All kidding aside.........slight jealousy can be quite flattering.
But when its taken to far, it shows some emotional immaturity as well as insecurity. | |

| What makes guys jealous? Posted: 6/30/2006 4:31:46 PM | | I never got jealous until I was with my last girlfriend. We were together about a year, and then she started hanging out with all these "people" she met at work, but i was never aloud to go. Well I trusted her for a while, until I was doing laundry and a phone # fell out of her pocket with a guys name on it. I went to the bar they were supposed to be at, walked in, caught her by herself with some guy i've never seen, punched him in the face, and went to jail. I just hope she hasn't ruined me for the rest of my life with trusting women. | |

| What makes guys jealous? Posted: 6/30/2006 4:53:57 PM | | Not much makes me jealous. I don't care if someone has more money, more expensive car, nice house or a beautiful wife. But if I was in a long term relationship and my partner was on dating sites and seeing other men I don't think that would make me feel good and I would not try to continue that relationship, been there and done that. | |

| What makes guys jealous? Posted: 6/30/2006 5:20:01 PM | Well, one problem is the fact that many women use their sexuality a lot of the time, but they aren't aware of it. It's natural for them to be sexy and flirtatious. They always get more attention that way. Problem is that men don't miss that. We are very visual. When a woman smiles at us, we often mistake that for a subtle attraction. So when this supposed subtle attraction is given to another male - we get jealous even thought the woman might not understand it. Men want women to desire us so badly!!. When they desire someone else - it makes us feel like we just aren't good enough etc. That's why so many men are insecure. This goes back centuries. It's the way men and women are made up. We aren't made to join together like a perfect puzzle. We were made to learn from eachother I believe... which obviously is not easy. We, as people, need to stop being fake. We all have secrets, but that's not what I mean. We have to be honest with ourselves about what makes us happy in a relationship.
Sorry to ramble.  | |

| What makes guys jealous? Posted: 6/30/2006 5:27:15 PM | | # 25 I do not believe that! I believe there are more man related battery, common assault, spousal abuse and murder done by jealous men. Someone said it...we all get jealous at some time or an other, it just how most handle it. I feel if you have a faithful, loyal partner you should never get jealous but be proud others find your partner attractive. As long as they put someone in there place who is not behaving appropriately. Have trust. | |
