| Do you think its in a guys nature to try and make a girl jealous
Posted: 3/4/2008 2:50:15 PM | say you dated this girl for a little while things didn't work for whatever reason so it's ended. you both see eachother on a regular basis pretty much and the heat builds between the two, but she won't allow it to happen (because of being on different pages and fear of becomming just a fwb) even though she really wants him in her life. He starts seeing a girl, but the other is on his mind (called her, ran into her on a deserted beach walked together but said nothing at all about the situation, made some attempts that were attention seeking etc.) She explains to him although she has likes him very much and would like to be friends she realizes that they are not on the same page in life ( she wants a relationship, but he suposedly doesn't)
Do you think its in a guys nature to try and make this girl jealous what would cause a man to do this? he is seeing someone, but seems to get off on trying so very obviously to make the other jealous. I guess this could go for guys or girls, but considering I'm the girl in the situation I thought I would get a guys point of view. | |

Posted: 3/4/2008 3:00:23 PM | | I'd have to say it is not in our nature. I'm not saying we're not capable of actively TRYING to make a girl jelious, but if it were a natural ability, then I think the females on this site would be the ones posting threads titled "How do you get a man to write back?" | |

Why the hell would you be playing with him like that? Neither of you want to be "friends"
He wants to get in your pants and you don't want to let him and you want a relationship with him and he doesn't want that. Why don't you just be realistic and move on. Neither of you are capable of a friendship.
He has no respect for you because you put yourself in a position of nowhere with him and still stick around for some reason. If you move on, he won't bother with you if he has someone else keeping his attention.
You have the choice on what happens in your life. Not choosing like you are doing now is causing your problems, not him. You have the power, take it and make a decision. | |

good answer, out of sight out of mind. Havn't been able to move yet though. I know it's a go nowhere situation and made the decision not to go there with him. And I have no intentions of wasting my time on trying to change someone. I am definitley persueing other options as well. | |

This reads like it was written by a very naive 17 year old.
vvvvvv

Posted: 3/4/2008 7:35:13 PM | I think it's in a woman's nature to become jealous all by herself without provocation.
Perhaps, he was just telling you what was going on with his life.
Now, it's in a man's nature to be insensitive, because we're thinking like guys and we aren't PSYCHIC to anyone's feelings. This lack of ESP is referred to as insensitivity. How are you supposed to know what's offensive or not?
Insensitivity is the lack of censorship. Being abusive is when do it intentionally, and you know you've crossed the line. But where is the line? Who sets it?
"You should just know better" is a horrible irresponsible answer, that fails to look at it deeper.
Have you ever joked with someone, but unintentionally offended them? It's kind of like that, but with the majority of women, most of the time. That's what it's like being a guy. Being a guy is like telling off-color jokes all the time whenever you speak, and the rest of the world can't take a joke. This is why we are born with penises, because when all else fails, those are pretty funny.
Maybe he was simply telling you about his life in a friendly way. You can get upset, or you can nod and share the story telling experience just like any other story. | |

Posted: 3/4/2008 7:46:26 PM | This girl, that girl, the other girl. Jeez, we know it's you. These threads would be easier to read if you didn't pretend them to be hypothetical.
Guys don't try to make girls jealous. Now, rejection hurts. So if I'm rejected, and my pride is wounded, I don't mind if the woman that rejected me sees me with someone. But that sort of satisfaction is unrelated to jealousy.
I read your post a few times. What did he do wrong? | |

In as much as I quote this tongue in cheek, and I think the title of the thread is rather silly-I'd say this is probably more true than your title.
I can't follow the OT, it's too confusing, but it sounds like you're doing it to yourself more than anything. | |

Posted: 3/5/2008 1:01:24 AM | Of course. Men don't really like having sex with more than one woman at once. Men only cheat on their g/f because they are being ignored, and just want to make her jealous so that she'll start paying attention again.
Where did you get this from?
Most of the time, if a guy told a woman he wanted to be with her, and she didn't want him, and he went out with someone else, it's because he wants a relationship. He'll pick the girl he wants the most, but if he doesn't want her, someone else will. No-one is irreplaceable. No-one. But you can show that you are worth keeping. | |

Posted: 3/5/2008 1:41:44 AM | As others have said I'd think it a bit underage to turn the first girl into a jealous person just for the fun of watching her sweat over not having him in the first place. But some men can and do get off on the idea of making another person suffer, it holds true for females as well. Shrugs, I would ignore him in this case and not fall prey to anything that might or might not be there.
Hugs,
Charles. | |

guys really dont play games.... there actually very simple,, girls play games.
Heh, I actually kind of agree with this. I've heard from a number of "girlfriends" about men "playing games" or "mind games" and in most cases it's pretty obvious that the guy was just too stupid to do the right thing.
Men shouldn't be thought of as companions. More as... trainable pets. :)
There's a saying, called Hanlon's Razor: "Never blame on malice what can be otherwise explained by incompetance". I think there's nowhere that applies more directly than to men. :) | |

No. I think the games women play can force a guy to counter with his own games, but I think this form of retardation is rarely initiated by the guy. | |
