Why do some guys get jealous really easily?

They could be good looking, maybe even a player but still get jealous really easy.

cyrus7 has a good point even though he has only half of the equasion...

Yes territorial bahaviour is half of the equasion, but likewise it is more subconscious than that. Subsequently, our species as a whole (humans that is) are biologically female dominant... The first stages of fetal development, all fetuses are inhearently female... (FYI, that is why men have nipples...) Worldwide, females outnumber males 2.5:1, and it is hardwired into the male psyche to spread his dna like wildfire without the interference of other possible dna donors. Likewise, in early human existance, be it biblical or darwinistical, most male humans were polygamistical... Monogamy is a modern concept. Therein, it is hardwired to be terrritorial toward women involved with even if they are philanderers.

The other half is more conscious than the previous: It is because of the conflict of ego and the "id"... In the short and simple terminology, it is the manifestation of the selfisness of the man to have his cake and eat it as well without the interference of another male be it actual or virtual. Moreover, it is a blow to the man's ego for the female to overtly check another male out.

The same could be said about females about the second half, although...

I read a lot of psychology books of my own volition and a few anthropological reference books likewise... Just want to figure out why we as a species are as we are.

Wooshh. From experiences, girls get jealous a lot easier. Guys tend to be more protective a lot more.

Well it's all human nature, guys are insecure like us girls sometimes are about other girls. They feel it's a competion if their girlfriend or love intrest is starting to like someone else or giving another guy more attention then them.

Why do some GIRLS get jealous really easily?

They feel that other girls are competition, like their boyfriend will become interested in someone else. It's insecurity, and guys are not any more immune to it than girls are.

I`m asking about just guys here, not girls. Thanks.

[queenofpeen]

Yeah, and I'm saying guys get jealous for the same reasons.

[Jinmetsu_Rasetsu]

Hmm... Similar to my answer but you emphasised on the female half more than I have... However, I tried to be a little more nutral though... Good point nonetheless...

[jhann]

because we think that you girls will find someone better looking then us.

[cyrus7]

Males of every species are very territorial, that's why :)
