Jealous Much Sir?
What is Jealousy Sir?
It is actually a more complex emotion then one might think. It’s a mixture of emotions that can include anger, fear, grief, even feelings of betrayal and resentment. We learn jealousy during infancy and childhood. It stems from a basic survival instinct. When you're an infant your mother is your entire source of life so, it is built into us to be jealous of our mothers attention to anyone or anything besides ourselves and our own survival.
Four Types of Jealousy
Even though there's four types of jealousy
We are going to focus on the most common, dangerous, and complicated form of it in this article. There’s sibling jealousy; professional jealousy, which relates to competition on the job or at school; time jealousy, resentment of the hours a loved one spends with a hobby or career or other individual; and, of course, sexual jealousy the king of all jealousy. Are women more susceptible than men to being jealous? Hell no! not from my experience actually, men are more likely to be jealous.

Sexual Jealousy
Sexual jealousy is the most common, dangerous, and complicated of all four types.
From personal experience mainly on GAG sexual jealousy seems to follow me (mostly from men). It made no sense to me at first. The jealousy I received from total stranger's on GAG. "Why is this tiny gay man so angry and hateful to me? I don't even know him, have never even seen him before in my entire life." Why does a stranger feel this way about me or Wowgirl30q I should say? So, with that I decided to research unprovoked jealousy.
Can People be Jealous for No Reason?
Yes! Says Freud and many others in the field of psychology. There are even three types of sexual jealousy. Normal jealousy is a response to a real threat. Delusional jealousy is usually seen only in full blown psychotic people. Last but not least is Projected jealousy the lesser known of the three. This is the kind I personally experienced. This kind of jealousy can often be directed at rivals who don’t even exist in reality. Projected jealousy is often projected from men to women for various pathetic weak ass reasons.
Why be Jealous of a Woman if you are a Real Man?
What the heck could a Real Man be so caught up on about a woman that would arouse jealousy in the absence of a any real threat to him? Envy is one, he wants the attention she is getting from other men strictly for himself. It is easier to lash out at a woman by calling her names or judging her unfairly then it is to admit you have sexual feelings towards other men. It's insane, its pure insecurity about their own sexuality. I guess it hurts to watch someone who is dominating their sexuality while you are so uncomfortable with your own.
Jealous of a Stranger
So, why do men get jealous of women who they don't even know? There are many causes of jealousy in men towards women they have never met before or know personally. For starters, men think that if a woman is free she may reject, cheat or hurt them in some way (stranger or not). That is why men try to control women and also demean them. The targeted female might remind him of the girl from high school he never got, the one in college who laughed in his face, or the one last week at work. Who simpley just ignored him or his advances towards her in the break room. The male often times just knows that the type of female he wants is just 100% out of his league.
Conclusions
Jealousy is weak, it's sad, it's catty.
No Real Man should be jealous of a Woman
for any reason relating to their sexuality.
Be proud of whatever your sexuality is man or woman. Be yourself and embrace who you are.
Don't be angry at me for who you are not or
for who I am.
Look at yourself don't be cruel to others.
It's not my fault you have No Wow-Factor and are not appealing to your sexual/romantic interest. If having a Wow-Factor was easy everyone would have one.
