Why do guys try to make girls jealous?

Question

My ex added me on Instagram he likes my post and he comments. And he views my story. Tell me why he started posting girls and he changed his profile picture to this girl. And then he posted this person wearing my favorite team shorts. Like does he want attention 😂?

Immaturity and probably want to manipulate stuff for the audience and crowd. To give themselves a kind of advantage type thing over their comp etc. For example they could be trying to impress one of your friends.. Or.. Maybe somebody else who may be watching. And they could be trying to attract them.. Etc..

Cause men like that are mighty stupid and do that to make themselves feel better about themselves, same can be said for ladies as well, it's always to make yourself feel superior than the other just to look down on each other, which no one gives a shit about except you.

it's just a mind game... a way to control you you could say just ignore it ik it's hard but he seems like a piece of shit

Probably. I think guys do this when they're insecure or want attention from a girl, or want to gauge their reaction.

winterfox10 · Answer

Usually we aren't trying it. But, when we do, it's because we can't honestly tell if the woman is still interested. Women don't think about the fact that men want/need attention and consistency too.

It’s not just guys who do it. Women do it too.  Some people just crave that kind of attention.  Ignore it.

I never understood this logic. But he clearly got your attention if you took the time to notice all that shit and then you’re on here posting about it lol. So... there's... that..

In many cases a guy does not have to try that hard. Most women select my dislike each other. And often talk about each other behind closed doors. Maybe even to each other’s face now and then.

Irrespective to whether a man tries to make a woman jealous or vice versa then main reason if to test and see the reaction.

Why do girls act like they have it all when guys ask them out and the girl says "is that it? pathetic." and starts bashing him and his mental health because he had feelings for you.

Reamer · Answer

Um is it also his team? Maybe it has nothing to do with you and you should move on.

Either... 1. He's over it and thinks nothing of it.  OR 2. He's playing a passive aggressive game of making you feel bad. Why do you think it's #2?

theronaldmcdonald · Answer

Just hide his stories and posts, that’s what I did to my ex before I eventually just unfollowed him.

Yes, but he's a teenager boy, right? That would be something a lot of boys do.

you are under 18, so you are probably dealing with an immature kid

DiscomfortZone · Answer

Same reason girls do the same to guys: a combination of pathetically fragile egos and an attempt to score some sex with the ex.

Anonymous · Answer

I assume for the same reasons girls do that, and let's be honest... it is typically more of a female behavior than a male one.

I wonder why people generalize over gender ; based on their single individual experience 😅

Because in some instances it works to increase a girl's interest by engaging her competitive instincts.
