Why do some guys get really posessive when they like you/dating? Where he is threatened if a man stares or shows interest?

I guess they are not so sure of themselves?
I can't cope with jealous guys anymore. I was in a relationship with one. He was possesive. Hell, he even locked me in for 3 days so I wouldn't go to work. I left when he almost hit me once.

It could be a sign they will be like that even in a long-term relationship and will want to control you such as what you wear. Does he get upset if you look at another guy?

Matarchial mindset. Anthropologically, all matarchial societies are necessarily primitive, ergo the unnecessary mate guarding.
