Why don't men get jealous more easily than woman?

Question

OfMiceandMen · Accepted Answer

Not sure, but I knew at an early age that jealousy is double-edged sword. I can't be jealous about my girl talking to guys, if I think it is completely harmless for me to talk to girls.

If I am wrong and it turns out she gets involved with another guy, then I typically chalk it up to it being her character and not mine, so we weren't meant to be in the first place.

However, I don't carry that over to another girl, bc that would be my insecurities. I would rather trust and live than be jealous and bitter my entire life.

I find guys get jealous when possessing or owning the girl is important to them. Some guys don’t care and view her as a free agent, knowing he can replace her in 2 months if she cheats with another guy.

They do, most are just not as vocal as women

Sometimes it's because women move on so fast like it's nothing. It just makes you feel like the whole relationship was fake.

One girl I dated started with another guy who was a total loser. I was actually offended he had so little to offer. Kinda hard to be jealous in that situation.

And then sometimes they find someone who is genuinely better for them and you kinda just say to yourself "huh, so that's what she was looking for"

I don't know, for me personally I think that a relationship is a two way street and if we didn't work out then we probably weren't compatible. It's not really something by itself to feel jealous about just because they moved on.

We get jealous , we just hold it in better than women do , cuz we know most women aren’t attracted to a insecure jealous man so we bury it as much as possible so she respects us and looks up to us , cuz we know what other men are thinking , if she loses respect and trust in us and becomes distant from us and not giving us much affection and intimacy , we start to feel unloved and unwanted , that she doesn’t value us anymore sometimes we feel she is accepting to another guy that is telling her all the things she wants to hear so he can get her into bed , when we give our heart to a girl we want the same in return

- Some men do and shows it, whether that is right or wrong I guess is how well you both read your partner and how much you'll hold an imaginary grudge.
- Some men do and holds it in, usually because jeallousy is an ugly emotion and sometimes because it might not be what it feels like it is, we know we aren't psychic.

But I'm not sure we feel it more or less than women do. Possibly less intense in general.

Women are equally threatened because emotional attachment can be made with either sex. Gender roles are inherently related to evolution. Jealousy is an emotion reflecting weakness and desperation. Females are predominately associated with emotion, which may be why they are thought of as being more jealous than males.

Phoenix98 · Answer

Jealous comes from feelings and women have always been more emotional or more in touch with their feelings.

while men have always been more rooted in practicality and logic then emotions and feelings and jealousy is neither logical or practical.

Men and women also process things differently and think differently.

thats why in my opinion anyway.

Texaskid1 · Answer

Some men do get jealous but do not act on it. A physical fight over a women is a dangerous thing - teeth get knocked out , people get stabbed or shot and someone ends up dead or in jail.

Mos men know that it is very easy for a women to find a man and have sex so what would be the point of fighting over a women? If she is going to leave you then so be it.

LiamJHayden · Answer

Not sure. I do not because there is no point. If she'd rather be with someone else, then I'd be second choice or lower. Not interested in that.

Because some women think that they're the prize in the relationship. If a man finds another woman who's prettier than her and end the relationship, she'll get jealous.
