What are ways guys try to make a girl jealous?

- Some idiots stare at other girls in your presence and don't notice other 20 guys stare at you. I don't think a man will ever win this competition.

- Some try to show you that their phone gets steady messages, while If you post fresh pics on IG and allow messages from india and middle east, your cell phone will explode due being bombed with "how r u" messages.

- Oh and not to forget the mysterious ex. He brings you to a bar and you think WTF we're doing here? Then you see a woman who stares at you like she would like to kill you instantly. Then you think "ah okay, the jealous ex trick... I think we are done here"

Showing off that he’s interesting to other people… Showing off that he has a really superior job… etc.

[ManOnFire]

A big way is if he tries to make himself be seen talking to other girls who already like him romantically or at least they think he's a cool guy, which often times works believe it or not. Females are weird and have a thing for wanting to cling to guys who are charismatic and/or popular.

If a girl hates a guy in the beginning because of whatever ideas or ridiculous misinterpretations she had about him, she will change that quickly when she sees that many other people like him and think he's cool.

[Asker]

This is exactly what he did. But I didn't take the bait.

[ManOnFire]

But I suppose I would want to know why he wants to make you jealous. Did you have any kind of predisposition towards him from the beginning and he knew that and wanted to make you jealous? Or is this a guy you liked?

[Asker]

I don't know enough about him to like him but he got upset bc I don't text him after 9 pm. So he started posting random outings with a girl and told me that was his sister

[ManOnFire]

Mmmm... that's kinda weird. But if he said it was his sister then I can't see how he would use that to make you jealous, because a dude who wants to make you jealous isn't going to go and say he's out with his sister. He will post stuff with him and just a female friend to try to get to you.

[Asker]

The girl wasn't his sister and he didn't show her face. He just showed her nails and going out. I commented on the picture and he immediately replied to me but i ignored him. He didn't explain who she was but i think he wanted me to ask him. I told him im going to honestly tell him how i feel about his stunts.

[ManOnFire]

You said he told you it was his sister. Do you know that she's not because you know her some other way? Or you just don't buy it?

Tell him and see what he says. Can't hurt.

[Asker]

Yeah he told me she was his sister but I don't buy it. They went to make smores at the beach. I was going to pretend like I didn't notice.

[ManOnFire]

A guy who wants to make you jealous isn't going to admit that he's out and about playing Sesame Street with his sister. I do think the whole thing is getting to you though. In any case, tell him how you feel and see what he says.

[Asker]

Why would a guy lie and say so and so is his sister? He doesn't know me but was attracted to me

[ManOnFire]

That's my point. I don't think he was lying about it, and I don't think he was using his sister to make you jealous. I think he told you it was his sister to put you at ease if he suspected it might bother you, so that you actually wouldn't think he was out with another girl that wasn't you.

[Asker]

I don't think it was his sister. They look nothing alike. He probably went out with another girl. And that's fine - we aren't exclusive and he thinks I'm dating other men when I'm not texting him after 9 pm.

The same ways a girl tries to make a guy jealous. There is not much difference there.

Just like how a woman plays manipulative mind games and use the jealousy card on a man, the same way a man also can play the jealousy card and other manipulative mind games to try and make a woman jealous.

Irrespective to which gender does this, it is very cheap, immature behavior.

[Asker]

I don't have experience with girls trying to make guys jealous but it is very immature.

[ohsheeT]

Well everything that you read from this question that you've asked pay attention to it because if a guy is trying to make you jealous you need to walk away because any guy that really truly likes you he's not going to try to hurt you and any guy trying to make you jealous that's what he's doing so pay attention...


He's going to ignore you he's going to pretend like he's talking to other girls and he just doesn't care he's not going to give you the time of day he's going out with his boys it's always somebody something besides you any guy that tries to manipulate or hurt a girl to make her jealous in order for him to get what he wants it's wrong and you should know that don't fall for it and let him go because if that's who he is today that's who's going to be tomorrow except for 10 times worse

[nawtee_me]

If a girl gets jealous then we will never be together. Jealousy comes from a lack of trust and trust is the foundation of a relationship. So I would never try to make a girl jealous for any reason. If some guy is then leave them as fast as you can because he is controlling and manipulative.

[spartan55]

That's a girls racket. Guys rarely do shit like that.

[Asker]

That's a lie

[spartan55]

Keep telling yourself that. If guys are doing that to you maybe you should reevaluate who you associate with. Only an extremely immature guy would deliberately do this. Many times girls believe a guy is trying to make her jealous but he's actually not. It's the girl projecting what SHE would be doing in that situation.

[Asker]

How would the girl project if the girl doesn't know the guy?

[spartan55]

So a guy is trying to make a girl that he doesn't know jealous?

[Asker]

No where did I imply there was closeness involved in this question

[spartan55]

What do you mean closeness? You can't make someone jealous (or try to) if you don't know them. This fantasyland stuff is ridiculous

[Asker]

Plenty of people do so.

[spartan55]

Try to make someone jealous that they don't know? They fucking do not, just stop already, you are embarrassing yourself.

[Asker]

Ok old timer 🕺🐀

[Maebo44]

Maybe guys do during puberty and when they need validation? But I don’t see men doing that

[spartan55]

@Maebo44
That's about the only common example I could think of too.

[MikeTheBartender]

I agree w Spartan here. Guys don't intentionally do it. We lie, we cheat, we do a lot of dispiacable things, but dating and making women jealous intentionally is not our bag.

[BetaBucks]

By copying girls' behavior. 99% of guys aren't coming up with their own ways to make a girl jealous. They're just trying to get revenge on the girl. Most of the time girls feel jealousy, it's because the guy is just being inconsiderate.

[HaleyWalker]

I think that type of stuff is immature normally I just cut ties with anyone who acts like this.

[paledreams]

Better off not doing so. I outgrew that so long ago at 18. Never too late to learn to not be or do, that. It benefits no one. Be the better healthier adult person

[handsomelad70]

Look up chicks on the Internet or some dating app (as if a 70-year-old dude would be looking up chicks on a dating app!!!), talking up other women to their lady, etc.

[RingOfFire]

I don't think I've ever tried to do that in my life. But it might be a game that immature people play.

[IslaTheWitch]

stupid ways... I wouldn't play such games

[TheSpaceGnome]

What would be the point of doing that?

[DrPepper12]

Get caught cheating. Most guys do get caught.

[LiamJHayden]

No idea. I don't play mind games.

[RedInnocent69]

Look at, talk about, or talk to another girl.

[Asker]

I've never seen this take place

[RedInnocent69]

You must be hot.

[Asker]

Thanks!

[RedInnocent69]

And modest, too.

[Asker]

🫶🏼

[Asker]

Thank you!

[Dongie]

Screwing another girl, one you know.

[Anonymous]

By banging your roommate, bestie, sister, or mother.

[Asker]

Sounds like you have a porn addiction

[Opinion Owner]

Asker... nah, I have done all of the above.

[Opinion Owner]

Believe me, your mother is at least as horny as you are.

[Asker]

Like I said - sounds like you have a porn addiction

[Pterodon]

I don’t. Those are juvenile games

[Kingofkings1992]

You’re getting guys mixed up with girls.

[Anonymous]

Why would a guy want to do that?

[Joshgag2000]

If they do then they are not worth it
