What makes guys jealous?

Question

Finchie40 · Accepted Answer

You can only be jealous over something , that isn’t yours. A Guy can be jealous of a lot of things, that isn’t his. But If you are speaking of relationships? A guy can be jealous of his girlfriend , if she isn’t choosing him the same way she expects him to choose her. she doesn’t follow boundaries the same way she expects him to follow for her. Which sadly happens in a lot of relationships. But the truth is that isn’t jealousy , it comes down to respect for each other basically what you don’t want your partner doing to you? needs to be the same boundaries you do for them. Not the other way around. If you don’t like your partner talking to the opposite sex? then you don’t talk to the opposite sex as well , if you don’t like your partner going away with friends? then you don’t go away with friends as well. It can’t always be your way or no way , if that’s how you see things? You will never last in relationship period. You have to learn to give the same way you want to receive. Understand you can’t always get your way. Whatever you can do behind your partners’ back , they can easily do to you behind your back. Learn to respect your partner the same way you want to be respected by them. Remove selfishness for your partner the same way you want them to remove it for you. That’s the key to having a long lasting happy relationship.

He needs to have feelings for you to be jealous and if he has feelings for you, why are you trying to make him jealous? I suppose the same things women are jealous over - you receiving attention from potential other suitors. But if they are so jealous they feel threatened that is a red flag - they should feel secure in your relationship and trust you. Jealousy is healthy if its mild but when they start behaving strangely or trying to control you based off of a feeling that is not backed by any behavior coming from you, its a red flag.

Hii, why would you want to make a guy jealous? I can assure you that whatever situation you’re in that you think the answer is to make him jealous there’s a better way to handle it. You need to express what the situation is to get a better solution. Making him jealous isn’t the way to go about things. Most common reason is you want a guy to show he cares but why would you only want him to care when he’s jealous. If I knew about the situation I could possibly help you more. Good luck < 3

Guys feel all the exact same negative emotions as women do including jealousy. But it seems like it’s more societally acceptable and “comical” or some bullsh*t to intentionally make men jealous. I remember overhearing two girls in college saying “it’s cute when guys are jealous”. At the time i had a huge crush on one of the girls but I trusted her way less after hearing that bs. I was actually glad I overheard her saying that. It showed me what I was dealing with.

It’s considered cruel intentionally does this to a woman he’s considered cruel. Also women can openly show jealousy and not lose face the same way a man can.

Be careful on this one ladies. I know some of you like to sh*t test men on this (or worse you like to torture guys you don’t like with this). It’s one thing if you inadvertently make a guy jealous. Quite another if you set it up and intentionally do it. It’s extremely unfair because the man is generally held to a much higher standard about maintaining self control compared to a woman. If he loses it and reacts the same way a woman there is a chance he will “fail” her stupid ass sh*t test.

Just don’t do it.

Depends on the man but these can generally be an issue:
- Attention towards their SO.
- Attention from their SO to potential competitors.
- Hugs from competitors.
- Usually male pushovers that are 'friends' (friendzoned).
- Partying places (out among bars/clubs) where he's not invited to participate, like 'girls night' out.

Though, in my personal and probably too rational opinion, trust is a choice. I'd think I'd be able to trust that she know she's being hit on all the time and that she controls herself even if she'd have her interests sparked.
Otherwise we might aswell have an open relationship so she can come and get approval for the night, or something.

Being made to feel insecure in the relationship and the intuition that she may cheat, usually this intuition is correct. If she flirty with other guys, allows or encourages other guys to sniff around her, dresses slutty, has a history of cheating etc this will make any guy feel jealous or insecure. Social media is another great indicator. If she constantly posting scantily clad pictures on fbook and Instagram looking for likes and male compliments then she probably going to cheat.

Seeing my bro have 6 kids with his beautiful wife he married when she was 21 and he was 35. I didn’t think much of it then because I was young and just lost my two kids in family court. So I had time to date around and I put off a serious relationship because I didn’t think I ever wanted kids again. Now I’m a bit older, now I’m about his age then, I look great and I have money and there’s an awesome woman, a nawalt if you will, but I feel like our situation makes us too incompatible and we are uncomfortable around each other but not the bad uncomfortable, its the situation.

Anyways, I want a family now and I’m jealous of a guy who got daddy’s money, who doesn’t seem to good looking either and who just fooled around most of his young adult life but still scored a happy family with a younger woman in the end.

it's usually when they see their girl getting attention from other guys, whether it's flirting or just being super friendly. Also, when we talk about our exes or even just how hot some celebrity is, they can get a little' green. It's all about that fear of losing us or not being the top dog in our eyes! 🤷‍♀️

Breanna_nonbinary · Answer

The same thing that makes women jealous. The belief that they own someone. The belief that they are owed some sort of loyalty. And the notion one’s own insecurities about one’s self.

Depends on the man and not every man gets jealous either.

If you are asking because you want to make a guy jealous. . . you really should be asking, "Girls, have you ever made a guy jealous to try to save a relationship and if you did, was it successful?"
