Who gets jealous more: men or women?

[robocop666]

Men hate it when women like me. I get attention all the time and I do not tell men as they get angry.

Men

Women

[Vampirelover_12]

Men. You can't even date or flirt men anymore. Most of them don't want to be a father anymore. And when they get jealous, oh boy do us women have to hear it. All they do is YAP about us cheating.

[Nikki1989]

It has always been women with my experiences. Men are not far behind, though.

[robocop666]

well men get jealous of me a lot. I must never tell stories of women showing interest in me as men get angry.

[bddddd]

In my experience, men fight over women more frequently than women fight over men

[bddddd]

I gave up jealousy 16 years ago. It has worked out well for me.

[Anonymous]

It is always men.

[robocop666]

so you look good then?

[Opinion Owner]

I think I am handsome. However, that is for the ladies to decide. I did have two women fight over me once. The one actually pulled out a weapon on the other one. The police had to be called and everything.

[robocop666]

I never had that. I have had a few women showing interest in me and people noticing.

[StarWarGirl]

Men are more possessive or egoistic but female are more jealous. There is difference.

For men what's theirs is theirs they don't like others to touch it even. But females simply gets jealous.

Jealousy is the emotions what is associated with fear of losing but possessiveness is more related with ego of having it.

[VIVANT]

If you must own something by definition you fear to lose it. Thats ego.

[StarWarGirl]

No. That's one of the others indicator of having ego but that's not ego.

your idea or opinion of yourself, especially your feeling of your own importance and ability - that's the ego.

In ego you do get defensive. But in jealousy you need not to get defensive always. Jealousy is the pain we feel in our heart because of our insecurity.

But in our ego we feel pain because of the attack on our self image.

In ego we are more attached with self but in jealousy we are more attached with other things not so much about self.

I know for a fact that most people's instinct is to say "women" because it's often perpetuated in both the society and the media and other places that men are three dimensional characters while women are just caricatures that exist to look sexy for men and who get jealous at other women; but when you really stop and think about it men are often really jealous as well.

Whenever men see another man with a beautiful woman, especially if they see the other guy as ugly and way below the woman's leagure, they go something like: "Lucky fucking bastard. I bet she only likes him because of his money."

Or they get jealous about who's the alpha male in a certain setting, and they wanna outcompete with the alpha male to show they're the true alpha male. Like they wanna prove who's the most physically strong, loud, rowdy, most violent man. And if they fail they get desperate.

Or getting jealous of anyone more successful than them in general. They see a guy richer than them: "I bet he only got to where he is because his parents were rich." Or they see a woman richer than them: "I bet she only got to where she is because of her boobs."

Or ungroomed, filthy, disrespectful, asshole-ish guys who get angry at women for not paying attention to them, and getting jealous of the guys women do pay attention to, while not taking a look at themselves.

That's 4 different examples, I think that's enough, lol.

But yeah. Whether men or women are more jealous I don't truly know, though I'd pick men if I had to choose. But either way, men are a lot more jealous than a lot of people think.

[Rosexøxø]

I think as for the intensity of the jealousy it can be strong for both because of hormones lol. But also not everyone gets intensely jealous either. Whether hormones or their actual self confidence that helps ease things and for them to move on. (This is for both genders).

As for who is insecure more I would say it’s more evenly split. Just like on average. Not perfectly even but somewhat. It depends more so on person to person. How their view themselves and others, and how they treat others. And what they value. 🤷‍♀️

I’ve seen jealousy from both genders being extreme and not so much, and then I’ve seen self composure and resilience on both sides in different levels. It depends ofc. It depends on the people. It’s never a collective thing. 😂

[ManOnFire]

Yep, gotta say men on this one. Men will go out of their way to tell their woman she shouldn't be talking to a guy who she's just friends with, or friendly with in every day association. This is why you will have women who suddenly switch up on you and decide to act coldly because that's what her man wanted.

[Jove79]

Women are more jealous than men.


Why do you think men get cheated on more.. because we are more laid back and less insecure, and we put more trust into the woman. which makes it easier for them to cheat. If we were more jealous and insecure we would catch all kinds of red flags.

[robocop666]

I thought men cheat more?

[Jove79]

I think women cheat more, they’re also more likely to divorce and end the marriage according to statistics.

I think Women cheat far more, they’re just EXTREMELY good at hiding it, because a guy naturally assumes she won’t do it, and he can’t see past the beauty, love is blind, they’re so good at it, it usually always goes undetected.

Guys suck at cheating, she can see signs a mile away

[robocop666]

well I have had many women try to cheat on their boyfriends and husbands with me. I turned down 100% of them

[Luopio27]

Not a question of gender, more of a matter of what level of popularity someone is!


Alfa males/females on top of the food chain are lusted over and envyed at the same time by those who can only dream of them but never be their boyfriend/girlfriend.

[PBandJ_Nerd]

I feel like it's equal on this, or close to it.

[SolitarySolace]

Men. But women use male jealousy to their own advantage all the fucking time

[robocop666]

how?

[SolitarySolace]

How? Easy. Women will deliberately make their partner jealous to provoke a reaction—whether it’s to test his feelings, manipulate his behavior, or boost their own ego. Flirting with other guys, name-dropping exes, or talking about someone “hot” just to watch their man squirm isn’t uncommon. The point isn’t love—it’s power. And when a guy reacts emotionally, suddenly he’s the problem for being “insecure” or “controlling.” It’s a double standard they get away with far too often.

[Katalina04]

Women i learn this from age of 4. Growning up.

[robocop666]

are you sure? tell some stories? I want to learn?

[Anonymous]

I think it depends on the person, not on their gender.

[robocop666]

good point. However I get jealousy from men a lot.

[Opinion Owner]

That's because hot girls like you, right?

[robocop666]

YES THEY DO

[Opinion Owner]

Lucky you ;)

[blackeagle007]

Both. It’s not gender specific. Men and women are equally territorial.

[Agape93]

Men in my experience.

[NathanDavis]

jealous people do

[red-lipstick-girl]

Women are more jealous than men

[robocop666]

not in my world

[Jay-_-]

It could quite literally go both ways.

[LiamJHayden]

I don't, but I think men overall do.

[Panthero]

It depends on the individual.

[DrPepper12]

Ego much? 😉

[robocop666]

how this is unpleasant experiences I had? I get it from time to time.

[Sluttt]

Both

[Nerdvana]

Yes.

[ABC1x1x]

What is a woman?
