P.s. Jealousy, of course, is not for when you are together, but after you break up.
Hmm… I’d say…
Having a glow up — looking happier, healthier, and prettier than when you were with them.
Posting pictures and videos of you hanging out with other people and having a good time, including having guys around.
(Caveat: It can’t look like you’re coping and trying to get your mind off him with guys. It needs to look like genuine fun with both guys and girls — just good vibes. Not sleeping around or anything. Just good wholesome fun to show you’ve moved on.)
Basically showing them that you’re a catch and that they underestimated you, so that they regret f*cking up a relationship that could have been really good.
Hanging out with guys and going on dates with people that would make them feel insecure — guys that they might feel inferior to — showing that you can do better than them.
Now, if you do get in a relationship, you can do things with your new boyfriend that you’ve never done for your ex. You want to be the 2.0 version of you. Show them what they’re missing out on. Show them how much happier you are with your new boyfriend compared to when you were with them.
(Caveat: This should be a two birds with one stone situation. You never want your new relationship to be purely for revenge. It’ll be unfair to your new boyfriend otherwise, so all of this should come as naturally as you can make it. You should move on, out of respect for your new relationship. Ideally, all of these jealousy-triggers should just be a byproduct of you genuinely moving on.)
Most Helpful Opinions
I can see the appeal of maybe hurting your ex like he hurt you, which I imagine this is really what this question's all about, but, why go to all that trouble?
If he left you for someone else, he isn't gonna notice you trying to make him jealous, he's focused on his new girl.
The best thing you can do is just forget him and find someone else that likes you and wants to be with you. If for some reason, the new girl dumps your ex, and you hear about it, you can always have a little celebratory chuckle/fist pump and know he got a taste of his own medicine.
If not, then you weren't the one and it's better for you to find out now and not have wasted half your life on someone that isn't ultimately in the relationship.
After you break up, the only way to make a guy jealous is to get engaged. Any guy can date a woman, it doesn't mean he really likes her. But when he proposes, then all other men know he's serious. At the very least, when the new guy introduces you as his girlfriend, and he calls you nicknames in front of others, then other guys know he's serious. It's unfortunate that women implicitly have to be desirable enough for this strategy to work, but seems to be the only one that works.
Spoil yourself, be your happiest and carefree version, get successful, get in shape and show the world how sexy you are.
Basically treat yourself the best, put your happiness first.
Men sense when a woman is happy and they all like it like a bee likes honey.

Well first of all you don't look at it that way the one thing you want to do is you just want to be yourself you want to be happy you want to be glowing you basically want to show him what he walked away from or blew it with but you don't want revenge you don't want to be little and you don't want to rub it in his face you just want to be yourself and be happy that will just kill him LOL
Why do you want to make him jealous? If you've broken up, he no longer cares, and neither should you. Move on... like he has.
WHY would you want to make an ex jealous? He is an EX!
Firstly, if you're trying to make an ex jealous you're paying too much attention to them still, and this can backfire because even if you've convinced yourself that you're completely over them, this shows that you're not.
I had an ex who was obviously trying to make me jealous, but it had the opposite effect - I just found it funny because I was already seeing another girl.
The only thing that actually gets to an ex is seeing that you've moved on and gotten over them, but it has to be real. Again going out of your way to show them shows that you still care what they think.
Moving on.
Healing.
Focusing on yourself, inner peace, goals.
Letting new opportunities come into your life.
Allowing new people into your life.
Making new friends.
Getting a new job, maybe that job you’ve always wanted?
Obtaining a huge mental and physical glow up.
Lots of things..nothing. most guys don't get jealous and all you are ultimately doing is showing precisely why he ended things and why it was a good idea. if you want to actually have an impact live your life. stop trying to be toxic towards people no longer in your life. they left for a reason. all you will end up doing is making yourself miserable while he continues on finds a woman who is better (no good woman tries this to be blunt) gets married starts a family and grows old. meanwhile you will be spending all your energy trying to get him to see just how bad he is without you.
Not trying to make their ex jealous on purpose because that shows but to actually enjoy their Independent life. Try out new hobbies, go out more, work out, care about yourself, travel bascially do what makes you happy and improve.
It would be cool if there was a situation where he saw you with another - laughing and having fun together.
I can't really be made to feel jealous.
I mean, technically they can but that is my queue to end things. I wouldn't be with someone whose boundaries and actions make me jealous. If she is doing that stuff then I'm gone.
Constantly making plans that never include me, when we're supposedly "together," being secretive, and hugging several other men right in front of me like it's nothing. Very sus.
Alw make it seem as though you've got numerous guys who want to go out with you and have an intimate relationship with you. That never fails to drive us crazy... lol
People who resort to jealousy are shallow desperate and pathetic individuals. Its like if u are that desperate for attention you should have just stayed together.
Move on and continue with your life. Don't give a shit about him - including not caring if they're jealous or not.
Step one: Pick a weak man that doesn't have options.
Step two: Break up with him.
Step three: Profit?
Nothing. If the guy broke up with u then u no longer mean that much to him. He is too busy to look for another girl than worry about u. Unless he still loves u.
I recommend NOT try to make him jealous. You think he will not know it? He start to hate you. And start relationship with someone else. Would not you? Someone who should care for you hurts you instead.
That manner of thinking is immature and petty. Be better than that please.
If her new boyfriend brags about having way more blowjobs than I had ever gotten, maybe.
I wouldn't even bother. A lot of guys have moved on and are looking for someone new. Whatever an EX does wouldn't affect me. I already consider them ancient history.
If he broke up with you, nothing. Any attempts at making him jealous will just solidify that he made the right choice.
If you dumped him, I suppose just being happy would do the trick.
