Why do women feel more jealousy?

do women feel more jealous?

Spa09 in what sense are you asking, are you asking about jealousy in relationships or what?

If you are asking in general, well I wouldn't say that women feel more jealous, as men can feel as jealous too, its not about the gender, but about ones feelings and what kind of person they are regardless of their gender.

I would think that it is a self-esteem issue. Although, I have never understood why anyone would waste their energy on being jealous. None of us belongs to anyone; thus, there is no point in feeling jealous or possessive for that matter. I think jealousy is a poison for the soul.

It depends on both the woman and the man. If he is the kind who flirts with other women or accepts and encourages their flirting, I would think his woman would feel jealous, even if she is not the jealous type. He gives her a good reason. He makes her feel that he is not committed to her but also available to others.

On the other hand, there are jealous types, both women and men. You don't have to give them a reason to be jealous, they'll find one or make one up.

I think that jealousy can result from how a person was raised. If a person was raised in a loving environment then entered a relationship where she didn't receive the same amount of love that she was used to in her childhood, she could feel jealous over something that her partner seems to dote on. I also agree with ButterflyEs about the self-esteem thing. If she doesn't feel like she is loved, she'll become jealous of something that is being loved. This doesn't always have to happen within the confines of a relationship.

I think a woman would tend to be jealous if she doesn't feel any assurance or security from her partner. Men should appreciate women. They have to be truthful in whatever they say, especially when it comes to girls. In that way, women would build a trust on their partner. Once they trusted you, there would be no jealousy. By the way, what do you feel when your partner is jealous? Are you happy or annoyed?

I think it depends on the type of his / her jealousy. If it is always there, for no reason at all, then it would be annoying. I have heard about such relationships, and it is very hard when no matter what you do, you just can't prove to them that you are not "looking elsewhere" or cheating.

Some minor signs that your man / woman is jealous when others are trying to get your attention can be pleasant, I suppose.

I would agree with Kyles. If you wouldn't feel secure with your partner, then you would tend to be jealous. It really important that each should compliment each other. Honesty and open communication would also be the remedy for this kind of problem. Do you think guys have the same reason with the girls why they get jealous?
