Christian or not, educated or not, wealthy or not. Possession and jealousy don't discriminate. I know I am generalizing, but it is a generalization based on experience and observation, not just my own. Thoughts? Again, I know that there are good men who don't display these characteristics, yet so many do...I would simply like to know why.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think that men have the monopoly on character flaws. Nor do I see control, possession and jealousy a reflection of how "good" a catch the target may be. It has nothing to do with the target victim at all. Nothing. Men who are obsessive with one will eventually move on and find another target. The women are merely props in these warped scenarios. . And women can be just as guilty.

Some men need to feel like they have control over EVERYTHING. Believe me-been there done that. I dated a guy who was extremely controlling, manipulative, and verbally abusive. Took a year before I gave him the boot. He needed to be in control of everyone and everything around him. I think it's a sickness.

When you have jewelry do you put it in a box and lock it up? Do you keep your most prized possessions under lock and key? Most people do. My husband is a very jealous man. One night just joking around I said Willy Nelson is really sexy and my husband got so upset. Yet we always talk about women that are sexy. It comes from his insecurity. That someone out there is better than him and will take away what he values. I don't really believe in it. I think if my husband meets a woman that would make him happier I would let him go. Love isn't about obligating each other. Or trying to cage one another in. I have never been in a relationship with a man that didn't show jealousy. Actually I have never been in a relationship with a woman that didn't act jealous. Wow, am I just that good of a catch? I doubt it. People are just insecure. I see the world full of people and know that there will always be another to love and someone to love me.

Why is a question regarding men? Insecurity seems to run rampant in women, too. I work in a business where there are a lot of women. So I had women friends, women colleagues, and women clients. But one girl friend of mine simply could not handle it if I even spoke to another woman. Seriously, I would see a client at a function and begin speaking to her, and my girlfriend would just WALK AWAY because she was so neurotic and insecure.
Needless to say, I dumped her. My wife doesn't worry about me, and I don't give her a reason to.

Gone are the days where honesty integrity fair play existed in this world. They have become a hard commodity. So people have to take care of oneself and dont get deceived by the people surrounding.The world is full of cheats and cut throat people.
Not only you lose your hard earned money, they may even elope your sweet heart if you lose sight of them even for a wink of the moment.Once you are down they would trample you and crush you. So all these philosophy do not hold good.

Men think that because they are men (it's been instilled in them that this is a man's world) they feel like they can do whatever and say whatever and we as women are supposed to sit back and be content with it. I guess it comes from the fact that (if u believe the Bible like i do) that Adam was created first, so i guess that they think that women are inferior in a way to them. But they fail to understand that without us they wouldn't be here cause men damn sure couldn't pass a baby through their equipment. But like u said all of them aren't the same way.

Maybe it has a lot to do with women they are exposed to as they grow up. Women who "play hard to get" or "coy". Most young men are faced with the rather daunting quest of "getting a girl" and often have their little brains all scrambled by girls and their games so by the time one actually has a woman to love it's like a precious treasure that must be guarded and hoarded away.
Just one theory.

Some research studies suggest that men, by nature, are a territorial animal. This territory can be applied to property, real estate, cars, and women.
Part of what I think is that a good portion of those men are just secretly insecure, and they don't want anybody to interfere with their "bubble".

Western men are carefully taught from cradle to grave to count their possessions and toys. It is the materialistic approach that life has become for so many. I wonder if it is on the rise or decline?

Insecurity presents itself differently in men. While women overcompensate from insecurity with looks, pettiness, gossip, etc., men tend to overcompensate by being possessive.

Instinct, some men have the instinct to be dominant, some can repress it, some cannot. Being overly possesive ensures they stay dominant.
