Why are women so jealous when it comes to a guy looking at another girl?

Question

Um its only looking ladies get over it.

Answer 1

Its not Jealousy, its feeling disrespected.

Answer 2

Jealousy comes from insecurities.

I personally have never cared if my man looked at another just so long as he wasn't approaching her.

When I was younger my first husband and I would point out members of the opposite sex and say "look there baby, she's a hottie" or something like that.

If your gf is getting jealous just ask her why. Maybe she has been cheated. If indeed you are just looking just reassure her that's all it is.

Don't get upset because she is upset, nothing positive will come of this. She will just think you don't care about how she feels.

Although there is nothing wrong with just looking you don't want to do things that you know is going to hurt the one you say you love especially when you know it hurts her. However, looking is more instinctual than anything so you really need to just talk to her about it. And listen to her reasons as to why it bothers her so hopefully you can come to some kind of understanding about this.

Also, I just thought of this, is she really jealous or is she just playing around. Maybe she is playing just to let you know she is there. Sometimes if a girl doesn't react when her bf looks at another then the bf gets worried as to why. Just a thought.
I will pretend to be jealous just to get a rise (figure of speech) from my guy, it's just all in fun though and I'm sure you would know the difference if this is what she is doing.

Answer 3

That is so simple its like the first person said it's not jealousy its feeling disrespected. Its like when a guy goes to a strip club for the first time to get an idea of what its like, i think thats okay but when they go a second time because they liked it som much thats disrespectful. men should never put another woman before his own its wrong. You shouldnt even care what other women look like, and thats something you men have to realize, we dont just get over things we actually remember and hold onto every little thing you do that hurts us, so if we express to you that you looking at another woman hurts us we mean it and that means dont do it again. It also sets off red flags that you are interested in what else is out there or you wouldnt be looking in the first place. So you get over it, you cant do it.

Answer 4

You know, this is HUGE problem in the relationship that I am currently in. First of all, there is a difference in looking and gauking. A small glance is not harmful, but its the glaze up & down side to side that pisses women off. You need to watch how much you are actually looking at someone, especially when a gaze becomes a stare. No matter what, women are going to get upset for the most part because you are not looking at them. They way I see it is that guys are pigs and are not going to quit looking so there is no point in fighting over it. Although, I still mention that I noticed him doing it just so he knows its not ok to stare at other women.

Answer 5

because unfortunately a lot of women aren't very secure in themselves and don't realize that men are very visual creatures. Its sad really. Now there is a difference between looking and gawking but I know what you mean and most of the time its just women acting silly. I'm a people watcher so I notice all kinds of people. I comment on women's clothes, shoes, and etc all the time but thats just because I am very secure with myself and when I'm with a guy I have to be able to trust him or I wouldn't be with him to begin with. So if I was to notice my guy looking at another women I would probably say something along the lines of "I really like her dress" or something like that so he knew it didn't bother me. Unfortunately I'm in the minority and a lot of women just cant seem to fathom that their guy could possibly look at an attractive women without wanting to....or atleast actually following through with jumping her bones..lol Its just because we are wired different.

Alot of women are also drama queens and it gives them something to fuss about. It also puts you in a position in which you are forced to reassure her out loud how you feel about her which is something guys typically don't do enough of. I guarantee if you make an honest effort to tell her how in to her you are on a regular basis instead of assuming that she knows the complaining will stop.....or atleast slack off some. Guys hate talking about their feelings and women love it so if you can meet some where in the middle she probably won't take it so personally when you look at someone else.

Answer 6

XXXXXXXXX I say, be with the woman you want to be with and treat her as the only woman in your eyes sight. It's a pretty rude and thoughtless thing when a man you are with has "the lazy eye". It's not the fact that a guy looks in the direction of a girl per say, it's the way he drools and his veins start pulsating when he is in the presence of a woman whos trying to keep his attention and gawking at another. Saying get over it is very insensitive and proves you know nothing about a real woman or how to treat one. (Just my though hun, don't send me hate notes. )

Answer 7

Why are MEN so jealous when it comes to a GIRL looking at ANOTHER GUY? How do you feel when YOUR GIRLFRIEND is looking at A MORE HANDSOME BOY? I'm sure that you feel awful as we do. As it concerns, I compare myself with the other woman: Has she nicer curves than mine's? Is she prettier? Is she taller? Is she more sexy? I KNOW THAT IT'S A WRONG REACTION BUT I ACT WIUTH MY INSTCT.....

Answer 8

It makes us feel like they're better than we are! I found the best solution... look too! Me and my bloke always look at other women and guys together. We joke about it saying things like... I could look like that, I just don't wanna! Or, if you're gonna look pick someone decent!

Answer 9

My girl would get mad at me all the time for this,
not that I did it often
but when a girl looks good you cant help but to take a peek.
Insecure GF's get mad because they feel the girl we stare at look better than them.

Answer 10

if you look that is okay, it once when you start to stare, that is when it is a problem. However, I have seen women be quite controlling and start arguments because the man did just look.

My husband and I look at people and it is fine by both of us...when it becomes staring, it is a problem

Answer 11

I don't think it's about them looking. It's about how they're looking at them that may make you feel disrespected. If they just flat out staring and making comments then that's straight up rude. I don't agree with that at all.
