Why do some guys become jealous when they see their girlfriends talking to other men?

I'm not talking about flirting with other men, or men who are obsessive or controlling. I'm just wondering why some guys get jealous when other men approach and talk to their girlfriends. I mean, how far could a guy get by just chatting?Why do some guys become jealous when they see their girlfriends talking to other men?
Some guys can get pretty far by starting off chatting. It isn't nice to generalize all men, but I would say that some men have been cheated on before or they just have self-esteem issues... or he could just really not like the other man. If you are in a relationship with someone who micromanages your day - take a minute to think of whether he is really worth the arguments you are going to have in the future until he trusts you. If you don't want the struggle, move on, but if you really think he is ';the one'; then you will probably have to help him through his insecurities. While you are thinking about him, think long and hard about your intentions of talking to other men... do you like or crave male attention? If so he may have reason to be jealous because your insecurities may allow you to do something with a man that you will both regret just to fulfill your needs. If you feel it is nothing more than chatting, and not for the attention, then find a way to get the boyfriend to talk about why it bothers him.

It all boils down to how much self confidence he has and how much he trusts you. It's human nature for both men and women to become jealous to a certain extent. Biologically, we compete with other men to ensure that our genes get passed on, so it makes sense to become jealous. Believe it or not, women are the ones that usually get way more jealous than men.





By the way, every time a guy that doesn't know you and approaches to have small talk with you, he wants to get in your pants. Period.
i dont know but that is how my husband is i just tell him oh ok i remember that so when you are talking to a girl then i will just stop you k he just gets pissed off and i am like ok what ever loser i mean i just think that they are trying to show off or something i would just tell him hey you are just going to have to stop that **** i mean you dont own me we are just dating and yeah i can talk to anybody i want just like you can but when i start flirting then that is when you can get mad. Good Luck.
well if you see your girlfriend talking to another guy (i personally got a little jelous) because she would laugh all the time and stuff, and she did actually flirt with this one guy a couple times infront of me, so i had a reason to be..





i guess its the thought shes enjoying herself with someone else rather than you that kinda bugs ya, but as long as i KNOW i am the only guy on her mind, i dont care if they talk
I think it's the fact that other men are


interested in being with you.


It gets boyfriends wondering:


'Couldn't he be chatting up some other girl?'


'Why does it have to be MY girlfriend?'


It's these questions that get boyfriends questioning


other guys' motives for wanting to talk to you.





Good Luck.
i suspect it's hard-wired into us by evolution. thousands of years ago, there were less people and therefore less woman available for mating.


if your mate became attracted to another male, it would mean you would lose access to possibly the only viable female available for you...it could also signify that your alpha male status in the group was being threatened...





today there are plenty of options for males but the gene that apparently triggers this feeling we call ';jealousy'; hasn't gone dormant yet...so, when we see our girlfriend chatting with another male, it triggers this out-of-date competitive instinct...





personally, i have been able to purge this instinctive reaction from my emotional make up....I don't mind sharing ... ;)






Well thats just it how far can a guy get by just chatting? A first date? A second date maybe? A night of pleasure? Maybe a mourning after? Or if he executes very well a companion? a companion for life maybe? You never know where a conversation can get you...That is usually how the whole, ';getting to know you,'; process begins.
goos question. i am a guy and i experience some of this. its just common courtisy not to chat with a nother mans girl i guess. do on to others as ud have done to you. i just keep reminding my self that she has a great man that would be veeery hard to top so i have nothing to worry about. but what worrys me is that if she ever decided to try out another guy and realize she screwed up, i wouldnt take her back, or it would be very hard to. its being greedy like on her part to leave a good relationship just to try something else. or in my case, shes at school an hour away and im home and if she gets drunked up and dose something with another man....thatd be the worse. we all know we do dumb things when we're drunk.
With all the cheating in the world, I can't blame a man for being skeptical. Men and women are very snaeky and a conversation could do a lot of damage, especially if he's a talker like myself.





Be carerful with the male company you keep... most of them want you.
guys always tend to feel that when a there girl looks at another guy that there not enough or that the other guy is better..the same thing happens with girls, don't you think?





it a human behavior call insecurity..it happens..but it your job as the girl friend to make him fell secure in you..maybe then he wont have to worry about some other guy stealing his girl away..
It is because the guy is insecure, but then again if you are with someone there really is no need to be flirting with anyone but the person you are with



the same reason a girl would get jealous if a ton of girls just came up and started talking to her boyfriend.
Insecure...automatically assume the guy wants her or she wants him or that she's gonna cheat.
because they think they like the other men more then their girlfriends more than them.
maybe the guy is insecure. :/
