    Lol not sure about a particular hormone and haven't read the rest of the thread but I think it's a primal instinct thing. We tend to compete with each other for the man that can protect and provide for us and our children the best. That's really what it comes down to.

    This thread makes me glad I'm a lesbian. If I were straight, and after reading this, I would be scared that some hussy would come along and target me because of my non competitive nature, then steal my husband and eat my children.

    I think it depends on the woman, I know women that get along with everyone female and I know women who are total haters. I think it depends on what they look like too, more beautiful women are accustomed to attention often and when someone else is getting more you get a hater. I dunno, just my opinion.

    I am glad that, as a man, I can admire another guy who looks better or has more than me rather than being jealous or envious.

    From my few years on earth and even shorter time on this forum, it's apparent that women can be jealous beings. So my question is, do women have some sort of hormone that spikes jealousy levels? Not saying men don't get jealous too, but as a man I've never looked at someone much more attractive or more built than me and actually envied him. I may aspire to be better, but I can't grasp the concept beyond that.


    So, do you ladies have this hormone, and what is it called?

    I DUNNO BRAH, MY WIFE GETS ALL JEALOUS WHEN i SNIFF THE SEATS OF OTHER WOMEN AT THE GYM WHEN THEY'RE DONE. WOMEN BE CRAZY BRAH.

    We don't all have it. I try to use that energy towards something positive, like working on becoming a better version of myself. Isn't that ultimately why we are all here?

    Unlike what others have said, I don't feel the need to be the prettiest in the room. In fact, I accept the fact that "pretty" is a very diverse term meaning different things to different people. Everyone is bias towards their personal preferences.

    Instead, if I see a specific aspect (such as muscle build) in a girl that I think looks good, I use that as motivation and strive towards that as a new goal.

    I think it's generalized as a female characteristic to be catty and jealous all the time, but it's not all women and not limited to women. I think it more has to do with personality types than anything. If you easily feel inferior to others and have an Alpha complex, you're more likely to get the "catty" "jealousy" feelings. It's not a good/bad thing to get these feelings either, it's just something that is. It's only bad when you begin to act in an indecent way towards others based on the feelings. Keep that in mind, folks! :smile:

    Because men make us feel we are not pretty enough. Society says we have to look a certain way. Our husbands and boyfriends have been wired to think it is ok to eyeball/fantasize about every attractive woman he meets. Becuase Porn is now main stream. Because every celebrity has a sex tape/bikkini picture. Becuase everywhere you go it is forced upon women and pressured into us to be look act a certain way.

    Its hard out here for a pimpet, we have to be skinny, young, a porn star, a maid, a mother, and do all this while looking cute and never having a rotten attitude........

    We never feel good enough/pretty enough so when we see another woman who is prettier or seems tohave more than we do it seems as though she has it so easy.....

    It is a lot of things, also it comes with immaturity.

    And yes I get jealous. No one is perfect.

    A lot of people are relating jealousy/envy too insecurity. Am I the only one who's incredibly insecure and never felt jealousy or envy? I agree with a previous poster who related it to a competitive nature. I was never able to understand competition, so maybe that's why? I always have good thoughts about everyone until they do something I don't like, like be mean to me or others.

    I've actually never witnessed this behavior either. The posters here make it seem like a common thing. Maybe I hang around an odd bunch, but I don't think this is very common. I think another previous poster was right when she said that people automatically assume women are jealous of each other if they don't like each other. Unless the "jealous" one actually comes out and admits it, how can you tell? There could be tons of reasons why women don't get along, just like there are with men.


    you are not the only one, i don't hate on other people because i have always been insecure, i can't say i am a jealous person i have said in previous comments that i worried about my husband finding someone better but it wasn't because i was jealous of certain people it's because i didn't feel i was good enough for him in my own mind. I try to be a good person to everyone and compliment people men/women when they look nice. I have even went as far as to ask some women who are more ripped about how they did it and for advice to help me get to where i want to be. I don't want anything that anyone else has and don't aspire to be like anyone else. I may not love my body but i love my personality but i do have experience on a regular basis with people that say bad things about people they don't know----it could be jealousy or something else but that is a reflection on them and not me.
