Okay i have always heard that men like competition. Is that really true? I mean REALLY?

I know the thrill of the chase and so on. But, say you have already dated, you stop seeing each other (his call, only thing he will say is that "it just was not meant to be" ?) and then everytime you see him he is watching you, you can tell he is jealous. He tries to make you jealous. He is the one who ended it remember. wtf?

why is he jealous if he is the one who ended it?

If the girl flirts with other men (okay on purpose) is that going to make him compete for her or is it doing irrepairable damage?

Better question, why does it matter? I'm not competitive, so that makes %0.0000001 of the population of men. Again, who cares?

i am. competition isnt bad, its people who make it bad

to add to it, make someone work in a realtionship, otherwise it is taken for granted, 50/50 effort, like fixing a house, much more gratification in the end product.

competition in sports, yes. relationships no. it's supposed to be about compatability, not who can win a prize. that makes the person an object.......and i would object, lol.

If he broke it off with her, why would he care who she talked to, sit with, danced with? and why try to make her jealous?

If a woman is trying to make me jealous, I just find another girl. However, I have found that often a woman doesn't know she's attracted to a me until she feels a little jealous.

Its a competition thing. He doesnt want you but he doesnt want anyone else to have you. I went through this with myself in my 20's....until I took a look at what I was doing and why.

I for one have never been one for competition, as there's just too much bull-honkey to have to deal with, and that goes double for the whole dating thing. I'd rather just get done what I need to get done and get it all over and done with.

Because, some people think that they have such boring lives, they create undue Drama to make their life more interesting... Instead they should learn to be happy with what they have.

What did you discover about yourself Gypsy?

That I am highly competitive and I didnt really love the guy......I just wanted him to love me for the sake of him loving me and not that other person. So, now I really analyze what I am doing and why.

Hes an immature goofball, dont play his childish game.

I whoe heartedly agree!

Relationships don't work in a 50/50 enviroment, it must be 100/100 for it to work, otherwise they are only half trying.

I don't do competition

I dont have time to play games. If a woman want me to compete for her then shes better off with someone else

but if it's my girl and some guy thinks he can woo her away then he's setting himself up for a broken nose. I'm from Texas and we haven't learned all that non-violent sensitivity crap yet

Competition? HA! Who could compete with me? Nah, seriously...

If I have to compete with other men to win someone's affection, then she's probably not the one for me. Either she likes me, or she doesn't like me enough to pick me and only me. I feel that I stand out enough without having to try. I'll compete for the highest game of bowling or the highest video game score or for checkmate on a chess board, but for a woman - no. If there are other candidates in the field and she wants to make a game out of seeing which guy will jump through her hoops, then let the guys go jumping. I will congradulate the winner and wish him luck making it through the rest of the hoops she's going to throw at him through the relationship. I can find someone who doesn't want me to jump through hoops to win her affection.

what he said

That sounds oddly familiar

If I am in a situation where I feel like I have to " compete " for someone, I just say ' see ya '.

I have better things to do.
