Who makes us jealous

Understand that others are interested in a partner may cause us jealous, but not all of the competitors have the same threat. High value of the romantic match competitors and to dwarf our own competitors, our relationship will form a worrying threat, but also easier to arouse our envy. Adversaries we are concerned with some of the achievements or skills to go beyond We are particularly vexing. Attractive to competitors of the partner is a lot to worry. Men are self-confident, powerful and resolute men more jealous (which are able to demonstrate that the characteristics of individuals with the resources), while only a little jealous of handsome men. In contrast, women compared themselves more attractive opponents jealousy, rather than the more jealous of those who believe and powerful opponent. Both men and women, when the opponent to their partners what they like, when available, will experience more intense jealousy. But the comparison, for women, the most threatening is the physical attractiveness of men, it is powerful.

What makes us jealous

Evolutionary view is that jealousy is conducive to the protection of our intimate relationship free from harassment of others. Imagine, the original human beings only reacted strongly against the invaders, such as the invasion of outsiders to remain vigilant and will repel competitors, and strive to meet the current partner and so on, in order to make them successful in maintaining relationships and successfully breed. In this view, jealousy in the past provided the advantages of breeding, so it will naturally become a deeply ingrained response is inevitable. Even more interesting is that this view also believe that gender to be alert to the different types of disloyal partner.

Men, faced with issues related to reproductive offspring, while women did not. Women know for sure whether the child was his, and for men, unless he believes that the partner did not have sexual relations with another man, otherwise he was not sure whether the childs father (can not use any advanced technology conditions) . In the evolutionary sense, for men, if there is a partner infidelity, and you too much trust in partner, did not find such disloyalty, its price may be higher, the consequences more dangerous. So, today, more males than females have more extramarital affairs, but in the spouse of their loyalty to the issue of whether the husband is not convinced that even more than his wife. The uncertainty of fatherhood to men than women to sexual infidelity is more alert.

A result, the thought of male partner sexual infidelity most easily when the jealous feelings of the female partner is not faithful to the reaction of the strongest, that is their partner may be in love with someone else. Each type of non-loyalty would lead to jealousy, but the evolution of their respective meanings are different. For men, the threat to his offspring is not a partner for someone elses love, but sex. If his partner fell in love with another man, his children can still continue to survive, but the man certainly not willing to raise other peoples children. In women, even more dangerous is not a partner have sexual relations with others, but others love. As long as the man to continue to provide the resources necessary for survival, her children can still survive, even if the partners so that the other woman pregnant; but if he fell in love with someone completely out of their, that our childrens future will be compromised.
