Men? Women? Or both are equally as bad as each other? I'm a bit bored so I'm just interested to start up a fun psychological discussion.

Imo from what I see on here and with my friends and family I think that women come off as more jealous of a pretty girl than men do if they see a handsome guy, I don't notice jealousy as much with men anyway as maybe we might hide it better I don't know.

Poll will be up shortly to cast your votes.

[Livia]

I'm going to say it's about equal, but women get accused more by men.

[Cal.]

Equal I guess - it varies.

[joeysteele]

I'd say equal overall. I have come across it in both genders.

[Kazanne]

From the slagging off any boy band gets on here,I'de say men but saying that some women get catty but as Livia said guys like to blame jealousy in the fact girls don't like other girls,so would have to go equal

[Vicky.]

I think women tend to be more jealous of things such as physical appearance.

Where men tend to be more jealous about things like wealth and power.

On here (and most places) its made out as if every woman is jealous of every other woman though and its seriously ****ing annoying. Pretty much every reality tv show when a woman (especially if they are attractive) is voted off its ALWAYS the fault of 'jealous women'

[Livia]

So true, Vicky...

The bottom part of your post sounds like me when Lauren gets eliminated on TXF.

Agree with this

[kirklancaster]

I have never been short of male friends, but for most of my life, I have elected to spend most of my time with both, girlfriends, and 'girl' friends.

This being so, I have very strong opinions on this subject which are based on my own personal experiences, and also upon my non personal experiences.

I actually believe that women are less jealous of their own sex than men are of theirs, but the difference is, that women do not hide their jealousy as well as men do.

If a woman genuinely dislikes another woman through jealousy, she is more likely to bitch, let her feelings be known, and definitely not 'hang around' with that person.

Men, on the other hand, are far more devious. A man who is jealous of another man will be more likely to never confront his feelings, and will be far more likely to hang around with the guy whilst backstabbing him at any opportunity, and even secretly wish for his downfall whilst slapping his back and wishing him well.

If a woman is pretty, and attractive to men, jealous women will not 'hang with her' under any circumstances, but will instead form little groups and backbite the pretty girl, label her a slut etc. etc.

A covertly jealous man by comparison, will be 'friends' and hang with the object of his envy, if that man is handsome and able to 'pull' girls, because the jealous guy is hoping to benefit by association from the guy's abilities to 'pull' women.

I have experienced this throughout my life. Which is why I preferred the company of women, once I realised that successive male 'friends' were actually back-stabbing jealous bastards - something which did not happen overnight.

It is the same with wealthy guys, powerful guys etc, the trusting unaware ones are always surrounded by sycophantic hangers on who - in reality - are jealous backstabbers, there only to benefit from association.

Famous victims who suffered because of covert male jealousy, include; Elvis Presley and Mike Tyson.

Just my opinion.

[Ninastar]

none

labels are so bad!!!!! stereotypes are wrong!!!!!!!

[Kizzy]

Yes and the next time I see someone labelled a 'chav' I'll point it out.

I would say women are envious of the lack of pressure to be both productive and nurturing.

This.

Do we really have to put people into boxes based on their gender? People are individuals, some people are jealous of others, some people are bitchy, that doesn't come down to gender, it comes down to personality and we all have different ones

Typical woman thing to say

100% women, tv voting stats say it all really. I was watching IAC with two white girls yesterday and they both hated on Kendra and Nadia... I wonder why.

[Kyle]

Raph wading in with the blunderbuss, you get off that fence mate you'll get a splinter.

I'm gonna cop out and pick the diplomatic answer, both equal.

Is the fact that they were white relevant? lol

I completely disagree with your point though. Men "hate" good looking male celebrities just as much as women do, the difference is that women are accused of hating because of jealousy but men aren't. Most straight men hate One Direction for example and that's put down to them being a **** band, if a woman hated Cheryl Cole it'd be because she's jealous of her not because, well, she's a **** "musician" this happens all the time, I notice it all the time. Another example is driving, I'll be a passenger in the car with my husband and as we travel he'll come across people doing stupid things that'll make him annoyed, just as many men and women but when its a woman he'll say something like "****ing woman" where as if its a man it's "wanker" or whatever, the fact that he's a man isn't brought into it

[Crimson Dynamo]

Yes its most certainly women and their green eyed ways


I have never met a woman yet who cant meet another woman without giving them the head to toe look


evil, evil species

Maybe there is something in their personalities that the girls don't like,maybe they come across as big headed etc,but because you find them attractive its maybe easy for you to form that conclusion,the girls probably just don't like them,it happens.being attractive doesn't automatically make you likeable.

Well said Niamh.

Exactly (not that I dislike Kendra or Nadia yet anyway, have only seen one episode so far!) Women are awful jealous of these good looking women yet Ashley Roberts was a firm favourite in her year and probably would have won if Charlies daughter hadn't been been paraded around at the eleventh hour how is that logical?

Thing is, with one direction he genuinely weren't talented. That being said, someone like Ben Haenow who's obviously attractive has a large male fanbase. I'm going to see if there are any psychological studies on things like this.. Would be interesting to see factual evidence, either way.

Look at the women getting defensive

But no, I'd genuinely say it was an equal thing, I'll admit to being jealous of other men a few times.. either because of looks, who their partner is, their success/wealth.

Women do get accused of it more, but i think that's because jealous women are much more obvious than jealous men.
