How to make a man jealous: psychology tips

When to be jealous

One of the possible reasons is to awaken old feelings.
All people are jealous. However, some can control this feeling, while others cannot. Uncontrolled jealousy is destructive; it does not indicate how much a person loves his partner, but demonstrates his emotional immaturity. A useful feeling is one that allows you to refresh past feelings, nourish love, strengthen a family unit, but not destroy it.

Let's look at at what point you can start thinking about this way of intriguing a man as jealousy:

he cheats;
there are relationships, but they have stopped developing;
your couple has long stopped spending time together;
common topics have disappeared, you are bored together;
a man doesn’t care where you are or what you do.

All these signs indicate that the partner’s feelings have cooled. Indeed, it's time to try to stir them up.

If no attempts are made on the part of the spouse to promote the development of the relationship, it means that he is happy with everything or simply does not want to make any effort. In such a situation, there are pitfalls that may affect you personally:

probably the current situation suits the man, but you don’t know how to change something;
your husband is able at any moment to replace you with another woman who will be less comfortable, but “alive” and interesting, who knows what to do to stir up a man;
your family union can probably survive, however, most likely, you will degrade, everyday life will completely absorb you. In fact, many couples live this way;
if, leaving the walls of the apartment, you go only to relatives - this is a bad sign. Over time, your spouse will decide that you have become boring, and this will lead to a cooling of feelings.

A guy who doesn't care where his girlfriend is is absolutely sure that she's not going anywhere. When boredom appears in a relationship, it is a sign that you have stopped being interesting even to yourself.

If a man cheated, then we need to take into account his polygamy inherent in nature. Understand that an affair may not indicate something serious. However, in repeated cases, a woman should think about why this is happening, perhaps she is not giving everything her husband needs, it’s time to reconsider her own behavior, and only then try to persuade her husband to be jealous.

A woman tries to make her husband jealous when she wants to feel wanted, loved, and feel that the man is afraid of losing her. In this way she proves her own worth. When a woman provokes her partner to jealousy, she shows that she is still interested in other men. This is necessary so that the gentleman understands that she is at a high level and can always leave, since there are many people around who want to be close. When a woman resorts to jealousy, she tries to strengthen the relationship, restore it, and help her partner sort out her feelings.

How to make a guy jealous from a distance?

Here you need to act carefully so that jealousy, in addition to introducing ardor into the relationship, does not have the opposite effect. A guy who realized that as soon as you broke up for a while, you immediately went into all serious troubles, is unlikely to want to stay with you. Therefore, know when to stop when you make your loved one feel jealous. Here are some tips to help him miss you even more.

Don’t call him 10 times a day, and when he calls, don’t immediately rush to the phone, pick up the phone after 6-7 rings, and in general, not every time. Do not call back immediately, but after 30-40 minutes, and answer the question “why is it taking so long” rather vaguely.
Let's understand that when you're apart, don't sit and wait for him at the window, but spend your time varied and fun , lead an active and eventful life. You are always in a hurry to get somewhere. Don’t let conversations on Skype or online correspondence last too long - remember, you are a busy, interesting person, you have a wide range of interests, such a girl is worth a lot.
During the next conversation, tell him that you changed your hairstyle or hair color , or changed your image. It is a well-known fact that a girl in love always changes her style to appear more beautiful, more perfect, will make him count the days until he returns.
You can also tell in detail how last weekend you and your friends visited a nightclub or bowling alley. The main thing is not to invent too much and not to go too far with unnecessary details.

Why isn't a man jealous?

A woman will not be able to cause jealousy if a man’s feelings have cooled due to an intolerable character

There are times when a girl makes her man jealous, but he does not react at all. Why is this happening?

Loss of female individuality. A girl who stops developing and becomes a shadow of her man loses interest in the eyes of her chosen one.
Frequent hysterics and whims drive a man crazy, which affects the loss of interest in the object of such behavior.
Dissatisfaction and constant criticism of a woman disappoints any guy.
When a girl disrespects the interests of her partner, does not respect him, she falls low in his eyes.
When a woman is a pathological jealous person and blows her husband away, on this basis it only creates a desire to cheat, but does not in any way provoke reciprocal feelings.
The unkemptness of a girl who believes that at home she can look like anything, influences the fact that the guy eventually stops seeing her as a former beauty.
Having total control. When a man lacks free will, he very quickly becomes disillusioned with such a relationship and thinks about breaking up.
Excessive demands on your partner. A woman must understand that she, in essence, reflects what her man is like. If you think that you need to change, then you need to start with yourself.

How to make a man jealous and afraid of losing a girl?

Lead a busy lifestyle . A cool girl, whom men are afraid of losing, in their eyes should also lead an equally cool, bright, eventful life. Sitting and hanging out at home, waiting for his call or invitation, being a submissive gray mouse who is always in the “access zone” is prohibited if the goal is to make a man jealous. We are never afraid of losing what is always at hand, so become a little more inaccessible to it for your own benefit.
The next point follows from the previous one. Most guys don't like long conversations, including on the phone. If you are constantly busy, you will not have time for this. Oddly enough, but by keeping communication with a guy to a minimum due to your own busyness, you will attract and tie him to you much more strongly than with long conversations and frequent meetings. He will be jealous of you, so active, cool and in demand.
The hype around yourself. If, in addition to your male partner, the situation allows, be sure to pay attention to them in the conversation, do not focus only on your husband or boyfriend. He must understand that your attention is a gift, and you decide who to give it to.
Important point : you cannot be the initiator of attracting male attention, otherwise you risk looking frivolous in the eyes of your man. He just might think that you are not really interested in him and that your feelings and attitude towards him are false. You need to act subtly, wisely, using tools such as feminine charm, intuition, emotional attachments, body language and gestures. Later in the article we will consider all options and situations.
Let the man understand that even if your relationship breaks down, you will not treat this as the biggest misfortune in your life . Because there are so many of them, fans and those who want to get your attention. But in no case should this thought be manipulated in any situation: a man must understand this at the subconscious level, certainly not from the words or direct actions of his girlfriend.

How to make your husband jealous

There are three main factors that will definitely make a man think that a lover has appeared in his wife’s life.

Stop talking on the phone when your spouse is nearby. If someone calls you, and it could be your mother or friend, pick up the phone and leave the room or even the apartment. After such a conversation, you can return in high spirits, let your husband think that someone else is forcing you to be happy. Be prepared for the fact that he will soon begin to monitor your calls and messages.
Diversify your life, let some hobbies appear in it, go to some meetings and events, exhibitions. But don’t forget about household responsibilities and children. Let your husband understand that your life does not revolve only around him.
“Tuning” your appearance. Your husband will definitely notice that you have changed. And this will make you suspect that this act is due to the appearance of another man.

How to make your lover jealous?

Relationships with a lover are all the more complicated because they are not clearly defined. If you have agreed in advance on an open intimate relationship, but deep down you want to transform your union into love, try to make your bed partner jealous.

From time to time, refuse meetings, citing being busy, but do it gently, being in a good mood.
If you feel like smiling at a stranger or a man who gives you an admiring look, do it. Let your lover understand that although you love and respect him, he is not alone in the Universe, and until your relationship is transferred to the category of “official”, he has something to fear for.
Your lover must understand that your life, in addition to your bed dates with him, is filled with a lot of interesting events, activities, dialogues that give you no less pleasure than meeting him.

How to deal with a guy

Show him that your communication is fleeting, that you are not very interested in his company. Chat calmly with other guys, but don't start flirting. Let the chosen one be nervous.
When communicating with your boyfriend, you can mention several times about some man who did something for you, helped you in some way. But you shouldn’t talk about other males too often.
After a weekend apart, don't talk about where you were or what you did. But be sure to mention that they were amazing. Let the guy think about what happened and who you had fun with.

How to make your ex-boyfriend jealous?

When you meet your ex on the street, always be in a good mood . Even if you have nothing to be happy at the moment, try to put on a friendly smile. Everything is fine with you, life is in full swing, there are a lot of interesting men around you, and he should understand this.
You should look even better and more well-groomed than during your relationship with him. Let him see what kind of girl he lost, and that such beauty has certainly already gone to someone else.
He will definitely be convinced of this, because during your conversation you will be distracted by calls and SMS , to which you will answer with a mysterious, happy smile and sparkle in your eyes, even if it was just written by a friend (let him think that he is a fan).
If your ex directly asks if you have started a new relationship, do not rush to answer “Of course, and for a long time!” Just let on the mystery, and with the same sparkle in your eyes answer, “I have a person with whom I feel good . Such a turn, much more than exclamations about how happy you are with the new guy, will make him jealous and “bite his elbows.”

Causing jealousy on a social network

You don’t need to be online all the time, disappear sometimes. The young man will think about where you are now and what you are doing.
Put statuses on a love topic, but don’t write anything serious. Let the young man think about whether they relate to him or not.
Display photos on your wall with a group of friends and guys. Let the guy see how bright your life is.
There is no need to immediately respond to his messages.

If the man is far away

When communicating via video conference, a girl should look perfect.
When lovers find themselves at a distance from each other, this is a serious test of the strength of their feelings. For some they become stronger, for others they fade. Let's look at what methods will be relevant in this situation, in particular, if it is possible to communicate over the Internet using video calls.

Appearance. When a young man sees a beautifully dressed, well-groomed girl with hair and makeup on his monitor screen, he involuntarily begins to wonder why she looks like that now.
To intrigue a man in a conversation, you need to mention interesting incidents at work or school, talk about some colleagues, specific people, especially males.
A little ignore. There is no need to rush to answer your boyfriend's calls or messages. Let him be a little nervous. This will hurt his pride and force him to take action.
Changeability of mood. During a video call, you can abruptly stop maintaining cheerful communication, interrupt it, or pretend that you are reading a message on your phone, then stop the conversation. The man will notice that you have things that are more important than him and this will definitely cause jealousy.

My friend Lena had a boyfriend whom she dated for a little over a year. The girl wanted the young man to appreciate her, tell her how much he loved her, and be afraid of losing her. However, she did not see this, she did not hear words about love. It so happened that the gentleman was sent on a business trip. That's when the plan to make her jealous was hatched. Lena began to behave with restraint, did not call first and conversations were quick and without emotion. At some point, she told Igor (the guy’s name) that a work colleague had kissed her, and her feelings for him began to cool. Of course, Lena took a big risk. Igor’s first words were that they needed to break up, that the girl had betrayed their feelings. However, after just a day of visible reflection, the guy changed his mind and realized that he could lose his loved one. He said that he would forgive everything, and finally admitted that he loved her very much. Upon returning from a business trip, the couple submitted an application to the registry office. Today they have been husband and wife for five years.

How does female jealousy differ from male jealousy?

We must understand that female and male jealousy are different feelings. When a woman is jealous, she first begins to blow her mind, then she realizes that another woman will waste not only her man’s time and emotions, but also money. At this moment, a woman pulls herself together, begins to take care of herself, and becomes the best version of herself. At some point, she realizes that she loves a man and will not give him to anyone. Then forgiveness comes and as a result, the woman herself kindled love and passion for this man, plus she upgraded herself. ⠀

Men have a different jealousy. A man is afraid that his woman might have sex with another. A man is afraid for bed, for sex. Moreover, he doesn’t know what another male can do with his “property,” but what if he can do better? what if there is more? what if more often? Those. all male jealousy comes down not to emotions, but to preventing a potentially better man from getting to his woman.⠀

So male and female jealousy are two different feelings, so if for some reason you want to awaken jealousy in your man, then you need to act wisely. ⠀

Adviсe

A girl who wants to make a guy jealous must understand that great importance must be given to her own person. There is no need to get hung up on the object of your adoration; it is better to devote more time to caring for yourself, your appearance, your figure. A young lady who has completely forgotten about herself will become uninteresting in the eyes of the prospective guy and is unlikely to be able to indicate her relevance, trying to arouse jealousy.
A woman should have secrets. You shouldn’t tell your boyfriend everything, it’s better to remain a mystery. Then it will be much easier to make a man jealous.
It is necessary to keep your gentleman in constant good shape. A young man should always understand that at any moment he could be left without his partner. A woman who devotes herself entirely to her man ensures that he begins to feel like her owner. Such a person will never become jealous, because he is confident in his power over a woman.
If you strive to evoke a jealous attitude, try to always be different. Let the man think about why his partner is either cheerful, kind, or serious and unapproachable.
Stop telling your boyfriend about every message or call that comes on your phone. Let it make him worry.

Advice from psychologists

Jealousy is a dangerous feeling. It is completely uncontrollable, like panic, like a nervous breakdown. Therefore, deliberately causing jealousy in a partner is an extremely unwise decision. This feeling is not creative. There is not a single example in which jealousy brought a couple closer together for life. Even from a medical point of view, jealousy is the cause of many health problems.

If we talk about male jealousy, we can highlight a number of negative consequences for the body:

Normal hormone production is disrupted. The resulting imbalance leads to improper functioning of the part of the brain responsible for appetite and satiety. This means that a constantly jealous man will quickly recover. Excess weight will not only cause damage to your appearance, but also a dangerous load on the heart, joints and blood vessels.
A feeling close to a state of severe stress leads to hypertension, which is dangerous not only for a person’s vascular system, but also for his life.
A man who is in a state of constant psychological shock is more susceptible than others to impotence, which, together with jealousy, can permanently lower self-esteem to the maximum and bring a man’s condition to deep depression.
Endless nervous excitability can ultimately lead to a man losing control of himself and committing an act of physical violence against the source of his torment.

Heart attack in a man

Psychologists say that the object of hatred and aggression in the case of female jealousy is the rival. A jealous woman will not throw her fists at her man; she will rather rush to beat his mistress. Male jealousy is entirely directed at the object of his close attention, as a result of which the partner herself risks suffering from uncontrollable anger.

If a couple has problems in their relationship, it would be a good idea to contact a specialist. Because the advice of a psychologist can help make your husband fall in love with you again by directing women’s entrepreneurship in a peaceful direction, instead of wasting it on destructive jealousy. Of course, you cannot force someone to love, but you can find the resources in yourself to achieve the desired goal by studying the psychological portrait of your partner.

How not to behave

The biggest mistake is to directly tell your husband about a lover who doesn’t exist.

It is unacceptable to make eyes at your chosen one's friends. In such a situation, you will sooner be left broke than to arouse jealous feelings in the guy.
When a woman wants to make her husband jealous, it is unacceptable to use abstinence from intimacy. In such a situation, the man will decide that you are refusing because you have sex on the side. There will be jealousy, but it will be destructive. Depending on your husband's temperament, you may also suffer physically.
Arrange a meeting with your ex to make your current partner jealous. Such an act will be regarded as a real betrayal and separation is inevitable.
Tell your beloved man that a lover has appeared. Even after you admit that it was a joke, it is unlikely that you will be able to restore your former trust.

When a woman does everything to make her lover jealous, she must take into account a sense of proportion. If you want to keep your partner, let him become a little jealous. If you want to lose him, let him become even more jealous.

Now you know why a woman makes a man jealous. As you can see, the goals of such behavior vary. And such an action is not always correct. Sometimes attempts to provoke a man can end very badly and lead to separation. It is important that the girl who decides on this method does not get too carried away and does not lose her love.
