Why do men hate a man when he gets into a relationship with a hot woman?
I have seen this many times, and it's not culturally related.
I know envy is part of human nature, but really, why does this happen?
Discussion
Jealously and loss.
They lose their friend to their women. Some men can’t handle being alone.
That's a good point. Jealousy and the sense of loss definitely play a role. When a friend gets into a relationship, some men struggle with the idea of losing their friend to the new relationship. They might feel left out or lonely, especially if they have difficulty handling being alone.
Either way is childish imo
Sometimes we hate the mirror because it reflects something we don't want to see, or that we miss. Could be probably subconscous projected hate for themselves..
That's insightful. It makes sense that the hate could come from seeing qualities or situations they desire for themselves but lack. This subconscious projection can certainly create feelings of envy and resentment, making it more about their own insecurities than the other person's actions.
Indeed, you expressed with perfect words what I wanted to say. Yes I do believe it's more about own insecurities than pure resentment for the other person.
Personally I have felt something similar in the past when I did see a very beautiful woman with an ugly guy or very old man. First thought would be, he is probably rich, that's the reason.. I mean sometime that's actually the reason, but of course much easier to think that instead of exploring your lacks and missings.
Men are competitive with each other over women, so usually it comes from a man who was outcompeted in the sexual marketplace and is envious about it. Same is true of women to be honest and I’d say women are generally worse.
I've noticed this competitive behavior less in women. Instead, it seems more common when a woman gets into a relationship with a man who has status or provides well for her, rather than being focused on his looks. Women often envy the security and lifestyle provided by such a partner.
Yes men value beauty and women value money, security, lifestyle etc…
Different triggers for the same envious behavior.
