OMG, I can't believe I'm jealous of a girl!!

This is just so weird that I had to post about it. Maybe I should’ve posted this in the men’s issues forum, but I'm hoping that someone here can help me possibly understand this cause it’s not making any sense to me.

So… I was watching this fashion tv show that was doing a feature on various models. And there was this one chick I saw who was so physically perfect, that I was actually jealous of her beauty! It’s as if I had a feeling of disgust towards her, and I have no clue why .

I mean, I'm a guy. My only thought when looking at this girl should have been about how badly I wanted to have sex with her. Don't get me wrong, I did eventually get to that thought... but my first and strongest feeling was one of jealousy towards her beauty. I was actually hating on her for being “too” perfect. I’m trying to understand why I would feel that way towards a girl? I’ve never looked at a guy and felt jealous of his looks (which would make much more sense to me), so why would I have that feeling towards a girl?

 

I hate people that are stereotypically "perfect" looking, but I despise stereotypical "perfection" too much to get jealous =P

I have been jealous of girls before, but only for a specific feature, and usually ones that are more androgynous...

 

maybe because you feel that feminine beauty is ultimately unattainable since you are male? just an idea, i'm not actually sure
i wouldn't lose sleep over it, though eace:

 

meh. i felt that about a guy i saw recently. it sorta throws in one's face one's own inadequacies and the unfairness of genetic fate.

 

I guess you just wish you were a girl. Mabey you should look into transexxualism.

 

this forum has the coolest background

 

See, that's interesting. You would think you would feel it towards someone of your own sex; not the opposite sex (I'm assuming you're female btw). That's what I find so strange about the whole thing.

Anyways, I think you may be right about the unfairness of genetic fate playing a major role. I know just how hard I have to work for the body I have right now. So it does kind of piss me off when I see people that don't have to do anything at all... yet still have a better body than me, despite all the hard work I put into staying fit.

 

I advise you to not make your girlfriend jealous of these exaggerated even Atvsd your relationship with friend

 

Read Phillip Roth's The Breast. Besides, being as good a book as any, there's a priceless passage where the narrator describes his envy toward his girlfriend's breast.
