So you think all women with boyfriends get jealous when another woman is talking to another guy? I mean - the scenario doesn't even make sense to me. Why the hell would I care who some other woman is talking to? So - yeah - this isn't "female" jealousy - this is just a jealous person. Not all women are the same.

She sounds jealous and controlling. She sounds neurotic.

Probably a gal can still get jealous over another gal taking to another guy because she's attracted to the guy no different than even if a guy has a steady girlfriend he can still in a single day fantasize about busting a nut in many gals.

In my opinion it's a bit illogical to assume a gal is satisfied with her lot in life considering statistics show most gals are unhappy in relationships and divorce is often initiated by gals. In my experience most gals are content with their boyfriend they're definitely not satisfied.

what i am trying to say is that one would think that a girl who has a steady partner would not care about anyone else cause it is assumed she is satisfied with her lot in life.

ive seen this at work where a girl with a steady partner "hates" another girl cause she's talking to another guy, even if the hated girl doesn't even have a steady partner or not as 'together" as the jealous girl

i guess it just is what it is??
I'd say that this "girl" has a thing for the guy at work independent of her relationship status. There's no other reason to get jealous.

Ditto. I'm a woman and have never done this, nor have I ever seen any other woman do this.

Either this woman has such low self esteem that she needs to be the center of all male attention to feel good about herself or she secretly has a crush on the guy in question, regardless of being in a relationship with another guy.

My guess is the former - must be the center of attention. There are people of both sexes who are like this. Men show it by strutting around with their chests out and bragging. Women show it by complaining loudly, wearing immodest and/or attention-grabbing clothing, causing commotions, and claiming ownership of powerful men and going all alpha on other women to defend their "turf.". It has nothing to do with romantic interest in the men. It's about attention and perceiving themselves as "top dog.". Yes, it happens in offices.

It's called hater.

Usually, a jealous person feels inadequate about themselves somehow, despite always appearing to have the 'upper-hand' and constantly wanting to maintain it.

I call this kind of behavior- oneupmanship.

Some women have a vain, queen-bee attitude where they must be the prettiest and most desirable of any group of women. Rivals are put down or sabotaged. The jealous one at work may be that type.

In general terms, most women are jealous, insecure and vain. Just saying.
