Why some women get upset when they know that their admirer (who might even got rejected) is dating someone else?

Maybe because people want what they can't have. You look more desirable if you're already taken.

Probably because while they may have zilch interest, having someone who fancies them boosts their confidence, and makes them feel good/better about themselves. They like the attention

In the worst (bitchiest) case scenario I think she just wants to ruin their relationship by pretending to be interested in the guy who first approached her so the other girl gets jealous and dumps him.

In your specific example it could be lack of confidence in themselves or according to a podcast I listened to which is actually backed up by research, females apparently like to have brain space of another, especially in relationships, so it may be something related to that.

I had a similar scenario pop up in the last year that made me question if someone was trying to break me up.

I dated a girl before taking a vacation to South America (18 months ago). I became aware a week before the trip that the ex was lurking in the background. We spend time together the night before I travel and she dumps me the next day. Obviously she went back to her ex and I found out when I got back. She did complain on a few occasions afterwards that she wasn't happy with how her bf treats her, and that usually ended up being the only times she would contact me (initiating to be specific). She eventually dumped him, but not sure if she ever went back. We started talking like normal friends about two weeks before I met my gf though.

We talked a couple times after I met my gf and I remember telling her about it. I remember telling her when I was going to have my first date and she told me that she was happy for me. She even asked me how the date went the next day. Then about another day goes by and she texts me in the wee hours of the morning. I read it when I wake up, but don't respond to it until after work. She was fine then when i texted her back, but indicated to me that she was looking for someone to talk to the night before because it was the ex's birthday and she was a little sad about it. A couple questions and she is fine and talking about my gf results in silence on her end. We haven't really communicated since.

There is a part of me that believes that this was an attempt to lure me away from my gf. I wonder what would have her believe that I would be convinced considering I was "not BF material" in her opinion.

Yeah that´s pretty pathetic. Especially the ugly thing; like being prettier makes her a better girlfriend. Didn't think so.

Yes, my first reaction was "it's not all about looks" that was before showing me her pics.

And when she showed me their fb together I was "aww they are so cute toghether".

Her complaining was based on the idea that the guy told her he loves her and she can't compute the idea how he switched his love that quickly.

I was like "You rejected him, so why he should keep loving you?".

Then she complained of remaining single and not finding anyone - and I was like " You wouldn't be single now if you weren't that picky and selfish" (she rejected dozens of guys before for silly and nonsense reasons).

At this level she was about to kill me- I am a very very bad choice for sugar-coating :lol:

In fact yes, this one was like "They won't stay together anyway!" and I was like "forget it, he gave you a chance, you missed it".
Man, she was boiling.


But it's not this case that made to make this thread.

Women, what a weird gender.

Why do you keep hanging out with shallow uninteresting women, Boo? You need to be looking for wierdos like yourself who will talk bluntly and make fun of those types of women with you.

Otherwise I would be so lonely. :(

Anyway I barely know her.

And btw, not all weirdoes are good and non-shallow.
