He has made a variety of girls from his past jealous and it worked.

He triggered their competitive desire to win him over from those he was using as pawns to make them jealous.

All of a sudden, they were fighting for his attention and approval.

Making these women from his past jealous worked, and he is using that strategy on you with the same intent.

He wants you to want him more.

Thus far, he hasn’t been getting the kind of romantic response from you that he has been craving.

He has already tried a few of his seductive tricks on you to get you to want him more, but they haven’t worked.

Now, he is desperate.

He has chosen to go for the nuclear option.

He is intent on making you jealous.

Like previous girls before you, he is banking on this to get you to want him more.

It has worked on an assortment of girls from his past, and he is relying on it to work on you too.

For him to resort to this, it has gotten personal.

Yes, he is prideful.

All of the seductive tricks he uses on women typically work.

But they haven’t worked on you.

That is why he has gone for the nuclear option in using a strategy to make you jealous.

He does have egocentric tendencies, and a huge dose of self-importance.

Rather than accepting the reality that you haven’t been responding to his seductive tactics and moving on, he has taken it to heart.

You see, he doesn’t want you to win.

He doesn’t want to be left empty-handed.

He is so used to getting what he wants that the thought of you not giving him what he wants is insulting to him.

In going for the nuclear option by adopting the strategy to make you jealous, he is making a statement.

A statement that speaks to his hubris.

Basically, he wants to give you a degree of mental punishment and turmoil.

He wants you to see him with all these women that he is touting in front of you, and regret the fact that you weren’t responding to his earlier attempts to seduce you.

He doesn’t want you to win, and given that he is so used to getting his way with women, he can’t bear the thought that there is a woman in the world he lives in who isn’t falling for him.

Ergo, he does everything in his power to make you jealous.

His objective is twofold.

He wants you to want him more and he wants to punish you for putting him in a position where he had to adopt the nuclear option.

It does hurt his ego whenever he resorts to having to make a girl jealous to get her to want him more.

It means that his initial seductive tactics didn’t work on her, and now, he has gotten desperate enough to go with a strategy of making her jealous.

Being a prideful man who is used to getting what he wants, this is a painful blow.

Nevertheless, the punishment he thinks you are about to endure from it, by seeing him gallivanting with an array of women, does lessen the blow.
