One time I went to lunch with this cute guy, but it was a business lunch for my dad's business, not a date or anything like that.
He had a steady, so it was an all business hands off type of thing.
I guess his girlfriend was unaware of it, but somehow she heard about it right after and was thinking that he was starting an affair with me, and was all upset at him.
Another time my girlfriend, and I, were at a nightclub with a couple of guys, and then as we walked by, some girls started to bat their eyes at them and smile at them. Then one of them even made like a kiss with her lips when my guy, and her guy, looked over to see what we were noticing way before they did. We promptly grabbed them by the arm and marched them over to another area of the club. Do girls always notice this stuff before the guys do?
Well, anyway, I'm really not normally the jealous type but I think it was just instinctive behavior thinking that some other girl was going to try to go home with a guy that I came in with, which just wasn't going to happen, if you know what I mean. I 'm sure they were just feeling a little tipsy from a drink or two, but It made me upset, so I guess it would be called jealousy.
So, I saw this video on Youtube and it made me think of events that spark jealousy, and of my question.
YOU HAVE JUST GOT TO SEE THIS VIDEO COMMERCIAL! ... it's only like 15 seconds long.
I PROMISE YOU, THIS IS WAY TOO FUNNY! ... and listen to what the girl says at the end...
So have you ever gotten jealous for a reason that you later felt silly about, or ever seen it happen to anyone else?Who me... jealous? ... lol(Girl on right..."What the H**L is that bitch doing here?")
A. Yes, I have gotten jealous for stupid things before when it really wasn't warranted.
B. No, that has never happened to me but I have seen it happen to others
C. No, I have never witnessed anyone getting jealous before
D. OTHER, see my comments below, or just open the "Jealousy" survey

Are you the jealous type? ... Have you ever gotten jealous over a misunderstanding?
Too many picture examples! ... But anyway, I think it's natural to get jealous. Especially in the dating game. If you really want someone, you want to make sure that they like you back so that they can mate with you and vice versa as well (I think ESPECIALLY this!) . People are naturally territorial just like animals! We don't want to SHARE our house with others (usually), etc. Anyway, I hope you get what I mean!
Too much or unfounded jealous is definitely a problem. There might be an issue of DISTRUST in the relationship! However, if you find evidence of cheating, you will feel like you aren't good enough to the person. Especially if they life about it saying that "you're the only one for me" but they go behind your back and flirt with their female roommate while you're not even living together <--Lol, happend to me! Dating, just like most anything "worthy" in life, tends to elicit competition in others! Naturally, people want the BEST mate, the BEST house, the RICHEST anything, etc! The best looking children! Especially if they can help it! Who wouldn't want to get the BEST end of the stick instead of the shitty one! Also, if I allow myself to be disrespected like that again like what happend in my last relationship, then that just means that I am also disrespecting myself! ... With that relationship for example where I got cheated on. I had to accept it in the long run but it just made me angrier the more I thought about it! I ended up confronting him! I was afraid that I wasn't good enough to have children with and marry and surely it hurt! Like what was wrong with me? Was I not pretty enough? Was I too old for him but he didn't want to hurt my feelings? He was two years younger than me by the way. Just stuff like that! By the way, the woman he cheated on me with was SEVEN years younger than me so what was I supposed to think! To top it off, he flirted with her constantly! THEY WERE EVEN ROOMATES! WE DID NOT EVEN LIVE TOGETHER! This bitch was also very arrogant putting on a lot of make up and was being friendly in ways I did not like!
Also, if they love you, they respect you and will try not to elicit those type of feelings in you if they can help it! With feelings of jealousy there's usually a very good reason for it! Especially in my cases! There's a lot of good choices out there. That's why a lot of guys think that they can and have the power to chose the BEST and ONLY the best! It's a very shallow/superficial way of thinking but hey I cannot control others!
I relationship ALWAYS takes two willing parties to chose to love each other and be committed despite both people's imperfections. The hard (difficult) part is accepting those imperfections for the sake of the love you have for each other or the relationship you have with said person!
The last relationship before this last one, I was jealous that he already had experience a marriage and a baby (from his ex wife). I wanted to experience those things as well... with HIM only! But it was too late. I was VERY jealous that I became physically abusive towards him because I just couldn't take it! Needless to say, after a while, we did realize that we weren't meant to be because of my so called insecurities. However, if you think about it from my end, he had a lot of good qualities, but I let his bad ones, overcome the good ones and the relationship suffered as a result.
Nope. And I'm lucky that my partner isn't either. We always check people out together or tell the other to check someone out like, "wow look, she has really nice ass" or "look at him, he's so cute". Most of the time, I'm the one who does it, lol and he'd tell to stop staring at people so obviously. We work together, and he's close with a female colleague of ours and they'd talk or go for a run together sometimes and I don't get jealous at all. I'm not saying jealousy has never came up in our relationship, it has but once we talked to each other in a calm manner and approached the topic in a positive way, we've always managed to come to an understanding and assurance. I guess, trust, mutual understanding and communication plays a huge part in it.
I don't get jealous that much - I believe God's resources are infinite and nobody can prevent me from getting what I want unless God is choosing to withhold it for one reason or another. Maybe I can't get the exact guy I want - but I can always get somebody who resembles the guy I want.
I stopped by to see a particular woman I had been dating for a short time at her job. Her boss said she was across the street in a bar. When I went in, I saw her dancing to music and some guy was dancing with her (not touching) and flirting. He kept repeating some stupid song lyric "Whoops there it is!" at the top of his lungs. My girlfriend the guy were obviously regulars. She was kind of drunk and he was really drunk. Anyway, I got kind of angry. I didn't yell or cause a scene or anything. I think all I did was go to her and ask her to leave. She got the message from my body language that I was jealous. She did come with me and we later wound up moving in together for over a year. She rocked my world. Also, she never gave me cause to be jealous again.
I would never spy on a partner or monitor their movements. I'm not a stalker or a controller. But if I was in a relationship with someone and found evidence that they were cheating, I would confront them. If they were indeed cheating, I would consider them to be dishonest and I would I would leave them. I only like monogamous relationships.
I am the jealous type but I only get jealous when my girlfriend is talking to a guy I know for a fact does not have a gf/bf but if I know they have a gf/bf I am okay with it... Does that make me sound like an ass
Yes a little jealousy is a good thing considering it shows you really care for your partner , top much jealousy is a bad sign considering it shows u dont really trust your partner which is a turn off considering overly jealous people are usually the ones that cheat , but everyone has insecurities whether they say they do or not , when we are really into someone we want them to feel like we feel so when we see r partner checking out someone else ate instincts kick in and we say oh hell no this is my partner , and Yes Girls notice this way more then guys do considering it's very hard for a guy to know if a girl likes him or checking him out Girls can see that shit Miles away where the guy is clueless , , My ex used to say i see you checking out that girl i would say Huh, where , la she hot? Then i say you need to point out there Girls faster for me so i dont miss them. I remember we would get home and she rip my clothes off to have sex and I thought whatever works i will drive by hot Girls all the time with her if that is the case. So Yes a little jealousy is ok but over jealous is a turn off , crazy how that is
I have gotten a slight glimmer of what's Jelously when it seems like a lady I like is being chat up by someone else. But it's a slight glimpse of an emotion that comes and quickly goes.
Men! All seem to be Jelous of me for no reason and it causes me all sorts of issues in the work place and out. They take every opportunity they get to talk bad about me, make up stories about my true intentions and just go out of their way to pull me down. I'm not sure why, I think maybe they can't cope with my being, I'm someone who doesn't see social barriers and just me no matter what or who is around. I talk to hot women the same I do the CEO, cleaners or guy begging for money. I think men see that behavior and just want to bring me down. I don't know, but I 100% attract Jelous men into my life who attempt to sabotage everything I have and create silly little compitions in their own heads. They always lose when they realise I wasn't playing a game and it's just who I am as a person 👌
Like loneliness, Jelously can be overcome too. Its a temporary desire that wears off when you realise your own self worth.
I see jealousy as hating someone for having something you don't. Rather than the scenario you mentioned above.
I am not the jealous type. But I am the type that is very emotional and sensitive and doesn't want to be hurt let alone hurt other people. I think about how my actions affect other people, but its sadly other people who often don't think how their actions affect me. Since I have never been in a relationship, I cannot speak on it. However, I would NOT want to be with a person who is easily jealous or is the jealous type. And I have seen such things happen to people around me. It's not a healthy or good thing. You may not always control how you feel, but you ARE and CAN be responsible for how you choose to react. If you know you hurt your partner, say your sorry and stop doing those things. If you think your partners insecurities and concern is silly, then please do them and yourself a favor and end the relationship. But that's not love or healthy.
Not me, but I had a jealous boyfriend who became even more jealous after I moved for a job, he'd always think that I'm seeing someone and couldn't go anywhere without letting him know, he was even suspecting that I was turning gay on him. I told him that he needed to cut it out or I'd leave him, and I think we know how that ended.
I used to get jealous a lot. It is frustrating and annoying and draining. Now I know that I deserve someone that actually won't let me get jealous. Someone who acts like a decent human being and appreciate our bond and relationship. Someone who would walk away instead of cheating. Someone I can trust even when they are far away from me. Someone who would think about me when I am not with them and act according to this by respecting our loyalty to each other. That someone does not exist in this day and age.
One guy tried to kill me once because i was having a private conversation with the girl i was hooking up with, she had said no multiple times to him, but he didn't know what we did, so he probably assumed the worst and just went straight for me. He was trying to choke me while sitting on top of me, i kept asking him why he attacked me, while telling the girl to go get a guard. But just before the guards came he just stopped, didn't say a word and left. Thats the worst thing I've experienced. But similar things have happened quite a few times. Needless to say me and her didn't happen hehe
I can be. Yes, but only and only to the one i care about and NOT just to someone i go on a date with. I only want her to myself and myself only, but when i see her talk or chat online with other guys who mostly (not all, but most) have only one intension in mind (which is to get sexual with her) it bothers me so much. Please note that i believe cheating is NOT necessarily just them having sex with each other (the girl i care about and the guys she chats with), i also believe it can be on their minds and they can talk sexual together and get off. Having another man get off by talking to the girl i care about is an absolute no-no to me
Yeah, I think women are generally more socially aware. And more perceptive. Guys are usually a lot more dumb socially. I notice all that shit, though. And when she starts mate-guarding. I eat that shit up. That means I'm doing my job correctly.
I don’t think it’s possible for anyone to not get jealous at some point in life. I usually go into a relationship knowing the guy is going to cheat and once I find out, I’m out. Sometimes the guy doesn’t cheat and then I’m pleasantly surprised and it works out. That doesn’t mean I expect him to cheat, I’m just not surprised anymore
My definition of "relationship" is very different from yours.
To me, the only demonstration of a committed relationship is when I put a ring on her finger and she says "yes". (Thereafter "cheat" becomes meaningful.)
But before that, I usually voice out the "no commitment" clause and made a verbal "exit clause".
This means there is no such thing as "cheating". We just need to be honest, tell and then breaks as sexual partners, but still remain as friends.
Maybe I'm a guy such an arrangement is easy for me to fulfill. Not sure in general how a girl would take it.
I have never got jealous over a misunderstanding. Most of the time my jealousy was justified by the fact that my ex was fucking other girls. The other guys were all fuckboys who were fucking other girls. I am happy being single now because it means I don't have to deal with all this nonsense. :)
I think I'm too self-absorbed to be jealous. I think my ego believes its choices, including my partner selection, are so infallible that it won't even accept the possibility that I have chosen to be with a flawed person.
Two of my old friends always and I mean always had jealous fights, like one time I was drying one hair I said it reminds me of helping my little sister she replied thanks I wanted it more towel dried for tonight rather than straightened, the next minute oh I could have done that, you never mentioned you wanted help with your hair why didn't you ask me and time and time again week there things like this
I like to think that I'm not, but I'm definitely the jealous type. I don't get randomly jealous. I'm pretty rational when it comes to things. However, when I really care about someone my feelings tend to cloud my judgment. I won't make a scene but, in private I will definitely have a conversation with the person.
I never get jealous; I am a walker. I simply know that everyone’s life is very temporary and that they may be on top of the world for the moment but that always changes. Possessing a coveted corporeality is fleeting. The moment I sense over-extent, I punt for another day. I will not work for it.
Unless I have proof my S/O is cheating I do not get jealous. However, I do get protective. Jealousy means you have some doubt in your S/O whereas being protective is just simply staking your claim and letting the world know he/she is taken. The line of jealousy/protective is crossed when you doubt your partner's faithfulness.
I get used to get very jealous very easily. And at one point it almost ended my relationship, because i was so insecure and had no trust. And I would get super mad and jealous over the smallest things. I've gotten a lot better though.
I still get jealous and insecure sometimes but i've learned to take a deep breath and calm down and realized i'm being dramatic over something so small
i know how you feel me and my friend we were on a date then she said she had to use the bathroom (FYI) we are a couple) anyways she went it was about 15-30 min and i went to check on her and she was making out with ANOTHER GIRL
I'm jealous with the right people. Some people don't deserve it 😂 That being said when a man is mine, he is mine. I don't get jealous from mistrust, but from another girl having the audacity to smile, look, touch him.
Some people can manage jealousy better than others it affects grown ups and adults, especially when it comes to working so hard for success but others are more successful with less work.
Relationship wise, i dont get jealous, EXCEPT if there is major flirting right in front of me. A minor teasing joke or two is a different story alltogether, but if I am present and it continues, then there is an issue.
