Do girls in general like jealous guys?

Question

I mean dudes who text a girl asking what they're doing, who they're with all the time, asking who they're texting etc. Do girls like that or is that a turnoff?

Jealousy is natural in everyone. It feels good when your boyfriend gets a little jealous. Not to the point that he feels he has anything to worry about just a little dose. Like we're at a club and I'm dancing with my girlfriends and he noticed guy/s checking me out and doesn't like it so he comes over to claim me in front of them.
But not trusting is different than being jealous. You listed a boyfriend that has no trust in his girl. That's an issue that will cause many problems. I'm not secretive. I'll always tell my guy where I'm at who I'm with probably without him even asking but if I feel like I'm being hounded then I'll get over him real fast.

Personally, I think it is a turnoff to an extinct. There is a difference between jealousy and possessiveness. My boyfriend does this and I hate constantly having to assure him that I'm being faithful or having to explain EVERY detail of a person I communicate with.

I can't talk for all the girls, but I personally do like jealous guys... I really like them a lot for some reason haha BUUUT too much of anything is bad... If he's the kind of guy who won't let you go out or talk to any guy, it becomes slightly suffocating.

That is a pathetic guy. it is someone the woman should stay away from. anyone that insecure in the relationship is going to be nothing but a problem. neither person is the others keeper. If the relationship is such that either has to worry about the other cheating, they should go their separate ways. jealousy is a really destructive thing in any relationship.

Girls absolutely HATE this.   They're not jealous, they're insurecure, clingy and needy. Everyone hates those kind of people.

bang678 · Answer

That's more than jealously. It's okay if my partner is jealous as long as they realize that their jealousy is silly and that they have nothing to worry about and they shouldn't expect me to change my circle of friends or who i talk to. It shows that they trust me

I don't mind being asked thoes questions but when it's in a parental or jealous way I'd get pissed. in the very beginning of talking to someone I make it clear that I am friends with males and do not want to be with someone who is not okay with that. If they tell me what I want to hear and then get mad when I go out with my dudes can end things pretty quickly.

It depends. Sometimes it's flattering that a guy could think that everyone wants to steal you away from him.
But I hated when my parents did it all the time just like I would hate it if a boyfriend did that.
My advice: if she feels you are being possessive or is annoyed, keep some distance.

pretty_panda · Answer

in my opinion - girls hate it. i know i do.
a little bit of jealousy once in a while is sweet because it shows he really cares about her. but when it constant 21 questions on what she's doing and who with etc - its WAY annoying. don't be THAT guy

BumbleSuperBee · Answer

That would be just annoying..
We like jealous guys as in guys who appear to watch u all the time when ur talking to a guy for instance, but not those who suffocate u by asking a lot of questions. (supposing ur a girl lol)

GingerBear · Answer

God no, that is one the single most annoying things a guy can do, and a surefire way to get me to break up with him.
I'm a very independent person, and having someone keeping tabs on me like that, it would drive me crazy.

charades · Answer

I can only speak for me, but jealousy is a dealbreaker. I'm not my boyfriend's property, and if he can't imagine that I'm just trustworthy, it would make me wonder if it's because he doesn't think anyone (including himself) is.

MeghanL · Answer

I find it something of a turn-off. I'm a person, not someone's property.

My boyfriend & I know who we are, we know what our relationship is about, & we trust each other. We don't need to be monitoring each other 24/7.

Adrianaxo · Answer

No i don't like that at all, some girls might find it "cute" or whatever but in my opinion that's way too much, asking what they're doing is fine but asking who they're with all the time and who they're talking too is a bit extreme for me

Darkanddangerouslove · Answer

I am okay with my boyfriend getting jealous about other guys flirting with me. I think its cute and personally I feel like he actually cares, like I wouldn't want to share him with anyone else lol. But being bombarded with questions is downright annoying and I'd probably turn my phone off at that instant.

Smile24-7 · Answer

If he texted me about who I am with and what I am doing often then it gets annoying. I personally like jealous guys who kinda act a but protective when I am around another guy.

andreagbee · Answer

Okay a small amount of possessiveness is nice, it shows that he wants you and cares for you. But too much would be treating as an object instead of an actual person.

CallMeFea · Answer

I do not like a jealous man. Its really a turn off because once your jealous you can start to have trust issues

thera · Answer

No. That's annoying. I'm texting yo mama. Dont ask me something like that more than once in the span of 10 or 20 minutes.

Glue-Sniffer · Answer

It's a major red flag and annoying. It's only good in romance novels and movies... But in real life NO

Lady7 · Answer

Erm no? Being jealous is okay but what you're describing is being fckn clingy and that ain't cool

Jxpxtxr · Answer

Not at all that would be such a turn off and even a reason to break up for me if it gets really bad

Casper286 · Answer

To be completely homest, I find that extremely annoying.
