From experience women are more jealous, they just tend to be very late in doing so. Guys usually get jealous right away depending on the insecurities combined with any of the girls insecurities they might have. Girls are used to getting the attention and depending on if there insecurities are great will they acknowledge any attention they keep getting which then triggers the guys jealousy which gets the spot light rather then the issue being what caused the jealousy. A beautiful girl who gets attention and then having a guy not give her the same attention that they expect to get becomes an issue in which they usually try to prove the guy wrong by showing how much more attention they can get from everywhere else and in reality only proves they guy right. Then they do the jealousy thing when that didn't work and 9 times out of 10 they'll get what they want cuz the ridiculous beauty they have that is impossible to get past. Do it 1x though and as the guy you realize your value is limitless with the ability to make a girl experience one time what some guys have to deal with every girl they ever been with. It's not something you wanna do in spite or as a game but sometimes you as a man gotta believe in yourself and know you can give any women you come across with the value within them that they are but women who think they can go and give value to several guys by sitting in there lap and flirting shouldn't be worth your time if your into the romantic relationship cuz the romance won't be there compared to if she used her flirting for one guy which is where a guy gets some value from them. They can still be incredible females to be around and very special for who they are but romance is not ideal with her which if she's the first to say it she would say herself. Be the one who says no to something and you will see who they are and who they always been even though she's worth the risk, she ends up showing that you were never the risk. Once you know you are worth the risk it's hard to find any women who will take that risk. Of course I can throw in why and all the bullshit they get put through by the fucking idiots of every other guy in the past but if there blind to you and by there past that needs to be on them and they need to he held accountable for the next guy to have a fair chance. Then block them and hide. Dont know if it made sense but oh well.

I think women are more jealous when it comes to relationships because they focus on relationships more. A guy should generally be able to distract himself with work of other guy friends, but a woman cares deeply about her relationship with her man, more than most anything. Only children usually get priority over the man. That's when he often gets jealous.

It's probably equal. But Personally and Professionally I've seen more Jealous Men it's probably because Men Express their Jealousy more and women tend to let it Stew inside until it Explodes!! Those are tge Women you hear about tgat sliced someone's tires or stabbed someone they let it Stew... Personally I've seen more Men Jealous and show it in a Negative way than Women most of the Women are dealing with the Jealousy from their Man!!!

I say pretty equal when it comes to dating and relationships. It's more of a personality thing than a gender thing. However, I think girls get jealous of each other more easily.

Colla · Answer

Well for starters men can also get jealous. But I don't know some may disagree with me but I've found that women gets jealous a lot easier than guys. Women are more image driven than men. They always worry about their image. Whose prettier, smart, cuter, popular and the list goes on and on. AND let's face it we all have insecurities of some kind. Like maybe our weight or our hair teeth or nose or something is imperfect. We are just way more sensitive than guys. Which makes us feel insecure quite often.

There may or may not be a general difference between the two, I don't know. I think personal experience tends to be coloured a lot by confirmation bias and so lean towards stereotypes.

Either way though, I think even if there is an average difference between the two, the difference between individuals is far bigger. I've known jealous men, I've known non-jealous men. I've know jealous women, I've known less jealous women. So really, I think it's mostly dependent on the individual and then maybe a little bit on gender.

I think men are way more jealous. I'm surprised by the results.  I have seen cases where men were jealous for no apparent reason. I haven't seen woman who were jealous for no reason.

Who wants us to give them our passwords to our phones and sometimes even accounts?
Who gets mad, that we send a like to a random girl on instagram?
Who has problems with us when we watch porn and have 10 gigabytes of it on our hard drives?
Who gets mad at us when we stare at a random woman for longer than 15 or even just 5 seconds?
Who gives us the silent treatment when we are busy at work, university ETC... and doesn't see us being online because of it?

Quinoa629 · Answer

Definitely depends! Depends on how secure you feel in the relationship, previous relationships, you're view of others relationships, comments or opinions of others around you. The possible factors are endless.

yellowochre · Answer

Mostly depends on the level of commitment and invested time in the relationship. Sometimes men and us women try to own/objectify the partner and thats when jealousy pops its head

pinkmood · Answer

Definitely women, but if a man is jealous it becomes more scary

Stonernights · Answer

Equal. Men show it differently much more rational and hopeful you will pick them. Women feel you have already made up your mind that you dont want to be with them and show hurt.

Women. A black woman would get jealous if another nappy headed black hoe has a white boyfriend. It's like they think a white skinned boyfriend is gold
