Question

Which one is more dangerous when the become jealous???

CrazyGirl2 · Accepted Answer

It is much more dangerous for women if their male partner is jealous! Heterosexual men are undeniably more aggressive than, stronger than, and commit domestic violence at a FAR greater rate, than by heterosexual women. Further, even if an average woman is physically violent towards her male partner, he is FAR less likely to suffer death or major injury as a result of that domestic violence than is a woman at the hands of a jealous man.
That being said, the #1 demographic for the incidence of domestic violence is Lesbians! And further, we need to “equalize” the laws, because men ARE abused by women, and when they are they are less likely to be taken seriously by police, and the legal system, which is rightfully outraged when they see a male defendant accused of beating a woman, but sadly all too quiet when men are the victims!
all one need do is review the facts of the Johnny Depp/Amber Heard trial. When he was accused without any evidence, barring a dubious “miraculously healing” bruise on AH’s face, his career was OVER! Yet when audio tapped confessions of AH taunting Depp over what would happen if he even tried to claim the truth about his abusive wife calling him a “pussy” for even complaining about the abuse… Warner Bros. merely reduced her roll in Aqua man, and NO major corporations publicly fired AH immediately the way 20th Century Fox and Disney did with Depp!
So, while society and the justice system have a long way to go before parity is reached in the way the sexes are treated after abuse is revealed, that does not change the fact that women are in far worse danger of death and serious bodily harm from an abusive jealous male spouse or partner than men are from abusive female partners.

I dont believe it depends on gender. It depends on who can control their emotions and thoughts.

Most people, if not everyone, can feel jealous if certain situations triggers it.

Jealousy only becomes an issue if a person can't control their emotions. They can resort to harmful and hateful behavior to someone if they allow jealousy to consume them.

Jealousy can lead to anger and violence if a person is unable to regulate their emotions. So if a man can and a woman can't, then her jealousy is worse. And vice versa.

Women get more leeway in society to express their jealousy. Years ago my former overweight female roommate (who I subleased from) kicked me out after living in the place that I was I for over three years. Reason why? I started steadily dating a skinny pretty young woman she was deeply jealous of. She was never nice to her and I only had her over once a week tops.

One night while watching a movie with my girlfriend (and I gave her and my other roommate a heads up we would be over). My female roommate came home, walked out to the living room and then walked back/slammed the door when she saw me girlfriend just cuddling with me on the sofa (we weren’t having sex).

Just imagine if a man acted that way if he was jealous his female roommate had a guy over (and she always respectfully texted everyone in advance he was coming by). Really what man could get away with acting that so obviously jealous? He would look beyond pathetic.

Men definitely get jealous. We feel the exact same emotions women do. But society gives us zero leeway or consolation if we show it. This leads men to internalizing it and unfortunately a few of them can get dangerous, stalkerish and violent when that happens. They don’t know how else to deal with it.

More often men will often look for ways to compete and/or indirectly disparage the guy they are jealous of. But again both men and especially women mock men who openly show jealousy. Where a woman’s gets more sympathy because of her “poor emotional feelings” she supposedly has no control over.

30 or so years ago I would have said it is the same. The source is still the same. I have seen many women get by with things like trespassing and criminal damage to property in the nation's courts. I once saw the same judge give a woman time served no probation and only had to make restitution for a 1st offense when she keyed an expensive car. This same judge then sent a guy to jail for almost 2 weeks, fined him $500 PLUS court costs AND restitution for knocking his wife's APs side window out. I owned that car and she did a bit over $10,000 worth of damage to my car. That side window labor included could not have been more than $250 to fix. I know a business that is operated by a now-divorced man that can't keep his ex out of it. The restraining order is worthless because the Judge won't enforce it. Yet, if the situation was reversed that man would be serving time by now. Now, I am talking about vindictive actions based on someone being jealous. There are some exceptions, but generally speaking females in the US are not held accountable and I will NOT be politically correct and say otherwise. If my words offend then you will just have to be offended!

Chazmatazz269 · Answer

Women, for sure. They aren’t held accountable for physical and emotional abuse against men, even when they kill them. Thanks to “no fault” divorce, they don’t have to prove he’s cheating to divorce him and take everything in the divorce, including his children, and completely ruin his life. Even if she doesn’t outright murder him, it’s easy as pie to drive him to suicide and nobody cares.

The woman no question! Take a look at the women's prison population. The majority of women in prison are there for crimes of passion. Ever heard the saying, " hell hath no fury like a woman scorned"? And with the most unbalanced women a guy doesn't even have to do anything to make her jealous she just has to perceive any action of it. I know of a woman in prison right now for trying to burn down the house of her ex with his new girlfriend in it. Simply because she couldn't let go that it was over.

virtue2332 · Answer

Jelousy is a normal emotion to feel at times. The danger comes when you let it control your actions or let it consume your logic or self worth. Its a cancer of emotion and will ruin a relationship if not kept in check. Its an emotion that the person who feels jelous has to fix because its thier issue not anyone elses.

MrNameless · Answer

You can say men commit more violent crimes... But when it comes down to it, it's based on the individual. Is the person spiteful, not level-headed/neurotic, and has a violent/sociopathic history? It's not just physical harm, but emotional harm as well.

OfMiceandMen · Answer

I may get shot down for this, but, here it goes...

I think women become jealous more easily because they tend to be more sensitive about their man and other women. They also tend to be relationship thinkers whereas guys sometimes need kick to remember they're in a relationship.

Guys tend to be pretty chill and not let there minds head down the jealousy road, unless there are some pretty big signs, like your woman tends to give every guy she comes across a lap dance.

Msputiton · Answer

I don't think it matters gender.

rienna888 · Answer

Although, women can be vicious when jealous because I know I am. Sometimes I think of the worse things to do in a relationship when i'm jealous. But men are physically stronger, so their partner is more likely to get hurt or die if the man has no self-control.

TJ1892 · Answer

I would not say either is any worse, jealous is never a good recipe especially in a relationship its like cooking a mac and cheese with the mac or cheese, it's only going to lead to conflict and tension. Which in the long one causes divide and you to potentially drift apart. It happens on both sides, neither is good.

But I'd also add on to that, a partner should NEVER give their other half any reason to be jealous or untrusting of the other👌

Filthy_Immigrant · Answer

judging from my experiences WOMEN all the way, especially if you live in a feminized country where women can do whatever the fuck they want when they want at not only will they get away with it but will get SUPPORT as well. and dont get me started on how the justice system doesn't help out at all in most of these nations, like women getting shorter sentence than men for committing the same crime just to start

Beardedman1996 · Answer

Crazy thing is I personally have heard more crazy and violent jealousy stories from men, women hide their affairs or as will smiths wife would put it, “entanglements” a lot better, it’s not that the jealousy is unwarranted on either end it’s just women are more likely to the signs and become jealous because they know what other women are gunna do if they get the chance

bamesjond0069 · Answer

How is it "dangerous"? Like they will shoot you or stab you? I mean then it would have to be the man because we have more physicality at our disposal to hurt someone with. Although I think a woman is more likely to use a weapon. So I don't know now. Ha.

The_Shadow_Dweller · Answer

I think it depends on the personality of that person. Some are forgiving, some are not. Some treat it as a memory, some treat the same memory as a means to fuel the vindictive energy. Everybody is different.

KarinMcDonald · Answer

I think that it's more dangerous for a man to be jealous since they are physically stronger than us. But I also believe that women should have more rights than men when it comes to things that make the other one jealous.

Jaximus-Lion · Answer

Both! Stupidly dangerous. A mild jealousy, maybe good to show affection to keep the partner busy, that BS you know. In general, jealousy destroys more than people imagine but no one would admit it.

CupcakeTheDestroyer · Answer

When a jealous woman wants to control her man, it's dangerous but nothing life-threatening.
When a jealous man wants to control his woman, he will kill her so no one else can have her if she won't listen to him.

Dangerous as in violence? I think that's more of who is a psycho and who isn't rather than gender.

LiamJHayden · Answer

It depends upon the psychological makeup of the individual. Some jealous people get sad and "Woe is me." Others look for ways to undermine the other. Some lose it and harm the other or themselves.

BubbaTech · Answer

It isn't the jealousy that is dangerous, it is how far a person can go to stop the situation that triggered it. The dangerous thing is acting out violently, and if a person is capable of doing violent things, it has nothing to do with their gender.

RavVid · Answer

I presume we are talking of sexual jealousy. Women can be violent but I would be incline to think a man would be more dangerous on average.

Yet another proof that gender is not a social construct. Men are stronger and capable of more, so they have to learn to control themselves better.

Dangerous as in killing? Women are in danger of that 99,9% of the time. Period.

Dangerous as in domestic abuse? Recent studies suggest both genders can be violent or verbally abusive. Men probably more physically.
