I don't know, I don't get jealous. If I'm with a woman, I *know* she's staying with me. If she doesn't, she doesn't.

We all have a little bit in us no matter what and if you didn't you really don't care about that person. The fear of losing that loved one to someone else is natural.

OP: Jealousy is something a person grows out of. Sure in our youth we saw the green eyed monster (as you do now) on more than one or two occassions. After a while we learn how to handle that monster. It's called 'walking away'.
I don't have time in my life for jealous people, it's a waste of energy. If the person i am with feels they cannot trust me then they have insecurity issues to deal with.
People look at people all the time, it's a natural thing, but it doesn't mean they are going to run off with them. Jealousy is just another word for insecurity.

In some cases jealousy may signal insecurity, but most times jealousy is triggered from your partner showing more affection or interest in someone else (opposite sex). My ex girlfriend swore nothing was going on. Just friends she said. Hah! Turned out everyone else was seeing it too. Yeah, I felt the twinges of jealousy. Not over the top, but it is a human emotion we have that guides our senses. Being in control of oneself is key.

[QUOTE]Ok I this is my first thread that I have posted so people please be kind to me. Many guys say that they don't get jealous but I highly dought that. I think, everyone gets a little jealous once in a while. So I am just curious to see how many guys out there actually get jealous and what triggers you to be jealous.[/QUOTE]

Jealousy is a feeling, so absolutly everyone gets jealous once in awhile. some more then others...
When it comes to relationships though...
I think that if you truly love someone, you dont want to see them being jealous.

A lack of reason and discipline. Our self respect. Our aversion to pursuing accountability. Our immaturely self absorped delusion....

I get jealous.

Its stuff I can joke about with my partner, we laugh about it, and thats that.

Some things though, its not jealousy, its just flat out ridiculous. Example....why would you have another guy pick you up from work, if you knew I was going to?

"Are you jealous??"

"Sweety, I'm not jealous, I'm pissed."

I take it you've been cheated on. That's unfortunate if so. Cheating is unacceptable. However, once it happens -- I personally have no emotional attachment. Then again most people can't detach like that. I don't expect much from people, and what little I do respect -- if violated, I easily cut them off with no remorse. I'm ruthless in holding fast to this. I sure would be entertained though if I walked in on it. To me it would be astounding to think a mate would be so foolish as to think they could successful do it without me knowing.

Once again, unfortunately you are being inconsiderate. I have not been cheated on; there's a simple feeling of sympathy, something of which it appears you lack. I'm certain even YOU have an emotion or two inside of you that's positive...don't be so condescending. Additionally to this, if you really feel the way you say you do as quoted above, I sincerely suggest you re-word that profile of yours. My curiosity got the better of me, however I did get a good laugh out of how contradicting it is as compared to your posts...very amusing =).

Ouch, it appears we won't be able to reconcile this. I thought I was being very respectful, but if you feel otherwise, and I did my best -- then we can't go further.

The only thing that will get me jealous is when the girl I am with makes out with a guy in front of me ... even if she and her bud hang out and get a little close does not phase me until evidence is seen , the last time it was kissing in front of me , that sucked ,

We are good friends now

"Same thing with jealousy, if a woman flirts with another guy in front of you, if you do react A) you are trying to control her or if you don't react you are B) not the kind of person who really cares about her to stop it"

Mr Geko,

You are assuming that jealousy is about a woman/man trying to make their partner jealous (actually many of the posters are assuming this)... Hmm, this is interesting: so, we are going back to the "there is no smoke without fire" thing, i.e. If I feel jealousy, there must be something going on.

How about the situations where the object of jealousy didn't do a thing: for example, my friend's husband yells at her because he saw a man ask her for directions in the street; or my dad's partner who threw a tantrum because she saw him talk to the neighbor (now, guys, I know both of these people; they didn't do a thing, they were just being courteous and polite..What is even sadder, both of theese people's respective jealousies are turning the relationships into living hell (I would have left eons ago, in both cases, if I were my in my Dad's or grilfriends place) So, please, don't think of all of this as manipulation... (and honestly, I don't quite get it how it is OK in the dating stage either: so it is OK to manipulate somebody before we get to "ensnare" them in a relationship, but it is not OK to use this supposedly "wonderful" tool later on? I am confused... Anyhoo, I wouldn't really want to be with anybody who need all this histrionics to get my attention : they can continue being "hot" or popular" with out me.

I think guys get jealous when other guys want you and you 'don't get it'. I think it is over when you like another guy. As it should be.

He could be seeing other people while he is dating you because he is terrified of losing you...he may need backups in case you don't work out. For men, getting dumped is second only to getting fired (the opposite order for women), which is still not as bad as losing his dog or getting old.

Also, having a girlfriend makes a man's whole being work better...suddenly he is a chick magnet (ergo: all the good ones are taken, or married...that means, in reality, all the married ones feel and appear good). Since he is technically single, he may keep a few flirtations around. That's another outstanding reason for waiting until the wedding night. Let him get it out of his system!!!!! He will end it with the girls he is sleeping with and pick you if you love him.

(Reference: joining in if they saw their girlfriend with other men having sex.)

I cannot imagine they mean that. It makes me sick, also.
