If it is, to what degree in a relationship is it acceptable? (we`re talking about a guy being jealous. Womens jealousy is harmless)

Sorry, I should say that I`m not a harmful jealous person. I get jealous, but it usually rolls of my back pretty quick.

Jealosy in either a male or female is a form of fear of abandonement and insecurity. Hollywood in particular (inc Popeye the Sailor and Bluto-Brutus fighting over OliveOil) taught many people in this culture during the 50s and 60s that this is a desireable trait in a male. It is NOT a sign that he really cares!! Don't be duped by this! Many battered women have thought that a man who is real possessive like this is showing his depth of interest and love!! NO, it is not!!! It is a potential warning sign of a batterer. It is essentially a warning sign that predicts future problems for that couple. Walk the other way. Find someone who is not possessive, clingy, a control freak or afraid of abandonment! Look up "the lethality checklist" on line to see other traits of potentially abusive men (or women)

are you kidding? woman can be just as crazy as us men with jealousy. they can fight and even kill. in fact, i heard on the news a girl killed a girl over a man.
in answer to your question, it is never a good thing for anyone to be jealous. it is good for people to be secure and not insecure. also, there MUST be trust. if the two people really love each other, and are really in love(and there is nothing lacking in either partner), and the partners are mature, understanding, secure and have no self esteem issues, then there would be no jealousy.
who said that men alone can be harmful?

Jealousy from a man OR woman is bad. It shows lack of respect and lack of confidence and among many other things. A relationship will not last with jealousy. If it does, then it will only be an unhealthy relationship and get worse.

Yes. A man that is jealous can have sever anger and violence issues. And a woman who is jealous can harm another waoman given the right circumstances.
