Here's the way I see it. I don't date women who like a lot of attention from random guys. They are usually extroverted, but don't need to be the center of attention. They don't dye their hair blonde and don't have fake boobs. They're also usually very trustworthy. Therefore, I don't have a reason to be jealous unless I see a guy actively pursuing and she seems to be open to it, which has never happened in front of me. But as others have mentioned, it is important to stake a claim so its obvious she's with me. I do that, but not in an overbearing, clingy way. I've never had an issue with jealousy or dated a woman who it bothered that I wasn't jealous.
Like pride, i think jealousy is something people should feel in extreme moderation, but I do think a certain amount is healthy. If I had a girlfriend who wasn't jealous AT ALL, I might think she didn't even care about our relationship. Though then again I guess if your relationship is super secure such feelings may not even be necessary.
What do you think? Is jealousy like cholesterol, in that a moderate amount of it is healthy?
It sounds like you require a certain amount of drama in your relationships. Most people can live without that. People who measure how much their SO cares about them by the presence or absence of jealousy are asking for drama.

Yes. If my lover felt no jealousy at the thought of my being with someone else, it wouldn't make me feel too good. I would think they didn't find me worthy enough. Jealousy can be healthy when it comes to love. Love is all about being wanted and wanting someone else, and that means keeping your lover for yourself and not sharing them anyone else.
Idk, I'm a woman, but I'm not typically the jealous type nor do I care much if the person I am dating gets jealous. On the other hand I have been accused of not caring and even had someone end a relationship with me because of this. So I have actually thought maybe going fwd I could periodically act a little jealous and that really bothers me because it seem so silly, but if its a need somebody has I guess every now and then I could do it. I don't know. I'm on the fence about it.
Healthy or not, I've had more than one woman break up with me because she felt that I wasn't jealous "enough". Sometimes this manifested itself in a bigger form, like simply having an uncaring disposition, but sometimes it was as simple as "she wanted me to be jealous of her from time to time".
