A man has nothing to lose to a women. Jealousy is the fear of impeding loss. A woman can't take something from him in most situations. This is why a woman uses the state (ie spousal or child support).

Other men can win the affection of the woman you are seeing. Which is often where you see jealously vs other men. women are jealous of other women because they compete for attention both sexual and non sexual for both men and women. Men typically only seek attention from women with the exception of some high status men.

A man is more likely to fall for envy of another mans station, status, wealth, sexual prowess, etc than he is to fall to jealously in most situations.

Well, men tend to be internally motivated (self efficacy) more than women, who are solipsists and externally motivated (accruing resources, connections, and items).

It's hard to be envious of someone else gagging material things if you don't care much about material things.

Source for my Paulson, women drive over 2/3rds of consumerism.
