How would you rewrite the following anyway?:
"Tom's cock was three times longer than Jim's, but Jim's nose was five times smaller than Tom's."

Jim was jealous but he was pretty.

Envious rather than jealous?

Synonym?

Not at all.

Envious is what you may be when you haven't something that somebody
else has. "I'm envious of John because of his gorgeous wife" sort of
thing.

Jealous is that you want to keep something to yourself (think - "a
jealously-guarded trade secret").

I've only ever heard jealous used in your first example in place of envious.
