Guys, are you protective over your girlfriend/fiance/wife?

If you are, what kind of things do you do everyday just to make sure things are ok? Any major instances where protective instincts kicked in? Have you tried protecting her from certain people, places, or things? Stories are definitely welcome :) ... An incident occurred today with my boyfriend that made me want to ask this about other guys, so please enlighten me! :)

  • I guess the usual?

    I've been known to have to squeeze myself in-between friends and creeper guys at clubs or bars if they get too frisky. When someone 6'3 gets right in front of your face it's a pretty clear message it's time to move on and most guys usually just walk away.

    One guy that I'll never forget was probably the biggest creep I've met at a club. Myself and 2 friends were dancing and he was just standing there staring at them. I ignored it for the first 30 seconds or so because he wasn't doing anything but then it got really creepy when he just kept standing there staring. I asked him what he was doing and he said "Just looking". Mind you this was in the middle of a dance floor. I told him to look else where and eventually he got the hint and walked away. Oh! That same night those same two friends were dancing up on a platform and I was doing my thing on the floor in front of them and some guy walked up and asked me how much they cost. He was some 40ish looking middle eastern guy. I had to tell him they weren't for sale. It was surreal. The things that happen in Vegas...

  • Yes! It's part of our nature to feel possessive of a women. I don't mean that in a deragatory manner either, possession is also part of how we bond and love. Anything that threatens harm to our GF, wife, or fiance triggers a need to protect them. Now, sure, women feel that way about us too, but we feel it at the level of a duty and moral obligation as well as a deep emotional connection.

    If anyone or anything comes close to hurting my Girlfriend I get agitated and anxious. I feel the need to stop it at all costs and protect her. And this is not just physical harm, in fact it's usually just negative emotional things too. If she is having a really bad day or something traumatic happens I want to fix it and shield her from the effect.

    I need to think of a story that will make this more interesting. I will work on that and get back to you.

    Good question.

    • Nice answer :) And thank you.

  • I don't worry too much about that myself. My girlfriend is a tough and sturdy woman, smart too, so she can take care of herself. Though she worries a bit to much about me. She sometimes gets really pissy with me if I jaywalk. Still, that doesn't happen too often. But yeah sometimes she worries too much about me. I can take care of myself. In some ways, probably even better than she can, herself.

  • I'm protective of my wife and of those who are or have been close to me. Examples? If I see something broken or damaged around her house that could cause her to get hurt, I fix it or have it fixed immediately. Something like a bald tire on her car, a nail sticking out of a door jamb, something slippery on the floor, and so on. I also really keep an eye on her when we are engaged in activities where one wrong move can be fatal, like when we are SCUBA diving. Also, if we come to a sudden stop and I am driving, I instinctively throw my arm across her chest to keep her from flying into the windshield. That latter thing is really a wasted effort with modern seatbelts, but it is instinctive.

    She is a very strong and independent woman and it took her a couple of years to stop being off-put by my natural protective instincts. It's not a control thing (possessive) but a level of deep caring. I'd take a bullet for her.

    • Well you sound like a great gentleman :) Thank you for your answer.

  • YES, Very much and that's the immidiate reaction he should have. I am 6’5” and I don't know why but I think all but 2 out of 8 real girlfriends I have had were 100lbs and super petite, ( DO GIRLS THAT ARE PETITE NATURALY ATTRACTED TO TALLER GUYS? ) so for some weird reason I always had to be that “Knight in Armour” and it is not Ego but only one Ex did not like it and would get mad, needless to say she is history but Love is the trigger, F-Buddies ummm not likly going to happen

  • No..I don't think so...if she needs something from me she is not afraid to ask...the one thing I always do is lock the doors when I leave.. a lot of people may find this strange but a lot of unlocked doors here...when I first moved here, at least, a lot of people did not even lock their doors at night...of course every other house has dogs & guns...(:(:(:

  • Can you define for me what you mean by protective? Just so I know we're on the same page.

    • "I don't feel like sharing that, that is why I just said an incident." Can you give an example of "protective" though? Just so I can properly answer?

    • As in keeping her out of harms way, not wanting her to get hurt, physically or emotionally.

    • Like, say a guy is disrespecting her on a major level, will you step up for her? That is just one of many things though.

    • Show All
  • What was your incident?

    • I don't feel like sharing that, that is why I just said an incident.

    • I only ask because it would give us a better idea of what you mean by protective. It's not like any of us know you or your bf.
