Girls, how much of a priority is safety for you in a partner?

[Still-alive]

Is it number one for you? Or near the top? Or is it actually not something you think about? It seems like a universally coveted trait women want in their partners with exceptions of course.

It's my #1 top priority! I need to feel safe or i can't do it

It's not my #1 priority but it is very close to the top

It's important but many other things are more important for me in a partner

Its not that important but i would rather have it than not have it

I don't see it as important for me actually

I’m somewhat confused tbh.

Not sure if it means I feel safe with them, I AM safe around/with them, or their safety, or both of our safety.

Obviously I’d never date anyone who seemed to threaten any type of my well-being. I don’t use that as a rule of thumb or unwritten code in choosing potential mates. I go by my intuition and other factors, especially how the conversations flow.

I value his safety because I value the safety of everyone I care about and value.

I take safety with me wherever I go lol it’s just a basic life essential, it’s not exactly my religion.

Safety is VERY important. In ANYTHING. I learned the hard way. I am not going to go into the details here (maybe another time), but yeah, I don't want to end up with a permanent injury or even cost me my life! It's also how you can build trust with your partner. But ESPECIALLY feeling physically safe, not just emotional/psychological. Just "common" sense really.

Ever heard of Maslow's Heirachy of needs? I believe in that. You can't go to the next level without the physical needs being met first. Like you can't concentrate on finding love if you're homeless or don't have food and shelter. If you don't have those, you will die... eventually. Or get really sick.

Actually, I disagree with this a bit. I think SAFETY should be at the bottom of the pyramid! You can't eat in peace without feeli

like you're safe. I think it's a bit more complicated than that.

I would say it's my number ONE priority.

I never felt safe growing up and it's something that triggers me.

And as you know because we've talked about this before, I can love someone very much but if I feel unsafe at all I will disappear and never come back. Safety takes precedence over the way I feel for me.

It's important, but other things are more important for me in a partner.
Its important, but trust and communication come before this.. This come would be a close 2nd. It's very difficult to place safety on a scale!!

I like when guys are protective of me over outsiders. But other than that, i normally feel safe in a relationship and if i dont, i’ll bounce

It's definitely my #1 priority. If I don't feel safe, how can I trust him? It's impossible.
