Girls, would you die for your husband/boyfriend?

[AleDeEurope]

So we all know that 99% of guys would die to save their woman, but what about girls, would you die to save your man? Assuming it's a "you or him" situation, would you die to save him?

P. S.: If you're single, just answer based on what you'd do if you had a man.

I would die for him

I would NOT die for him

I'm a guy

I know GAG people are thick, but come on, I didn't expect so many people to take the 99% literally. Jesus Christ... -_-

[ruthfaithseer]

Here's one for you. I'd die for you isn't saying shit! I mean come on. People die for slot of dumb shit. How bout a girl that'd kill for you? Every single person dies. And in a given bad situation where you could be the most loyal person on earth, most loving, the most willing to sacrifice, ugly, pretty, blind, deaf, no loyalty, brave, a coward, deceiving, a mother, barren, have a terminal illness... We all die the same! But not every person kills the same... A mangy nut on the street would die to defend it's litter IE loved ones sort of. Willingness to die is in everyone for the right people in life especially. Dying for someone you love... Really? It's a given and isn't saying shit. Now not everyone, very few in fact will attack and fight for others, life and death like. As said before the dying is an easy part. Soulless beasts do this! A life and death fight for you where they're eliminating the threats to you... Now that's love. Some will say that's just too over the top, that's crazy. So we'll know who's love would be limited to just giving up and dying, but not loving enough to take it to any level for you

[Inactive]

No, I don't know that 99% of guys would die to save their woman, and until you can tell me where you got that information, I will continue not to know it. I do believe men are slightly more willing though, but I doubt it is as selfless as people make it out to be. Men, in general, take more risks than women... It's what they do. Not to mention, the simple fact that they are stronger would cause many to take on the role of the protector in dangerous situations, the way women do when they are with a group of children.

[Bls61793]

I do think it's a majority of guys though... and I think it's got an evolutionary basis. Once a woman has kids, she is more valuable to the kids until they reach adolescence, and without the mom they probably wouldn't survive to be teenagers. Men on the other hand, are disposable. Once we've impregnated a woman, we have a vested biological interest in defending her from harm at all cost. Even if we have to fight a bear-bare handed so she can get away. I think this evolutionary backdrop still holds true today. in my opinion It seems men can hold onto the "madly in love feeling" more easily than women... all we need is regular sex to feel in love. At least from my experience.

[DizzyDesii]

I used to say i would, but after going through some things, I wouldn't die for my mother, sister, nor my future husband. However, I would die for my future kids

[Neverrrmore]

I think I would in most situations. Like I would die trying to save him without thinking twice. If it were something like "one of you has to die, who is it gonna be?" I would think about it and put my kids first, and he's a great father, but would have hard time as a single dad.

[hellionthesagereborn]

No, they wouldn't. Goolge man dies for woman and you get many many counts of this happening, you google woman dies for man and you get many many counts of men dying for women. In fact your more likely to come across male children fighting/dying trying to save their mothers then you will of women sacrificing themselves for men. Its partially biology, women dictate the pace of reproduction ergo they are more valuable and thus we are biologically built to protect them to ensure the survival of the whole species. The other part is society which tells women they are so above men that to die for a man would be like dying for an animal, its simply not, in their eyes, an equivalent exchange.

[Tdieseler]

I know they'd die to save their child...
there's a natural progression i guess.
Men---> family
Women--->children.
Not a big fan of it but hey... c'est la vie.

[Bls61793]

Children get saved first, then women, then men. Just how it is.

[flypaper]

Yepp, we were robbed at knife point they were going for my husband and I lunged at the guy with the knife he was so shocked he dropped it and I went karate kid on his crotch and blackened both his eyes my husband took out the guy with him that tried to run. When I hear a noise me and him argue over who takes the bat and checks it out so now we take turns. I prefer to protect him, the idea of a world with him in it doesn't work for me one iota.

[teawrecks]

I'm honestly not afraid to die. So. Like.

I don't WANT to die, but I don't necessarily have anything to live for.

If I were in a relationship I'd obviously consider the other person something to live for, but if I live and they die why would I want to live over them?

[1truekhaleesi]

That statistic is high. Domestic violence exists for both genders. I'm pretty sure the attacker in a domestic violence relationship wouldn't care if their partner died. Or was in any sort of danger.

Anyways, yes I would die for my husband. I'm hard to understand so I doubt I will find another one like him. And I wouldn't want to live with a lot of guilt. We're not having kids so I don't have to make the decision to save him or the kids.

[chigurl33]

I said no because it has to be a very specific scenario for me to. Either I was the one who caused the whole mess and I'm saving him from unneeded trouble or he's the better parent and we have kids.

I think it's only a significant other and my kid I would consider dying for though I would try my best not to leave anyone behind.

[foighveoirgho]

I'd only die for family or my best friend. Infatuation and the whole honeymoon phase is great and all, but there's a lot more people I care about deeply and have been in my life a lot longer than any relationship I've had/probably ever will have. If my SO was my best friend, maybe, but as for now that spots already taken.

[Eugene]

The only woman that would die for a man is the one that gave birth to him.

Others would never do that. Not in their nature.

[Tdieseler]

pfft... my mom tried to kill me on hella occasions lol... so forgive me if im not really with that.
(though you are right, and thats the way it should be)

[Eugene]

@Tdieseler c'mon, you cannot be serious.

[Tdieseler]

Dead serious. And when she couldn't (hard to kill).. she's literally said she doesn't care if someone took me out and i died in a gutter somewhere.
Eventually, the feeling became mutual.
Im surprised I even have as much respect for mothers and females as a whole, when i had that piece of shit for a role model lol.
Kinda feel this twinge of hatred/anger when i see when mothers act like mothers should... just a twinge. It goes quick though... cuz its nice to know there are good ones out there.

[Eugene]

@Tdieseler not gonna lie, if you're serious, then it's seriously fucked up. Frankly, I haven't seen mothers like that... I've seen one overly (I'd stress OVERLY) demanding (one of my niece's friend's mom), but haven't seen such behavior you've described.

What's the reason behind that?

[Tdieseler]

Your guess is as good as mine...
I've said maybe is because pops was barely around but he was out there making that money and she didn't complain about that...
I've said its because at some point i was growing up and wanted to start making my own decisions to prepare for when i become an actual man
I've said its because i didn't want to be mama's "pet" anymore...
Again, your guess is as good as mine. even with all those, it doesn't justify taking it out on your child... oh im the first son... closest male to the father.

[Eugene]

@Tdieseler that's seriously fucked up.
I rarely do it (because I'm somewhat of a cold-blooded asshole), but I genuinely wish you luck in life. Hopefully you'll find a woman you'll love and she'll love you back and you'll be an excellent dad.
Just be fucking sure to be around your kids, ya hear?

Cheers!

[Eugene]

@Tdieseler and fuck me, you made me miss my mom even more now; I'm working abroad on the orders of my boss, while she's back home in Russia.
Now not only I'm 24/7 homesick (as I detest being where I am right now), but I also miss my mom more than ever.

[Tdieseler]

Where are you at right now? lol, and i dont think i can do the whole travel thing... unless its real short. What do you do?

[Eugene]

@Tdieseler I'm a country that I consider a failed state, historical traitor and our de-jure lands by right that have separated themselves illegally twice, and I'd prefer to see the most of it's population erased as trash they are permanently (except of a small minority that are Russians/Slavic). And I'm not kidding one bit about this statement.
In short: one of Baltic "states".

My job mainly consists of overseeing a development of the new office. While the salary is high above the one I could've possibly expected and the job itself is very nice, I'm extremely homesick, plus my deep hatred for these "people" heavily aggravates me.

[fauchelevent]

I'm not sure. I'd like to say that yes, I would, it makes sense logically and the idea of him dying is more upsetting to me than the idea of myself dying, but I guess until I'm in that situation I couldn't honestly answer.

[Nadzzz]

like if i REALLY LOVED him?
i am sure i would but still i dont know. i have to try how it feels to be in love to say the right answer

[AleDeEurope]

Well, I'm guessing if he's your husband, you're gonna have very strong feelings for him.

[Nadzzz]

s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/.../...5b1ff24711.gif
but yeah when i fall i know i will fall REALLY HARD

[samhradh_leannan]

I really don't think it's accurate to state that "99% of guys would die to save their woman". I'm sure tons of guys are in relationships with women who they don't necessarily feel strongly enough about to want to make that trade.

[hellionthesagereborn]

Except that men are both biologically and socially conditioned to sacrifice themselves for women, even women they don't know.

[samhradh_leannan]

@hellionthesagereborn I'd like to see a source for that. Yes, men are conditioned to be protectors, but they still have self preservation instincts and they're not just waiting around to leap in front of the nearest bullet.

[samhradh_leannan]

And QA- statistical figures aren't intended to be invented out of thin air in order to make points. Incorporating a statistic into your argument implies that you believe that statistic is actually true. So expect to be corrected if you make the choice to do that.

[hellionthesagereborn]

Didn't say they wanted to die, I said they are biologically and socially conditioned to be protectors. From womens greater neotenous traits which trigger biological drives to protect to the fact that through out all of history all stories relate to men fighting and dying for women and not one is the other way around. The fact that 80% of all violent crime victims are male and the more violent the crime the more likely the victim will be male and yet when it comes to abuse women are actually more likely to abuse their partner then men are. If you do a google search: www.google.com/
If you do the same search reversed: www.google.com/
you get the same exact results, that is multiple accounts of men dying for women, none for women dying for men.

[samhradh_leannan]

@hellionthesagereborn People overcome their instincts all the time. The fact that men are conditioned to be protectors doesn't automatically mean that most guys die to save any random woman. And the fact that there are some examples out there still only means so much. Look, I'm not saying you're necessarily wrong. But the situation is not as black and white as you're making it out to be.

[hellionthesagereborn]

I am not saying the issue is black and white, I am saying the majority of men will by and large protect women and the majority of women will by and large protect themselves. This is due to the fact that women dictate the pace of reproduction, it is in the species self interest to preserve women. It is in a mans self interest to protect his mate with his life as this ensures that if they have a child for instance she survives. Without her historically the child would die as the man clearly would not be able to breast feed it and without the mother would starve, but without the father the child would still survive, this meant that the man in sacrificing himself would actually be assuring the survival of his genes thus it would be within his self interest (whether or not he was consciously aware of it). This is the same reason why a mantis will not fight when his mate eats him, in the end her survival ensures the survival of his genes.

[samhradh_leannan]

@hellionthesagereborn That's logical. But in this day and age, I think men are probably more likely to sacrifice themselves for women who they actually love and care about, and less likely to do so for any random woman just because she's a woman. And many women would also die for a man who they really love and care about. I know I would, at least under the right circumstances.

[hellionthesagereborn]

You would be surprised. Biology is difficult to overcome and it is biological (women have neoteonous traits (child like traits) like thinner skin (which is why a womans skin is softer then a mans, because its finer) more tearducts and narrower channels which makes women far more capable of crying then men. They also have less prominent bone structure in the face among other things) Which trigger a response similar to the response a person has when they see a child threatened. This is also part of the reason why male victims of violence from women are not taken as seriously as female victims of violence (male or female driven). It creates a perception of vulnerability for women and thus a need to protect and for men a perception of capability and resilience and thus they do not need protecting. So while I am sure some women would the vast majority will not endanger themselves for men (hence for instance the titanic where 1358 men died vs. 100 women due to women and children first.)

[samhradh_leannan]

@hellionthesagereborn You are not about to convince me that I wouldn't sacrifice myself for my SO based on the thickness of my skin. Sure, biology plays a role and it often influences us- but we also overcome it all the time in many different ways. We aren't necessarily slaves to biology. You might be right that men are more likely to sacrifice themselves, but that doesn't mean all men will, nor does it mean that no woman will. So let's just agree that this is a complex issue, and move on with our lives.

[hellionthesagereborn]

Why do women immediately make something personal? Why? I ask this because it seem in every occurrence when a general statement is made the woman immediately starts talking about themselves. I stated we have biological predispositions, that in the vast majority of cases we function a certain way, men protect women don't. This is a general statement concerning the vast majority of the population. Are their aberations? are their exceptions? Sure, but that is not the norm. This is not about you this is not about some one you know this is about what occurs the vast majority of the time. I was pointing out the difference to hammer home the fact that because of these biological difference we can presume that their is a reason they exist i. e. due to certain gender roles. If males have thicker skin, denser bones, more muscle facial structure designed to withstand damage, higher threshold for pain then women, then it was evolved meaning males where more likely to need these traits by a large

[hellionthesagereborn]

margin, so large in fact that these traits increased survivability in men and where passed on. To presume these are their arbitrarily would be foolish. Further more you can claim what ever you like but unless it actually happened claims of what you will do in any given/hypothetical situation are not evidence. I am not saying you would or you wouldn't I am saying by and large as our media, documentations and biology attest, in almost all likely hood it is women who will be protected and men who will do the protecting the vast majority of the time, so much so that focusing on abnormalities and claiming they are the norm would be dishonest (especially when those abnormalities are hypothetical). Again, as I have stated multiple times, this is a general statement, it is not a 100% it is a general statement a rule of thumb, a highly probable event. Why you think I stated it was absolute is beyond me, I didn't nor did I suggest it.

[SteppingOnRoses]

I would like to say I would, but i was never presented with the situation so i can't affirm it with 100% certainty.

[Curious625]

I'd put myself at risk over the people I love any day tbh. In a life or death situation. Obviously I'd still expect him to manly and protective, but I'd do what I can to protect him also.

[Panda1911]

Yes. I'd give my life to save another especially someone I care about. My life wouldn't be worth it without him and if I did nothing, the guilt would eat away at me.

[Klara-Hitler]

yes. my boyfriend is my childhood best friend, and we are related.

I could die for a best friend, and I would certainly die for family, so I would die for him twice.

[soulbabe]

Nope because that would require me to ever have a husband or by which will never happen.

[AleDeEurope]

You will never have a boyfriend either?

[soulbabe]

Sorry it typo. Nope because that would require me to ever have a husband or boyfriend which will never happen.

[singlebee]

Why would it never happen?

[soulbabe]

@singlebee because it won't

[soulbabe]

@singlebee why do you ask

[singlebee]

Because I wanaa know.. Why?

[soulbabe]

@singlebee. Just because I will be

[singlebee]

OK good for you..

[Maypai]

Given the person I am and the fact that I would most likely love that man to death, yes, I would die for him.

[cross98]

for my child, yes. if i loved him to death, i would but, and this is a big but, there's guys i know that aren't worth it, so no.

[rose004b]

I don't know and frankly, I wouldn't know unless I was put in a life or death situation that forced me to make that choice.

[Smarter]

wow what make you ask this question? because you know damn well people do not care. if they say they do they lie to you, just to look better than the rest with no guilt.

[singlebee]

Yup I have the same time as I have a great day and I will be a good time to to the inbox folder and

[singlebee]

Oppos typo!!!

My answer is that yeaa but only if I loved her.. And she did love me too... Otherwise nope...

[Hollywood-Glam]

No, because I will never have a husband or boyfriend. I would die for my mom though.

[singlebee]

And why is that you wouldn't have a husband or a bf?

[CalebJay18]

Maybe she's too glamorous for a boyfriend... After all, she is named "Hollywood-Glam"

[singlebee]

@CalebJay18 lol what a joke

[Hollywood-Glam]

@singlebee I want to remain single, plus I have no desire to have sex.

[singlebee]

Why? You asexual?

[Hollywood-Glam]

@singlebee yes

[singlebee]

Hmmm good for you
