Trick question.
You did not specify - to protect how? Carry around a jacket so he can protect you from the rain?
A girl becomes a woman when she can control her life. Do things on her own. Women can't punch as hard as men can. There is also an innate atraction for men who are protective. It is in our genes. Even if we live in a most secure neighbourhood and don't need protection we still need a man who would make us feel secure. Be it a woman who is a lawyer or a barista.
But to RELAY on a guy sounds like scene from the Goodfellas when she cried after the neighboor tried to touch him. -He touched me! Dear God!
And then a main character comes to smash his nose.
However hilarious, it only happens in the movies.
* neighbour tried to touch her :D sorry, it is late.
Ur not going to have a guy besides u every second of ur life. How do u think women get raped or kidnapped. And there has been just as many cases where men have been killed or worse. So what r u going to do when ur alone and someone attacks u and there is no one to help or hear u.
There is nothing wrong with trusting a guy to fall back on when you feel like shit..
But you need to have a balance between doing it on you own and to put yourself in someone else his hands..
I have 2 awesome female friends. And they are strong and independent. but sometimes they can't handle it on their own anymore and they somehow have faith that if they come to me i will take care of them/protect them
Don't rely on everyone but only on the people you trust and try to do stuff yourself because nobody else can completely feel what you feel!
If she's always spouting feminist crap about being superior or equal in every way, she can man the fuck up and handle it. Respect for her independence and equality and blah, blah, blah.
Other than that, it's perfectly reasonable.

Both the boyfriend and girlfriend should protect each other. It shouldn't be just all one sided, that's just retarded. I know for one if someone broke in while I was with my SO we'd both confront the intruder. Having someone go down by themselves does not make sense. THAT'S HOW PEOPLE DIE IN MOVIES. Lmfao
Guys are usually much stronger than girls, so I don’t see any harm in a girl going out with a guy they trust in a sketchy part of town as safety so they don’t get raped or something. You rarely ever hear of women raping or kidnapping men but rather the other way around. Although I think it’s wonderful for women to learn self defense, it’s always smart in my opinion to have a trustworthy male around in a sketchy situation to lower their chances of harm.
Men like it when they feel like you need them, emotionally as well as physically, but it is always useful to know how to defend yourself in life, you don't want to lose your own power and become entirely dependent upon one person for your own physical safety.
U gotta learn to defend for urself. What happens if u don't have a bf? Who r u gonna rely on when there's a dangerous situation and a guy isn't around? Exactly. Everybody needs learn how to defend themself.
I would protect my wife with my life. And I think she would appreciate it. And when I'm not around I've taught her how to shoot and we took are concealed carry class together so even when she's by herself I don't need to protect her she can protect herself. I think the man's responsibility is security, not necessarily protection!
I think it's okay, if you were my girlfriend I'd automatically try to do it anyway
But if you were to start trouble and then expect me to put myself in harms way because you did that then I wouldn't be okay with it
I think if you want to learn a martial art or something then you should go for it and it's pretty cool in my opinion
I don't think it's bad to rely on a guy to defend you but not all men will or can there's all this stuff about how strong women are but don't apreciate the fact that there are stereotypes on men one of the biggest ones being all men are strong fighters it's just not true there have been times I've had to look after my guy friends In a fight because they were scared and that's completely okay so yes it's okay but learn to fight for yourself because people won't do it for you
I don't think you should rely on anyone to protect you, except the police (best case scenario).
I think everyone would be a lot more well off if they took some basic self-defense classes. I've been looking into it myself recently.
It’s nice to feel protected, but walking down the street with the knowledge you could kick everyone’s ass is better.
Personally, a guy ought to be willing and able to protect you. If he chooses not to, he isn't worth your time. However, he won't be by your side 100% of the time. Hopefully, neither one of you would ever need to defend yourselves, but it's best to prepared for all situations.
Firstly, depends on yourself. Are you more independent? Then you'd learn some moves. Secondly, depends on the guy. Some men would want to be able to protect you, some want to know you'd be safe if they weren't around.
Depends to be honest. Like if there's a guy there I would rely on him. But I think it's important to be able to defend yourself bc there's a 90% chance a guy won't be around when you need him.
It's the man's job to reach the woman how to protect herself. When the bad guys come, I want another shooter with me. That, and I cannot be around her 24/7. Teach your kids as well. It will only make you stronger as a team.
It's not about not being able to defend oneself. When the time comes, I believe that most women I know are capable of giving their attacker a badass kick in the stomach. But, there is some kind of inherent sexiness in your male partner being protective. I think this comes from the times when the man used to hunt while the woman looked after her children and the house. The display of protectiveness would then provide some security as to the man caring for her and the family, otherwise the women would have children and the man would just leave.
It is o. k., but you should still learn to look after yourself.
If you're going out and starting shit with other people and expecting him to protect you, it's definitely not o. k.
Relying on a man to protect you is not bad at all however you shouldn't be relying on him because of your inability... he won't always be there to protect you
Basically I find nothing wrong with it. But some girls have this idea that their guy is something like their fighting drone. Some effort on 'her' own side is required. And this: If she starts an issue because of nothing - - > not my business.
depends on the situation, physical protection most guys got you covered. financial protection, depends whats your status with the guy and whats he like and for emotional protection, not so much.
I have some friends that are girls that I chill with and the only time I'd step in is if things actually got physical. Otherwise they can handle themselves just fine and I try my absolute best not to be that cockblocker
If it's me, I'm training my girlfriend in martial arts/self defense because women get victimized more often than men do. At the same time, I'm defending her with my life even if she's Ronda Rousey level because that's the guys role and purpose.
It's okay for a guy to protect you, but being able to defend yourself is also good.
It shouldn’t annoy them, but girl, don’t put yourself in that position—go out and learn martial arts or something. I carry my knitting bag, usually and have lots of fun could-be weapons in there if I need them.
Yeah, rely on a guy who likes you and you will get protection from him. But both of you need to like each other.
I think it is if his the stronger one
Same if he wants to rely on her if she is stronger
But beside that its worth knowing some self deffence
Yes it's fine🙂 but she also need to be brave so I will be relaxed knowing she can also protect her in absense of me🙂
You should probably learn to defend yourself, but physically protecting our loved ones is deeply ingrained in a man's psyche. I never feel stronger or more alive than when I am in the role of protector.
Relationships are about relying on each other.
Having someone protect you is cool. But becoming totally dependent is bad. Continue your training grasshopper. Become strong like mountain, but remain gentle like water. Listen to Mater Kucha, for I know all, like the tortoise. . . . . .
In the end all you'll have is yourself. Don't rely on anyone.
I love it when guys protect me, weather we are dating, best friends, or just friends. It makes me feel loved and safe. Honestly the best feeling.
I don't see the issue with it unless you're an instigator. Don't look for trouble and then expect the guy to do the dirt work.
No. Everyone is response for their own safety and learning to defend yourself.
girl take a karate class and learn to kick some ass!
Why would it be wrong to let a guy protect you i mean itd help if you learnt how to protect yourself but you can rely on a guy its your choice to make if you feel safe around him then it doesn't matter what people say
If a girl puts herself in a bad situation she needs to get herself out. I can't get her back if she deserves it
The problem is, unless you're conjoined twins, he's not going to always be there. Then what will you do?
I don't care if you need protecting as long as you are more Elizabeth (Bioshock infinite) than Claire (resident evil)
I don't just walk around relying on people. If he can, that's nice but I would just use my speed to my advantage and run tbh
Trust me I do
You take care of yourself because nobody cares about you more than you do.
Personally I don’t like it when a guy is trying to be overprotective. That’s why I learned to defend myself.
It was the guy I thought was going to protect me that did the damage. In short learn how to protect yourself.
This is one of our primary roles in life. However, it would be to your benefit to learn some moves of your own.
Why on earth would u? U r the only person who can carry the consequences of ur own events anyway.
Hmm do u understand that?
Well I don't think it's wrong but you have to realize that it's probably better to be able to defend yourself to some extent also. I'd recommend Jiu-Jitsu or some type of grappling. There are some bad ass bitches in taekwondo though too
Learn to defend yourself because a guy won't always be there to protect you and if there is a guy with you. He may be a bitch so get into Brazilian Ju jitzu, you'll be able to choke out 250 pound men
Its fine, aslong as the girl isn't causing trouble because she knows you will protect her!
I like my girlfriend because she can fight on her own. I hate girls who need a man to save their ass from danger
It's fine, but you still have to learn some self defense, because he can't be around 24/7 to protect you.
I would protect a normal girl, but not the feminist girl she don't need a protection she can handle it by her self any situation.
I think yes until a certain extent. Like if I'm with my girl, then it's my duty to protect her, but if she's alone then she needs to defend herself.
Better not to. He may disappoint you when you need him the most...
Nah. Learn to run, punch and defend yourself because you will not always have a man around to protect you or even the one protecting you could turn to you.
Yes it is bcs guys aren't responsible for your safety, you are
No girl, learn to defend yourself!! Unless you are following the old system where girl belongs to the kitchen and man belongs to the fields. You should learn to defend yourself!
Yes... but not completely. You also must learn to defend yourself when the guy isn't there.
Yeah, just dont be mad when we dont come to your aid.
Yes but according to me everybody should be able to defend them selfs and others
Every girl should learn to defend them self, in all ways.
Look its kinda sweet mainly when a guys has his eye for her. But can be disturbing if it turns to a show off thing.
You should gain trust first really know them but always be on guard to protect yourself because you never know what's going to happen
i dont see any harm done in girls be fuckin responsible and protecting there asses
They could invest in hand granades and german shepherds as well. A couple mack 11's can also get the job done. But a guy who could kick ass would be a bit more incognito.
