Emotionally, I get no reward for it. I'm not saying I wouldn't show the person I love that I care for them, or stand up for them. I would. But I don't have the Hero Instinct many men do.
The majority of the women who answered said "yes, it is unattractive." Plus, my type is physically strong, tough, and athletic. If she's also tall or more boyish/masculine, that's ideal. Basically, a woman who might not need me to protect them. For a man who doesn't have the Hero Instinct, it just makes sense.But ladies, is wanting a woman who doesn't want/need to be protected is asking too much?
Should I want to be a protector, even if I am not needed for it?
However, I'd still rather have a partner who was physically strong and capable of fending for themselves. Like I said, strong, tough, and athletic is my type.
