Do women have a natural instinct of wanting protection from men?

[Anonymous]

And if so is it for their offsprings or for themselves?

I think this whole protection nurturing instinct is not real.

[Matt-G]

Yes and no, I think it's more an expectation of a certain type of behavior but that expectation varies WILDLY between each individual. The common denominator being an expectation of, and a conformity to, a level of comfortable interaction.

I'd say that how safe a woman feels depends what the woman wants to do or say in a situation and her perception of how that will be received. An extrovert girl might feel the need, or lack of, for protection as much as an introvert but for different reasons.

I would say yes or at least I think women have a natural instinct to seek to seek safety not necessarily protection. It´s mainly for themselves but also for their offspring since they know that once they´re a mother they are especially vulnerable.
I do there is an instict since I´ve heard women talk to other women about their baby smells or they have checked at night if their baby breaths properly and so on, aspects I never heard fathers talk about to guys.

Thanks for the MHO and I´m glad you liked my answer.

Yes they do, I don't know where it stems from exactly. But as a woman myself I can agree.

[Berethor]

They do, women prefer strong men trope, women want protection for themselves and for their offsprings, women also like to feel dominated and want strong genes for their offsprings.

Pretty real. Look at it this way--it's quite clearly adaptive. Women who had such an instinct would have been FAR more likely to survive (along with their offspring). Women with an instinct of "I don't need no MANS! Imma STRONG INDEPENDENT woman!" would've been more likely to be eaten by wolves.

I'd like to have male bodyguards but this doesn't mean I'd want protection from my man.

[Berethor]

Bodyguard crush trope, how you have money to pay for a bodyguard, are you rich?

[Opinion Owner]

You seem to think that natural instincts follow the same process as rational thought. They do not. That's not at all how instinct works. You can't "reason" you way to different instincts. Your instincts were not formed in the 21st century with a market economy that enables you to purchase anything you want.

[Asker]

I don't find anything appealing about male protection or providing in relationships.
I wouldn't feel comfortable for getting presents from him. I am for splitting the check.

[Opinion Owner]

Swell. That's all cool. But your personal experience doesn't tell us anything about the natural instincts of women. Now you may not care about the natural instincts of women, but you did ask the question, so I'm a bit confused here as to what your question is. But perhaps you're trying to make a point rather than ask a question?

[Asker]

Yes I am telling how that natural instinct is not born with us.

[Berethor]

If you don't have that natural instinct, don't means that most women also don't.

[Asker]

@Berethor i think it is not an instinct but a need that is born from helplessness and insecurity.

[Berethor]

@marish01 sounds like feminist theory, women naturally weaker than men you know.

[Asker]

@Berethor I know. Never said men are not stronger than women.

[Berethor]

@marish01 then why a woman would not seek protection from a big strong man?

[Asker]

@Berethor I would want that if I were famous. I'd have a bodyguard.

[Berethor]

@marish01 worthless yellow rocks trope, natural instincts are from prehistoric time.

[Opinion Owner]

I'm pretty sure the definition of natural instince is that it IS born with you. If it's not innate then it's learned. So are you suggesting the female desire for a strong male is LEARNED and not innate?

[inhua]

yes but only by the "right" man and by "right" man, she has to find him attractive. she don't want an unattractive man to protect her unless he's sacrificing his life in the process

[IceCreamSandwich]

Everyone has a natural instinct to want protection. That's why we seek community. That's why we wear clothes. Etc.

[Asker]

Yes but I feel no urge for getting protection from a romantic partner

[IceCreamSandwich]

That's fine. People often seek it in different ways depending on their upbringing or personality. Like how some children don't seek protection from their parents while others do, and some people will seek protection from only one gender for whatever reason, even if they're strangers. It makes sense some people would seek protection from their romantic partner, and some wouldn't.

[najekim]

Except there are only three valid reasons to wear clothing: Inclement weather, safety, and medical necessity. One could argue for athletics too.

[IceCreamSandwich]

@najekim yeah, except athletics is also for safety right? I'd also add social safety because how you dress could for example make the difference between you landing/keeping a job, which most people need for income for food and housing. It could make the difference in a relationship being successful, which most people find super important in their life even if they won't actually die without one.

[najekim]

Sorry, but missed my point. But this is digressing from your original question. :)

[IceCreamSandwich]

@najekim I guess I did miss it; what was your point?

[Billlewis]

I think so. To me, there is nothing more exciting than a beautiful woman getting fucked by a real man who is a big finisher, and floods her hot cunt with his gigantic load of semen.

[Guanfei]

Instinctively, yes, but our actual society modified it, so they don't care that much anymore.

[alearningboy]

Normally women loves protection from there partner. But now in these days even men changed.

[Iron_Man]

Yes they do they all do

[Iron_Man]

They want protection and safety. They also want financial security.

[soe11]

Yes mostly

[KostasKouvalis]

Some do. Some don't.

[Cubus]

I believe so

[BLP11520]

It’s normal
