Why are guys so protective of their girlfriends? (Page 2)

Question

My boyfriend and I were walking past a homeless man who appeared a little drunk the other morning. When my boyfriend realised we actually needed to pass by the man, he grabbed me by the arm out of nowhere and moved me so that I was on the other side of him, and my boyfriend was between me and the homeless man. I got zero vibe this man was a threat to us, yet my boyfriend always gets quite protective like this. Just want to know why.

So, instead of offering to give the guy a little loose change, he not only didn't give him anything, but, also assumed he was a criminal and was going to hurt you?

What an asshole your boyfriend is, sorry, but that's how I see it

YinLong · Answer

Obviously you aren't capable of protecting yourself and he feels responsible to protect you and sometimes it's just to prove a point or just to impress a girl.
