Protective guy friends?

[Anonymous]

Guys, are you typically protective just over girls you are interested in, or are you protective over girl friends in general, or does it depend?

Protective over girls who are close to me at a much higher degree than I'm protective over girls I don't know. I'm more protective over girls than boys, and would defend any girl from any particular threat, while I would only tend to protect smaller males instead of bigger ones.

For my girlfriend, I share the most protective bond out of any other girl, and I know if someone was to ever insult them in the street, I would storm across the road and attack them. I think it ties into the possession part of a male, unfortunately, and would be similar to some guy spitting on a new car. You don't like it when people put down what you have, so that mingled with the love and protective streak I have for females builds up to an almost psychopathic level.

For other females, it does depend on the manner of threat. If it was an actual attack, no matter if I hated or liked the girl, I would defend them. If it was verbal, I could and would probably ignore it based on the level of like I have for them, even friends I've ignored any potential insults hurled at them, instead opting to encourage them to ignore the asshole who is doing the insulting.

So I suppose I'm protective in general, but it does depend on the circumstances.

Bonus: I've recently questioned myself about this when I didn't follow my girlfriend to the toilet when we were at the cinema, I let her go alone. I didn't want to miss the film. I felt guilty for ages afterward, and I'm 99% sure I hurt her feelings in a way I hadn't done before, too.

Anyway, I hope that answers your question. :)

Haha well said, I agree with everything you said until your bonus bit. I think if a girl needs protection when walking from a cinema to a toilet and back then I would question how she has survived for all those years before you came along. Not trying to be insulting, just my thoughts.

thanks for the answer!

Yeah but she relies on people for help Cartoon, because she has sociophobia. Knowing that, perhaps you understand why I feel so guilty? :(

And you're welcome, question asker! :)

Protecting women from their killer tampons is what I do best!
