Is it weird that I'm a guy, and I like it when a girl is protective of me?

[ZeussLightningBolt]

Girl Protecting Guy

It's Weird

It's Not Weird

[humanearth]

Nope, i watch my wife punch a cow in the head. When it had me pinned up against the barn wall. I couldn't breathe and blacking out.

She just jumped on that cow like it was trying to rob the liquor store. She just kept beating away till it went for her.

She got it out the barn. Lock the door. Then checked on me.

If she didn't attack the cow. I might have died. I ended up with two broken ribs and a puncture lung.

She saved my life that day.

[lightbulb27]

no, you were probably bullied as a kid, or felt powerless at times and you like a stronger woman. sound right?

[ZeussLightningBolt]

Yeah that's actually true.
I was bullied and girls would protect me

[lightbulb27]

Then it makes perfect sense. whether it is weird is irrelevant, it's how you were trained and conditioned. I'm drawn to strong women for very similar reasons, because of the strength/protective aspects.

As far as I can tell, there is nothing wrong with it. If you want to change yourself, or you see things in yourself you want to change, then it is something you can explore working on. That's choice, not an issue per se.

[lightbulb27]

thanks mho bro!!

[desidoll]

I am like that. I protect my guy more than the other way around 🤣. Like when anyone tries to "bully" or use him, I'd definitely do something about it. There were a few times where he was almost cheated by some sellers who tried to offer him a different price for some stuffs, I went and scolded them lol.

[ZeussLightningBolt]

Lol
I need to start taking you on trips, 'cuz assholes are always overcharging me

[desidoll]

Yes they do that a lot here to white and Arab tourists. I feel bad for them but I can only help my guy lol. One random guy in KLCC mall even asked him for 5 bucks telling him that he didn't have food to eat. He wanted to give him but I beat up his hand and told him he was just scamming him. I mean that Chinese dude looked fine as hell. Far away from looking like a homeless.

[ZeussLightningBolt]

Mhmmmmmm.
I've had those two.
There was one guy at my college who was always asking me for a dollar at lunch. I thought okay, "I've been there before", so I gave him the dollar. But then I noticed he was doing it everyday, so I figured he was just collecting dollars from different people then using THEIR money to buy himself lunch. Fucking piece of shit!

But the worst are the ones who tell you $2 then charge you $20. I'm talking mainly blacks and Latinos here.

It happened to me in Peru
Shoeshine guy said 2 pesos, then wanted 20 for using "special polish". I gave him 2 cuz that's all I had. Fucking asshole!

Another nlgger bus driver in Grenada charged us 10 extra dollars after we told him our stop.

And another nlgger in Barbados said he'll lure the turtles in for free, then wanted a tip.
And taxi and restaurant staff would just laugh and keep our change.

And you guys can go ahead and report that. It's the truth! Anyone who scams you like that IS a fucking nlgger!

[desidoll]

Yeah charging you like 10 times extra is just way too much. These people are just assholes. Looks like South America is not much difference than South East Asia. People just love taking advantage on the tourists. I don't think the authority would take action against these people though. They will be saying you are the ones who need to to be smart. I am planning to pay my Filipino friend as my tour guide before going to Palawan Philippines in the future. Not gonna let myself getting overcharged there.

[ZeussLightningBolt]

Police in Santiago are combatting it, but that's really the only one.

People will say this is racist, but it's a FACT that Latinos are master scammers. A lot of Africans too. They're taught from a very young age to scam white people.

SE Asia
"Oh harrow. I'm sorry. Dees restaurant closed. Let me recommend another one."

"Oh my gosh, Thai people are SOOOOOOOOOO friendly!"

"Heeheehee. I just send dem to my brother restaurant that cost 4 times more."

God damn, white Liberal tourists are dumb.

[AlienParasite]

I think it's not that weird. Feeling someone is beign protective makes you feel like this person cares about you and that you are important for them. I think it's normal for both parts in a relationship to be protective to some extent.

[ZeussLightningBolt]

I wasn't necessarily talking about relationships though

[AlienParasite]

Mhhh, I see. But I guess it applies the same. Whether you have a relationship or not we humans like to feel enjoy when we are important or special enaugh to be protected. Then, it becomes more enjoyable if we are sexually attracted to the person who's protective of us, as it's nice to know our life is seen as valuable and special enaugh to deserve protection by someone we fancy.

[ZeussLightningBolt]

I agree

[arabgoddess]

I actually feel protective of some guys.. I just don't want the guy to think I'm taking away his manhood.. But any sort of bullying won't be tolerated by me

[ZeussLightningBolt]

Aw. That's sweet

[riot98]

Aww that's really nice of you!

[arabgoddess]

♥ ♥ ♥

[AliyahMia]

No that's not weird at all. Everybody likes to have a sense of security and we all want it in different ways. Its very common to find a sense of security in a partner and people say its not usually what a guy does but that's because they've been told that they're SUPPOSED to be that protective not the protected. That's dumb, if you like a protective girl you are just as normal as the rest of us.

[Avicenna]

Not at all. It's great when your girlfriend or a female friend looks out for you- and she should. My last girlfriend was totally self-centered and wouldn't do that.

[ZeussLightningBolt]

She will protect herself and him as well if she's able to help. She's only dated one guy who wasn't masculine enough to protect her.

[Avicenna]

Of course her guy should protect her, but you'll notice I used the term "looking out", which encompasses a lot of things.

I'd say a firearm is enough to protect anyone.

[Avicenna]

Not sure what you lean about "masculine enough to protect her".

[DeeDeeDeVour]

I don't think that's weird. Although my husband clearly doesn't need my help or protection at all, I will risk my life for him without hesitation. I can at least say that he appreciates it.

[ZeussLightningBolt]

Hot!

[Primrose21]

Oh... how I wish all men have the same mentality as that.

[ZeussLightningBolt]

Really?

[Floki-raven]

Actually they have the Amazon is an male Fantasy

[loveisbeautiful]

No, I wouldn't say you hear about it often but it doesn't mean it's weird. Everyone wants to feel protected and safe, to know someone cares enough about them to keep them that way. I don't see anything wrong with that.

[Liz_thorne]

Everyone likes to feel protected and cared after. It's a sign that someone likes us. I think it's totally normal for men and for women.

[Jean-Marie_Céline]

It's not weird, my fiancée is the same and I like it, but naturally it will have to stop.

[ZeussLightningBolt]

Why must it stop?

[Jean-Marie_Céline]

Because of social appearance and because I'm done letting her make decisions for me.

[ZeussLightningBolt]

Damn
You really have bad luck with women

[Jean-Marie_Céline]

Apparently I draw only meddlesome ones

[SydneySentinel]

No, I don't think so.
Do you feel protective of her as well?

[ZeussLightningBolt]

I would yes. Even though she has a gun and taser and I don't.
But I was asking in general, not about the hot ranger girl at my work.
Although she IS the one I had in mind when I asked this.

Speaking of work, I have to wake up for it tomorrow. Good night.

[SydneySentinel]

I will protect myself and him as well if I'm able to help. I've only dated one guy who wasn't masculine enough to protect me.

[SydneySentinel]

Ranger girl sounds hot

[ZeussLightningBolt]

She IS

[GraveDoll]

define protective...

Now if I'm with a guy i truly care about (like he got to be worth the aggravations) I WILL stated that I'm his and it a two way street.

like i will tell anyone to stay out of his space. Quick. lol it a primal thing i think.

[Bee-Hatch]

Like every other question on here that starts with the words "is it weird" - no. There are 7bn versions of normal on the planet. If that's what works for you, then it's ok.

[Jackelray]

Nah bro
You do you.
I Imagine make you feel safe and wanted. Nothing wrong with that. You be your own man. Don’t let anybody tell you different.

[VIVANT]

Nope not weird. Humans like to know they matter and are cared for and have a base

only people who will say it’s Weird are ignorant and cowardly.

[cute_short_nerd]

Honestly if I love a guy, and I wanted him to have a long happy life I would take a bullet for him. LIVE YOU MOTHERDUCKER, I LOVE YOU, BLEHHHHHHHKKK DEATH.

[archiz]

Not weird.
You would like to know that she cares about you.

[ZeussLightningBolt]

Lol
I could've sworn you answered this already :p

[ZeussLightningBolt]

And yes. You're right. It's nice to be cared about.

[archiz]

Exactlyy

[Trolloween]

I'm the only one who voted yes it's weird so far. But I was using your image as a reference for context, so if you mean you'd let your girlfriend step between you and an attacker yes I do find that weird because what's she going to do? I don't think it's sexist to expect the stronger person to physically defend the weaker one.

[MannySimms]

It means you're submissive. Many find that exciting!

[ZeussLightningBolt]

Okay
If you say so

[Sekhmet13]

It's a bit weird but beautiful to me. I enjoy playing the role of the protector so I appreciate guys like that.

[ZeussLightningBolt]

Awwwwww

[Idontlooklikeu]

I wish my boyfriend was like that. He gets mad when I ask anything about any girls and calls me a crazy jealous person 😖😟

[Floki-raven]

This is not what was meant

[Idontlooklikeu]

@Floki-raven haha Yeah okay but it’s still a form of protection anyway... I’ll even fight the kraken if he tried to come near 🤓❤️💪 !!! and he’d probably still say I’m just being jealous and the kraken just wanted to sit down and talk or something.

[Floki-raven]

*Panics in german*

[Idontlooklikeu]

🤓👹👻

[DiscomfortZone]

I wouldn't want to be you in your position. But that doesn't make it weird.

[ZeussLightningBolt]

Why not?

[DiscomfortZone]

Because I don't want to ever give anyone that kind of power over me.

[ZeussLightningBolt]

Why?

[DiscomfortZone]

That's just what I prefer, friend. You do you, I'll do me :)

[jakeofalltrades]

its not weird. everyone one wants to feel like they are wanted, and part of that is someone one thinking you are worth protecting

[ZeussLightningBolt]

Someone else wrote the same exact thing

[Uialtum]

Same and I don't find it weird at all. I enjoy the feeling that we share a bond so close we are always looking out for each other.

[wagsingle]

Nope! I find both strong and intelligent women really sexy. I'm surprised all the GAG sexist crawling out of the sewers making sexist comments.

[stanstraykids]

i dont think it's weird at all. it means that they care. i don't see anything wrong with being happy that someone cares about you

[Meropatrick]

No, a girl did it to me and i found it to be special. It shows she is a tough brave chick. A real genuine person. Very rare nowadays. It made her really stand out.

[roland77]

No, you should feel weird about it. It is okay, to want a woman next to you that keeps you safe from harm. Only otherwise, sure I want her safety, too, is a bit one-sided.

[roland77]

+NOT weird about it! #tpzo

[SomeGUYonGAG]

You should get yourself a 6'5 Icelandic woman. Lol

You do you

[UncleJessieRabbit]

I'm 5'7 white and I like tall (or shorter for that matter) white blonde Northern or Eastern European women.

[ZeussLightningBolt]

Why Icelandic?

[SomeGUYonGAG]

Have you seen some of the people over there? They're HUGE. They got giant viking women

[madgoat]

In so far as she's taken ownership of you and demonstrated you are important to her? That sounds kinda nice.

[Nuespeed9948]

Of course not. Caring about someone should go both ways

[Zoi02]

No especially from other girls if you hit her you get bigger trouble.

[ZeussLightningBolt]

Good point

[Zoi02]

I go jail for assault but it’s against another girl. Ask my brothers bullies.

[ZeussLightningBolt]

You went to jail for assaulting a girl who was bullying your brother?

[Zoi02]

Yes he’s 5 she 13 I was 17. Just turned 18.

[Zoi02]

Not jail but slap on the wrist.

[ShineDJJ]

That's not weird to me. No one should expect people to do certain things just because they may or may not have a Y-chromosome.

[suncookie]

lol no that's cute...
I'm always protective of people I care about and I kinda mom them too so...
It makes sense to like it honestly I think most people like it when it's not too possessive

[parjacpar]

No harm in that as we are all different and proves they care for you

[lucas262]

That is the whump effect.
Its nice to know she cares
And its hard to step back and be taken care of or protected.

But there can be things that may be only she could protect you from emotionally.

[Jjpayne]

I asked a question like this semi recently... I feel the same like cherry bomb from the zombie grindhouse movie

[Jjpayne]

Cherry darling planet terror

[theCobbler]

lol, not at all ! Because that would tell me, she truly cares for me!

[Liam_Hayden]

No. Couples and friends should be protective of each other to the best of their ability.

[Snakeyes7]

If anything, I can rest assured she is loyal to me.

[Ceaar]

Well I wouldn't say it's weird to be honest I feel the same and it's like a way to find or look for safety so it's ok

[CubsterShura]

Many guys like some jealousy in their women.

[ZeussLightningBolt]

True, but I wasn't necessarily talking about jealously

[CubsterShura]

I get what you mean.

Protectiveness can stem from jealousy.

[ZeussLightningBolt]

Well, it's kind of the Ranger girl's job to protect us, but it was still a nice gesture

[Vasius]

I personally love it. You know it's real when she does this.

[esotericstory]

No I like it too, when someone talks shit to me and a girl defends me they can't do anything because she's a girl or whatever.

[Floki-raven]

The Amazon is an male Fantasy so no it is not weird

[NorthwestRider]

Not at all. I find it attractive that my fiancée protects me. She has a black belt

[roland77]

Holy sh! t. Yeah, that is some sort of protection!

[roland77]

Serious ass-kicker you got yourself!

[NorthwestRider]

@roland77 And she has guns and plays tackle football

Not the biggest women but she does have muscles

[roland77]

Okay, you still don't have to address her as "Sir" then or being worried about she has more testosterone than you. ;-)

[NorthwestRider]

@roland77 Tomboys are sexy and badass 😉

[Eaglehead]

I can't protect them so it's common for me 😂😂

[ZeussLightningBolt]

Lol.
In IRAN?

[Eaglehead]

Yes 😂

[clampfan101]

Who doesn’t like protection?

[ZeussLightningBolt]

Well, for some people it feels better bare.
I'm pretty sure Mormons aren't allowed to use condoms

[clampfan101]

Oh, I thought you meant protection in general. (With it being under Guy’s Behavior and having that pic.)

[ZeussLightningBolt]

Ugh... someone doesn't understand sarcasm

[clampfan101]

It’s difficult to know with typing. You could have easily meant that, especially with no description. :/

[Guanfei]

It's not that weird. Everyone loves to know someone cares about them.

[scooogy]

@arabgoddess

[arabgoddess]

Lol wtf

[scooogy]

@arabgoddess see it as their manhood 😏

[roland77]

Is it sound-proof against ultra-sound? Those waves will kill your sperms.

[Plitty-Tank]

I don't deem it as weird.

[ZeussLightningBolt]

Okay
Thanks

[AlongCameCindy]

Not weird, shows they care.

[akakiran]

No it's cool seems like she is to much into u

[FictionalCharacter]

Aww, poor little baby

[ZeussLightningBolt]

Lol. What's that supposed to mean?

[stuntbrain]

Probably not

[ZeussLightningBolt]

Okay

[IHateBeingaMan]

i don't consider it weird

[aly34]

Not its not

[ZeussLightningBolt]

Okay

[MackToday]

As a man that would embarrass me.

[ShineDJJ]

I guess you would rather get maimed/murdered, then?

[MackToday]

@ShineDJJ I'm supposed to be the one standing up and protecting her not the other way around. If she has to do it for me, a woman that makes me a failure.

[ShineDJJ]

It doesn't. Don't let people who try to stuff us all into boxes tell you otherwise.

[MackToday]

@ShineDJJ That's nature doing that.

[ShineDJJ]

And survival is an instinct. I would listen to that and let her keep me safe. I'm secure enough in my masculinity to let that happen.

[MackToday]

@ShineDJJ I'm not going to turn down help, maybe she's got a gun or something but most cases it would be embarrassing.

[On_cloud_wine]

Haven't you ever watched the Disney movie Pocahontas? It was about a Powhatan Native American woman who got involved with an Englishman and saved his life by placing her head over his own at the moment of his execution by her own people.

[MackToday]

@On_cloud_wine That's different. I said I wouldn't turn down help.

[On_cloud_wine]

So you’d rather wait until the problem escalated into something bigger. That makes perfect sense.

[MackToday]

@On_cloud_wine No I'd just act different if the problem was different. It's not the same dealing with some loud mouth street thug or wild animal than in a political situation like that.

[On_cloud_wine]

It’s in a women’s nature to be just as protective as a man, not because she feels you can’t.

[On_cloud_wine]

Or maybe I’m just speaking on behalf of myself. I’ll protect those I love.

[MackToday]

@On_cloud_wine No, you probably have a point, that does seem to be the case.

[dthomas89]

They might, if you wind up not protecting them

[flyen]

It is weird. So unmanly.

[Lunatic1]

Slightly, but not as weird as some may say.

[ContinouslyConfused]

Nah its not weird
