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

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 :)
