I hear so many women on gag talk about how they want a man who can protect her, but I'm more attracted to independent women who can take care of themselves and pay their own bills. I feel like my job is to protect my child not some grown ass woman.

@KrakenAttackin
Yup. That conversation you had with Coach Low-T confirms it. He's a complete fucking simp. Any man who would throw another man under the bus to protect a random asshole of a woman who does things like paternity fraud, is no man worth respecting. "Get a good attorney." Who the FUCK says this? That's the male equivalent of "she was asking for it." I'd bet dollars on it that he's also "Team Amber," too. Jesus... Men can be depressed and suicidal and you'll still have fucking male feminist chodes like that saying the most terrible shit.
I'm commenting this on your own thread, so I don't have to deal with that feminist bitch. Society in general doesn't care about men, and never have. Once women stop caring about men, those obligations to "protect or look after them" are no longer obligations. It takes a man of sound mind and body to do that. And well... Who in this society is still of sound mind and body besides the wealthy? If they even count.
Like I said on my own post, this is a symptom of the collapse of Western civilization, as we know it. When every would-be wife is now an internet whore or a lesbian, men have no family to look forward to starting, assuming they're even "good enough" for so many of today's entitled, shitty women. Which leads to men opting out of dating, so they can at least salvage some personal happiness, instead of being a house slave. Which leads to the 2020s we have today.
TL;DR: Society is broken. That's why we have men like OP asking questions like this. No one wants this society, but this is what we're living in right now.

+1 yYes, it is bad - most men are naturally stronger than women but even if he's not, there has to be that desire or willingness to try and protect you. I would try and protect him, not because I am filling any gender role, but because I liked/loved him and wouldn't want him to be harmed. I wouldn't send him down alone to check on an intruder, I would follow him down with a bat too! I don't care about gender roles, I would do what I would normally do but whether it's paying for a meal, being protective, it's attractive. I don't need his money or protection necessarily but it's nice to know he's offered or tried. Just like a man would appreciate it that you had his back/offered/tried or actually paid for a meal. It's called a healthy relationship - I think you just need to meet the kind of woman who brings it out in you. I can't imagine you are going to be like this with all women otherwise you're going to be miserable and make her miserable. That said, not all women deserve this kind of man, not if they do not offer the same energy in return.
35 Reply
Asker+1 yI appreciate the part about you wanting to be by his side, but I only respect the part about him paying for meals and being your protector being attractive, you should know that those are gender roles, and I'm sure a lot of men would find her cooking and cleaning to be attractive as well. Are you willing to do those things?
- +1 y
Of course, why would I not? I like a clean house and I want to eat home cooked meals, whilst it would be nice if he chipped in and cooked occasionally, I would expect to be doing most of it. If he's already tidy then I would clean up and expect him to be the same and not create a mess for me to clean up. If you like/love someone you buy things for them, you cook for them, clean up after them sometimes, you try and look after them if they are ill - surely you had this with the women you have been with?
Asker+1 yYes absolutely.
Loving and caring for each other should be a two way deal and I agree with your mindset.- +1 y
It is a two way deal and if one of you doing your share and she isn't it, then I don't blame you for not wanting to bother doing what's expected of you. Some women want all the advantages of being a man and a woman but none of the things they don't like - forget that.
Asker+1 yI appreciate your honest answer, thank you.
Find yourself a woman who is willing to jump into a fight to pull you out, and you will realise how wrong you are.
When you love someone, you will do anything to protect him/her. Period.
I would try my best to get my lady out of a bad situation, instead of trying to "shield" her. No point in me trying to be macho and ending up getting injured anyway. And I would expect the exact same from her when I am in a pickle.
There was a car accident a few months ago here. Burning wreck, but the driver's girlfriend sustained burns over 80% of her body trying to pull him out. I also heard of a woman who wrapped herself around her boyfriend's head in a fight so he would not sustain any neck and brain injuries. That is the kind of love you should have in any relationship. Selfless love. Willing to do anything to save/protect your partner.
Any good person wants to provide for their partner. It is an expression of love. It could come in the form of providing a clean home. Or paying the bills. Or making dinner. Providing for someone is a must-have in any relationship.
And to all the ladies saying that they expect their man to defend them without having the same expectation for themselves, two is always better than one. Home intruder? Get down there with your husband, frying pan in hand. Situation at a bar? Grab a few men and a broken beer bottle, get them to help you get your man away from danger. Nobody is asking you to be a good fighter, but you should also live up to your own expectations and be there with your man if the situation arises. He will will appreciate it.20 ReplyA lot of it is more the idea than the reality of like, being attacked every day or even ever being attacked, however I will say, if I am ever attacked by anything or anyone, I will be running or otherwise trying to get away and I will expect him to defend me. If we ever hear a suspicious noise in the apartment at night I am not checking, he is checking. Nobody has to agree to do that but nobody has to date any particular person either and I would not date a guy who is not OK with that. JMO!

Asker+1 yI choose to live separately.
You should call 911 when you have an emergency.- +1 y
Think it through in a realistic way. Let's say we are in bed at night and I hear something weird downstairs that makes me think it is possible somebody is in the house. Probably that is not what is going on but maybe.
So let's say I go check myself. Most likely I don't find anything dangerous but if there IS somebody in the house something really bad happens (you can fill in the blanks about what might happen to me in this situation).
Let's say I call 911, they show up in 10 minutes and I have to meet them at the door which means walking right through where somebody MIGHT be and they check and find nothing and I get in trouble for an unnecessary 911 call, OR, there is somebody there and if I survive 10 minutes until police arrive and manage to get to the door safely and am not grabbed as a hostage or something the police come in and arrest him and everything is OK but, notice how many times I used the word "if"!
Let's say I send my fiance down to check, he prob. comes back up and tells me he didn't find anything and we can go back to sleep or if there IS somebody hopefully he scares them off and they run away or at least he can possibly fight them and then I call 911.
Which option do you choose?
Asker+1 yOh my goodness how do any single women ever survive living on their own?
First off, you aren't going to get in trouble for calling the police if you feel legitimately threatened or scared for your life, they also work for you and it's their job to respond, or what are they good for?
Secondly, if there was an intruder he's gonna shoot your fiance in the head because he was stupid enough to go downstairs thinking he's Jean Claude Van Damme rather than locking the bedroom, calling 911, and climbing out the damn window.
In conclusion, I would protect my wife if I love her, but if she's the kind of sexist person who thinks it's my job, she better be cooking and cleaning and fulfilling her outdated gender roles as well.- +1 y
Most of the time noises are not anybody breaking in, so far it has never been somebody breaking in where I have lived. Sometimes you never figure out what the noise was, sometimes it is something random like something that you left sitting unbalanced slowly shifted and finally fell over, or maybe it's some device making a noise or whatever, so I am supposed to call 911 for that, and as far as him thinking he is Jean Clade Van Damme again we are talking about a situation that is PROBABLY nothing just making sure, but if it IS somebody, I mean do you think all burglars are supervillains out to kill people, they would prob. rather run than deal with any conflict, that said if there was any kind of fight the risk is just a lot higher for me. And you keep saying this is the ONLY purpose for men or something, who other than you has said that, it is just something that makes sense if you are in a relationship and one of you is 180 pounds and can lift three times as much weight and v. few people would want to rape, and the other one of you is 125 pounds and can lift one third as much weight and a lot of people would want to rape, this conversation is getting like, I don't want to be argumentative but surely you realize most of what I am saying? It is pretty obvious stuff.
Asker+1 yI was married a long time and unloke your delusions we actually did have junkies trying to get into our place at night, and yes, they would've tried to kill me because they were fucked up on drugs like most people who do home invasions. The difference in my situation is that my wife never expected me to protect her, and we were both similar in size, but I did it anyway because we loved each other and she didn't choose me to be her bodyguard. Women who have these preconcieved standards of choosing her partner based on his ability to protect are disrespectful to men in my opinion and need to treat men better before they deserve us to put our lives on the line for them.

You did it anyway and were not shot in the head, are you Jean Claude Van Damme? jk!
What you just described is EXACTLY what I have been trying to tell you! Except for this factor you keep bringing in about you thinking we, I don't know, make guys fill out an application that includes swearing to be our bodyguards and the only reason we date is so they will be our bodyguards, it is JUST AS SIMPLE AS IT MAKES SENSE for the guy to protect the girl in many (not all) relationships and situations. Even if you were about the same size you were probably still less likely to get clobbered in a fight and less likely to be raped, that is all!
Asker+1 yI would protect her, but for you I would run away.

Well I am just curious how you managed to protect her since burglars are supervillains who will shoot you in the head, I mean that is not true but it's something you said earlier just to argue with something I said. I also am curious why you would protect her but find me sexist and entitled when as far as I can tell from your story, she and I have the exact same opinion about this topic you just were with her irl and are talking to me on this web site, but both of us (and nearly all humans) think it makes sense for the guy to protect the girl from physical dangers like intruders. Actually don't worry about answering I am kind of bored of posting the same super obvious stuff over and over, I think you are upset about something in your life and I hope that gets better but as far as this debate, it's not really interesting at this point you can just say the same thing a few more times.
Asker+1 ySure run away.
Listen, Two junkies were trying to kick our front door in. I was waiting for them and my wife came to the kitchen to help because she isn't a sexist coward like you. I told her that someone should go stay with the baby. They didn't get in BECAUSE SHE CALLED THE POLICE.

Anonymous(45 Plus)+1 yFeminism Has Liberated Men by insisting that women are physically equal to men and do not need men.
So men have taken that to mean that they no longer have to marry, they can take jobs that give them just enough earnings to be comfortable,
By not having to support a family, to not do killing amounts of overtime working more hours than living,
Not having take on debt through mortgages,
They can now pursue any hobby,
Just be a bachelor and interacting or not with women as the mood takes them.
Well done feminists you created this and you are now learning about the law of unintended consequences.
10 ReplyFor 60 years the female collective has screetched hate at us, told us that we were not needed or wanted and said that they wanted us dead (#KillAllMen).
The female collective lobbied successfully to have laws reframed, so that men were destroyed in divorce courts and denied natural justice.
The legal situation has been made so dire for men that it has become too dangerous to say “good morning” to a female, or to be anywhere in the vicinity of a female without CCTV or similar that can be used as evidence after a false allegation has been made.
Why would any sane man be interested in protecting or providing for members of the female collective?

Well then don't peruse those kinds of women. There are plenty of men who take pride in defending those who are more physically vulnerable which isn't a sexist mindset just a biological fact. Men are women's only natural predator, and in general are at a significant physical disadvantage when it comes to strength. It's only natural for people to want to feel safe with their significant other, and having the security of know that if push comes to shove, they will go to bat for you if necessary.
Asker+1 ySo if a man's job is to protect a woman because she's biologically inferior, what's her job in the relationship?
Asker+1 yI would also appreciate if she would protect me by not giving random people the middle finger in traffic, or mouthing off to random men in public because he cut in line, or arguing with drunk guys in bars because more often than not these are the kinds of "Dangerous situations" that women have gotten me into and expected me to fight some guy to the death because she can't
stop running her mouth.
Asker+1 yOther women should also understand that a man is more than just some big dummy to use as a bodyguard, and we deserve to be protected and treated as human beings as well.
Here's the key... have you ever been asked if you want to accept the rights and responsibilities of your gender role?
Because if that's a role you're forced into, then it's not a healthy one. That's something that you yourself need to decide if you want to consent to that. Regressing to gaining the protects of a child and all that isn't an option, but whether or not you choose to accept the pros and cons of being a man is.10 Reply928 opinions shared on Guy's Behavior topic. I don’t think the whole idea of protecting women is meant to be taken literally. It’s not like there are lots of people wielding swords (*guns) on the streets threatening women on the daily.
It’s more for the sentiment of having your partner’s back and supporting them. Not necessarily financially as women are basically on par with men in terms of employment rates.048 Reply
Asker+1 ySome of them here specifically mention that he has to wrap his big strong arms around her and it makes her feel safe. They like to feel protected.
I could see if that statement was from my child or something when she's had a bad dream or needs a hug after something scared her.
When we're talking about adult women I would appreciate if she said that she wants to be in a relationship where you take care of each other, not just this one-sided theme I see here.- +1 y
Well I think a lot of this is based on instinct that goes back thousands or millions of years, it is not like I am literally attacked by people or, I don't know wolves or whatever on a daily basis, but if I AM attacked I expect him to protect me, and psychologically it does make me feel safe for him to be there or to put his arm around me like you mentioned.
I help and support him also but, I am not the ideal person to fight a mugger off or (staying w the example from earlier) fight a wolf, in a desperate situation I would try to help but fighting is not really my greatest ability!! For a more realistic example if we were at a bar and a drunk guy picked a fight w my fiance I would get away from the drunk guy and then try to get help or security or police I would not go fight the drunk guy, vs if a drunk guy picked a fight w me I would try to get behind my fiance and expect him to do what he had to do to keep me safe including fighting.

It is not an "only" thing like the only reason you date somebody is to have a bodyguard, however that is one of the things about being in a relationship that you have diff. strengths and weaknesses and diff. abilities and you share those abilities so you are both better off, in this case we are focusing on one particular thing (protection from attackers or the psychology of feeling physically protected) but a good relationship is v. mutual, I do lots of things for him it just isn't fighting anybody or making him feel safe bc I am willing to fight anybody.
I have babysat 12 year olds who I am pretty sure could beat me up I am not who you want as a bodyguard lol.

I don't want a bodyguard, if I needed one I would hire an actual bodyguard and pay that person for their services.

Well I would hope that you value anyone you are with romantically... if you dont than you shouldn't be with them
Asker+1 yI would hope women would value men enough not to treat him like it's his job to protect her too. Men are human beings, not guard dogs for you.

Why protect someone that is offended by the concept of being protected?

@KrakenAttackin because unless they say they don’t want your help, that’s what a decent human being does. Take paramedics for example, they can’t help anyone that tells them not to, so even if some guy is obviously having a heart attack they can’t touch him.. until he passes out and then it’s cpr all the way to the hospital. At the end of the day, you protect that which you value.
Asker+1 yParamedics are paid to help you, your partner is not your employee.
At the end of the day if you're truly a grown woman and a feminist, you should be able to take care of yourself. Your partner is just a person in your life who you love and enjoy spending time with. The police, fire department, and paramedics are there to serve you, your partner isn't. He may help you if he chooses to do so, but it isn't his job.
Asker+1 yNow hop in your piece of shit Subaru and drive away.

You would have to be a real piece of shit to not give your girlfriend the Heimlich or CPR for a heart attack because you believe that truly grown woman should be able to take care of their self... because that's not your job... seriously?
Asker+1 yIf you're so worried about choking why don't you get your mommy to cut your food up for you. Then shut up for once and chew. I haven't choked on my food since I was 8 years old, get your shit together lady.

Almost 5 thousand people died from choking last year... why do you think almost everyone is taught the Helmich and CPR. If your girlfriend was choking in front of you and you did nothing to help just to prove a point, you're a horrible person and shouldn't date anyone at all
Asker+1 yI can't wait until you choke.
Asker+1 yBesides I'm a better person than you will ever be and I raised a child on my own. If you need a man to take care of you, you're truly pathetic.
I never had a man protect me or pay my bills (not that I expect either one). But, I honestly thought having a partner who wants to protect you from harm is a good thing. Then again we’ll die at some point so I’ll happily sacrifice my life 😊

Asker+1 yI just feel a bit objectified as the "Protector" like it's my job or something when in reality a smart, mature, adult woman can mostly fend for herself.

There are for sure women who don't look for that protection and who would even feel annoyed by being considered constantly incapable and not confident enough. Even around your age range, especially... Single mothers for example grown their skin thick by circumstance at some point, as they must work & housekeeping & all the full parenthood.

Yeah, I respect women who can mostly take care of themselves. Of course I would die for her if needed, but I just appreciate some of the women who look at men as if his main duty is her safety and he has to be a big guy to keep her safe. When I hear that I feel like telling them to grow up. Men are also human beings and I don't have time for a woman who's so much trouble that she needs constant protection.
Asker+1 y*Don't appreciate.
