Men, what makes you want to protect a woman?

[Anonymous]

I’ve never had men (besides family) protect me from anything. Usually, I end up protecting myself or get myself out of bad situations without help.

Caring about her. But that doesn't necessarily mean "caring" about her. It can be some girl you don't even know (depending on the situation). But I don't know if I can even explain it. It's a matter of "you want to protect here if you can"... but it's... automatic.

If you care about a girl (or even her well-being in an abstract sense. Like "that girl over there across the street") then you feel this automatic instinct to protect her. The more you care about her the stronger that instinct... or maybe it's that a guy feels it's more his "duty" if it's someone who he knows and cares about... I'm not sure.

To be honest, it doesn't take much to trigger that instinct. Hell I'll feel 'protective' over somebody I chat with on here, who explains their in a tough situation.

Well damn. I thought this was going to be easy to answer. But... it's really not. It's something that I'm so familiar with, but am having a really tough time trying to explain (which I genuinely wasn't expecting). But guys feel protective over a girl because he cares about her on some level. There's a whole lot about "duty" and gender-obligations tangled-up in there... which frankly I've never really thought about. (and so can't explain). But I think "caring" is what it's based on.

Love I guess. I generally don't step in to protect and help any woman who isn't my wife, daughter, mother, aunt cousin, niece, friend etc.

For Instance I once rescued a 10 year old girl from a lorry reversing. Her mother called the police saying I had assaulted her and was a perv and still insisted this was the case despite witnesses and cctv didn't redacted accusation. I was glad I did. Another time a couple were agreed and the guy slapped her and my buddy went over to teach him to respect a lady despite me warning him, anyway the woman glassed him and he hit her a box.

If a man cares deeply about a woman, then he will likely step up to defend her if he feels such action could make a difference. Some men lack the confidence or skills to adopt that mindset, others don't care about odds of success and will die defending that which they love. Ultimately it's up to the value placed on the woman by the man to decide when, how, and why to come to her defense.

1) When she nurtures/contributes to me on personal level. It shows in her action.

2) When she asks for help.

3) When she is respectful towards me.

4) When she knows how to properly communication!..

[WellGreetingsISay]

I want to protect women who I can see needing it. Even if I don't know them.
I do that with men who need it too tho so I just want to protect.

[Mansearching]

Its nature. Males always protect females. But if a female can protect themselves, then great. I applaud that. It also depends on the situation.

[Bklynbadboy12]

I have sisters and a mother you can't abuse a woman around me I'll intervene

Attraction or a bond.
