Ladies, how protective are your male friends? And men, how protective are you of your female friends? (Page 2)

Question

I'm asking because I have noticed that my male friends have different degrees of how protective they are of me. For example when a violent patient attacked me, it was my male co-worker and friend that saved me. He admitted to me that his first thought was "she can handle herself but I'll make sure she's okay when I get done here." When he realized that it was a very violent patient, he said he dropped the meds he was carrying along with his clipboard and ran to help me. And another male friend is making me think he might be interested. He's fiercely protective of me. When a confused patient called me derogatory terms, I didn't even open my mouth before he was already defending me. He got a little carried away because it was clear he was upset and he yelled at my patient before I calmed him down. He later apologized and said he got upset because he doesn't want to see me treated that way. It did work. That patient was never rude to me again and she apologized.  Also, the fact that both my examples were from work shows I work too much.

I don’t have any friends of opposite sex these days.  Long ago I did and he wasn’t so much protective but he did scream at someone who called me chubby lmao.

I can count the times on one hand when a female friend stuck up for me.

It’s most helpful when another female is being a cunt and running her mouth insulting me while abusing her female privelege (she knows I can’t hit her or making threatening remarks to defend myself). In THOSE scenarios its nice to have a tough female friend. She can say and do things to the bitch that I can’t.

I am selectively protective of all my friends. If someone starts shit with them, I will throw down. If they start shit with someone else, they're on their own.

Not at all protective really. Then again the few times I actually needed help I was all on my own so guess we’ll never know. I still think they probably would just run off though 😂

I'm very protective of my female friends. If we are at a bar and walking through a crowd I put my hand out so no guys try to grab their butt as we are walking by.

Let me put it this way, I found out my sister was sexually assaulted, I literally considered saving up for a flight to the opposite coast with my brother and honorary brother and killing a man I had never met because he hurt my sister.

My best friend is a girl and while she is very capable of looking after herself, probably more than I am, I just care so I can be protective, not necessarily because I think she needs it, but just because I want to look out for her and have her back. She's aware of it too though so if she can't be bothered deal with an annoying guy she'll set me on him😂

It really depends. I've had several female friends that just invite drama so In those cases I let them shovel their own shit. Others it is just instinct to be protective of.

Moonshine9 · Answer

Hmmm, this could go either way. He may be just keeping you safe or he may like you, tough call. I've defended female co workers and not been into them. But as a rule of thumb I don't date who I work with. Ask him some personal questions and see if he answers lol if he does he could be into you and is choosing not to keep his powder dry.

I'll make sure she gets home safely. But I'm not there to protect her honor by beating up every guy who calls her a "whore" or a "slut". That's up to her.
