Guys, do you need to feel “protective” & reliable of a woman to pursue a relationship?

protective would imply that she would be in danger or vulnerable

so, no... I don't like that situation, it is a negative thing

I very much prefer that she feels reassured that, if anything happens or could happen in which she could be in danger or vulnerable, or needs support in any way... yes I am going to be there for her, and care, and support, and also protect her in any way I know I can do it

even if I can't, I am still going to do it... reliable and resourceful is something I am as well

No, I care more that we are on the same level. Feeling like I can protect her does feel great, but its not a must in the relationship. If she can take care of herself I'd still value the deep connection we'd have in everything else.

Protective? Maybe not that much or maybe yeah. Would depend on how I feel about her.
Reliable? Yeah most definitely.

It's been ingrained in man to be the protector and the provider of his family. The family begins at marriage or when they both feel as necessary to be a strong couple. Becomes even stronger when children come into the family unit.

Yes I'm naturally protective and reliable tho so it comes with the package weither they want it or not 😂

[FenixG45]

No, I DON'T need to feel “protective”, but it does come naturally when pursuing a relationship.

What do you mean by "reliable of a woman to pursue a relationship"?

[Bismarck_96]

Protective yes since there’s people who’ll lay eyes on your partner

[Bklynbadboy12]

Not always but what we have to be is compatible and we have to have chemistry. What about you

[muscles_glasses]

I see I was the inspiration for your question
