Do men have a natural instinct to protect woman? Or is this learned behaviour?
It's natural instinct for men to fight over women to get laid. The "protection" issue is mainly an excuse to fight over a woman, while at the same time try to look like he is some kind of noble guy. Usually, it's either a tactic to get laid or he has been heavily influenced (warped) by women in his life. Or he went to your average state university, which is the foundation of all feminist power. ABC and their absolutely stupid "What Would You Do" series, they had an actor shaking and yelling at an actress and try to see if people try to protect a woman (this seems like their favorite scenario). From the ones I have seen, men usually wanted to mind their own business and if they had a gf with them, she tried to volunteer him to go intervene.
Why are guy friends so protective?
Many reasons. Sometimes, they are your friends because they like you, but usually they just want to protect you. It's natural instinct for guys to protect women (isn't that sweet? *hugs*, guys!) They know firsthand how guys are, and don't want to see their friend hurt. They may have seen the guy mistreating other girls. They may have heard the guy talking about wanting to take advantage of you, or otherwise disrespecting you. The guy may just be a douchebag and your friend sees it. Guys have rules of conduct (just as girls do) and one of them isn't to rat each other out. Just because a guy friend doesn't say outright that the prospective boyfriend is an asshole, doesn't mean that he isn't. Guys who get in the way of other guys getting laid ("cockblockers") are generally looked down upon by other guys, and will be efficiently punished.
Why are guys always protective of their girlfriends?
I really want to know why? Like most of my female friends are usually okay if their man goes out. But when the girlfriend goes out with out them being their its another story yes I know it shows they don't want the girlfriend to leave, but why are most men usually aggressive? (I don't say all men do this) Is there a good reason?
Do guys naturally feel protective over women (especially the ones they are close to)?
In my experience yes. This also goes for women as well but is particularly strong in men. Goes back to cave man years. He needed to protect his woman as she was looking after his cave and his off spring. This is why men also like women who are strong in character and who are loyal. It means they can concentrate on going out and bringing home the bacon without having to worry about anything else. Which in turn is also a “protective” thing. They want to provide strong walls and a good home with food on the table. They also understand the importance of strong alliances with friends and family so will protect those in their “clan”.In fact when dating if you tell a man that you feel safe around him you will normally see him grow an extra inch as it ignites the masculinity in him. It is a very powerful compliment to give a man.Men being protective over women has been the cause of many to do highly dangerous things and act very out of character. It is generally a very strong emotion in men. Many a bar brawl has been had over protecting women. A friend of mine will not stand any bad behaviour towards any of his friends but it is particularly noticeable with his partners and female friends. He once grabbed a man who was fighting another (started over a woman) and threw him quite some distance because the fight was coming near me… There is no romantic attachments between us, he was just protecting me as the female in the group. This man is normally very gentle and kind. But he was not allowing any danger or unseemly behaviour near me. The other men in the group also squared up and were not going to allow the fight to continue anywhere near them and in particular me. It was like having a wall around me, protecting me. They did not look for it, did not start it, but they certainly finished it.Men who are not protective have something a bit wrong in them or they just do not care about that woman as a person. She is irreverent to him. It is a natural instinct that remains strong in men. Its as strong as the need to eat, drink, breath and procreate.
Why would a guy friend get overly possessive over his female friend?
Assuming that he’s not your boyfriend it appears that he might be thinking otherwise. Hopefully, you haven’t given him any reason for him to think he is. Or, he just thinks he is because you’ve given him the attention he’s looking for which may not be your fault.In any case I suggest that you exercise caution in your contacts with him. His possessiveness, mad manner and overly concern is not a healthy sign. There are cases where a person with these traits have a tendency to become more aggressive and possibly violent as the contact continues.Again, assuming that I’m right, for your safety, do not go out or meet with him by yourself until you are sure of where he’s coming from. Also, when he gets mad, ask him why. His answer should give you a good clue of his thinking. His overly concern may also be his way of trying to tell you that he cares in order to win you over. Don’t take it to heart. It may just be a ploy.If you’re not interested in him as a boyfriend he needs to know that asap. If you already already told him, you may have to repeat yourself to get him to understand where you’re coming from. If he doesn’t, end the friendship.Hope this helps.
How do I get over my over-possessive nature towards my girl friend?
Firstly, has your girlfriend actually given you any reason to think that she might be unfaithful? You need to decide whether your over-possessive nature is being caused by her behaviour, not just yours. It’s normal to feel a little insecure about your partner - if you don’t then very often the romance has died but if you are finding your behaviours are veering towards the controlling then you do need to step back and think about what you are doing.How does your over-possessiveness manifest itself? There’s a difference between being uneasy about her going out with her friends on a night out without you and demanding that she stay in with you or “it’s over”. In the same way, it’s normal to wonder how is calling her on the phone late at night but it is unreasonable to demand she hand over her phone so you can monitor her messages.Are you spying on her? Following her? Putting pressure on her to drop her friends and not spend time with her family? Behaviours like these may mean you should seek professional counselling.If there is no reason to suspect that she has broken your trust, then you have to develop the maturity to give her some space or you will drive her away.If she is flirting openly with others then you need to have a conversation with her about this and agree between you what is an acceptable level of flirtatiousness for the relationship to continue.I think you will find an open conversation with your girlfriend will help a lot and probably allay most of your fears.
Protective men over women?
Men are protective over women for a number of reasons, me personally; i am very protective over my "girlfriends" (girls who are friends) because i hate to see them get hurt, i never tell them what to do or anything, but i tell them if they are making a stupid decision or being played, ha ha so im basically totally honest with them. For many other men it's jealously, or insecurities and trust issues. But then there's other reasons, like a guy hitting on your girlfriend at a bar or party (my case) purely because, being guys, know what they want from our girlfriends. So yeah it is normal (for me anyway) for guys to be protective over friends and girlfriends, especially if they have been drinking or a rough party or something. I happen to treat my some of my friends who are girls, like if they were my girlfriend, and i guess they don't care because they would tell me (were VERY open). I even don't drink at some parties if i know its rough there and they are going be drinking heaps :P Hope it helps :) P.S. Then there are some guys who are total wankers, and just think that every girl loves them to death so they have a right to be extremely protective over there friends and girlfriend, so much so it stops them having fun and causes fights. Get rid of them.
Why are guys so protective?
I was just wondering why guys are so protective. I mean not just over their girlfriend or friends but sometimes just girls they don't even really know. For example if they knew of a girl who was being physically abused by her boyfriend they wouldn't exactly be against punching him a couple of times. Why is this?
What makes guys so protective of girls?
It's pretty much in their makeup. It's only natural for a guy to feel the need to be protective of the girl. That's how it's supposed to be. Plus women tend to be vulnerable so guys automatically get the urge to protect them. Unfortunately though not all guys are like that and can be rather cruel. It's all about how they were raised and how they mentally develop.
