Can a woman protect a man and make him feel protected?

Question

Can a woman make a man feel protected by holding him against her chest tightly with her hand in his hair? Is it possible for a man to feel utterly protected, secure and safe in her arms?

Can a woman protect a man (emotionally , physically, financially, health and mentally)? Do you share the protector role in your relationship and who is the bigger protector?

Answer 1

Wow she really adds nothing to this forum-- in any form.

Morbid, how does your woman protect you mentally, i'm curious.

I don't see how a woman can protect a man from anything, possibly the exception being sexual drought. (and in many marriages women actually contribute more to that cause rather than against it from what i've heard)

*edit- Laela

Most of the examples you mentioned of how a woman could 'protect' her man- and mind you I use that very loosely with the examples you gave, admit that you do too- the need for him would be to be 'protected' in those ways could be averted all together if he simply avoided a relationship. So in practice, with those examples Laela gave, the woman is actually the cause of the man's need to be protected.

'Protect him by not wasting his money', 'protect him by not nagging him'-- are you serious?

Answer 2

I dont think I can protect my man from anything nor is it my job to. But I know I make him feel safe and I love that about us.  

Answer 3

Physically, we are perfect for each other. We both protect each other and make each other feel secure. Emotionally and mentally, same thing again. Financially, can't say. I want to be a doctor and he an engineer. Were in high school.

Just ignore those comments. I am a modern fem, yes. But I am also a modern masculanist. The protector is both the woman and the man's job. And yes, he does feel totally secure with me. I may be stronger, but I still feel totally secure with him, as well.

Answer 4

Yes, it's possible.

But it depends on what type of person that woman is.

Answer 5

Each gender has been designed to be suited for a specific role.

This is why destroying gender roles ultimately leads confusion, anger, and further conflict of the sexes.

The man protects the woman physically. His body has roughly 25% more pure muscle mass (often more), his bones are denser, his adrenal system is wired to rise quickly to aggression, his reflexes are faster, his center of gravity is higher, his skin is less sensitive and more durable, etc.

We're built to be the guardians of the physical. That's why we get to go downstairs if there is a burglar.

Women are designed to be protectors of the relationship. A man alone has little or no direction, is fraught with depression, frustration, and unchecked aggression. Women provide the communication, inspiration, direction, and the possibility of creation.

That is why women have 4 times as much communication space in their brains, the ability to chemically make any of the 52 emotions at will, and possess better sense's of smell, taste, touch, and hearing,

If both people are taking charge of their duties, marriage is great. When those duties become politicized and ignored.....disaster!

Answer 6

no, but she can make him feel secure (she loves him) and horny

Answer 7

I protect her financially and physically (although she's no wuss), she protects me mentally and health-wise. We pretty much cover each others back on the emotional thing...  

Answer 8

you got the money honey ive got the time.we can always find out

Answer 9

Yes I am more the protector in my relationship. I love holding him and stroking his hair and holding him in my arms. I work out so I am quite strong anyway but you don't have to be physcially strong to make someone feel protected and loved.

I think that men need to feel as much love and nutured as women do.

Answer 10

I'd say that person has some MAJOR problems.

There's nothing wrong in both partners in a relationship providing emotional comfort to the other, as "needed" (that word loosely interpreted).

I feel sorry for hubby, especially if he suffers any tragedy or hardship and is in serious need of emotional support.

No, all women do NOT feel like that.

Answer 11

Don't let what she said disgust you, because when you read it just a trifle bit carefully she's contradicted herself.  "Safety and protection are a man's job"  Having said that she turned around and said.  "A couple of times I've cuddled my hubby and he's said how safe he felt."

Can a wife financially protect her husband? One way I can think of is not to waste his money.

Can she mentally protect him? Yes, by not brow beating him.

Can she emotionally protect him?  Yes, by making sure his name is good on all accounts, which means keeping herself as proper as possible.

Can she physically protect him?  I guess in the event some unlucky soul refers to him as a t**d and she socks her in the mouth.

Can she protect his health? By cooking good food and making sure she takes care of the food properly.

When she holds his head in her arms it can only show the love she feels for him.
