Do you like feeling safe with someone.?

I'm a guy, but hell yes I like feeling safe with whoever I'm with. Maybe that's not in a literal physical sense, but on a spiritual level, can you really say that you've never felt safer when you're really close to someone? When I really love someone, the trust that I feel around them lets me take down a lot more of my walls than I usually would. I feel safe then, and I really like that. And, if I had a girl who was the sort to physically protect me, I think I'd like that too. Not that I feel like I need all that much protection, but if you've got someone who's willing to protect you, then it really speaks to how they feel about you.

HEY! You took those words right out of my mouth! Give them back!

But yes, in a good relationship, just being with the person makes you feel "safe" on an emotional level, even if they aren't actually physically protecting you. And if they CAN defend you...it's all about the fact that there is someone willing to defend you.

I hardly ever feel safe. If a woman could do that, sure, go ahead. But even if said woman was to somehow rid me of my multiple paranoias, I'd still think she was about to backstab me.

As for me protecting someone else, that's about the only thing I can offer people in a relationship, so yeah, I'd protect them. Thing is I don't look like I could protect anyone, but I have a habit of losing it completely if someone decides to mess with someone I care about.

This is an interesting one for me, I think. Certainly I'd like to be in the protective role, and I am somewhat taller than my girlfriend, but when it comes to things physical she generally seems a hell of a lot more competent than me (to the point it's become bit of a running joke for me to find things that I'm better than her at). Emotionally I think we're both fairly stable, though I feel a lot more secure around her. What worries me now is how insecure I feel when she's not around, though this is something I'm going to have to learn to deal with.

I don't really care about feeling safe. I can take care of my self.
And it's always the one that you feel the safest around that will stab you in the back. The untrustworthy ones are surprisingly safer since you can predict that they're going to backstab you.

keep your enemies close, and your friends closer.

I am a male, and I also like the feeling of being protected by women. There is nothing "emasculating" about a female caring enough about me to keep me safe also. True love involves reciprocal caring! More movies should portray a male "damsel in distress" being rescued by a female. I would find that romantic.
