I can agree with both iq and InLaws about their respective points. I've seen that deep down need for women to feel that you could protect them--even, without fail, from the toughest ball-breaking women I've met who never had need for someone to protect them (they could and would pull that trigger on thier own, thank you very much...)
And, like InLaws, I resented that burden that was placed on me in the past. Maybe he'll take issue with me interpreting "resentment' coming from his post, but that's the feeling I struggled with for so long with exactly those thoughts he used in his post.
Now--I dunno--it doesn't bother me anymore. I don't recall ever specifically addressing it (happened sometime after a year here), but I got over it. You be yourself (you know what I mean--"be a man" type of be yourself) and you can handle what comes your way, and she knows that--and can feel like you can "protect" her, which really means that you handle yourself.
An AFC can't handle himself, let alone her, let alone what comes his way...
To both iqqi and InLaws, I would say "yes."
