Desire for the protection of women close to oneself

[Ezra]

Is this inherent within most males or is it more to do with a particular romantic style, such as Caregiver or Victim? I'm not talking about protection that stems from jealousy, insecurity or a pure wish to get into the woman's pants, but a genuine desire to protect women who are close to you.

sounds like & to me.

I think this trait is pretty universal. Probably some mix of evolutionary need and in many cases instantiated in cultural mores. I wouldn't say it's so much type-related except in how the particular person would go about the protecting.

[Gilly]

Sounds testicle-related to me.

[cracka]

Sounds testicle-related to me.

I concur.

[Steve]

Sounds testicle-related to me.

Ya.

I will protect anyone who is close to me, whether a girl, friends, family or whatever.

Sounds more like an evolutionary development that helped ensure the survival of populations.

That's pretty much what I was thinking.

[FDG]

If an animal specie is divided into two sexes, two cases can arise: either one of the sexes is stronger than the other, or they are both equally strong. If the former is what prevails, then the stronger sex will behave in such a way typically associated with "protection". Obviously the two distributions - with strenght on the x axis - overlap to a certain extent, so there are some women stronger than some men.

[aestrivex]

doesnt sound like something that would be generally type related.

[implied]

why are you attributing it to testicles in ezra's case?

Thank you for clarifying. Definite difference.

[PotatoSpirit]

Well I agree, usually the desire is slightly different in my case (c:

But as far as the protection goes, I get that towards Ni, males too but females more. Probably for cultural and, as Logos said, evolutionary reasons.

[XoX]

Are we talking mainly about physical protection as in protection against aggressions or a general "care taking" behavior?

I don't really think it is much socionics related.

It might just be a guy thing.
If I was to say a very general sort of remark, IME, I've noticed S types being more openly protective, but that really doesn't say much. A lot of it is probably just instinctual, or even cultural.

[Joy]

wth's up with this talk about ezra?

I don't know... apparently his masculinity is in question.

arm wrestle? not you and me!

[munenori2]

Yeah, what's wrong with Ezra? I've always found him to be pretty entertaining.

I've noticed I often have the desire to protect close friends if I feel they need it. I rarely know how to though, which saddens me at times. I don't know whether I'd be any different towards males or not, since all my close friends are female.
