He may act the part of the tame and gentle soft spoken guy but LSE say a lot of things that speak of the person who doesn't care much about people who they don't know. The LSE will have weapons for protection like firearms, will boast about their ability to fight someone, will even volunteer in certain situations, get their nose broken and laugh about it later on. SLI too can be this way. So, it's some sort of protective "man's man" nature of ST that I like since I'm tiny, soft spoken, it makes me feel as though I'll be ok in the physical regard. I say this because watch me jump two feet in the air of fright and watch an LSE comfort me then you'll know what it is that I'm talking about
LSE's I know can be protective, but the strongest quality I see is independence. My LSE brother - super independent, always was - expects that quality in everyone else.He seems to go for that quality in women, too. Independent and one he can laugh with. Also my EII friend who has been seriously dating a LSE - I can see this in him, too. However, I know you are very independent, so, you must be differentiating the quality of needing protection and independence.

As to @Cubozoan's OP, Yes, i see this. My EII sis-in-law is married to her SLE conflictor and their union has been full of conflict. They are making it work, but its hard for both. EII regrets that she "worked" to get him/attract him, those years back, and that she got what she wanted. She set her sights on him, and probably because he was protective. He seemed stable, hard-working, made a good dollar and could take care of her. All those things were true, but the J/P difference (rational/irrational) gets super-pronounced in Conflictor relations. A LSE also would be stable, hard-working, make a good dollar and take care of her. EII woudl feel safe and happy and being taken-care-of does not mean she is lazy. EIIs live productive lives, too, so LSE would respect her and take interest in her doings. Whereas SLE thinks her "rules" of living and her rants about things that "don't matter" are all too much, and he feels trapped with her ways.
