That still wants to view my guy as a protector? I can take care of myself, make my own income, build my own shoe shelf, and all the little things, but I would still like to feel like my partner is the protector. Is this too old fashioned? Would like to know what others think.

luvz....It's not too old fashioned for me....It's not always a question of what we are capable of doing for ourselves, is it? Sometimes it just feels good to know we are protected!
Good question.
Fondly,
KK

Nope you're not. Sometimes I just need to feel safe and protected. I can do all the things that need doing too, but it's so much better sharing the load.

My lady can be the most self sufficient lady in the world and I'd still do my best to protect and support her.

I think there's many women (and men) who still would like to feel protected by their partner. I believe that we all want to feel like someone "has our back" so to speak and will be there for us in good times and bad. This is not old fashioned in my opinion, it's the very reason why we seek out a relationship.

I know that with the changes in society over the last two generations, that women can be, and are, more self sufficient.
I would like to be viewed as a kind of guy that can be a protector, provider, peace-maker, and prayer warrior.
The idea is not old-fashioned. I would guess most people here that are looking for a long term relationship are seeking that special someone that is not afraid to offer and provide comfort, peace and safety in their lives.
I like what MagTag said:

just more ramblings from a caffeine addict! ~smiles~

I think it is appropriate for a lady to want her man to be her protector! I know it in our best interest, and it shows a mans priority towards his lady to do his best to be a protection for his family! A man must be proud of his family and provide the best he can including his ability to be a fortress for his wife and children.I am sure it gives great security to a lady knowing she can depend on her man.

No, luvzhugz...You are not the only one...I would like that very much too.
As much as I like to be independent and to be able to take care of myself in this big and scary world, I would also like to know that there is someone out there who is looking out for me.
However, it is a very fine balance trying to protect someone without stepping on their independence. And I can understand that men are often getting very confusing signals from women.

I agree with you 1000% I'm an independent lady here in Virginia...There are a great many things I can do for my self yet I know I can't do everything and it would be wonderful to have a good man by my side..to put his arms around me and tell me everything is gonna be just fine!
