What do women feel they need protection from?

Question

I often hear women state this as why they choose the partners they do...but it couldn't be a natural disaster or a nuclear weapon...so it must be on a more emotional note that women need protection.

Please Clarify!

Also the likelihood of anyone being able to alter certain situations is impossible in almost all possible ways you approach them...i.e. a bank robbery, an assault, theft, etc. It is more than conceivable that your partner wouldn't even be present when these acts transpire...so the logical assertion would be to map out what in fact circumstance (plausible) could your partner actually protect your from?

Answer 1

I'm not sure I can totally explain how I feel,
but when a strong man puts his big
arms around me I melt . I feel as if
nothing can touch me . I feel security ,
love , safety , and protected from the
big bad world around me .

Answer 2

I would say it is definitely on a more emotional note, at least for me. Yet it's not necessarily that I want protection from something in particular I just like to feel protected and safe. Where I can be and let be without the fear that - that you won't hurt each other emotionally and feel at home with each other.

It's like a security blanket when you're a kid, which can keep the monsters from under your bed away even though you know deep down that there's nothing your blanket can do for you should a monster really come out to get you but just the fact that it's there makes you feel better.
