Glad what you're saying sounds positive, glad you sound happy, and no offense intended at all, but it also sounds a bit metrosexual, like these 'demasculinized' new kids these days. My wife says I make [i]her[/i] feel safe. She knows that, at the slightest sound, I will be up in the middle of the night patrolling the house and yard in my boxers with a 12 gauge. She knows I will kill the hell out of any threat to her or my little babies who depend on me to keep them safe. She knows I will not hesitate to make sure the threat is utterly destroyed or die trying. She loves me, my two little ones love me, and I will not let them down.

My girlfriend makes me feel safe too, but I'm there to support her when she needs a rock. Just because people recognize that having someone there to support them makes them feel safe doesn't mean they're metro, I'd go as far as to say it means that they're so comfortable with themselves that they don't feel the need to fall perfectly into gender roles

Edited by gethyn007: 8/20/2016 1:01:23 AMBeing there for one another is not what one usually means when they say that someone makes them feel safe. Metrosexual men may phrase things differently these days, but feeling safe generally refers to a sense of security gained from knowing there is some form of protection on a more physical level. For a man to say that their girlfriend makes them feel safe likely conjures images in the minds of many, if not most, straight folks of a pathetic, liberal, little pansy hiding behind a female. Being comfortable with oneself is well and good, but if one appears to dress or behave in a manner which appears to fall too far and/or too often from their respective gender role, then they will likely be perceived as being unlike their respective gender role - obviously. This doesn't mean anyone should change who they are, but they shouldn't be surprised to find that they are perceived as they are or that what they [i]say[/i] is perceived as it is.
