"Remember when I told you that you were protective toward women. You didn't want to think so. You are protective still."
Yeah, I was the elder brother, and sometimes it felt like I was my mother's elder brother (she had really bad taste in men).
No, I said I have never fallen in love with a woman because I felt I had to protect her. But I see what I do as giving women strength rather than trying to protect them. The best way to protect someone is to teach them how to protect themselves, and the best way to teach someone how to protect themselves is to show them their strengths and capabilities.
Every woman I have fallen in love had more inner strength than I did. ;)
