protecting your gf.

i cant explain in words how i feel about this.

Iv been with my gf for over a year now and love her to bits girlfriend, but i feel i have a problem protecting her.

She is a very attractive girl, We are both 17, i am not big and built although im in the process of getting bigger.

but i feel like i cant protect her, For example. the other night i was with her and when were together for a night out, there was a group of drunks shouting out stuff to her like "oi oi sexy", "you should be with a man like me" "id F*** you any day" etc etc (clearly seeing she was with me) and i did not have a clue what to do, i was angry and scared, and knew if i said any thing i would of got the crap beaten out of me and now i just feel depressed about it. Because i feel like i cant protect her.

Its not just this but also like i would be holding her hand walking down high street or some thing and these guys would just clearly check her out completely not giving a **** about me, i just want to say something but these guys are normally always bigger than me. So i normally just put an angry face on and leave it. but when iv got friends with me at the same time its also embarrasing for me because i get the impression from them like they think i cant protect her and say stuff back

i just dont know what to do

Maybe she doesn't need protecting, if she wanted a big guy like that she'd be with a big guy like that instead of with you. I seriously doubt she's with you because she wants you to protect her, most girls these days can protect themselves. If it was protection she wanted she would've gone for the obvious choice of a big guy, but she didn't she went for you, didn't she?

rofl. What planet are you from?

OP. what the hell....I'm a pretty big and scary guy, but if 5 drunken chavs started shouting comments about my girlfriend I'd just ignore it.... fighting/talking back is the worst possible option.

I'm fine ignoring comments about me, but when I'm with a girl and they make comments about her, I'm not sure I'd be able to ignore it.

Then again, it has yet to happen.

Martial arts + powerlifting = one tough *****er.

i should of learnt from this ages ago as my brother was nearly killed (stabbed continously) for shouting something back at guys as he walked past with his gf.

But i think alot of it is to do wiith soicety. Maybe i am to protective over her and possesive. But shes the same back. I cant explain what goes through my mind when it happens, at the momment i normally just ignore what people say but iv had enough of it now, had enough of being the lil wimp, i would take a beaten for her any day.

Guys: How would you deal with it if it happend to you ?

Girls: What would you want your guy to do?

Exactly the combo I'm on atm.

3/4 days in the gym 1/2 days doing aikido.

****, is he ok now without any lasting damage?

This, and the fact that I could get her raped, makes me hold my tongue and not get too bothered at stupid comments. Words are after all, harmless.

If they invade your space and start touching, thats another matter altogether....
