life help: Why would guys take a bullet for their girlfriend? - Help.com

Its just about sacrifice and love. If you truly love someone you will take a bullet for them whether its your girlfriend,friend or parent. There are a handful of people I would gladly take a bullet for, and once upon a time I would have done the same for my ex girlfriend.

Its called being “selfless”- its good to know that there still exists people like that :)

It´s about protecting what you love. In certain situation that trait comes out.
I have no idea what i would do tbh. It´s one thing to say it, another thing to do it.

no

They were good boyfriends. In fact, wonderful ones. Amazing. Loving. Caring. And they showed it.
Why did they die for their girlfriends? I don’t know. I wasn’t them. I guess I’m just glad to be the same species as people who do such caring, generous, eternally meaningful things.

1) if you feel something is more valuable than another thing, the thing of greater value will be naturaly protected first

2) maby people in that part of the world are taught to value life,

3) : unless a person has convinced me the world is better off without them : i would put my life on the line to save some one i didnt even like. thats just me.

the simplest answer. love. when you love someone enough, even if they are just your your girlfriend, and even with some guys even if you havent confessed yet, you want to protect them. i want to protect those close to me, even if it does cost me my life, so yes, i would jump in front of a bullet to save the one i love.

I would. Would I rather jump aside and let her take a bullet, and then live with that conscience that I let somebody else die when I could have taken it?

It makes me shiver to consider what I would do just for love itself, but that’s it really. We strive to protect what we love.

It’s hard to say. During such a time, I can’t imagine what was going through their minds and such a quick action wouldn’t necessarily be logical, but rather a reflex. I’d like to think it was out of love and a duty to protect. Just because a couple is not yet married, doesn’t mean their love is less intense or meaningful

LOL my ex wouldn’t've taken a bullet for me no way he didn’t even stick up for me when some bloke was having a go at me on a night out LMFAO and he was the loveliest guy i’ve ever met. I guess it just depends on how much you love that person, if you have a bf who would take a bullet for you then you are one lucky ***** lol.

Evolutionary psychology: a man is never 100% certain whether or not a woman he is involved with is pregnant with his child. By protecting her he is protecting his unborn child and the mother who will be raising that child.

Colonel (”Dr. Death”) Jeff Cooper offered the following, which I consider axiomatic:

“It is the role of men to protect women, and it is the role of women to civilize men.”

Seems like the most human thing to do. Besides, standing up in an attempt to run away in that situation would make them easy targets.

I think it is also a human instinct to protect anyone you love or even a stranger at that given the situation!

I knocked a guy out with a pool stick once not even thinking about it…just a reaction to 3 guys at once attacking my boyfriend. I think I would have done that for anyone that was being attacked.

Just like Tarzan and Jane.
