For some reason, this sounds really, really strange to me. I think in my mind I'm imagining it in a really exaggerated way though, so I suppose if it were really subtle, it wouldn't be so bad, but the idea of a guy herding me around just sounds like it would make me really uncomfortable.

I do this also. More when I am out with women than any other times.

	I think they call them "White Knights" and for some reason it makes you less of a man.

It switches their identification of the White Knighter into a family-like "brother" role. Its a natural genetic protection against incest.

Is that why I never got laid when I was younger? Too nice and nurturing? I was the nicest sweetest guy, that girls never wanted to have sex with. They saw me as a brother, not a mate?

Damn, should have been more of an asshole I guess.

I do this also. I have had years of combat training and feel an obligation to protect any people I'm with, but especially women.

I find this "watchdog" behavior controlling and abusive.

I think you misunderstand Dan. I'm not controlling or abusing anyone. At least, I hope not.

How do you act when you go out with with women?

Sounds like feminists think you are an asshole for doing such things.

I mean it's one thing to look out for your friends and make sure they don't get into fistfights or get their purses stolen or their drinks fucked with. But I get the impression that you're talking about being the judge, for your friends, as to who they talk to or who they dance with or whatever they are doing.

The latter is controlling behavior (not abusive, I just tend to link them together as a single concept). Not only would you be intervening on who they interact with, but on a mental level you would be foregoing your friends' judgement and replacing it with your own. Superceding it. That is what goes on in controlling relationships.

It doesn't matter if one has good intentions in those situations. It's controlling behavior.

I go out with women, or whoever, groups or as a couple, I'm generally going to either sit my ass down and watch the game, shoot a little pool and bullshit with the fellas while my companion(s) does their own thing.

You ever see a couple when out, dude's constantly got his arm around the girl, insists on being around for every conversation, going up and getting her drinks for her while she stays at the table, sitting close but always looking around and not focusing on the table? That guy is controlling and abusive, never fail. That guy's a watchdog too.

Nope. You completely misread my my post.

That ain't me. No way. I hate that guy. He the jealous controlling boyfriend.
