Uhh i mean if by “protective” you mean the need to defend a woman physically or from being harassed? Then that goes for all women. Any guy raised right defends women and children 100 times more then other men.
My brother just knocked a guy out cold after he hit him over the head with a football in our rec league 2 weeks ago. At no point did anyone need to go step in, my little bro is a man and can fight a mans way. But had it been a man hitting a female? Then you better believe me an my bros are gonna hurt that guy badly. If a “man” hits a female he isn't even a male anymore, just evil and to be destroyed.
If you mean protective as in like watching over you and being protective in a friendship sorta way? Then yeah thats only if she is interested in romance, otherwise i got better things to do then he involved on a personal basis. Exceptions go to biological sisters of course.

The majority of it is attraction, unless the guy knows you personally. A lot of guys get protective of their female friends, but most guys also want to sleep with their female friends.
You are the woman you’ll have to tell us
missed a word lol. i meant protective “instinct” like on the guys end how much does it only apply to girls they’re into vs actually caring about as a person
Women are totally different
I think we have to love the person we're protecting
100%
Men protect women instinctively
Even the ones we don’t know and will never see again.
People usually try to protect someone they care about or love, not strangers.
yes to clarify i’m talking about male friends mostly
I guess it depends on how close of friends you are for them to care.
