I have never dated “tough” guys. I have never dated guys that got into fights. And what this all translates to is the fact that I have never dated a guy that stood up and defended me.
I do not take sexual harassment very well. If I am in a bar and some guy makes a crude remark to me or grabs my ass, I won’t just ignore him. I will open my big ass mouth and say something. I will do the same thing if a girl says something to me that I don’t like. The guys I have dated have always responded by saying, “Please don’t make me have to fight anyone” or “Please don’t get me in a fight.” It was me defending myself against the creepy, inappropriate remarks made by men and not the guy I was with defending me.
The Redneck would never, ever say that. The Redneck would open his mouth before I even had a chance to open mine. He would defend me no matter what. I hate fighting, and I don’t advocate it at all, but I know that he would punch someone in a second for me if he had to. And honestly, it’s kind of a nice feeling to know that the guy you are with would protect you and defend you.
It gets pretty tiring having to defend yourself all the time. It’s a nice feeling to know that the guy you are with respects you enough to make sure that everyone around you shows you the same respect that he does.

It is a very secure feeling.
My ex-husband used to take that a little too far though. If we were out and weren't standing next to each other and a guy came up and starting talking to me, he would get all big and bad and be an asshole. I used to yell at him and tell him that I can handle myself. And that's honestly what I'd prefer. If someone sexually harasses me, I'd rather be the one to handle it. Now, if the guy decides he's going to continue or get violent with me, then of course I'd want my man to step in. But if it's just words, then I'll handle it.
However, the Redneck sounds like a good guy. Hopefully he's better than the last fucker.
