I don't know about anyone else but mine's so protective and wants to kill every guy that talks to me. Anyone else have an older brother like this? Or are you a protective older brother, tell us why.

I am the oldest and it sucks. I have no older siblings. I want an older brother. I have some really close male friends who look out for me but it's not the same. A lot of guys flirt with me and sometimes I want someone to be there to tell them to back off. One of my friends that I consider a big brother to me, is 2 years older than me but hes moving at the end of the month. I don't know what I'll do without him. His father is in the military, so he's restationed every 2 years.

I'm like that with a lot of people, not just my brothers.

Being the oldest is a responsibility, I'm kida bummed I cant be around to help my brothers out any more... I know more than a few freshies and sophomores are deathly afraid of me.

I am the oldest in my family, but I had a bunch of older male cousins and friends. They've always been like my big brothers. Hell, I had to stop one of my cousins from beating up my date at a dance last year. Alot of them graduated and try not to protect me anymore, kinda thankful for it, even if I miss them. They knew I could take care of myself, but always watched out for me and were willing to beat any guy who messed with me. i sort of forgot to tell them about fights I got into once in awhile, or most of the time. LOL Yeah, I love the guys, no matter how many times they protected me or threatened guys to stay away from me or even fought my battles for me. It's just how guys are sometimes. I can't explain it, and yeah I get mad at them for it sometimes. Atleast they know I can take care off myself most of the time and kind of let me take care of my own problems.


I could never be the protective older sister. I trust my sister to hang with the right people usually. She'd kill me if I "looked out" for her anyways.

My older brother is protective of my sometimes, but I think he's good at judging it when I need it. He's eighteen and I'm fourteen, and he's really good at judging what's going on. He actually pretended to be my dad at the movie theatre once when this creep was looking at my pervertedly. He went to college when he was fourteen, so he's an electrical engineer/computer programmer/bio-chemist apprentice now, so he was going, "Okay, sweetie, I've got to go to work now. I'll drop you off at home. Tell your Mom that I won't be long." I think they guy wasn't convinced, but still, it gave him the idea that that rippled eighteen year old wasn't going to let him near me. And yes, he's rippled.

My brothers are bad. One time a guy called for me and my brother pretended to be my "boyfriend" and told the guy to stop calling. If they think that I'm on the phone with a guy then they won't leave me alone and say really embarassing things. Even my brothers friends are overprotective of me. Wow, I just realize how sad that is.

I have two older brothers, both incredibly over-protective. Everytime I meet a guy and want to start seeing or dating him they have to have a "talk" with him. Normally they scare the guy off so much that he never talks to me again. I love them both to death and we have a great relationship (since were all so close in age) we have the same friends so it's hard for me to hang out with a guy I like and not have them find out about it. They tell me that it's only because our dad's not around, but I'm 17 for F***s sake! I'm a big girl!

Oh right i think i understand now.... you kind of what to be protective of them (like most older brothers) but your afraid that they'll go completely mad and stsrt hitting you and if they do that then you'll hit them back..... ok so do i undertand it now???!!!

No, if I tried to be overprotective with my sisters in a way that's annoying to them. Such as tagging along to make sure no funny business goes on. My sisters don't like that. They want to do their own thing. And I have a thing about beating up women, even if they're related to me, so that sort of puts me at a disadvantage when their fists start flying.

I have all of the over-protectiveness that one person can take and it could last the rest of my life. First off, my mom is extremely protective of me but wasn't as protective of my older brother just cause he was a guy. I will admit, when we were younger my brother was and kind of had to be protective of me and he had good reasons and intentions. But now, within the last year and a half, mabye two years, he has tried to act like my dad and it gets on my nerves when he does that. I hate it but it still happens.

I happen to be an older brother thats a bit protective. Although I'm usually more protective with my friends than my actual sister, I check up on my sister and the things she does and becaome aware of them and sometimes confront her on things she shouldn't be doing, but we never had a very good relationship and she doesn't listen to me. I have only interfered directly with her life and how she lives it a couple times, when I thought it was REALLY necessary, and knew that she wasn't in any condition to make decisions....
My female friends on the other hand, I know really sexist, I tend to be really cautious with. They generally appreciate it, eventually, and I like to think I'm reasonable. I'm a person that just worries about people that I care about in general, I just tend to be overly protective of those friends of mine that are females.
I do this, I know some don't like it, and I accept that. It's simply in my nature to be somewhat protective, and anyone that befriedns me and stays friends with me realizes this and takes it as it comes. I know I do this because it feels like the right thing to do, and thats just how I live my life.

Yea Soul, just take a deep breath and remember his good intentions. And about the "cute" thing about it, my girlfriends are always like..."awwww thats so adorable they are looking out for u". I'm like..."u wouldn't think it was cute if they were protective of u, trust me". But yea, all we got to do is take a deep breath and remember their good intentions.

Mine's college but living at home since he goes to NYU and we live in New York City. Everyone says "Aw he's protective of you. That's so cute." Eh? I guess it kind of is but it tends to get annoying. I just remind myself of his good intentions.

Hi I am an older brother and I love my sibs and am kinda protective but I figure that it's my parents job not mine and by the time my little sister starts talking to boys I'll be in college and I figure dad and mom can handle it

Jake think's I'm ridiculous now..haha..He really amuses me. He says he's supposed to be like this. Apparently one day I'll thank him. Hmm...Older brothers *rolls eyes*

Great, good luck, and let us know how it went. Take care

I know his intentions are really good..that's why I try not to get mad at him. He really is a good guy. He just "watches out for his baby sister"..his words..I'll be sixteen next month, not exactly a baby. I'll talk to him tomorrow.
