because they dont want noone else to have them.. they would say "your only mine". If this happens is because the guy really likes the girl..bcoz someone who didnt wouldnt feel as they need to be overprotected with their girl..They wanna feel manly & feel like they got the control.

Because that's how guys are.

Males are taught early on in life that being protective and tough is manly. They're taught that if they're not those things that they're not men.

In knowing they've protected someone they feel appreciated, masculine, and proud of themselves. It's just how they're wired. Everyone is going to have pride over something.

Not every girl thinks that a protective boyfriend is caused by jealousy though. If my boyfriend was to protect me, I wouldn't think he was jealous/overprotective. I would actually prefer it and appreciate it. :)

From my learning, it's a natural instinct.
