For any guys who've experienced this, how do you deal with dating a woman who comes from a family full of men; not just that but a family full of overprotective men?
 
Like from West Virginia?
 
I did worse. My ex-fiance's family were all staunch Mormons, and I was a heathen in a Rock band and never went to college.
When I met her family, they walked in, I went to shake her Dad's hand, and he said, "Well, nice to meet you but we're completely against our daughter's relationship with you." and then she started crying and yelling.:)
The answer on what to do? Break Up.
 
Show no fear...we big brothers can smell fear in our little sister's dates. If you show no fear and are a decent guy and don't try anything you shouldn't you'll be fine. At least until you break her heart, then you might want to have some good insurance :D
 
try to get along at first. don't go overboard though before you get used AND lose a girl.

I just realized I've never felt that way about my sister.



Maybe it's because my sister is totally anti-social and doesn't date.
 
It's going to be tough. Try to learn about the things her dad and brothers like. Talk about them. You'll probably have to spend more time with her family than her. And be prepared, because if you split up, no matter who's fault it was, it's your fault.

She and I should get to know each other.

You're lucky. My sister is very social and while she doesn't "date around" much since she has a boyfriend, there are a lot of guys who still pursue her...many of which I would never trust. Her current b/f is cool though :D...at least til he breaks her heart :mad:

but you just wait...if your sis does start dating more, the big brother gene will kick in.

Not for me, I used to ****e out my sister and keep 75% of the profit :o
 
Well, I come from a family where I have all sisters, so I have no issues with Male Jealousy in my family when I bring a guy over. Of course the fact that I live by myself makes it easier to date guys without being under a microscope.

show them that you mean business by making out in full view of her family and then proceeding to smack her across the mouth when she talks back at you. let the family know you gotta ***** in check. :o
 
The best thing to do is handle it on a case by case basis. Try to see things from the siblings' point of view.

Establish a guideline, and if by that point you have invested time and energy into the situation and the girl's brothers have not taken a liking to you, or her family has not, then determine if the effort you are putting forth deserves continued commitment. If not, then cut your losses, and move on to another girl.

Another thing you can do, is determine if there is some merit behind what the siblings are thinking or the parents are thinking. Are you really worth going out with their daughter or sister. Who are you, and what do you have that makes you worth anything to them or your sister. Maybe they feel that their sister or daughter can do better than you. If so, maybe you should accept that, and gracefully exit. You'll be doing her a whole lot of justice, and probably win everyone's respect.
 
I've experienced dating a man.....and his legion of female friends. Not fun at all.
 
what kind of man has a legion of female friends?

The imagry that brought to mind was comical, yet epic.
