I think that will depend on the man. My sons are 29 and 26. One is 6 ft + and a former Army Ranger, great potential for intimidation there. But let me tell you my 32 year old daughter can cut a man to ribbons with her tongue and a glare. So far they have been rather mellow about the new man in my life. Luckily he is extremely self confidant and not easily intimidated. The ex ranger just thinks it is weird.
And both of these "kids" still live with their mom...?

Neither lives with mom, but both live close by. I live in a small rural community and my kids have been fortunate enough to all find good jobs within 50 miles of where they grew up. Both boys have been around the world and still came home.

Sometimes, when the sons and daughters all seem especially "close" to mom, the issue for "new guys" may be less about "protectiveness" or "intimidation", than about just feeling "accepted". And alot also depends on mom's "boundaries" with her kids... whether they respect her needs and wishes, or try to impose their own and help "choose" the new boyfriends (aka by "being protective").

I agree with the protective bit, I think that since their father's death they have come to be much more concerned about mom being alone. My youngest son lived with us till shortly after his father died, he was attending college and was able to be around so I could work. He still checks in regularly for a meal, but then fixes the plumbing, installs lights and such for me. I think only my middle son, who had the least conflicted relationship with his father is the most bothered about any new relationship, and he is polite enough to keep it to himself. Luckily he has a wife to set him straight if he gets too concerned.
