Why choose female bodyguards instead of male?

There are numerous benefits of female bodyguard services and the principal reason female bodyguards are employed is because they are often undetected and their presence is less obvious that a well-built bodyguard accompanying a VIP.

A large number of women these days feel safer and secure around other women, rather than men. And for good reasons: female bodyguards nowadays are just as well trained as men are areas such as:

• Assessing coercion situations
• Defense and restraint
• Incident management
• Defusing and managing conflict

Most criminals will not suspect a well dressed woman casually walking behind, shopping next to a VIP in a busy mall or sitting next to a VIP that is out on the town. Many people will not even realize that the woman is in fact a female bodyguard that is highly trained in martial arts and skilled with various weapons such as firearms, Tasers and knives to name a few. Female bodyguards are therefore often mistaken as a friend of the VIP and not an actual bodyguard.

Many VIPs also feel that they prefer female bodyguard services as woman tend to have a degree of "female intuition" that their male bodyguard colleagues lack. Some people may disagree but many people feel that females offering bodyguard services are better at negotiating hostage situations, have excellent conflict management skills and are able to pay close attention to details that may be overlooked by male bodyguard services. Female bodyguards are also able to transport their clients with VIP protection transport skills.

Female bodyguard services are often preferred for children that require VIP protection services, and many female VIPs also prefer female bodyguards as they feel more comfortable having a woman in their presence at all times. Indeed, female bodyguards can accompany their female clients in fitting-rooms in a boutique, in beauty shops or ladies’ room in a restaurant.

Female bodyguard services may also sometimes have more leeway when it comes to perhaps nudging persistent paparazzi away from a VIP. If a male bodyguard attempted to do the same, he may encounter a few problems and not be as successful as a female bodyguard would, as people are generally more lenient towards woman than men.

Your choice

A client may choose to have a Female Personal Protection Specialist either based on gender preferences or because a female operative can appear to be nothing more than a personal assistant or nanny.

It is known that women oftener resort to "peace talks" than force. Women are seldom treated as a source of menace, and this fact helps female bodyguards act promptly and effectively in case of emergency. Because of this, a Female Protection Specialist can be a valuable and discreet asset as they provide a more low-profile protection.

Our clients for female bodyguards are very special, all belonging to business and show business high society circles. One of the first things we taught our professional bodyguards is that they are the grey person; they are there to blend in!

Women have also the distinct advantage of blending in a lot easier than their male counterparts. When it comes down to it women also tend to be much better at diffusing a situation, therefore in most circumstances prevent a greater problem arising which; let's face it is what we are there to do. We firstly try to avoid a problem, secondly if this is not possible and we find ourselves in the middle of a situation our priority is to evacuate our principal(s) and get out of there promptly and thirdly, if left with no other option we confront the problem... but never the other way around!

Women as Bodyguards

It is a big misconception but unfortunately one that still exists that women do not work as bodyguards or at least would not make good bodyguards; well this is of course untrue. Women do work as bodyguards and have done so for many years.

Female Bodyguards are growing in popularity. This may be due to many factors, such as the type of clients requiring protection, be they middle eastern princesses who are more comfortable with female rather than male protection or the fact that people have accepted that it's a brains not brawn industry!

The simple fact is that a successful bodyguard should never have to use violence or draw a Weapon. The belief in “brawn over brains" is a misconception. With that in mind, there is no reason to doubt a woman can successfully manage the job. There is also a "boys club” attitude towards the Close Protection industry, simply because the pool from which a bodyguard is selected has traditionally been from a male-dominated workforce; law enforcement, military personnel, martial arts and the like. Because women have now been more integrated into these traditionally male careers, they too, are candidates worthy of consideration for careers in close protection.

Female Bodyguards are just as well trained in such areas as; Threat assessment, defense and restraint tactics, firearms, protective driving etc. as their male counterparts. In addition, women have some highly prized skills that should be considered... The ability to listen carefully, utilize intuitive skills and successfully manage conflict negotiations.

The favorite choice of the world class VIP’s

Female bodyguard services are becoming increasingly popular with many VIPs employing female bodyguards to protect them, their children and their families.  Women celebrities such as Lindsay Lohan, Beyonce Knowles, Sharon Stone, Rhianna and J K Rowling, to name just a few, often gravitate toward female bodyguards. The preference is to have a protector who is attentive, alert, quick on their feet, and won't draw attention in public, the way a 6'5, 350 pound man would.

For some VIP's, even having a Bodyguard on hand can feel disruptive to living a "normal" life. For example a female celebrity accompanied by a female Bodyguard is a more natural fit and less obtrusive, just as a female bodyguard with children appears much more natural than an awkwardly large man would appear. Remembering that as a Bodyguard we are the grey person not the “Man in Black", the idea is to blend in, not to stick out and potentially draw more attention to your client.

Female clients with female Bodyguards appear more natural, the Bodyguard can often be mistaken as a friend.

And it's not only women that use female bodyguards. It's now becoming more popular to see men with female bodyguards. There are various reasons for this; again coming back to the brains not brawn attitude, also practical reasons, many places such as restaurants do not allow “security” inside. They can come in initially to check that everything is satisfactory but then are commonly asked to wait in the lobby or outside. Females can get around this quite easily and more discretely, they can come in and sit down at the table or at a table nearby and nobody would be any the wiser. She places herself in an appropriate location to be able to react if a situation should arise.

Kate Middleton with her bodyguard Emma Probert

Far from being there to protect Kate Middleton's crisp white frock from creases and spillages, though, elegant Emma Probert was there to protect her life.

The Duchess of Cambridge is just the latest A-lister to put her life in the hands of a lady -- close protection officer 39-year-old Sergeant Probert. Other celebs to favor a female bodyguard in the past include her husband Prince William, Nicole Kidman, Katie Price and Justin Bieber. And Colonel Gaddafi was flanked by 40 female bodyguards, known as The Revolutionary Nuns…

Women can easily be mistaken as a partner rather than a protector. Also from a legal perspective female bodyguards are a far safer bet. You hear about Bodyguards "attacking" paparazzi all the time in the media, these Bodyguards always tend to be male, as the footage that is conveniently captured by another photographer tends to show.

World famous Gaddafi female bodyguards

Women are much less intimidating. A woman putting their hand up to protect their client is seen as far less aggressive than a large man carrying out the same action, and therefore less likely to provoke aggression from the Paparazzi or whoever. Less aggression leads to less law suites in the long run and therefore a quieter life for your V.I.P, which remember is the reason you, the Bodyguard have been employed in the first place!
