to satisfy their needs and desires

One of the biggest questions in biology is: what is the point of men?

Why do women let them get away with it? All they do is force the unfortunate female to copy their own, male, genes.

Imagine a city with 10,000 women and just 10 men

And why are there so many of that selfish tribe?

Each one, each time he has sex, makes enough sperm to fertilise every woman in Europe. Surely a few lucky lotharios would be enough and we could do away with the rest in the interests of economy.

'Dumped males'

In fact the question of males raises not one, but many biological issues: the origin of sex, of distinct sexes, of why there are only two sexes rather than dozens.

And how is that pastime maintained, given that it is so expensive? A woman, it seems, could much increase the rate at which she copies her own genes if she avoided having them diluted by those of a man.

If... women ruled the world

Yes, men are a complicated lot, and there's a lot we do not know. As we look through the living world, one thing is clear: it is very hard to get rid of them.

There are plenty of creatures out there that have done the job (including a California lizard in which every animal is a female but, strangely, half pretend to be male by trying to mate with its sister).

Plants - think banana or potato - have dumped males again and again. However, almost none of those lineages have evolved very far.

On the great tree of life, they are at the tips of the branches, each at a dead end. Males act to reshuffle the genetic cards, handing a new mixture of DNA to the next generation, rather than exactly the same mix as that in their mother.

In the great casino of life, they are essential, for any creature that always gambles with the same hand, however good, is bound to lose in the end.

Good question, why do we need em? lol just kiddin...umm well, i guess its cuz, happiness is somethin people strive for most of their lives, and love seems to play quite a big role in our happiness. Findin the right partner, i think, be it a guy or a girl, is probably the nicest feelin in the world...so yeah, i think thats why women need men. And yes i know my answer sounds somewhat naive...but i really do think it is at least 90% of the reason, cuz if we didnt have get that feelin of being in love with our partners, i think the need to reproduce would fade, much sooner than some may even like to admit. But this is just my opinion anyway.

1) Men are providers. There are millions of women working and raising children. They WISH they had a man.

2) Men are protectors. Brothers and fathers that protect their sisters and daughters from the malign intentions of other men.

3) Men are fathers. Studies show, sons and daughters without a father are highly more likely to take drugs, practice violence, etc...

4) Men are leaders. Over 90% of all the world's leaders are men. WIthout men, the world would be anarchy.

5) Men hold the generations to come. The man's seed determines the sex of our children.

Actually, both they need .. Men need women and women need men !
Each part of the couple offers something the other need . They share their life with feelings and emossions . Feeling of love and of peace !
Every thing in our life is of two parts " a couple" .. Look to Magnetism : North pole attracts South pole !
Also ; Electricity : Positive & Negative are neccessary to have electricity !
Look to the very small "atoms" : We have Positive protons and Negative elecrtons ..
Attraction and srong relation need the two parts of a couple !

Not all woman need men, and not all men need woman, In fact I think if there we could go just for sex there would be a lot less marriage

Woman don't NEED men but it's sometimes just nice to have a man around for a little company.

sperm, companionship.......and let's face it........
as much as the feminist nuts all want to believe it's not true, there are some things men are better at than women, generally speaking.
And in turn, there are somethings we are better at than men......generally speaking.

To ensure the survivial of the species.

(And to protect me when things go bump in the night, although hubby says he feels sorry for any man who has to go up against me)

because we would miss them if they weren't around and they like the sex and the love and they can make them happy sometimes. and they are less dramatic than other women to hang around.
