education, great job, looks, friends, family -- are still DESPERATE to have a man??? I'm not putting down the male-female relationship; I've been married for many years. But, shouldn't we be okay even if we don't happen to have found a mate?

Before i met my other half i was on my own for a period of time learning about me and who i was, i was not desperate for another half to make me whole, i was contented with being me and what i achieved off my own back, and it was when i wasn't looking that i found my other half and i couldn't wish for a better man then him.....men enhance a woman's life but some women need to be happy with themselves if they do not find a mate.

It depends. some people just want companionship (okay, everyone does). I think there are some people though who put too much emphasis on "meeting someone." I have a friend like that. She thinks it is the be-all/end-all to be in a relationship.
But some men are this way too. So it goes both ways.

Terri, you're another day closer to finding your true happiness, yourself. Happiness, can be found within your Heart. The Old Ticker.The thumping sound in your chest. The place where Love is suppose to be. The place that so many ignore. But it's the very place, that gets Broken. when it doesn't happen. Love & Peace!

Yes, we should. We don't really need men for anything, except possibly sex, and even then we're able to stimulate ourselves. Luckily, more and more people are embracing singlehood as a desirable way of life and turning their backs on the couplehood machine. Good for you for realizing the benefits of this. You get the Rio Madeira Seal of Approval!

Women who usually have it all together are not desperate to have a man. They have realized that they don't need one to get what they want out of life. The ones that are desparate for a man, haven't yet realized that men are companions, not a prize to be won, and they haven't realized that their self worth does not depend on who they are dating.

its what we have been taught from day one!
Playing babydolls, pretending you were Kelly Kaplalski and Zack Morris was your husband to be.
Media and Socitiy tell you you NEED To have the perfect life!!!
We should be okay with getting your own life going and running, when in a HEALTHLY relationship it makes it fun to share what your doing with.

I think when that happens, it's because they have been raised to believe that they're incomplete without a man.
When I turned 30, my father asked me when I was going to stop "loafing around" and get married.
I told him I wasn't going to get married until I met somebody who I think I'd be happier being married to than I am being single!

They say success isn't so sweet unless you have someone to share it with. Being that we are both married, we shouldn't assume that we understand what the singles of the world feel like.

We are by nature, social beings; so we have the propensity to seek company, love and a sense of "belongingness" from other people or from the opposite sex.
