Confused about women?

Question

I heard that women don't need men as much as men need women.

Is this really true? Or do women have as much need for men as men do women, only express it differently?

I was wondering if it had to do with a lot of women are meeker and will express themselves more modestly, while a guy is abrupt and sometimes embarrassing in how direct they ask things.

I think sometimes women are embarrassed or feel used like objects, instead of loving them and then if somethign happens...,

Please, ladies and men, I need your help!!! What do you think?

Answer 1

Of course I'll get thunderous thumbs down for this because I think like I'm from an entrirely different galaxy, but:

You answered your own question by saying "Or do women have as much need for men as men do women, only express it differently?"

That is precisely true. The only reason why more women today feel they don't need men, is because many have misunderstood what femininsm and true indiviuality, stands for. So now, many women mistakenly follow the life of complete independance from even true love, and from any real connection to men.

And so now many believe that they don't need men at all. Many believe that true love doesn't exist. Many feel that relationships are stupid, and that money and power is everything. Ironically, many live the same way as the sexist men of the past, that many (angry type) feminists despise. Feminism is about equality of the sexes, and bringing understanding and togetherness of the sexes. Not seperating them and replacing it with the same childish greed that some men in power have.

Regardless to this, they're are girls out their who are sweet, kind, and smart, some are even femininsts but they are TRUE femininst who actually understand it. It's harder to find, but they're out there. You have to weed through the sea of stupid women first, just like she has to weed through the sea of stupid men before findthing the good man you are.

I found my woman., so Good luck.

Answer 2

I'm confused about men who only want women as a one night stand.

Why do some women take it more personally then some men and what's this thing about the next day? Why do some guys get so lovey dovey on the first couple of dates and then all of a sudden turn into this insensitive, cold pickle, when the woman puts out?

It's annoying.

Answer 3

Nice honest question for once, without all of the stereotyping and crap. Thank you.

Now for my answer. Women tend to ask for help when they need it. They will go to their girl friends, their parents, their doctors. Men don't do this. They only go to their women. So in this way, yeah, I think they tend to need women more then women need men, just because women tend to be all they have. And having said that, all men are not like this, and all women are not either, of course. But I do think it is a tendency. Just something I've noticed.

Now, after seeing some of the other answers, I have to say something about the way men and women express themselves. Men talk to women (well, to anybody) to impart information, and to maintain their position in society. Women use language and comunicate verbally in order to make a connection with other people, so we have totally different things to say to eachother. This accounts for much of the misunderstandings between men and women. It also is the resaon why you often hear the complaint from women that men don't talk to them. Men often communicate their affection thru sex, their work and other actions, women thru their words. I'll just let you draw your own conclusions from all this but I think it somewhat answers your question.

I think that we need eachother in different ways but just as much. I do think that men often feel worse after a break up because they don't ask for help the way women do. That's about as simple as I can make it.

Ok this might not make sense to you but attack is the best defense, meaning you probably were right wondering what's really going on between her and the other guy, so what does she do she leaves, you probably caught her in the "act". You don't just up and leave somebody you love over a little argument. You're probably better off even if it doesn't seem that way right now....

Answer 5

It's almost all a timing issue:

Men:
- puberty to 90: need sex and, thus, women all the time.

Women:
- puberty to 18: don't need men, parents provide everything.
-19-22: don't need men too much, still financially covered.
-23-33: need men, no financial sponser and may need a marriage to properly support interest in having a child.
-34-90 (Married): already have man on contract. Sucker.
-34:40 (Not married): need man ASAP!! running out of egg cells and NEED to be a mother.
41-90: (Not married) don't need man. Post-procreation stage. Now just busy hating men.

Answer 6

I agree, men need women much more than women need men. I also believe that men are more emotional than women yet women get the reputation as being the emotional ones. Women have sexual power as it's a matter of supply and demand. Women have the supply and men supply the demand. This gives them the power over men.

Answer 7

You've got it all wrong. Start thinking of men an women as PEOPLE. We, people, need eachother. I need my female friends, but I need men too. Men need women. We all need eachother. We are social beings. It's not everything about sex.

Answer 8

Used to think i would never "need a man." & I still don't. But, unfortunately, came across a man that I want in my life. Don't need him, but I want him to be by my side. Huge difference.

You only need yourself to survive. But, wanting someone is completely different.

Why do you need to "be needed?" Loved is more inviting.

Good luck! Women are confusing, but you men, are mind-boggling!

Answer 9

i believe that if both men n women work together greatest success wil b reached..
y? as both men n women hav different qualities in which the opposite wil find it hard to attain it..

men hav: leadership quality in which very rare for a woman to hav it strong.. thus wen women work with man, man wil lead them to success..
women hav a different quality: disciplin which man wil find it hard to practise it.. thus women can help men handle situations safely and smmothy..

as for reltionships, it is jus a commitmen to luv d opposite truthfully.. 50%=great life, 50%=disappointin life.. however, it can b 100%=great life if both luv each other passionately no matter what... (Listen to backstreet boys- as long as u luv me)

Answer 10
