Answer 1

Joe, my man. Hope you're doin' well today. This is a very good question. I'm assuming your question is REALLY asking is: "If women are so independent, how come they need a man when they SAY they do not?" How's my aim? lol Anyway, I don't know that there's one answer to that question. Every so often I do surveys among my patients and compare data with my collegues in the Philadelphia area with questions similiar to this.

I feel that a lot of women (not all, so don't get all flustered on me here ladies :-)) assume that when they're financially independent, they don't need a man. It's almost like it's part of a contract that says if you make enough money to support yourself, you don't need the companionship of a man. Many women have bought in to this (along with television and movies supporting this idea) which is why a lot of them SAY they don't need a man. The truth is that just because a person, whether they be a man OR a woman, makes enough money to support themselves doesn't mean they don't need the companionship of the opposite sex. Believe me when i tell you this...men need women and women need men. We need eachother equally...no more or less than the other...period. No matter how much women want to dismiss this, it's the truth. Men and woman are hard wired to need eachother for many reasons. A woman brings things to the table that men generally cannot, and vise versa.

But get this...there's nothing wrong with needing a man and there's nothing wrong with needing a woman. Our culture has distored the true definition of independence. It tells us that we don't need anyone or anything so long as we have money and that's simply not true. I could afford to pay my mortgage, all my bills, credit cards, and buy what I want to without my wife, and my wife could do the same without me. But I need my wife and my wife needs me and it has nothing to do with money. We need eachother for different reasons. We make eachother whole. Men and woman are created incomplete in many ways and the only way to become whole is to have the companion ship of a woman/man. Ever hear the term "You're the yin to my yang?" Well take a look at the Yin Yang symbol and notice how when put together, they create a perfect circle. Also notice that the small circles in each section is the color of the opposite circle. That, ladies and gentlemen, is why we need eachother.

Ladies, please don't buy into this "I don't need a man" b.s. that society is trying to feed you. We need you, and you need us. What's more is that we need you to need us, and you need us to need you, it's that simple....I'm sure YOU could even admit that, Joe lol

Well there ya go Joe! Hope that sheds some light on your quandry.

Answer 2

I don't "need" my husband for the trivial things of life. We have chosen to be together, I can make my own money, do my own fix-it projects around the house, change the oil in my car as well as check it, and we can both cook equally well.

I generally move the furniture much more than he does, as decorating and redecorating is much more "my" choice...he just is brilliant enough to say "this looks great, I love the couch on that side of the room."

In turn, I am brilliant enough to tell him that the work he did in the yard looks great, even when he has mowed down some of my new plants, thinking they were weeds.

Men generally need women just as much as a woman needs a man. The old days of a woman needing a man for financial support are long over and done with. Thank goodness I bypassed those decades.

Did you have a disagreement with your wife over the weekend, and are letting your bitterness show?

Have a good day, I think you enjoy trying to stir up controversy.

Answer 3

I am independent and I don't need a man to do any of these things. In fact, I do most of these things by myself or I find someone to do the things I'm unable to do. For 6 years I was single and lived alone. I managed wonderfully.

I do not need a man, but it's wonderful to have my husband around. He is my best friend and we have a life long companionship with each other.

The things that need to be done we can do ourselves, but it's easier for both of us to divide tasks up. Instead of having two separate households and two separate set of chores, we have one and split down the middle.

Answer 4

Well, you heard it about all. The truth is and also a fact: Women are the more cabable ones to exist without a mate and are the better sex.
It is said, that we Women are equipped, with a Bridge between left and right Brain (Men are not), this Bridge allowes us to be, MILTIE-TASK,(Men are not)
Emotionally too, we are stronger, which makes us to be good NURTURERS (Men are not)
SEX-well, even there, we have more options to achieve satisfaction, then Man. So in a Nutshell (WE DO NOT NEED MEN EXEPT FOR PHYSICAL STRENGTH)
I don't need a Man but like having one around for: LOVE, COMPANY, STRENGTH AND YES, s e x . ( all this only if TRUE LOVE IS PRESENT)

Answer 5

Apparently, you don't know women.

The point all your answerer's missed is:
companionship.

Companionship covers a lot of ground... conversations, going places together, leaning on one another, cheering together, sharing sorrows, and many such things that humans need and want.

Sex ends or diminishes, looks fade, other things as life goes on are not what they were when a relationship started. But companionship, if you've found the right man or woman, takes on its own life.

Answer 6

We don't NEED a man (the women who are independent) we want someone to spend our lives with and be our best friends and lovers. I am on my own, have my own place, car etc take care of things on my own...I don't need a man for that. I want someone just to spend time with and talk to, have a family with. I could just go and adopt but, I want the whole connection. I don't NEED the man to spend money on me...just spend time with me.
I do agree though that there are some women who need the man to think they have a life. They cannot live with themselves alone. There are all different people out there.

Answer 7

We don't "need" a man...women can do all the things you listed, or (like many people of either sex do) we know where to go to get those services (people are in the business to do those things for those who cannot do them or don't have time).

There's a huge difference between "need" and "want"...it's attitudes like you've expressed that no one needs or wants...it's lovely when people of the opposite sex get together because they want to be though. ☺

Try again...lol!

Answer 8

It's not a matter of Need but of Want. We can make do just fine by ourselves but we want a man for various reasons. It varies from woman to woman. There may be some women out there who think they "need" a man, but they just haven't figured things out yet.

Answer 9

They dont NEED a man. Many women, like myself, can accomplish all of those things on there own. Many women want a man to keep her company and love. There plenty of independent women out there!

Answer 10

Who needs a man for all that?? The only things you need the opposite sex for is to procreate. And now days you really don't need the act, you just need the juice. So I would say that just about covers it. I can change my own oil, I can move my own furniture and cook my own meal. Dude, you really need some help, why are you so down on women? Somebody really did a number on you. I hope you get over her soon and can move on.
