First off, I am so sorry that you feel emptiness inside and I think that the first to answer the question was right about not being fulfilled without someone loving you, there are just different kinds of love.
There is only one thing that can fill that empty space in your heart and that is Jesus Christ. He loves you so much that he was willing to take our punishment of eternal suffering and die that worst and most shameful death of crucifixion. Now he lives in heaven and he wants to come into your heart, so you can love His Father, who also loves you so much that he created you in his image so you could bring glory to Him. He wants to have a relationship with you and you can ask him into your heart today. If you want to know Him or are just curious go to http://zradio.org/index/about/jesus/ .
As for the man and woman topic, I know from that man and woman go together. Here are some things I found
Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them.
1 Chronicles 15:22 For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. 23But each in his own turn: Christ, the firstfruits; then, when he comes, those who belong to him.
I hope I could help and I pray that God spoke to you through me.

What you have read on the internet is nonsense (probably written by needy/greedy men or sharpy/harpy women). Of course we are all interdependent and we all need love. The ones who say we don't are possibly just making the point that a bad man (or woman) is worse than none at all. Men have been taught to whine more about their need for love, and women have been taught to hide it more. If you don't conform to someone else's preconceived ideas, that doesn't make you "not a proper woman". I believe that your feelings of emptiness come more from your childhood abuse than from any real inadequacy. My own hope is that you are getting some professional counseling or therapy. After what you have gone through, you deserve all the best. Keep asking for what you need, and you will eventually get it. I hope that you are able to talk frankly with the man you love, and that he is worthy of you. Good luck, dear. Things will get better with time.

No person can survive without being loved by someone else. It is impossible. Women can be taught to be independent, or learn that skill as they progress through life and are disappointed enough times to realize that some things can/should be done by your own self. Given the fact that we humans are naturally selfish, it is impossible to not need other people emotionally, even if one is totally self-sufficient otherwise. Your sense of being needed and needing others is terribly distorted, and you need some assistance to get your thoughts and views into proper and a more positive perspective. Be glad that you have at least one person in this world who loves you. If this man is not treating you properly, which you have made no mention that he hasn't, then it would be wise to separate yourself from him or anyone doing you any harm. Your feelings of inadequacy can only be overcome when you realize that those feelings are incorrect and your self-image is healed. It is possible for you to feel better; please get some counseling and end your needless suffering. I hope this helps you.

It is my belief that both men and women are Soul, Divine beings having a human experience. We reincarnate into either, both genders, switching back and forth for the experience of each. The inadequacy you feel is an illusion. You are whole just as you are, and have the same fountain of life that you see in women. God has given us these male and female bodies to learn to love each other and God. It's not true that women need men less than men need women. For many women, such as myself, relationship with the opposite sex is a deep, innate craving. And, although I am whole without a man, I am happiest and at my best with a man. That being said, it is very important for each of us to take responsibility for our own mental, emotional, physical, and Spiritual health. I would encourage you to explore your issues with a good therapist, or within yourself with reading, writing, and contemplating. We attract to us what we are. Be the best you can be so you can partner with the best woman possible.
Best wishes my friend in discovering your own wholeness so you can enjoy a whole and complete relationship.

just like in any other culture, there are self sufficient women and there are insufficient women; the same as with men. self sufficiency is dependent on different things, the culture, family and way of life. there are traits between men and women that are more distinguished to be sufficient than the other. men could be physically sufficient than women or women are more emotionally sufficient than men. but we cannot generalize these traits because you have to know how they gathered the article. is it based on a survey? or just a presumption of a general idea. if it is a survey how many samples were taken. are these samples a representation of how many clusters (population) and of their profile ( age, income, etc.). sometimes we presume things in favor of women because women population is higher than men then opinions arise as majority women, that is why articles like the one you read should be looked at the basis of their opinion or finding.
but i do believe the women are self sufficient in some aspects that men are not self sufficient and vice versa. oops by the way "majority of women" does not go after a man when she likes him isn't it? only majority of men does.

No, women were not created to be totally self-sufficient. Nor were they created to have no needs. They also were not put on this earth to give themselves to others.
I disagree with what the article that you read on the internet said about men needing women more than women need men.
The article is flawed.
All women are not self-sufficient.
All men are not needy.
Don't put unrealistic expectations on yourself and then be disappointed when you can't live up to them.

I do understand your point of view, despite the fact which you're able to desire to keep in mind which you're speaking in many cases words. there are lots of people who're perfecty happy on my own and could plenty extremely no longer be around others or might desire to place self assurance in everyone else. It would not recommend we are hermits, lonely or depressed. yet another element to keep in mind is the style of suicides and melancholy triggered by potential of peer tension and bullying - enormously with the upward thrust of (anti)social networking websites. i'm keen to guess there are greater suicides for those motives than "self-sufficiency".

I believe it's right. i don't know about other ppl but for me it's true.
i am self sufficient but I feel the need to love and being loved, though.
It's certainly true that man needs woman more than woman needs a man. Absloutely.
