I am the type of gal that does not "NEED" to be taken care of..... but I must admit I sure like the idea of "my guy" being able to take care of me. For istance.... my car dies on the side of the road.... he comes and rescues me or something frightens me.... he there to "hold" me in his arms. Such a nice thought. Do you want your guy or gal to be able and willing to take care of you although you might not necessarily "need" to be taken care of?

Absolutely! That feeling never goes away, even when we grow up. Its a nurturing feeling when a guy wants to protect you, keep you out of harms way, take care of your needs, etc.
The key is, to be able and willing to take care of your own needs...there should be a balance. So many women, unfortunately, don't know how to support themselves, or even put gas in their own cars! That damsel in distress in reality can be pretty pathetic. I'm all about the womn who is on top of her game, the woman who doesn't need a man to breathe...
being in a loving relationship is just the icing on the cake. Good luck.

I was always the kind of gal that wanted to do everthing on her own and my guy let me with a word of encougerment now and then. But then I got 'very' sick and while a lot of people said, oh he's going to leave you so at least your strong by yourself, he didnt leave and I was 'taken care of' in the sence that he paid my bills, took me to the doctors, maybe me food, helped me do my exersizes and even more. So yeah getting taken care of is nice but beign strong by yourself is a great thing too . If your lucky engouh to have someone take care of you when its needed then don't push it away take it with a smile and a thank you.

Absolutely!!! I feel that no person should be dependent on another, but having a special someone to have your back is nice. I am the giver in my marriage. I take care of everything, home, kids, husband & work. My need from him, is to take the trash out. Relationships are give and take. No matter what a person says, you always need someone at a certain point (s) in your life.

I don't need it either but must admit I'd like the idea of Kris being able to take care of me to an extent but I'm too independent and I like to do my own thing once an awhile so I don't think it would work.

Hi Sunshine! We're both the same girl! I know how to take care of myself but I also recognize that I'm no Wonder Woman who could solve every problem in the world. Perhaps, the best thing my man could do for me is by giving me moral boost or giving me advice whenever I lose perspective. I hope I could finally find that kind of man.

Some degree of "being taken care of" is essential to a relationship!
A happy relationship happens when you do little things to "take care of" your mate. When they feel taken care of, they focus more of their time on taking care of YOU. It is an upward spiral that gets better and better.
I had many neglectful relationships, and when I decided that I needed a man who "took care of me" better than the rest, I married him, and won the jackpot.
He takes out the trash, carries all the heavy stuff, works full time to pay all the bills, and even cooks if I am too sick (pregnant) to cook. He also takes great care of our 19 month old daughter. I feel taken care of, and this makes me do things to take care of him.

Well said! I think your question exemplifies are we're all coming around to the way things were before, when we took care of each other's needs knowing women and men have different needs.

Would be nice, once in a while, to feel he puts me first in his life, but alas, after 20 years I've given up :( And this from a guy who I cater to constantly. Everyone needs some 'rescuing' or 'pampering' once in a while!

Yes I do! My husband is that type of guy and actually, it works both ways...we take good care of each other's needs and wants, everyday.
