I would think that Adam and Eve complimented each other. Weren't there apocryphal Hebrew texts which say that Adam saved Eve, even after she deceived him?
Are you a country music fan? Diamond Rio sang a song about a preacher....
The Isrealites had a method of educating their young. First, it was verbal tradition, then it was written down, then it was combined with other stories assimilated from the countries they were subjugated to. Eventually, even Persian Dualism, apocryphal symbolism and terminology from these oppressor groups made their way into Jewish thought.
The Old Testament writings can be viewed as a written educational tool, starting with simple origins as Creation, basic history through descendancy (many names of ancestors apply to regional groups around the Jews), state statistics (numbers of the tribes), laws, poetry, secular history, apocryphal writings, etc.
So, when a child asked why there were boys and girls, the story had to account for how boys and girls came into being in the first place, so the children wouldn't ask, they were taught it by reading or hearing it being read to them.

Your question is a little confusing but I am going to try and answer the best way in which I think you are talking about.
When God made Adam there were no mistakes. God saw that Adem was lonely, (being how there was no one around like him to communicate/interact with). As a result when Adam fell asleep God took one of his ribs and formed Eve to keep Adam company.
lol now I like to think that Eve is better than Adam because we were made of Adams rib and Adam was made from dirt but who really knows right. Its one of those opinion type of questions ^_^

Try reading Genesis. God created Eve for Adam.

Yes, Eve is better than Adam by nature -- women are an improvement over men.
The feminine principle is superior to the masculine in every sense. The masculine principle is the cause for the ills of the world while the feminine principle is about gentleness and nurturing. Men are vile, violent, smelly, filthy animals. Women are soft, sexy, compassionate, empathic, feeling goddesses. Its not generally the women that rape little children, wage wars, enslave whole races of people, kill for pleasure, burn crosses in people's yards or otherwise engage in inhuman wickedness, no that's what men do.

First of all, God does not make mistakes - regardless of what I look like.
Adam was perfect - so was Eve.
I believe mankind would still be in Eden if Adam had been a real man and not ate the fruit. So......
Maybe you are right after all. Maybe Eve is better than Adam.
NOT!

If he had thought Adam was a mistake he never would have created Eve from one of Adam's ribs.

God does not do mistakes God is complete .. if there are some differences between Adam & Eve it doesn't mean God corrected any flaws.. These differences serve their role in life

i read somewhere that god actualy made a man and woman equal and there was a doninance issue, and lillth left adam then god made eve out of his rib to show mans dominance over woman, the same place it pointed out that in the original bible (not the sad translations of english we have) that it was a joint decision and it never spacificaly says that santn was the snake but a lesser demon.was the snake, it was a groupe of people trying to re translate the bible better for the english readers so we have the whole story.

I think that they are both equal. He created them as two unique beings.
And I'm not sure if he made any mistakes with Adam. I'm pretty sure Adam was perfect as well as Eve upon creation.

Eve was the one who fell into temptation first, and she was the one who convinced Adam to sin as well.
I'm not sure that God made any mistakes though.
