Do women really need guys other than sex?

I can only speak for myself, but it's not that I need a man in my life in general. It's wanting and hoping to meet the man that I can't live without. When I meet him, he'll be needed in every way.

its sad to hear that women don't need men. I dont mean financially or provisionally, but it seems as though you just dont need men period. What man wants to hear this? What man would feel good knowing he's not needed. I think its a sad state of affairs when we hear things like this, the majority of these posts to me just go to show that men ( as much as women say otherwise) seem to be less desired and needed by women now a days.


LOL. If only it was believable. No woman (or man for that matter) would even be here without a man or a woman. I think it's hyperbole when we hear stories like these. There are cases where at a point in time a person doesn't want or need the opposite sex in their life but for the vast amount of people out there do in fact want someone and if Abraham Maslow was indeed correct then a vital component of human need is for love and belonging regardless of gender.

What I think people are "really" saying when they say they don't need someone is "I don't need someone who isn't going to bring an improvement ot my life" . No one's going to turn down someone who can make an impact in their life in a positive manner.

Women on like men want companionship. Someone to share their love with and someone to care about. Regardless if a woman has a child or not , MOST women feel the need to take care of someone. I believe it's just something in the female that likes to give and feel needed my another human being. Again I am sure not every woman feels this way. But most of us do because thats the way God made us. We are givers/pleaser's and like to know that we are wanted and needed. Some women may feel that sex is the only thing a man is good for because she may have been hurt so many times she doesn't want to put herself out there , only to get hurt again.

give me a break, most men aren't even that good at sex...you have to train them....
Dam sorry to hear that you've had to train your men. Are they all really good looking guys? Just wondering because I'm thinking that ugly guys are better at sex than good looking guys are.

Just a thought.

I need men because they think different than I do. They give me a totally new perspective. I know that for a couple of years after my divorce, I was so busy taking care of my daughter and grandson, that I had not time to even think about dating. And I found I missed male conversation. Really missed the male point of view about things. And, this sounds really hokey, but they make me feel small and feminine and protected. Or, something like that. Anyway, they are just different creatures than myself, and I enjoy their company.

There are many of those women that the OP described, but me, OH, I need and want a man! I'm not ashamed or too independent to admit it. I love men and all their great differences. So what if they tend to be pricks sometimes, women can be total b.itches too. But at the end of the day, this b.itch needs her prick, and not just for the sex either.
Seriously though, a man can provide so much to a woman's life. A strong body, a hand to hold, a new or different perspective, a protector, a lover(not just sex but real love making), someone to do the icky things like kill the bugs or take out the trash, lol, a father to our children, a fixer upper, and just someone to really appreciate that is totally different than we are. There is no better feeling than that of a man who loves us unconditionally.
Oh, not to mention their smell, hairy bodies(hopefully), muscles, rough man hands and deep voices. Of course there are other parts too, but we aren't supposed to be talking about sex here, lol.
OK, you get the point, enough, I better go find a man.

Very similar to the question in the "Ask a Guy" thread right now about self confidence in a woman.

I swear, I'm starting to feel like I need to club a bunch of guys over the head to get it throught their heads that women do not just want men to have babies or be provided for.

I know this is probably difficult to understand as you men must all know how incredibly frustrating you all can be but still, you're...men and that in itself is sexy and desirable (unless a woman is a lesbian I guess) and no I do not believe men and women were created and made differently for the sole purpose of reproducing and suriving.

I need to go scream into my pillow now. Be back later.

Women need male energy to feel like a woman.
Men need female energy to feel like a man.

Men and women carry both female and male energy...

The male energy brings her into her female energy. Makes her feel like a woman.
The female brings him into his male energy. Make him feel more like a man.

I have always wondered if this is why some women become lesbians. They havent had a successful relationship with a man so they stay in their male energy...and are unable to move into their female energy.

If you say that all men are bad..not so...you have just chosen bad men. It was your own fault. There are books about this stuff.

I like the way a good man makes me feel about myself.
I think men are awesome... They have a different view of life than women do.. It is the other half of the puzzle piece. Fits nicely together.

Good luck on that Red. You may wear your arm out before it sinks in. Woeful is the man that doesn't know his own worth and
projects that on others. It's really a self fulfilling prophecy. If he doesn't feel he brings value then he likely won't bring any.
It sounds like a bit of a mask "I'm a horrible lover/confidant but an excellent Handyman...you want me?".

You seem to be very uptight and judgemental of everything and everyone. Why are you on here if you just poitn out every flaw you see in people. Plus as a plant supervisor I would think they would want someone that can spell. Better check your profile with spell check next time :) If you don't want a man then do you prefer a woman maybe.

I like mowing lawns, drilling holes, fixing things, tightening jam jars as tight as they'll go (just kidding) ...gives us some purpose when you can't open them again...

women need men to fertilize the egg. women need men to help provide resources for her off spring. women want men to do the hard labor. women want men to help in protection too. it's really quite simple what men are wanted/needed for.

"Sex is achievable without men too may I add!!!"

UM, yes, but why on earth would you want to go solo??
Let me be blunt here, like thats anything new. No dildo, vibrator, hand or whatever you have is going to do it for me like a REAL MAN!!
I don't care what women say, sooner or later they will miss the feeling of a mans c.ock inside of them. The overall experience of a mans body next to yours, on top of yours, behind yours. The smells, the tastes, the sounds, the feeling of skin to skin contact. That moment when a man looks into your eyes with passion and want, then the feeling of his hands running down your body until you feel overcome with excitement. That first taste of his lips, his tongue touching yours, then the way his body leans into you to where you can feel..... OK you get the point???
Anyway, a man does it for me and I never want to be without that feeling. Like I said before, i'm not to independent or ashamed to admit, I want and need a man. Don't get me wrong, it isn't just for the sex, I see it as more for the intimacy, affection, and passion that we all need as humans. Sure you can have sex by yourself, or you can get a man for just sex, but they are so much more to me than just that. It would be a sad world when we would just use the opposite sex for just sex and not appreciate what they bring to a relationship.


PS- I have a feeling that a lot of women who claim they don't need a man or have these rebellious attitudes towards men, have probably been hurt way too many times by bad men. The pain is still there and maybe they feel a good man is hard to come by. I have felt that too, but you can never give up. Eventually, you will find one and then I think your opinions will change.

actually not really.an they aren't need for sex either,when you look at it..

But the pros would be,

needed for doing some manual labor around the house or car or garage etc etc..

to donate some sperm but that can be done in 2 minutes or with artifical insemination..

an of course when running low on funds it's nice to have an "automatic atm machine" around..

but other then that..

naw not really needed...

i think men are completely neccesary. i would also assert that 99.9% of women would agree with me as opposed to "ms dowdy," as i like to call her.

i have known many successful women over the years, ones that gave up family and kids for this delusion of feminist independence only to find themselves in thier late thirties or early forties and confronting the fact that they will most likely grow old alone. it's truly sad to see this. i have had many older female friends that told me how betrayed they felt by buying into that feminist ideology. i mean, at the end of the day, is your "job" going to cry for you when you are gone? nope.

personally, i have never been all that career oriented, and have always derived more pleasure in my personal life. companionship and having a true partner is such a blessing in life... why anyone would chose to live with out that is beyond me...

Nope, we don't need men. We make our own money, have sex toys, artificial insemination, etc. Men are useless. Is that what you wanted to hear? If we didn't want one from time to time, none of us would be here. Not need but want.

Not that I want to sound old fashion or anything...but I need a man to make me feel secure and safe. I sleep better at night with a man in my house. Then again...I don't have a man right now and I sleep pretty well since I have a big dog for security...so hmmmmmm...Nope...I guess we only need you for sex...we just WANT men for more.
