Posted: 2/13/2008 9:03:02 AM | | A woman may have it all..but there comes a point in your life where it feels like there' s something missing. It's not just sex..it's having a relationship with someone extraordinary. The problem is finding him first. | |

Posted: 2/13/2008 9:05:13 AM | The need for men sexually is debatable. Men are not nessessary for orgasims, so I guess their use is limited to "sperm donor".
Oh, yea, there are sperm banks for that.
...Never mind... | |

Posted: 2/13/2008 9:05:13 AM | | Someone to share life with. I'm independent, I don't NEED a man. If I don't find the right someone, I will be fine. But I hope to find a companion, someone to come home to and share life with. Someone to laugh with me, hold me if I need to cry, tell me it will be alright in the morning. | |

Sex (not needed but preferred).
Companionship.
Friendship.
Women don't need men as much anymore for anything they can provide; many can and do however. It's more the social and emotional that men provide - and again, not a need but a desire. And that's fine.
On one hand, men who supported women years ago felt more secure because they knew it was harder for those women to support themselves. On the other hand, they had to live with the fact that she may have been there for the money, or shelter of it than for him and who he was. She could have met another man who provided the same and it really wasn't a big deal to go off with him.
Nowadays, men don't know how to deal with the fact that there's not much in the way of possesions they can bring to the table that she doesn't have already if she wants it. I think men mistake this as being a situation where they can easily be dismissed or left for another guy, but it's not true.
For men, this SHOULD be the best time ever - because she may not necessarily need you to survive, but she might WANT you for who you are. That's light years better. She's less apt to leave you for someone else, because she's with you for you. Men can't hide behind portfolios anymore, they now have to date based on who they are. | |

Posted: 2/13/2008 9:15:01 AM | Thanks for pointing out most women enjoy partying on the weekend. I didn't know that.
I'm sorry to break the news to you but we don't need you for sex either. There are some satisfactory alternatives. We need your sperm but we can make a withdrawal at the bank.
We need you because humans generally speaking are not solitary creatures. We desire companionship. We like feeling that we share similar goals with someone and work toward those together. We like feeling attractive and desirable to someone. We even like feeling needed and nurturing someone. | |

PS Those hugging smileys are quite neat, but sometimes girl needs a real hug, from someone who cares... Tis all.  | |

Posted: 2/13/2008 9:53:34 AM | Simple... because the love that you can share with someone is THE MOST marvellous thing anyone could ever possibly possess. Because material possessions are just that, material possessions. You could never compare companionship to riches, as you could never compare good health to anything else.
Being an "independant Woman" should never threaten a relationship she shares/or can share with a Man. One doesn't cancel out the other. I mean who says that complete dependancy on a Man is attractive? Or vise versa? Would you not want to have a Lady whom you know can "be her own woman" or who can be alright in this big bad world when you aren't around?? I mean face it, dependant on someone or not we cannot ALWAYS be there with the other person holding their hand through every walk of life. It's like having children. You love them, protect them and want the most for them, but you cannot always be there to do these things for them.
Everyone (man/woman alike) all want to know that they are capable of standing on their own two feet and taking care of themselves. There is nothing wrong with that.
With that said, it doesn't for a second mean that we don't want a man around.
Remember something.....Being in a "healthy relationship" means that you love who you are when you're together, because you "compliment NOT complicate" one another - and that you are whole alone (as individuals) as well. That's what makes it work. Knowing that you are still your own person with or without your significant other ...but together your heart need only have one heart beat to share.... | |

Ah, yes. I completely forgot about that. It's been so long. Bob doesn't have arms. 
My children's hugs are nice, but not the same. | |

Posted: 2/13/2008 9:55:18 AM | I have to disagree with your post OP, only because you are making a crucial mistake that a lot of people make...you are using generalizations to describe all women.
Have you ever thought that maybe it is the type of woman you are going out with that causes you to feel this way?
I personally am very capable of taking care of myself and my children, but my preference is to be in a stable, loving relationship.
I want that person in my life that I know will have my back when it feels like the world is crashing in around me. I want that person that I can do the very same thing for them.
For me it has nothing to do with how independent I am, or how finacially well off I might be, or even sex. It is about having a partner in life. | |

Posted: 2/13/2008 1:16:42 PM | | A women may not "need" to have "a guy" in their life, for anything at all. But when you love someone dearly the need for them to be a part of your life naturally grows. Loving someone and having that person in your life, being able to express that love and to live it enables a person to be more than they could ever be alone. A woman doesn't need "a man" but she needs the one she loves. | |

Posted: 2/13/2008 1:23:12 PM | that's too funny with this topic. right now, i don't need a man for sex because i'm not being bothered by the fact of not getting laid. (sorry to be blunt) other than sex a woman needs a man for companionship, someone to talk to, maybe even a gentle hug or a shoulder to cry on. it gets tiresome going out with the girls all of the time it's nice to have a change of scenery every once in a while. right now in my eyes, sex is not an option to any man, it's a bonus that has to come from the heart accompanied by loyalty, trust, and respect. once i find that guy and he's there for me completely as i will be with him, then we would go the rest of the way but this very minute, it's the companionship that a man has to offer me, not the sex.
did i make any sense there? | |

Posted: 2/13/2008 1:30:36 PM | They can use us for social status
But I too think it's the deeper feelings that a man and woman share that they seek and is why you always see the headlines seeking a truly nice guy.
I think there will be a time when the roles are reversed... when the guys are crying because a girl just stomped their feelings. (Happens to me all the time sans me crying about it) | |

I'm not independent.
I like men.
I like needing a man.
I like how a good man makes me feel.
I can take care of myself, but I like taking care of my man even better. | |

Posted: 2/13/2008 3:56:44 PM | "Someone needs to kill the big hairy bugs." That tends to be me. Ever watch a 6'4" man jump on the coach and scream like a girl?
Frankly I don't need a man, but having one is very nice. I like the snuggling, the kissing, the sharing of thoughts and opinions and companionship. No offense to my female friends because they are there for me, but there is a different comfort when your man is there for you. | |

Posted: 2/13/2008 3:58:45 PM | | Yeah i think it's mainly about companionship and being with someone who is happy to see you when you come home and who just wants to be with you for who you are. Someone who wants to hug you and be close to you whenever they can. And it sounds like most of you woman are putting aside the sex in your relationship as an important part of it even though you might n0t enjoy it as much as your man does it is still something that has to be maintained on a regular basis in order to keep your successfull relationship. Guys do feel the need to be with they're woman sexually on a regular basis, not just for pleasure. But in justification that the woman is playing they're part in fulfilling the needs of they're partner. A relationship is a two way street. What you give and what you take and what you like and what you don't like may not be the same things, but every thing must even itself out to keep a healthy relationship. It's all about equality. | |

Posted: 2/13/2008 4:03:34 PM | | Thats just it. A truly independent doesn't *need* a man, she wants one. Having someone special who adds that extra j'ne ces quoi to your life is priceless, but I think once a woman *needs* to have a man to make her or her life complete, is when it becomes dangerous. | |

Posted: 2/13/2008 5:27:34 PM | YEAH! Men are wonderful. They can do things that I can not do such as fix stuff. They feel good to hold at night when you are sleeping. They kill bugs, kiss you all over , rub your feet and squeeze you very tightly when you reach your orgasmic experience. They have strong hairy chests and big hands. No mechanical thing can do all that and do it as good as a man!
Personally, if men weren't on the planet, I'd jump off. | |
