havNfun Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 HI all, This day and age where women are having careers and seem to be able to change the oil in a car as well as your average man, do women need men less these days? assuming that men's hormones still have the appetite they had in past generations, could it be said that anymore, women don't need (want) men as much as men need women?

Fayebelle Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 I love, want, and need to be w/my BF. I also need my male friends. "MY guys" support and love me in a way that is unique from my girlfriends. Link to post Share on other sites
miz_barby Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 I don't "need" my man but I LOVE him and LOVE having him around, if I need him to do something for me he will but no woman should "need" a man just because she "needs" him to do things for her! It should be because she enjoys him being with her and them being together I don't "need" anyone but I don't know what I'd do without my guy! Link to post Share on other sites
Author havNfun Posted July 20, 2004 Author Share Posted July 20, 2004 I don't "need" anyone but I don't know what I'd do without my guy! okay, well in that case let me rephrase things: do women "want" a man as much as men "want" a woman? Link to post Share on other sites
miz_barby Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 Yes I want my man sometimes I wonder if he "wants" me as much as I want him! All I know is that after a year and a half I don't "long" for him anyless in any form! I love him and "want" him in every sense of the word very strongly! Link to post Share on other sites
Author havNfun Posted July 20, 2004 Author Share Posted July 20, 2004 Miz_barby, that is beautiful to hear. despite all of the relationship problems discussed on this forum, most of us share in common a deep need or desire to have peace and love between the sexes or we wouldn't be spending so much time caring about the issue. I think women are amazing, and I think that they, along with love, is the main point to living. Link to post Share on other sites
CurlyIam Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 Well, I think you are a bit right about posting this thread. I think women are more independent if you compare them to men. What I mean is, beside men needing women in their life, during the relationship (marriage), they become somewhat dependent on them. And if the relationship (marriage) is over, as far as I've seen it, they go or try to enter quite soon in another relationship, mostely because of the role women play in their life. I've read this study stating that women enter ina relationship much earlier then men (in France the average was at 19), but have trouble (as in they take time in ) rebuilding their lives should that relationship be over. Men, on the other hand, enter relationships later in life, and if it doesn't work well, they move on quicklier (as in forming another couple). Do I think women need men like they used to? Not in the classical term. We used to need the financial stability, to need them provide for the home and for the kids. So we need things from them, which made it quite clear and simple for men. Nowadays, we want/need a partner and sometimes the material things too. But most of all, we need/want a person to share the responsablities."I come up with the money, you do the rest" just doesn't do it anymore. We also need/want just as much to be loved, to be respected and to be appreciated. IT's beyond material things and don't let this fool you into thinking men's role is finished.

faux Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 Now you see why the government is so adamant about banning cloning. The men in the government are afraid women may jump on the cloning bandwagon and they will truly have no need of men. Link to post Share on other sites
sportsloving Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 LOL Faux! Sure we can change the oil or fix a flat tire ... but it is so much more interesting to watch a guy do it for us Although we may be getting more independent on ourselves for things considered to be men jobs (mowing the grass, earning the dough, changing tires) ... I believe the basics haven't changed all that much. We still want to know that we are loved, cherished, treasured, needed and wanted by the ones we love. I doubt that will ever change Link to post Share on other sites
Olivia_19742004 Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 I think the dynamics of present day relationships has changed compared to relationships a hundred years ago but I don't think that automatically equates a decreased want or need for a man. Companionship/Love is one of the hierarchy of needs (according to Maslow). Link to post Share on other sites
Leikela Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 I don't think it has anything to do with "need". There is nothing like TRUE LOVE between a man and a woman. It's the filling of emotional needs which is why we love our men so much. Of course there are still women out there that depend on men solely for financial reasons, etc and base the status of their relationship and what he can do for her, but those people are just missing out on real love. Don't worry... Women will always want men. Link to post Share on other sites
tiki Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 There will always be a need for a d!ck for me! Thank goodness I've found a man to complete my life and to bring me joy! The world would be nothing without men and women BOTH! Man is a definite necessity in my life! Who else would kill those spiders or open the jars?!?! Link to post Share on other sites
