Does A woman Need A Man? I Mean Really, Really?
Or Am I Being Weak Here?I, for one need a man. I paid too high a price for my so-called freedom and independence which I start to detest when I’m lonely and in need of support and appreciation from a MAN.
Freedom and independence sound great but what would you be willing to give up for it?
When I was going through that painful divorce , the thought of being free and independent was such a comfort. I told myself it would be nice to be free again, live my life the way I want it, do what I want, cook what I want, come and go anytime and wherever I want…and I’m doing all of that now. 
The truth is, I’m not proud of it, I’m unhappy and I feel such a huge void inside me when I’m alone and no one to talk to and cuddle with. 
I’m in a long distance relationship and I’ll be lying if I say that I’m happy and content with exchanging messages, photos, naughty sexy chats and exchanging comforting words over the phone with someone living in another country and just meet up for long weekend every few months.
The truth is...It sucks! 
I miss having a man beside me, to talk to… and argue with every few bad days of the month, the same man I will rely on when things fall apart, same man who will make me feel protected and tells me all will be OK, same man who will make me feel desirable, wanted and needed . I miss having someone who asks me how’s my day, when and where did I go, what will I cook for dinner and will ask me “what’s wrong ?” when he sees the troubled and unhappy expression in my eyes
I’m not looking for a super man. Just like me, he doesn’t have to be perfect, just MAN enough to understand the imperfect woman in me, the crazy silly person in me , love me for who I am and can meet me halfway
He has to be someone I can share everything with and could bring out the best in me so I could accomplish my role as a woman
Someone who can do a bit of fixing and carpentry jobs will be a bonus…and of course he’s got to be cuddly and a good kisser
. Am I asking too much? I hate the thought that I could be living a single life for the rest of my life.
. I would prefer to have a man beside me and grow old with him. Does that make me a weak woman?

In what sense?
Does that mean you can live a whole life without a man?wine or does that mean, you will have a man only the time you want one or whenever, wherever it's convenient?"
Hi CH,
I don't "need" in the sense that I would be dependent on them, financially or otherwise.
I "want" because I like being with him, enjoy his company, and want the things a man brings to colour my life...
And yes, I 'want' That too
22:30 my time here and pretty cool outside...perfect weather for a nice walk and maybe a date
Yes, hygiene and looks matters. I used to be with man who shaves his private part...it was such a shock to me when I touched someone else and it felt strange and different but I've gotten used to it now
I know some women here who spends on their man. I won't mind sharing, give and take...or helping if my man needs my help...I don't have much to give but I would do my best to help him get on his feet and support him if needed. It's totally different when you know someone is taking life easy and taking advantage of you.
That's fairly logical and sensible
I'm sure I can live without a man... technology can offer us everything there is that a man can offer...but still, I would love to have a manly body and male strength beside me
another accessory
Not sure I would have the iron nerve necessary to play it cool and disinterested with someone I really fancied, but on recent experience, and your comments, I will bear it in mind. Hard to get, good. Honest yes-I-like-the-look-of-you-too, not good. All comes back to waiting until we're approached, being coy ...
Got it. I think.
As for the blog question: no, a woman doesn't need a man any more than a man needs a woman. We're functioning adults. To feel the need, and have it reciprocated, is pretty cool, though. I'd never date for the sake of dating, but to be with someone I really liked? yes please.
With the right man, I can agree with that. I believe there's somebody for everyone...but others chose to be alone and stubbornly say that they don't need someone, makes me wonder if they ever get lonely and really happy with their choice
Yes, I'm talking about being with someone you really like...one that can share life with and be happy with. Ain't that so much better than living alone? Don't you get fed up from your own company sometimes? Don't you ever long to have someone to lash out to when life's is not going the way you want it?
Are you sure about that?
Perhaps it's during the times we're not in relationship that it's very good to learn, to Know, that we're already whole in our essence, in our totality, just as we are.
And then, inside that Knowing, we deeply know that we need a deep connection, need love and companionship, and that that's all so perfectly beautiful
I guess we all need that beautifully perfect feeling...whatever it is that makes us happy, I'm sure it varies for each one of us.
We should be happy with ourselves first...and it's not crime to want to be happier being with someone else. Sounds greedy but I'll take my chances if I can be happy with someone
I have been in a long distance relationship...it is tough!!
Have you not thought about joining him...moving to his part of the world or him moving to where you live?...eventually?...
Don't work too hard...and have fun!!
Hope you're not working too hard there.
Moving in together is not really feasible at the moment. But who knows what the future may bring?
Hope you're having a lovely day there. I'm just about to sleep here
Well, If I can go back, yes I will. It would be to that time before he left...I was happily married then
long time no see...hope the auctions are going well these days?
Well, I wasn't talking about someone's shaved private here
I am a "special guy". It don't matter, shaved or not...I am down there.
Glad to know your preferences, John
Where's Rob?
Yes, I kept missing his blogs...he always post it at the wrong time of my day.
what do you think he's up to?
Rob, if you're reading this, say something before I go to sleep. My washing machine is almost done...

It's a busy day for me, but just thought I'd stop by and say Hello!
Now, to answer your blog question, "Does a woman need a parrot? Does a man need a dog? Does a woman need a cat? Do drinkers need a beer? Does Johnny need to make 5.99 a minute phone calls? Does Angel have to charge me for comments? lol
Okay, just kidding..
Have a cool fun day!

Just wondering. see -->
Good to see you!

Who goes and buy the ibuprofen at 3 a.m during that time of the month?
I do have first aid kit...always make sure I have all the basic meds I would need
My mom is far away and enjoying her old age with my dad along with their grandchildren....
As for making babies...I have yet to find a father material...
