Want/need

Do you want or need a man in your life? Why do men feel like they have been insulted when I say I want a man in my life but don't need one? Surely they would be happy that I was with them because I wanted to be with them and not because I needed to be.confused

In my case, I want and need a man. wave
I have never "needed" a man in my life, always "wanted" one as a companion. I do quite well on my own and always have. I do not depend on anyone for anything, but it would be nice to have a partner to share things with like life.

I do not want or need a man , but just incase i may need a man i want a man
That was notsupposed to be posted , hahahaha . I was playi g with my thoughts .
Thankyou for your input, I now know I'm not totally bonkers.banana
To do as i want means freedom to me, and freedom is one of the basic needs in life.
I need a man 'cause i want him.
Independent EU ladies. Bark a lot about it. Rarely, meet a man open to committment. Variously push them away with the tedious all so 80's ueber feminist shuck 'n jive. Saggy, bitter, lonely fate awaits her. But there are exceptions of grounded sentimentality, high in self esteem. Aa.
Just because I don't need a man doesn't make me a feminist, yes I'm independent, and I agree we ladies who grew up in the 80's are independent and we won't put up with chauvinism.
Interesting Blog

and with all due respect , You`re wrong
now keep in mind that I`ve said with all due respect laugh
Helo Emmy..
I don't need a man to cook, iron, clean etc.
I can and have done all those things myself.
But professor
I want a man to do that for me, while I flirt with cs men. giggle
Naahh just kidding.

I want a man because I love him and NOT because I need him. head banger
Fully agree with you I want a man to Love.
Well you can love any man you want,
The question is will he love you back. wine
Dedo,
I always knew you were a real Gentleman beer laugh
That is the problem, will he love you back.sigh
Red I, yes respect, which opens another question. Where has all the respect gone?
Non, what gave me away...laugh
I enjoy having a man in my life cause my life wouldn't be the same without my man friend in it.

There are just some things that I don't enjoy doing alone.
If a woman told me that she wanted me but did not need me it would not bother me but if she told me she needed me and did not want me that would hurt me. It is difficult to be in a relationship with a needy woman.
If you don't mind water, whats a needy woman?
it's nice to feel needed. Reciprocation would be ideal.
The short answer is the human Psyche.

Many people need to be wanted and needed. I wouldn't have married my wife if I felt she didn't need me. I wouldn't have felt "special" to her.

If you really, really like a man, and got that response from him, how secure would you feel if you wanted a marriage with him?

Maybe you'd feel completely secure, but for most of us 'mere mortals', security in a relationship involved more than just being wanted - being needed takes the intimacy to the next level. And that, I feel, is where the magic happens.....
Better explain myself on this one. I don't need a man to provide for me, to do my diy or to do all the 'manly' things but I want a man for him, for love, respect conversation and cuddles.
I get you emmy but the man i would like is someone who can manage on his won same as me and then together wow would be sparks and evenly balanced friendship---with benifitsgrin
FedEx you word it so much better than me than you handshake
Sorry redex bloody auto correct
Then there's Frank Zappa's, peace be upon him, idea of the perfect woman----the little rubber blow up doll. Three holes and no lip. Aa.
1 to 1 wave wave well it is not all women who say that.

Hows you doing this sunday teddybear
I wonder on how many men would say that they don't need a woman in their lives.hmmm
Well 1to1 If I hadn't had a man in my life for almost 20 some years he and I couldn't have had some good times together and made some real good memories of our life together.

My guy friend I have now is a real doll and I am feel so so so lucky and thankful that he is part of my life.
Hello Redex,wave and you too CCwave I would say I don t need a woman in my life, at times , My world at times gets rather quiet, and lonely, and the thought of having someone in my life is tempting.Then I have to remember ,things aren t that bad, maybe I have to remember, if its not broken ,don t try to fix it. I could try and improve the situation, but at what costdunno
1to 1 At what cost is a very good question.hug
I am a man and reading what you said makes me want to run from you. I want a woman to need me as I also need her.
That is your prerogative - mine is to never be desperate enough to let someone treat me bad. Love and respect (also for myself) goes hand in hand imo. We both want each other in our lives and want a partner with a strong personality that is able to get through life.
Yes so very true. Better to be wanted than needed. You have great insight.
In my case, I still want and need a man giggle


I’m such a needy person, and clingy too! help
Mimi! reunion

I want, not need.

I may need the individual when he is part of my life. But I don't need the concept of a man. There's a difference.
Indeed I do Think This All Well Said on Both Sides Indeed . Well done . I Concur
Heard this once and thought I would share.

I don't love you cause I need you, I need you cause I love you.
When a woman say's she don't need a man, it appears as if she holds resentment towards men and maybe a previous serious relationship broke down badly, so she won't give her all to a new man in her life and could walk away without any investment
I don't want/need a man in my life cause I'm getting to old to hometrain one.laugh laugh
