If you’ve been doing everything independently on your own.
Some guys will want something in return that you’re not willing to give.
They seem to forget that women in general just want to make enough to take care of her and the kids when they get married. They don't want marriage, but tell the dependant women that, and don't marry them. Or they do can't handle it, and masturbate to other women if not already cheat. If marriage life gets too hard, they want out or regret it. They'll screw an independent woman. Some may knock her up, mock her for tricking and using her. These men who are like that are TOXIC and no good. I am a virgin, never dated, or been with a man. I have seen it all and been around it. They're hypocrites. I am technically broke, always have been. They mock you for being broke. They blame you for going to school. Shame you for the job you have, mad at you for getting some good for yourself. Mock you for not having "experience" of dating, sex, marriage, or kids, upset that you have none at all. 🤷♀️
"How do you make a man feel needed?" Let me tell you something. Stop PEOPLE-PLEASING! It's not about how to make a man feel needed. They know they're quality men deserving of a woman who wants to contribute and love. Men who don't feel needed as are women, need to be in an environment, where their skills, talents, and natural abilities come ALIVE. Where it is stress-free for the most part, in a healthy, thriving environment. Just like children. If you provide that and they're still unhappy I have news for you: Either they're depressed or suffering from mental illness, or they're taking you for granted. If the latter, leave that relationship.
@Mjwills123 I understand. It doesn’t help in detail how am I making you feel need it. That doesn’t explain my updates
Show appreciation for the little things he may do for you as well as the big things. Doesn't necessarily need to be repayed in sex or things which cost money. Could simply be a "babe I really appreciate you cooking for us today ", or babe "thank you for taking washing up the dished today, I had a really long day at work".
With us guys a lot of the time we are judged and we even judge ourselves on our ability to provide for our families. Which honestly does take a lot of time and energy. So from time to time a compliment can go a long way.
@Mjwills123 ok I will try to do better. Just because I can do things by myself doesn’t mean I don’t need a man. I feel like that’s the problem guys sit there and do. Guys wanna look at us and then eliminate themselves from the equation when we still need you
I don't think guys are the problem here. If the otherwise independent woman fails to be interdependent in the relationship, what else is the guy to think other than "what am I here for?"
Just because you can do things for yourself. Doesn't mean doing everything for yourself in a relationship works. When y'all come together you become a unit.
Everybody brings something to the table. Guys often don't want to feel like they can be replaced by a vibrator a loan or just a friend.
But I do admire the fact that you will try to do better.

>> How do you make a man feel needed?
I don't like to feel "needed". That's like being with a drug addict who needs a fix. I like feeling "wanted". Free will.
I do love feeling "supported" like she believes in me and thinks I will guide our family/household to success... but not "needed". I can feel needed by kids. I don't want to feel needed by wife.
I believe as in you maintain and take care of yourself such as bills or if you decide to go out you can pay a tip. These are small things but mostly does have your own place
I like small gestures for sure. But I genuinely preferred the independent ones and married one. My wife is a book publisher and editor, for example, and at the top of her company.
and thats fine. Im just saying that the ones that feel the need to advertise being a strong independent woman are usually anything but
Letting a man do something for you doesn't mean you can't do it yourself. That's how you make a man feel useful and desired, let him do things for you. On the flip side, I would be careful not to ask for more than he is willing to give.
Well I don’t wanna always give the guy sex due him doing something nice. Especially if we’re not together.
Lol meaning why can’t a guy just do something nice to be doing it. Why is there always got to be sex attached? Especially if I didn’t ask for it or I can pay it back? With money
@Justneedtokno. Any women who touts being "Independent" is to be avoided. In this context "independent" means "cunty".
Wait no. I mean independent as in the “bootstraps” way. She works she has her own place her own car her own. Not that she’s prideful full about it.
@Justneedtokno. How is having a job, car, and apartment, being "independent". This is just survival or not being homeless.
Meaning you always talk about girls wanting you for money but if she’s able to take care of her self. That illuminates that
No it doesn't. She still wants the man to pay for everything, take her on expensive trips, buy her gifts, etc. Just because you have a job, apartment, and car, does not make you anything special.
I feel like if you’re independent you’re able to do those things. That The point is I’m not asking you to do anything. Wouldn’t it just be having a guy add to it like y’all can put in for a bigger trip or bigger gifts or whatever it is.
If it worked that way, yes, but it normally doesn't. Women still expect men to pay for dining out, trips, expensive Valentine's shit, and other things.
Well I have learned it’s the little things that count. I am an average woman I have my own and I work hard. And if you’re raised by a man. Like I was he teaches me to be independent. Somethings I’m not gonna get it because I’m just not a man. But other things I can pull myself up and work it out and do it. I wouldn’t want no man to treat me other than the way that my father treats me.
