Men, what do you think of the *I don't need a man* women?
- 1.8K opinions shared on Dating topic.
Most women who have told me that they don't need a man have, within 5 minutes of uttering those words, asked me for something or wanted me to do something for them.
I've known plenty of genuinely strong and independent women in my life. My aunt, who ran a trucking company for 40 years, in charge of 30-40 rough men, for example. Or a boss I had when I worked in IT for an international bank. None of those women ever referred to themselves as "strong and independent" because it was unnecessary - it was obvious to anyone after 5 minutes. But neither did any of them ever act dismissive of men, despite their positions of authority over them. I'm pretty sure they were all in relationships with men, but no one ever called them weak because of it.
When I hear women say those words, I know she's really trying to convince herself by saying that out loud, and that it probably won't take long for her actions to prove the statement a lie.

I think who hurt them so bad that they think they don’t need their counterpart I’ve accepted that men and women need each other even if we think we don’t we do anyone who thinks otherwise should stop lying to themselves

My theory is the men confuse need with loyalty and assume a woman who does not need him will not be loyal to him when in reality, it’s the woman who need a guy that are less likely to be loyal to him if he loses his job or his intelligence or health, since these woman are not independent enough to look after somebody else when it is not equally returned by the same measure of good use.

It's an unnecessary and unappealing show of bravada or independence. I'm not impressed by that.

Many will say turn-off, let's just understand that. Most of those women don't because many men don't do what they got to do and shame and mock them, but abuse the ones who do. The truth is we all need in each other. But many don't need a man to be happy, and nowadays that can mean a lot of things. I just think everybody is not respecting what a woman means. It is all based on her attitude and intent. Nobody knows why she doesn't, but they shame her for not. I have friends who need a man, but they consistently get hurt, used, and abused. They don't feel good enough.
So it's best to be careful when generalizing men and women in this area. There are men who understand why a woman don't. And there are men who are mad they can't use a woman that have 0 to do with that guy. There are women who don't need a man because they were taught and raised to be independent for good reasons. Those women who were used abused also and are FORCED to be that and now don't need one to protect themselves from that AGAIN. Those you just have independence naturally and really don't need a man. They are not disrespectful. They're just stating that they don't, the insecure men are the ones who get mad. Then you have those who don't, and want and is unstable. And others who don't and really hate men, period.
So again, It really matters of intent and what meaning are you saying? -
Most of the times what women say, deep inside it has a different true meaning but they are afraid to tell it out loud because of jealousy or other sorts. For example when a woman sees another woman who is more attractive and becomes jealous, she might say that she is a slut. Or when girls are jealous because boys are stronger than girls, girls would tell things like "o you know what, you boys are stupid brutes", or other things like "toxic masculinity". So they interpret 'being stronger' as being 'bad' just to feel good about themselves.
This one also has true meanings:
It can mean:
- " Omg boyfriend cheated on me. "
- Or because of the fact that men are known to be the more independent sex when it comes to genders and generations by generations we know that women always relied on men more than other way round. So because of knowing this, women become jealous hence why lot of women nowadays are trying to become 'like men'. And that's why feminists get obsessed with words like 'independent', 'strong', 'performant', etc. Because these attributes are what men Excell better at than women. - 384 opinions shared on Dating topic.
I find it unattractive "turn off" if someone isn't interested in me. Pursuing someone who is uninterested in me seems pretty creepy. That's the kind of attitude that leads to stalking, rape, coercion, etcetera. That's the attitude that says, "what you want doesn't matter, what I want is the only thing that matters."
If a woman is just pretending to be uninterested, that's also a turn off because it means she's being manipulative and playing games. I enjoy playing games, it can be a lot of fun, but I don't enjoy games which are manipulative and designed to trap or deceive. - 2.4K opinions shared on Dating topic.
It is unattractive. It wreaks of pride and ego and of hostile intent.
I don't need a woman. I can live a full life, do lots of things, support myself and have times with my friends... but I want a woman. I want a woman in my life, I want companionship and a life partner. I couldn't have the child we have without her and I need her to help raise the baby.
Life is better with her in my life and we help each other and balance each other.
Those that spout that off... they seem to have dark, cold and black hearts so it is definitely a turn off. They seem to hate and want to rebel against the natural order of life... men and women want each other... they have relationships, raise families together... grow old together. They seem to want to rebel against nature's natural way. - 313 opinions shared on Dating topic.
They annoy the hell out of me and I would never date a girl that says that shit.
Sounds like they would have commitment issues and never value the relationship fully cause "she dont need me".
Just to prideful and full of them selves to ever admit they need help, we all need help sometimes, nothing wrong with it, so women who so aregently claim "they dont need a man" really rub me the wrong way.
Good thing they dont need a man, cause they will never get one with that attitude - 629 opinions shared on Dating topic.
Why would it matter if she turns me on or turns me off? She doesn't need a man, so let her just go to a sperm bank when she wants to have babies, toxic masculinity or whatever.
Do you notice that there aren't very many of those women in their 30's? Such a peculiar phenomenon that strikes only very young women until they might actually want a family, or have been a single mother for a while and think hmm, maybe this isn't ideal, but that's already reality.
There's a group of "I don't need a woman" men, I believe they're called homosexuals.
Anywho, I find it both ridiculous and very funny. If you want to sabotage yourself for the sake of some more FB likes or whatever, by all means, it's a very classy act. Not one that turns me on though, why chase after someone who will never hold me in any high regard? Fuck that. - 1.7K opinions shared on Dating topic.
Self-reliance is good. As is having your own interests and desires. The kind of person who has a life that's satisfying on its own is the kind of person who makes the best partner, I imagine.
Unfortunately, most of the "I don't need a man" types aren't in that position. They may want a man for sex, or for money, or for companionship, but they can't admit their own limitations and desires, and often act like even conversing with you is a great and generous indulgence on their part, for which they expect to be richly rewarded. These are the kind of people who are best avoided. -
If she doesn't need a man, why is she trying to attract them and use them? 😂 These women are "independent" but rely on their sexuality to get men's money as their income. Wow, strong woman there.

They don't need a man, they don't want a man, they can go on with themselves, by themselves. These women wonder why they cannot keep a man, geez. Imagine women, being with a man who always criticizes and rants on women all the time, sound fun? Neither is it fun for the man.
I saw a woman on a program brag about how manly she is and how much she hates men and then wonders why men, worth their salt won't even look at her. It did not help her case that she sounded like a man too. She was 'ok' attractive, but OMG bitchy. It's you attitude bitch!
She's threatening to not date anymore, to the welcome relief of the men in the room. -
Never met one that meant it both in the way they lead their lives along side saying the words. I know girls who say "I don't need a man..." for xyz but "it would be nice if.." aka they want a man and have that emotional need.
They just don't want to equate emotional need to NEEDING a man to get by in life as far as survival in the modern world. Girls don't want to feel weak and many do things to PROVE they don't NEED a man.
Silly. It'd be like a guy sucking his own dick to prove to women he doesn't need them. - 850 opinions shared on Dating topic.
I believe there's two types
The I don't need a man type woman who understands that she's her own oerson and doesn't need to be referred with relation to a man to be valued. She doesn't hate men and will most likely have healthy relationships with good men, be it friends, family or romantic partners. This is a confident and strong woman who knows her talents and value. Definitely turn on.
The second type is just a bitter person, basically a female incel who chooses to hate an entire half of the population due to generalization. I have no thoughts about them. - 509 opinions shared on Dating topic.
These are often the same women who say they don't need a man, but still crave to be with one and envy women who are in relationships with quality men. These are often the same ones who end up as single mothers, or perhaps ARE single mothers and struggle with finances and stress so they try to score themselves a man who could be a provider for her and her kids.
They boast about not needing a man, but are the very ones who cry the most about being single. - 3.2K opinions shared on Dating topic.
They're annoying and are trying to deflect from the fact that they likely don't get any attention from men at all, so they go on the offensive and preemptively say that they don't need them. That being said, self-sufficiency is attractive because it shows that she doesn't need a man in order for her to function in life, which means he can trust her to get things done when needed. Who wants to be with a woman who can't take care of herself? However, arrogantly proclaiming that she doesn't need a man is not attractive and papers over the fact that she's insecure and probably doesn't get the attention from men that she wants. If she truly doesn't need a man, she doesn't need to say it.

not that it matters that im trans. But hell no to women that don't need a man. The category of call girls pretending not to prostitute. Want and need? I dont need a woman although I'm sexually attracted to women. I could be a billionaire and never come close to wanting the woman in that photo. Not even for a one night stand!!. Its like puting lipstick on a pig waking up the next day realizing in fear she's off her medication. Gold digging narcissistic medication. Lol. Kind of the two and a half men episodes of rose with charley harper.

I think a lot of those women are either
1) Lesbian (in which case they just need a woman)
2) Had a really bad experience with a man and don't want to keep it going "
3) Are frustrated with dating and actually do want a man but just don't like the feeling of getting turned down
If it's either #2 or #3 95% these women come right back around to wanting to be with a guy at some point. However, if it's #2 and they've had super bad experiences with men (not just they had a thoughtless crappy boyfriend. More so that they've been repeatedly abused by men in the past) they may not come back around to wanting a guy. However, if that's not the case they usually end up doing so. -
It's silly, childish and only chanted by insecure women. The truth is we both need each other, man and woman are created for each other. Not everyone are meant to be married that is true, but even in those cases it isn't true that we don't need each other at all. We're social beings.

It's true... in all honesty... but a rather hasty and some what an overly emotional charged statement... that for obvious reasons are completely valid... repeat the statement over and over as nesesary.. to movitvate your ambitions and put the words into practice.. and away you go.. simple... facts are facts.. its best , we men accept , that... food.. water.. oxygen sun light... actually meet the..."needs list" quite sufficienty.. on the their own.. not being on your needs list.. is a fucking excellent idea...

Those type of women are ridiculous. They try acting overly independent and that is just not attractive. It's probably a total total turn off for guys when trying to get into a relationship since most normal people want someone to be there to lean on and that person lean on them too. Having that person there to lean on in times of need is very important. I hope these women realize that nobody can be completely independent. We all need somebody there for us sometimes.
