Look, I saw a cat stuck in a tree once. Instead of calling the fire department or grabbing a ladder like a person with a functioning brain, I decided the best way to get it down was to jump from the roof of the shed directly into the tree to scare it into descending. I missed the branches entirely, slammed face-first into the neighbor’s fence, and caused such a chaotic racket that the cat got terrified, leaped down on its own, and bolted. I broke three ribs and ruined my favorite shirt, but the cat was safe. That is peak performance.

I also saved a construction site from potential disaster when I saw a heavy crate being lifted by a crane. It looked like it was swaying, so I decided to steady it by running underneath and pushing it with my bare hands. I tripped over a pile of loose gravel, slid head-first into a puddle of wet concrete, and accidentally yanked the emergency stop lever on the control panel with my flailing foot. The whole site shut down, nobody got hurt by the crate, and I spent the next four hours trying to peel dried cement off my eyebrows. People really need someone around who is willing to dive head-first into disaster without thinking for even a single second. It’s a gift.

I think the list is more like this in more or less this order...

• Status
• Physical Security
• Financial Security
• Children
• Companionship
• Technology Support
• Doing the icky or physically demanding stuff
• Emotional Relationship
• Sex (occasionally)

Women are practical and transactional much of the time. To be fair, a lot of men sort of create the need for them to be that way.

The clear number one answer in my opinion is emotional relationship, that is, to me, the main goal and the main thing that makes it all worth it. The rest might be important too but it’s secondary or it supports the idea of the relationship. Going down the rest of the list, yes he does things that are easier for him than for me like lifting things or reaching high places. Yes he opens jars for me sometimes. Yes he makes me feel protected. Yes we have sex. Yes we support each other financially and, he earns twice as much as I do. But most of that, I do not need most of the time, what matters every day is the relationship.

First of all, just bc a girl says "i don't need a man" doesn't mean she's a lesbian. It just means she's had to figure out how to do stuff on her own. A guy would be... nice... but so would a ferrari. And frankly, the ferrari is less of a hassle to get and maintain.

Next, non-gold-digger girls usually want a guy in their lives for a variety of reasons -- mainly affection and companionship, which can be physical, emotional or both.

I should've said relationships

As they say in that movie, a woman remarks "anyone can get sex but relationships - relationships take real effort for romance"

Or something corny like that

So lazily I voted hastily Sex

[objective_calendar]

All of those are great to have and I appreciate but the best one here is a relationship (also cause there's no alternative. I NEED them, otherwise it won't be happening).

[Abbycado]

Emotional relationship above any of the others.

[MissSunshine2]

Lots of things, besides the obvious sexual and romantic reasons, for mentorship, emotional support, affection, protection, friendship and fun.

If you think opening a jar lid is a technical task, you need a man more than we do.

[LiamJHayden]

Seems like a loaded question. Does a lady actually need, outside of maintaining infrastructure and society, men individually?

[Anonymous]

i need all of them. but very rarely do i meet a man who comes close to having even most of these.

[Anonymous]

40% of women in this poll vote "financial support", but they're not gold diggers, no.😆

[blackeagle007]

They want a man who acts like one
