“No man is a man without a woman”. Guys, do you agree/disagree? Ladies, your thoughts?

Question

Pegases · Accepted Answer

Lol no. This is what too many men grew up thinking, and that's why we have so many men that have nothing going for themselves because they've wasted their lives pedestalizing women. Here on is for men; Understand that no woman can ever make you a man. In fact, no woman even wants you until you become one. That is the basis of hypergamy, and any dating apps data will tell you that women aren't looking fore men that don't already have their shit together. Men, play the long game. Women do not matter at all in the grand scheme of your life. Your purpose, your mission, who you develope yourself to be at your core, will be more worthwhile that any woman can ever be because women will always orbit once youve established yourself. So respect yourself enough to know that your worth is not dependent on a woman, and focus on becoming the best version of yourself. We now live in a world where at every turn a Feminist is finding some way to devalue men, but its all just noise from broken and unhappy women. Stay focused. The long game is yours.

I get the sentiment. No matter how hard I work and achieve, being a 32 year-old single guy with no relationship experience does eat away at my very core at times and is one of the key parts of my poor mental health.

I agree. Honestly I feel like neither of us can be one without the other.

Even if you don’t have a man or woman in your like, you’ve had the influence of the opposite gender at some point and we teach each other different lessons.

A think a man especially needs and women to learn to be a man, like a woman can teach a man aspects of what it is to be a man that another man can’t (and vice versa).

Anjoomkabir · Accepted Answer

If you take it in the literal sense, then it's correct. And i don't mean that in a relationship sense. Every boy comes from a woman, right? And then that woman raises that boy to be a man.

Lliam · Answer

That can't be true for all men. But, speaking for myself, I need a woman in order to feel fulfilled.

I need a steady partner who looks, sounds, acts and feels like a woman.
I want a best friend/partner/lover that I can count on and trust no matter what. Someone who is smart, perceptive, competent, hard working, and fun.

I want someone who looks up to me the way I respect and cherish her.

A man and a woman can make a great team.

And I also like a woman's touch around the house. Women like to make things pretty. Curtains, wall colors, furnishings, house plants. They bring color, beauty, charm and tenderness to an otherwise harsh world.

Granted, it's difficult for any two people to live the rest of their lives together. Sometimes it doesn't work out. But when it does, it's priceless.

Lionman95 · Answer

So what´s a single guy then?

I partly agree that a man reaches an ultimate potential to live out his potential with a woman hence many if not most hetero guys find sexual attraction in a woman otherwise they wouldn´t look after a woman going by or watch porn at a constant basis. BUT that doesn´t mean that they can´t be a man without a woman.

Being a man is a state of maturity to me and I´d rather argue that especially nowadays you shouldn´t date if you´re not a mature man. Hence all male immaturity hurts and hinders a relationship so no one likes the situation.

I think it´s dangerous to take your validation from someone else hence we live in a world where heart break and breaks up are common and there are different reasons why they happen. I think a guy that takes his validation from others is a pushover and a doormat.

Fuentes · Answer

LOL!!!

What a load of feminist bullshit.

We don't need women to be a MAN and in order for a man to even have a good woman he has to build himself first you can't be a loser who smokes Weed in his moms basement and think you can build a family, with what? A minimum wage job. No that's poverty.

Andrew Carnegie one of the world's richest men in the past had his first child at 51, with a younger woman, men have to earn their way in life. Telling men stuff like that will forever keep them broke & unmotivated and just aiming to launch family's but can't even take care of one. Women are expensive, kids are expensive, a family is expensive. Divorce is expensive and alimony is expensive.

"I DON'T got a job but I got a girl though and I take the bus, I am a MAN" that sounds ridiculous. Men should always GET THEIR MONEY UP. 💰

ChillaxingLove · Answer

I disagree. Having a woman doesn’t make me a real man, it has no effect on if I am a good man or not. Character and how I carry myself as a man defines me as a man not another person outside of me. Women are a supplement, they make men better or worse depending on what kind of woman they are.

NathanDavis · Answer

yes, and no... I am very much a man on my own... but I'd never have been the man I am without them, the women in my life and I surely would not want to be without them either... lol

ObscuredBeyond · Answer

No man proves his merit as a gentleman unless he has done right by a woman. That may be a better way to phrase it.

The default phraseology encourages possessive thinking.

It also ignores men who succeed in spite lacking a woman, and also ignores that the *wrong* woman will emasculate a man, rather than elevate his manhood.

qwert1234 · Answer

It's not set in stone. It depends on one person to another.

They say that behind every great man is a woman - which can be true.

I say, that behind some depressed/suicidal man is a woman - which can also be true.

I've seen men rise up because his woman supported him, and I've seen men fall because his woman abused him or his authority.

Andres77 · Answer

Disagree. A man should be a man first and THEN find a woman. It's boys getting into relationships unprepared and immature that are the cause of much trouble today.

NottaNatty · Answer

I'm going to have to disagree with this one because In my opinion if a man can succeed in life without needing a woman he is more masculine than most. Now if he wants a woman but dose not need one that doesn't make him less than. Would you say a woman is not a real woman if she has no man? Because I personally would not think to utter those words. But than I also feel like this whole concept is rather objectifying.

motownplayer2000 · Answer

Disagree. Intimate relationships are like icing on a cake. They are great to have to top things off. But aren’t necessary for an individuals life. For procreation, yes, but we have a ton of people that do that without being in a relationship of that kind. But no, I think it’s further from the truth that a man isn’t a man without a woman.

TroyDT · Answer

No man could be born without a woman (his mother) so in that respect the statement is demonstrably true. But after that? I definitely enjoy the ladies, but my being a man does not change day-to-day based upon whether I have a lady at that time or not.

Jay3344 · Answer

I disagree. Women can definitely compliment a man and everything good about him or she can accentuate the worst in him. He can shine without her or excel with her. I think both genders don’t need to be with the opposite sex to be the best they can be.

Jenny-Marie · Answer

I don't agree. It's preferable to be alone than with a lady who sucks away your spirit or lies or cheats. It shouldn't affect whether or not the guy is seen as a man.

If I was 25 years younger and had married you, would I be less of a man the day after we divorced? I would just be sadder and missing the soft skin and silky hair, (I admit it, I'm a softie for both).

ZackBan · Answer

Nah it's a line created by simpy men trying to virtue signal to women. Truth is a man who is not a man without a woman will never be one with one.  It comes from within not from someone else

Snakeyes7 · Answer

It's true in a way that people are more likely to respect you if you have a woman especially if married or at least that's what it used to be. Also in a sense that a lot of men find their woman to be a source of their identity and solace.

I disagree with it in a literal sense but I don't think a phrase like that was meant to be taken literally.

JamesDiaz11 · Answer

No- men are men through the teaching and acceptance of other men (as every rite- of- passage dictates).

However, you cannot be fully a man without a family, as this is the highest acceptance of duty and responsibility.

Sixgunsound · Answer

I’m not sure the requirements to be an adult of either gender require the others presence. Having the other gender around certainly does complement weaknesses and make life easier for both, but I don’t think it is a requirement.

GallopAcrossEurope · Answer

A 3/10 opinion. A man is made without a woman, because if done wrong a man can back turn into a boy who cannot sustain himself either physically or emotionally.

cth96190 · Answer

Disagree.
The presence, or otherwise, of a fefail, does not affect whether or not I have XY chromosomes.
Compared with other men, there has been little intimate female presence during my life. I have not been with a fefail for almost 22 years. I am still a man.

LazerBean · Answer

A man can be a man without a woman, and a woman can be a woman without a man.

AviatorTom · Answer

I disagree. A woman can make a man a better man, but a man can be a very good man on his own, without a woman.

NewsReader · Answer

Disagree. Man and Woman are biological sexes. They are what they are. If I was the last living person on earth, am I still a biological man? Of course.

chocomilk99 · Answer

would u date or marry a guy who is still not a man?

PamelaRivers · Answer

No one needs anyone to validate them. No matter who they are.

anon1903 · Answer

Disagree! Genders shouldn't be dependent on each other for gender verification. Tiktok is so toxic lmao.

RavVid · Answer

I guess the gay guys will disagree. Most hetero guys want a woman. In the past though the armed forces didn't allow you to marry till you reached a certain rank.

Havthrills · Answer

I disagree. I think it goes along with a man being a man for his woman. Alone, he has no one to protect or fix things for just himself. Or actually, a man wants to be better for his woman.

AndrésC64 · Answer

That's one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. Who said that?

TheMajesticKing777 · Answer

I wouldn't think so considering last time I recall the male genitalia doesn't just disappear after a breakup

Aerolyn · Answer

I disagree with this HEAVILY. Unless we're talking about this in a sense that you literally need a woman in order to be born, then no.

Missgingles · Answer

I disagree.. i'm a woman and I dont have a man lol..

Adam1978 · Answer

Nonsense a man doesn't requires a woman to be a man. Nothing about being a man has anything to do with having a woman.

MistaM2daE · Answer

Well I'm single atm and i can say my manliness isn't defined by my relationship status but i do confess i feel "not whole" when I'm single So yes i agree, if you don't take it literally

Heolurt · Answer

I disagree completely, life has shown me that for someone like me finding love is just not possible, so living single and trying to be happy without ever having a female beside me doesn't make me any less of a man.

OlderThanILook · Answer

Strongly disagree. I think relationship status has very little to do with how manly someone is

sage2021 · Answer

Behind every good man is a good woman - PUSHING HIM!

Dinklex3 · Answer

Disagree, lol. You can not have a woman and still be an outstanding man.

Guardian45 · Answer

“No man is a man without a woman”.  Technically, not true. But I do believe that the right woman can COMPLETE, TEMPER and COMPLEMENT a man!

Chazmatazz269 · Answer

Personally i disagree, but i’m certain this is a pervasive belief.

MCheetah · Answer

Nah. Would women agree that "No woman is a woman without a man controlling her"?

Jennz6 · Answer

God created Adam, but to make Adam complete, God created Eve. So I agree that man is not complete without a woman.

AimeeKyle · Answer

I do not agree. A man has to be a man first….. if he connects up with the right woman (for him), she can unknowingly give him the personal motivation to be a better man.

Juxtapose · Answer

A true man should walk his own path with or without anyone he pleases.

genericname85 · Answer

so if he's not a man before he has a woman, then how does he even attract a woman to begin with?

ChiTown33 · Answer

Well it's kind of hard to be born without a woman to birth you. That's the only way I see this statement holding relevance

CuriousMufuxka · Answer

I disagree. A lot of times in my last relationship I felt less like a man. More like a prisoner.

nomandik · Answer

A man will be a man regardless if he has a girlfriend or not I don't and I'm still have a penis

chicosuave · Answer

Nope. Most men are men even if there single or not

altaboy · Answer

I disagree. Both men and women can be self sufficient, and indeed successful, as single people. I might add happy too.

TonyMetal___86 · Answer

I believe it works in both directions, a woman ain't a woman without a man and a man ain't a man without a woman...

Pudsmucker · Answer

I agree with you a man is not complete without a woman and a woman is not complete without a man. This was given by a commandment from God.

pizzalovershouse · Answer

I dont look at that way cuz it's like saying a guy can't do things for him self

ElkaViki · Answer

I am sure homosexuals would highly disagree with you 😂

nawtee_me · Answer

not at all... That would be like no woman is a woman without a man... so untrue...

StickStickity13 · Answer

highly disagree, no woman could make me or break me

Zolly99999 · Answer

I definitely think I'm a better person with a good woman in my life !!!

dolemite89 · Answer

there’s monks that are manly men and they don’t have women around 🤷‍♂️

Cedman · Answer

Disagree, you define who you are single or otherwise.

jshm2 · Answer

Yeah, as he's just full of "wo" otherwise?  I'll get my coat...
