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).
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.

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.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.
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. 💰
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.

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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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).
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 elseIt'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.
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.
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.
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.
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.A man can be a man without a woman, and a woman can be a woman without a man.
