Most men would prefer to have a girlfriend or wife so it behooves us to have women need us. If women decide they don't want or need men any more than obviously men have to go without women. This decreases the quality of life of men but as a gender men will deal with it if that's the way it goes.
And this is why women should never depend on a man because a man feels like he's in control and he can control that woman if he makes them feel as if they need him if a man is doing that it's usually because he needs that woman because he's not confident within himself

I don't know. I guess some guys want women to be dependent on them.
I like women who can survive perfectly well on their own but are also heterosexual. So they want a male companion. They choose a man, not because he can support her but because she admires him.
As a man, it's great to be admired by my woman. It feels good to be seen as strong and tall, to be able to reach high objects, lift and carry heavy objects, build things, fix things, and make her feel safe and secure.
Funny story. The first date with my future wife was at a restaurant. We got along so well that time just slipped by. We didn't realize what time it was until I felt something bump my foot and I realized that it was a waiter vacuuming under our table. All the customers were gone and the place was closing.
We we went out to our cars in the parking lot behind the restaurant. We continued chatting and time must have gone by. When we were ready to leave, we discovered that the gate to the lot had been locked.
So I hopped over the 6' cinder block wall and fetched someone from the restaurant to open the gate.
I didn't think anything of it until some time later when she was telling her friends about it and made it sound like I had climbed a castle wall to rescue her. She thought I was a super hero just because I easily hopped over the wall. LOL Her admiration made me feel good.
But what some guys don't get is, women also want to be admired, and not just for sex. They also have brains, knowledge, intuition, creativity, humor, sensitivity, work ethic, pluck, fortitude, and a tendency toward nurturing. They just lack the same size and strength as men.
So, even though an independent woman doesn't need a man to survive, she wants one as a partner, best friend, and sexual companion. And most men don't need a woman to be their mommy, they want a woman as a partner, best friend, and sexual companion.
And for both, it feels good to be needed. They are partners who can count on each other. Their strengths and talents compliment each other.
From what I know it’s from a place of craving a sense of safety.
I’ve experienced this first hand, as well, in being a guardian for my nephew.
I am foremost his protector and I observed I had less fearful-based emotions or thoughts when I was responsible for him.
When it’s just for me, I sometimes question my capabilities and the rate of how deserving I would be of surviving, when in a serious confrontation.
With him, there’s no doubt in my mind he’s surviving, even if I am not. I will see hell for him, smoke blunts in hell, go to jail, get electrocuted for my nephew. That’s just how it works and there’s no doubt in my mind if he’s deserving or not. He will survive.
Fear is absent when I have that objective and that motivation for justice and that responsibility.
I am placing all bets: men feel safe themselves- not being protected, but in having someone they must protect.
When they realize they can withstand more than most women, they drop in fear levels. Most threats seem
manageable for them and something that wouldn’t overtake them.
It’d also be why some guys claim to have felt good about hugging their girl and making her feel safe. It’s fulfilling, it’s a way they can feel loved, but most of all, they feel safe. They’re no longer the target, but the mediator for someone weaker than them that would be a target to other threats: be it an ill animal, a natural disaster, or another toxic male.
So for ‘good men,’ I don’t mind needing them and letting them know they can protect me, but there’s many who are selfish and completely anxious. They use that strength for bad, and have terrible attitudes- and that’s more so just a ‘people thing.’ I can see why women would also be annoyed at men like this.
Myself, I will not be selfish, and instead I show my nephew everything I know about safety. He never leaves without being armed. I tell him all possible scenarios. I know he’s safe. He’s learning really well.
Men should exercise this freedom to let women be able to obtain some, what I call- responsible power. To be responsible for themselves at times, where it matters. Each person being responsible for themselves, to some extent, helps ensure the survival of all members.
That’s just my view on this.
Believe it or not, men do want to be of use to a woman. I have certainly heard women say 'he needs me' with satisfaction so I'd rate it as both a male and female desire to be needed.
I'd go further and say it is part of bonding ritual between a guy and a girl.
I don't know. I much prefer a woman who doesn't need me but wants me anyway.
Because it's in a man's nature to be needed. Not only wanted, but NEEDED. Men have a biological need to be needed. It's why we like fixing things, being the hero, bringing home the bacon. It's like a woman's need to be desired. Why do women want so much to be desired by a man? It's just nature.
This is probably based on the philosophy that a woman is incapable of loving a man. She can only love her children. Husbands are a utility tool.
(Not saying I necessarily believe that. But it is a quite popular school of thought.)
Cause saying you don't need the other gender is plainly a lie.
the world needs men
but then again suicide can always be an option
It's not. You're just confused.
Typically when a woman says "I don't need a man" it's typically followed by the many reasons why that she's angry about. Not that she actually WANTS to be single. In actuality what annoys us is the fact that she's pushing blame rather than taking responsibility for her bad choices. If she wants to be single then just shut up and be single. Everybody's happy. 😉🙂
Women who don’t need men for absolutely anything that’s awesome. Keep up the good work
It's because the the childish motives behind women saying they don't need men. It's like adolescent children saying they don't need a parent.
