    As a women you feel the needed to be needed by your Kids especially if the kid is 1yr - 16 Yr old.

    Imagine if your kid after birth started walking and sleeping on its own, not crying, just showing up to feed from you without, No emotions.

    Imagine if your kid is born self-dependent, your kid doesn't let you hold it, kiss it, respond to your Quirks and ignores you..

    Man protect and provide for women. Women nurture Children, that's how it works, the kind of unconditional Love you have towards you Kids. That is exactly the kind of love we men have towards our wife, that is how insanely intensly and strongly MEN LOVE THEIR WOMAN.

      And it's true,
      And I know it's impossible for a women to love us back that way, and we as men don't expect you to love us the way we love you unconditionally.

      Instead what we expect is you love the kids that we have unconditionally and help them raise right and when they grow up at a good person, doing great things in society that makes us proud..

      I believe women can love men that same way, though. It's just about finding the right person on both ends.

      No they cannot, such women existed, but women who gave preference to their Husband over their own kids.
      Their Kids didn't survived or weren't raised properly, hence reducing the number of that kind of offspring, Natural Selection filtered them out!..

      Very few such women exist and, no man wants a women who would choose to save him over his kids..

      Oh I do think parents (both male and female) love their kinds more than they love each other, as it's a different kind of love.

      A VERY profound, insightful and accurate description of a man's love for his woman AND for his children.

      A man feels fulfilled taking care of the mother of his children and knowing that SHE is in turn taking care of them. This makes him feel he is fulfilling his natural destiny.

    Probably the biological wiring of being a provider in the form of edible protein... or actually just protein. Also the biological role of hunter/warrior/protector that males used to fill. I firmly believe that a lot of basic primal instincts heavily influence our behavior to this day

    When boys are younger they get attention, validation and care from adults and their parents, similar to girls. But when they hit adulthood, that all dries up and you’re basically expected to sink or swim. Society doesn’t care about you unless your hard labor benefits society. When men are unappreciated they become apathetic, unproductive and self destructive.


    When a man has a woman that is loyal to him, and trusts him to take care of her, it gives his life purpose and meaning. he strives to do better and as a whole society improves.

    I think because guys are unsure or even insecure of how important they are in a woman´s life. Therefore what I think nearly all guys that are emotionally healthy cherish is if a woman acknowledges what he does. It gives a guy a sense of security that he´s doing the right thing and not wasting time on her or even worse do something she doesn´t even want.
    Guys therefore need this because we can´t read a woman´s body language.

    If men are insecure, being shown they are valued/accepted and desired in an objective way (say sex or a date) counteracts their internal narrative that they are useless/worthless.


    There’s also an element of wanting to feel attractive by seeing other being attracted to you.

    Men, especially in a relationship, are expected to make (sometimes incredible) sacrifices, including potentially facing death, to protect the woman we're with. If we don't feel needed by her, why in the world would we make these sacrifices? Why would we do anything for her?

    Primal. The male species, no matter if he has a girlfriend or wife or whatever, we're built to want to please the female species. Go watch any Female domme and they'll basically explain the same thing.

    She explains a lot of stuff, about it

    probably various reasons.

    It feels powerful to be respected and desired.

    needy though... that comes from lower self worth, possibly momma issues.

    Because women need men to need to be needed by women, otherwise needing women to need men would need them to need the needings necessary to be able to need men. Hope that helps 😂

    It is part of the validation of being a man.
    Sexuality also validates a man.

    Don't need to feel nothing, men and women "need" men because society would literally collapse but because your in America you can't see it as well as in other countries. That means men are doing a damn good job keeping the world going

    Because of evolution and reproduction.

    For me it feels like an emotional need that utterly validates me, makes me feel loved and safe in her arms. It's my greatest desire, to have true love.

    Because it’s an evolutionary thing. If she doesn’t need us she’s more masculine and independent which is repulsive
