Do you need a man in your life?

[Anonymous]

Or at some point in your life.

Yes I do

No I don’t

Not sure

[SnoodlePoodle]

My dad left when I was still a child. I have three older brothers, several nephews, and a couple uncles, but none of them are that close to me. None of them could ever fill that roll.

The only man who did was my grandfather, and we lost him a couple months ago.

He was the man in my life, the man I looked up to and admired. He was the father figure in my life, the man who inspired me, and the man who influenced and molded the very desires of what I hope for in a man I pray to marry.

I desire with all my heart to meet, marry, and spend the rest of my life with a man like my grandfather. A man who makes me smile the way he did, who loves the way he did, and who has a heart like he did.
I want that, and I'll settle for nothing less.

So yes, I need a man in my life, and want one too. That role has been void and hollow for so long. I long for the day that it would be filled.

As I stated elsewhere, every human only needs a few basic items to survive and those are (in that order)

1. water
2. sleep
3. food

all others are superfluous or luxury.

You can be perfectly happy without a partner as long as intimacy is not a dominating factor in your life. Every single human can learn to live without it and it is not even that difficult to master a deprivation.

[btbc92]

Amen. The facts. As Jesus said, some are called to marriage, some are not. And there are those who chose to refrain from sexual relationships for the sake of the kingdom.

[SueShe]

@btbc92 The question could have been reversed and the reply would have been exactly the same.

In the more philosophical definition of the word "need", no one needs anyone. You don't get a job because someone needs you, it's because they want to make a profit on you. A nice car is not a necessity but it is more convenient to have and to impress others perhaps.

As simple as that. Now, I see here that a few people need a man or a woman for the sake to be together, but it is definitely not a need. It all boils down to what you consider a necessity to survive. For me it is those 3 subjects above and for you its is definitely those 3 plus a man or perhaps a woman.

All the rest is luxury, something nice to have but not a basic need.

[btbc92]

The Question actually, is should anybody be seeking a partner at all? Not who needs who. Many arebnit suitable for one.

[SueShe]

@btbc92 That changes a little the context.

Humans are not made to be solitary and, yes, need the contact of others to develop and to find balance.

In a strict physiological aspect of the human race, in 2019, yes women need a man in order to procreate. That is most likely not going to be the case in about 20 years when, in theory, men will be superfluous for procreation.

But then, who wants to to live like a nun for the rest of their lives.

For the sake of a healthy physical and mental balance, a partner will be necessary to most people.

[Deydey12345]

50% said no.. Unbelievable...
Females just dont feel like they need men..
😂 im glad im not a man because i would feel hurt about being so useless sexually and in every way for females.. Like they dont even need men sexually since they have each others as females to get turned on by one another..

But i choose i need men. I dont even desire being "this" independent..
<3

[Asexual_Gal]

Being asexual, this question is superfluous and I would not really have a use for a man in my life if by mean, a sexual partner is meant.

I am not ready to be coerced into sexual practices against my will just for the sole sexual satisfaction of a man I have no affinities for.

But like all humans I have a father that is comprehensive and this is about the only man I could honestly say that I need in my life.

[SpiderManFan2002]

Yeah, I mean I need my dad, my male friends (well technically they're man-children but eh, they'll be old enough to call themselves men one day) my grandfather even if I don't see him that often, same goes for my uncles and guy cousins, oh and my little brother who isn't a man at all yet, but he will be one day ;P

And yes, one day, I will also need a man as a partner otherwise how am I going to have a family? xD

[ECityGirl89]

I was single for a while. My sister made my Bumble account for me and a while ago I got back on it. I recently been with this guy I met and we just made it official as a couple. So it’s good to put yourself out there. Especially when you’ve had those days when it’s like same thing over and over again and just pick yourself up and go for it.

[Paris13]

Nearly all of my Life I have Had Dates and Mates, friends, family, Never Alone... I Got God so he is the One, Hun, Who Makes all of My Diva Decisions. lolxx

[Anonymous]

It depends on the man and on how he treats me.
I don't need someone just because they're a man. I don't need someone who treats me badly, puts me down, only thinks about himself and basically drains all of my energy.

[AuroraRoseat]

No. My life isn't dependent upon a man. There are plenty of amazing men out there who are desired simply because they make the world a better place.

[Justacatlady]

I don’t need one. If one happens to be apart of it for a while it’s nice but it’s not required for my existence to be complete

[Larajeanfake]

Of course some people say they don't need one. But I want one! lol. Need and want are different things so

[BrittBratt2416]

I already have a lot of those in my life. I have God/Jesus, Dad, Brother, my fiancee, other male family members... etc.

[BrittBratt2416]

Okay do men feel like they need women in their life? Cause to be truthfully honest, sometimes i feel like if vagina was sold at the grocery store then you guys would be fine.

[SarahVanRensburg]

At some point in my life I will because I want to have kids. I can't have kids alone.

[MissKittyz]

I need MY man in my life, that's for sure 😘 the amount of support he gives me is amazing.

[ECityGirl89]

Same here.

[TouchMyMind]

I get along with men more then women. Plus you know... sex. Need guys in my life.

[fonduegirl]

yep, I need my dad so that I don't end up taking trashy decisions. lol.

[Ordinarygurl_]

Not right now I don't but maybe in the next 5-10 years or so.

[Anonymous]

Need, no. Highly want? Yes. I'd be a lot happier if I get to spend my life with somebody.

[Asker]

If it never happens, then whatever though right?

[Opinion Owner]

Not really, I'd definitely be disappointed and would regret not searching harder for somebody

[Asker]

If you did everything you could, but didn’t find it at all. Would you just get over it?

[Opinion Owner]

I wouldn't say 'get over it' but more like deal/cope with it. Getting over sometime implies I wouldn't be upset over it at all anymore, and that's not the case.

[Asker]

Would say you need to be happy in life?

[Opinion Owner]

Doesn't everybody need/want to be happy in life?

[Asker]

Well, for you to be happy. It sounds like you kind of need a man

[Opinion Owner]

Well yeah, it'd make my life a lot happier

[Anonymous]

I've never ever been in a serious relationship and I want to so badly, definitely ready to experience love and companionship. I think having both masculinity and femininity can bring balance also.

[Anonymous]

Mmmm yeeeaahh...
there’s some benefits. I gotta let out my frustration on something.

[Anonymous]

I do, I've never been with anyone ever but i’d like to be with one, someday... if someone thinks im pretty😂

[Marie1996]

A woman should not need a man, but want a man in their life.

[Anonymous]

I've been single my whole life, but I feel like if I did meet the right guy, I'd get addicted.

[thegirlfromthething]

I don’t “need” one but I want one.

[alice55]

Yes, cause I'm unable to do a tons of stuff alone

[needhelp777]

Yes I need want my man in my life

[Alpha09]

Need? no. But it's nice on a Saturday night.

[Alyssa_K]

I just got one, but, we're taking it slow.

[douride2]

At this point in my life I'm happy being alone.

[DakotaNorth]

Doesn't have to be a man...

[moonpie89]

It's a want not a need.

[Secret6620]

[Asker]

Independent woman?
