As a woman do you feel you need a man romantically in your life to be happy and fulfilled and as a man do you feel you need a woman to be happy?

As for me, I prefer to keep myself to myself. There is nothing that another person can do for me that I can't do for myself. Some women can't live without regular dick injections and that sort of masculine energy marinating all aspects of their life and possessing them. This is really about personal preferences vs. some omnipotent truth. However, at the end of our lives, we are usually left without a partner and are buried alone in our graves. What is the difference, ultimately?

[wheresmrcunnunglis]

Not at all. A partner should add to the happiness I have already cultivated and continue to develop in my life and never be the sole source or primary source of it, for that matter.

[Phoenix98]

I don’t require a woman to be happy in life.

But all the wonder in the world ain’t worth a hill of beans unless you have someone to share it with.

i don’t want to be happy alone I want to share that with someone.

on top of that I want a family, kids, a wife, a legacy to be a protector and provider I don’t need those things to be happy but I want them because they’ll add to what I have.

[sirderpsalot123]

My life wouldn't be worth living if it wasn't for my partner and the daughter she gave me. I didn't care about much prior and now everything I do is for them.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Wow. Don't you think you are setting yourself up for a major disappointment having all your hope for happiness and self worth upon people?

[sirderpsalot123]

Not at all. Taking any sort of risk is potentially setting yourself up for disappointment. But you won't get any results without taking risks. Having people to protect and provide for is emotionally fulfilling for me.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

I understand. Point is what are you going to do if you lose it all or can't do it anymore or misfortune happens?

Are you going to think life isn't worth living anymore and become miserable or suicidal?

[sirderpsalot123]

If my girlfriend and I were to break up? It would take some time but I would deal with it. If I lost my kid? No, I wouldn't want to live anymore. That might be a loss I'm not strong enough to handle.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Are you religious by the way?

[sirderpsalot123]

Not at all

[JayParris]

That's a healthy outlook. Obviously having a family gave you a purpose in life. I really hope things keep going your way

[sirderpsalot123]

@JayParris Appreciate that. Definitely gave me the motivation to get my shit together.

No. If you're not enough by yourself you'll never be enough with someone. I'm friends with many women. But I've found anything beyond friendship with them to be overly complicated and in grand scheme of things to be a losing proposition. I wouldn't say I've given up. But given the avg. Demands from most women today I think I'll probably just stay single 🙂

[Star_88]

That's the purpose of my life.
But seeing how the current scenarios are, I will rather focus on career and avoid anyone with red flags.

[AviatorTom]

I don't NEED a woman to be happy, part of my life as a single guy was very nice. Having a woman does make for a better life though.

[serious]

No, I don't need a woman in my life to be happy. I have always been single and I am very happy.

[IMuser]

I consider having a woman like luxury: nice to have but not essential

[LimboOfTheDink]

I am happy and fulfilled as a person. Why would I want to get a man involved?

[dustybiker]

No. Had to be the right man for me. I waited a long time and was happy single until I found him.

[WhiteBoyChill]

I used to feel that way when I was younger but as I’ve gotten older….. not really

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Man, you're only 21...😂

[WhiteBoyChill]

Yeah bro. But when I was like 18 I just wanted to marry and shit but now I realize life is quite alright no matter what direction I go

[WhiteBoyChill]

I was just a depressed schoolkid I guess you could say. But in college its different

[Star_88]

Hispanic cool guy, lol I felt the same at 21 and also now at 22. When I was also 17-19 I also wanted to find a permanent one.

[WhiteBoyChill]

@Star_88 Ya its like after a while you realize you’re being unrealistic ig

[Star_88]

True especially when I read the researches that it's only hormones and how romantic love fads in a span of 3-7 years but only the attachment helps couple survive for long term.

[Star_88]

*fades

[Redstang88]

Ehhh, yes and no. I’m content by myself, but life is definitely a hell of a lot better with someone to share it with

[humanearth]

In my case, I need my wife. Without her I'm nothing

[jahaims]

To be happy no. To be fulfilled yes. One of my goals was having a family and life long companion.

[DyingLately]

Nah I don't need a woman to make my feel happy and fulfilled.

[Zygum]

It is natural requirement of both genders for opposite gender to meet his sexual requirements and raise family

[Gigi2019]

I would not use the word "requirement". Sounds a like a statement out of The Hand Maid's Tale. Everyone is born with a choice. Men and women "are" biologically created for each other. Yes. However, whether or not a person (male or female) should tolerate people they perceive as being inappropriate for them in order to fulfill their gender's destiny (according to you) is utterly ridiculous.

[Zygum]

@Gigi2019, thanks, for wonderful information

[Wilhelmstrasse]

I would love a good woman to spend the rest of my life with. but I like many other men are genetic failures so that will never happen. oh well 🤷

[Slim57]

Honestly yeah, don't feel like i serve any purpose being alone

[HeartFullOfGlue]

nope
