Girls, If a woman is strong, independent, has her own career, house, cars etc does this make her need or want a man?

[dsgaboy]

Men are hard wired to protect, provide and procreate. If a woman can already possess these things except procreation, what does she need a man for? Do you really think men are going to be attracted to this type of woman? NO NOT AT ALL!! If ever man you came across acted like a woman would you be attracted to him? NO YOU WOULDN'T BE! GOOD HOPE THIS LOGIC GETS INTO YOUR EMOTIONAL BRAINS

It's really sad if you answer want just saying

I don’t think being in that situation MAKES a woman either want or need a man. Being financially independent simply removes the need for two incomes. But it doesn’t remove the need, the want or the desire for companionship, love, closeness to another. Nor does it remove the need for a life partner. Money is only one very small part of life, and this life journey we are on is difficult and lonely, having someone else in your life to share those time, both good and bad. Well it just makes life more tolerable! Take that from a girl who got her money the old fashioned way… I inherited it, as did my father, and my grandfather before him. Being with someone because you WANT to and not because you need to financially, can really bring two people even closer. Especially when they know that you are not with them because you “need” to be with them, you actually WANT to be with them. Then again, some men simply cannot stand the fact that the women they married doesn’t “NEED” him, the lack of that financial control makes them feel somehow “less-than”, and the marriage fails! These are the guys who are more likely to be abusive, so we are far better off without them!

men who don't like the fact that a woman can provide for herself is usually a sign he's a loser, not succeeding in life, or is very egotistical. These types of guys will just start resenting their wives, once she achieves any sort of success in life.

I know this because I grew up with a father who was like this. He married my mother (who was very dumb). He loved her because her low IQ made him feel smart. He secretly knew he wasn't smart. He took great pride in paying all the bills, writing all the checks, the fact his dumb wife couldn't fix anything in the house, couldn't cook well. My mother never succeed in anything in life. She could never survive without my father.

And I spent the large majority of my childhood being bullied by him because he was threatened by my success as a young adult. He couldn't handle the sight of a female that was smarter, more successful than him.

When I'm looking for a husband, an egotistical man who hates capable women. I paid a big price for my mother making the wrong decision to marry a man like that.

[shaysh87]

Ladies: you should always marry a man who respects you and encourages you to be your best self in life. A man who loves you , should not see you as competition. He should want you to do the best in life and be at your happiest state.

There is a saying "Real men wear pink". Only insecure men who are insecure about their masculinity would say wearing pink makes them feel like less of a man.

Same with independent women. Unsuccessful men who are insecure about their own masculinity, would feel threatened by an independent woman. Successful men who are confident about their own capabilities / masculinity will not be threatened by an independent woman.

Stop dating little boys, date real grown men.

I'm a woman with a successful career and who can easily support herself financially without her husband. With all that being said I still need my man. Just because I don't need him financially doesn't mean there aren't a million other (more important) reasons I need him.
It's true that me making more money has intimidated my husband in the past and for a time it did put some strain on us. For a little while I was hurt that he felt that way. However, when I tried to understand him instead of judge him I was able to understand him and love him more.
Even though I make more money than my husband I still go out of my way to do things that make him feel more masculine. I'll often have him do all the fix it up stuff we need done (even if I could probably do it myself). When just the two of us are going somewhere we'll go on his motorcycle and I'll hold onto him while he drives. He's always the one that does the barbeques. I constantly flirt with him about how big his muscles are and I always compliment his penis when we're having sex (especially regarding how "big" it is). He also is usually the sexually dominant one while I'm the sexually submissive one. I also often snuggle with him in a way where he's holding me in his big strong arms.

Women and men need each other. Men know they need women. I don't know why women keep trying to convince themselves they don't need men.

Why is it so bad if a man is bigger and stronger than you? Isn't that why we like them?

Why is it so bad that he can put his emotions aside and go do unpleasant stuff that you get to emotional to deal with?

Men should validate and acknowledge our femininity as women need to validate and acknowledge masculinity.

It's almost as if it's the way it was meant to be. I know; I'm crazy 🤪.

So you want a woman who has no goals, ambitions or willpower?
You want a weak, always dependable woman who has nothing (no car, no house/flat, etc)?

There's nothing wrong with a woman who knows what she wants and goes for it. Good for her, it's so hard to get all of that on your own.

And if she despites having everything WANTS to have a man at her side, that's ONLY a good thing.

[whirled_up_girl]

I would like to share my life with someone someday, I don't see how wanting that is sad, needing someone to take care of you could be taking your chances these days, too many variables. I've had great aunts that were widowed and had to become financially indepenant at very senior ages.

[girlwithglasses01]

i mean everyone has a different pov here. I personally feel, as a woman myself, i would NEED someone to talk to, someone to you know just relax and have a good time, dont ever NEED a man for the career car house. and by the way what is the connection of having a career and a partner, unless you need them for money ofc, so i dont feel having a career, a car, a house has any relation with needing or wanting a man, whatever it be.

[Apulu_3]

For love, she needs and wants (both) her man. Love is like a part of life so those who are searching more love, it becomes a need for them. Something that they really need. And of course they also want it too. Who won't want love from their partner

[TyLeeAndPink]

Why are those the only two options? Why is it sad if women “want” a man? Why did you include that option if you don’t want us to pick it? Do you think all women need a man? That’s so degrading for both you and us.

[TyLeeAndPink]

On top of that, you’re calling is emotional? Bold words coming from someone who capitalized half of everything they said, you misogynist.

[pixie215]

i have all that now and dont need a man in my life but want to meet my best friend that turns into more.

[melanieeeB]

It depends on her personality and the individual itself, just cause you can care for yourself doesn't mean you don't need someone else.

[Sour-rose]

Sounds like a queen living her life. What need is there for a man? Besides to bang something.
