That's NOT what I said or implied.

No, because to do so I would have to say things that would hurt some peoples feelings just to make a point to you thus opening myself up to anger and bashing and upsetting the tranquility we enjoy here at the board. But I know I am right, and as soon as the airplane glue you have been huffing wears off you will too.

That's what I got too. It's just how it's evolved over time. Just like I enjoy taking care of the "men" in my life, Otter and my boys (even though they are now men themselves.) Even though I feel overhwelmed at times with working and taking care of the house, laundry, cooking (you know all the wifey crap) I still feel it's my responsibility. Doesn't mean it's right or that I'm not for equal rights or that I need or don't need a man, it's just the way I feel. Am I close JH???

If a man needs to be needed, that implies that the woman needs the man. That is bogus. If a man is looking for a woman who is needy, he will end up with a clingy whiny b!tch, who is always out to find someone better (although she won't seem that way at first), she will lean on him, yes, but he will also blame him for everything wrong in her life.
If instead, the relationship is one of equal footing they will each do certain things, maybe the man takes out the trash and the woman washes the dishes (I'm being simplistic to illustrate). That doesn't mean the woman can't take out the trash, it means her life is easier if the man does it, that's one less thing she has to worry about. But any man who feels that his relationship is complete because he is needed to take out the trash is deluding himself.

In other words, you don't like what I said, but can't come up with a valid arguement, so you sling mud instead. Gotcha.Originally posted by Pete

I was really just being mean, but kind of b/c she said these things when we weren't even putting women down.
Sadly, you are reading the wrong sh!t if you really think most women need a man, that most women aren't strong enough to take care of themselves with or without a man. Contributing to the financial standing of the relationship is one thing, but if you are looking for a woman who needs to be taken care of, you'll be looking a long, long time.
Yes, it should be a partnership... with one head. I've heard it said like this. The man is the head and the woman is the neck. Men should take the lead in their family(i think), but the woman has alot of pull/direction/effect on the man. I think women are very powerful when they use their strengths in the right manner.

I agreee; there are definantly plenty of women out there that feel the need to always have a man around. But on the other hand there are men out there who can't stand to be alone also. Its a wide generalization to make about either sex. And that is a whole other discussion. I believe the discussion now is concerning jh's comment about most males needing to feel like the providers and how one would take that to instantly mean that the males wear the pants in the relationship :shrug:

No, unfortunately they are not endangered species. But they do make for doomed relationships. Needy chicks are never happy with what they've got. They are always looking for someone to "save" them from whatever situation they happen to be in. They can never accept responsibility for their own actions.
