This woman wants regular hot sex and some companionship without it becoming smothering.

^^ yes this...THIS is what I want and I'm gonna emphasize on the "no smothering" part.

ZombieKitten said:

what does she actually NEED him for?

security

A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle.

I would say I don’t need a man for anything. And for that matter, most of my life I figured I’d go without one for the rest of it. And happily so.

But I sure want my man for lots of things. Love, romance, fun, companionship, laughs, security… all kinds of reasons.

What do I WANT a man for? Companionship, sex...that's about it. Anything else I can do for myself.

I got nothin.

Oh wait.....I WANT them 2 stop being a pain in the ass.

That is all.

I'll throw some things out there, and these are all to do with esteem and ego:

(none of these things are gender specific by the way - nothing only a man could provide)

a woman wants a man:

so she can fit in, conform, be accepted by today's societal norms

(ie. singledom = traditionally a sign of "something wrong" - although that is changing and becoming a norm of its own)

she wants positive affirmation and attention through the desire a man shows for her. That being attractive is important, is something drummed into women from childhood. Obtaining and keeping a man is evidence she is attractive. Not just to herself but to her peers.

a man chose HER over other women, that makes her SPECIAL

I'll think of more

I am afraid this is true for many women. And it's disheartening.

I Like this type much better.

a women shouldnt have to want anything from a man.

The first man was given a job and that was to cover the earth, and to cover her. The problem sometimes is that a man himself surrounded by God, needs covering, so there again, he has to find and maybe teach a woman, who sometimes doesnt know him, what he is in need of.... thats what a help mate is....i guess. If men werent so pre-occupied with getting a woman so he can fuck around, he might find a jewel to cherish.

But, Most times, we'd rather go willy nilly with our own agendas, cause most of us tried the romance/fall in love route, "you're the only one for me" thing and got burned, so we said, fuck it, we're playing to win and we dont need a god a realationship or shyt else. I think he made a nice model with the book and all, we just need to have one that works in our personal and societal plans...... i guess.

Should a man

be an ass toward her shortcomings?

beg her all the time?

try to make a fool of her?

Ignore her concerns?

Only have dyckk to offer?

Thats a sad and lonely testement of one who does.......

The days of fucking over your "wife" as a means to get to your desires are coming to a close in my book.

A woman shouldnt have to want anything from a man, he should know. Any person short of that should be

and thats tammy 2:2

i actually like men. you guys don't suck. you're not like us, that's for sure though.

as far as needing a man around, well, no. i'd rather be in a relationship through choice, not need. do i want a man around? sometimes, actuyally yeah. but only one who gets me.

and, i really do enjoy my personal freedom, and the feeling i get from earning my own money (my ex-husband would have yelled at me for the purchase i'm planning to make. "what do you mean you bought dragon chairs? we don't need no stinking dragon chairs!" but, single me has all the power here, and the checkbook too

so, i'm not anxious to trade my freedom for just any guy.

however, if he let me borrow his hovercraft on a regular basis, i could be a lot more flexible about things

these are superficial and immature reasons, but reasons nonetheless, which have less to do with the man himself and EVERYTHING to do with a woman's ego and insecurity.

A woman who is sure of herself wants you because she loves you, because you are awesome and she wants to be with you because it makes her a better person when she is with you.

It's okay, we'd just assume drive

I drive if it's MY car we are taking, but since his is the company car and petrol is paid with pretax dollars, we just take that one all the time!

I dont need a man--but I'm willing to use one whenever it makes life easier.

a woman needs a man for his penis and sperm

however some women have penis addictions that make them go crazy and marry the penis

This should definitely be someone's signature.

Respect.

Being "the one" in his life- not "one of"
