Do men need women, or are they merely a want in their lives, something to get them through, to fill a gap?
Mark you, there is a distinct difference between a need and a want, for many people want things that they do not really need.
But let’s cut to the chase, women are not only necessary but are essential in the lives of men, even though many men take them for granted and often treat them badly. Maybe that’s why that now famous line was penned, “Women, you can’t live with them, you can’t live without them.” Written by a man of course.
By definition, a need is something essential for survival and basic functioning, like food water and shelter, while a want is something desired or preferred, but not necessarily for survival, like a new car or a fancy meal. Essentially, needs are required for life, while wants are simply things that you would like to have.’
So which is it, do men want women or do they need women?
Many men will say that they want women, and they certainly do, but how many men will admit to actually needing a woman? “I want women, plenty of them, but I don’t really need them.”
That’s where he’s so wrong, for a man will want a woman yes, but he also needs her more than he knows. From birth and before, a man needs a woman, and for the first few years of his life, that maternal bond grows by leaps and bounds. It often lasts a lifetime.
It’s that female bonding that prepares him for his future with other women, making the old saying ring true, “Most men marry their mothers,” meaning of course that they often marry women who exhibit the similar traits and characteristics of their mothers.
That first woman in a man’s life certainly impacts him greatly on the way how he treats future women.
As a teenager, a boy needs to be around female company. At that stage, his hormones are raging and he has to have that emotional outlet.
Those urges and feelings are vital and essential for his emotional development.
In fact, that may be the most critical stage in a man’s life when it comes to needing a woman.
A man needs a woman to fulfill his life, although not many men would admit to this. After the bachelor life and the rampant running up and down, the man needs a woman for stability.
Sometimes that woman proves to be that man’s anchor, his conscience, his second thought when making important decisions. I must add here though, that this only applies if it’s the right woman, one who genuinely has the man’s interest at heart. Anyone else can prove to be a living hell and a nightmare of epic proportions from which he will never wake up.
. A man needs a woman for emotional support, and this manifests itself when the man is at his lowest ebb, and needs that propping up to keep his head above water.
Again, she has to be the right woman who has his back, for there are some women who jump ship the moment they sense any crack in the structure of the man. One proof of this is sickness. Some men get sick, and that’s when their woman decides to cut and run. “Man I was down and out sick in bed, and is gone she gone.”
To add to this, a man needs a woman to massage his ego and bolster his self esteem.
Let’s not forget the physical, and get back to those basics, a man needs a woman for lovemaking. And that is why men continue to pursue women from here to eternity, to the ends of the earth and back, through hell and high water.
Men need women to fulfill their fantasies, they need women to satisfy their desires, they need women to bring out the macho . They may say that they want women, and they certainly do, but that need is greater than just the want, even though they aren’t fully aware of it.
Nevertheless the expert psychologists say that it’s better to want rather than to need, for to need means dependency, and nobody wants to be dependent on anyone else.
