Why are women so desperate for men?

Post Reply New Topic

Its funny how everyone replying to the OP, even the women here, all agree its the opposite and men tend to be more depressed about being single than women.

And will ya look at that.

Hurtloam, one of the only women on wrongplanet who actually complains she feels lonely and dislikes being single (the other woman being slw1990) admits she so independent men actually think she doesn't want a man in her life when she does.

If there's any advice i have for women, its to try and stop acting so independent and fulfilled.

Contrary to what Feminism tells you, with it's aggressive "I don't need no man!" Attitude, the majority of both men and women deeply desire love and sex and for most people life is very unfulfilling being single, and you're not weak or submissive for actually being attracted to the sex nature wants you to be attracted to (or to be attracted to other women, nothing wrong with that either if that's your thing). You're no less independent, if anything, trying to aft super independent and fulfilled all the time is exhausting and may actually take a weight.off your shoulders.

Don't be ashamed of 'needing' a man, if you 'need' one let the world know, cause we certainly need you and are less afraid to make it known.

Its ironic men are more likely to act tough and hide their feelings but we're more open about needing love and pleasure.

Many people will claim they're perfectly fine being single, but usually they have good friends, lots of casual sex, and aren't actually single for long enough to experience all The negative affects of it, so they believe a few months of casual hookups is the same thing as having no sex and being single for over 10 years or longer.

For most people. Being in a relationship is the default state, and being single is simply a 'break' from relationships.

Most people are back in a new relationship after a few months of being single.

Hell, some people are so scared of being alone they'll enter a new relationship weeks, days or even HOURS after their last breakup.

I'm not acting though. This is just who I am. I'm just good at doing things on my own. I don't really need any help... Well maybe I do because I'm burned out.

I tiled part of my kitchen the other day. I'm quite chuffed with myself. I'm going to plumb in a new tap when it arrives.

I don't really expect people to want to help. My Dad brought me up to be as good as any boy at things. Sometimes if I wanted help with something he'd encourage me to do it myself because he believed I could. And you know what. He was right.

I've got to say I'm past pretending I don't want someone and I've been quite open about the fact I'm looking. That's not made any difference.

It's because, in reality, women (like men) frequently feel the need for a partner to "complete" them somehow.

Hurtloam: that's pretty nifty that you could "do it yourself." I admit to sucking at that.

Why am I single?

I guess I lack soething that more appealing women have. I think it's personality rather than looks.

I'm intelligent and I don't hide it. I can maybe be abrasive when I'm making a point, but I'm also very polite and friendly do I balance it out I hope. I think I am too much of a force to be reckoned with. I'm very resolved and determined about things. I'll post science and nature articles on Facebook (as well as cat memes), but to a regular dude I think that's intimidating.

Found someone like me this past year. I found him too arrogant though, plus he wasn't really all that interested in me. He kinda stood me up after inviting me to a party n didn't turn up.

I liked someone last year who seemed to like me, but every time we organised to meet up something when catastrophically wrong and we didn't meet up. Then he played a mean joke on me and really hurt me, so that was the end of that and he started seeing someone else.
