Why Do Men And Women Need Each Other?
Men need women, but sometimes I'm afraid that women dont need men as much anymore.

With the advancement of technology and the changing mindsets of society, I am sometimes quite afraid that girls do not actually need guys anymore.
In the past, women are mostly confined to the kitchen while they depend on their hubbies bringing home food and money to feed their children. That was last time.

Now, a lot more women I know are graduating with good grades and securing high-paying jobs. In many cases, women are now very much self-sufficient do not need to rely on men for cash anymore.
At the same time, flip through any papers and you'll read news on technology coming up with interesting ways for women to replace the traditional needs they require of men. Reproduction is replaced with IVF, sex is replaced with dildos, and companionship is replaced with pet dogs.

"Who needs men when you could have a pet sausage dog?"
All these led me to believe that maybe in the years to come, women might actually not need men anymore.
Don't get me wrong, I like a smart, independent and self-sufficient woman any time. But I was demoralised when I read what Nicole wrote on her blog, because she pretty much suggested that the only reason why women needed men now are for "entertainment purposes".
ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES. That is how insignificant our role is right now!

Why are you doing this to me.
So it's slowly becoming clear that girls don't need guys that much. But the sad thing is, the same cannot be said for us guys. In fact, guys still NEED girls in a lot of things.
The obvious one is sex. Blow-up dolls just wouldn't cut it.

My birthday gift for Su Ann. It's a tissue box cover. NICE RIGHT?!
We still need girls to bear the fruits of our loins. Babies don't just drop from the skies. And even if they do, us men can't milk outselves like a mother could. (Actually we could, but let's not go there)
We still need girls to do our laundry and clean our houses. Call it old-fashioned if you will, but after a long day at work, very few men including myself enjoy doing household chores on their own.

More than anything, guys need girls to be their companion, to show them admiration and to tell them how awesome they are. Don't laugh, ok! I'm serious. Men will DIE if girls don't feed our ego.
We need to know that we are the hero in our women's eyes.
Which is why as much as I applaud the feminist movement and how women are being treated more equally now in the modern world, I still fear that our roles as men in women's lives are diminishing.

Perhaps men's biggest need of all, is that we need to be needed.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Nicole thinks women still need guys, but do you all agree or not? All you feminists out there better comment!

we don't need men too much... they're nuisance... sometimes they think too hihly of themselves that we need to leave them alone... that's for me to say... I dunno bout the rest

4th~! -_-" Well,i think women still DO need men in many ways. Example,Women need men to change their car's tyres if their tyre is 'pancit'(only few of them can change it by themself i suppose?). Or sometimes they need us to repair some electrical things as i noticed that most of the women i know is very bad with electronic gadgets(but I think not all of the guy can 'repair' those things. Or lazy?). Thats all for now. Can't think other examples anymore. Any yeah Kenny.We need to be needed. lol

its easy for women to say they dont need us men (that is women's ego too) but the truth is when they are in trouble / need, they'll come swarming over you with all their antiques. . *ahem*. nabeh...
Women do need men as much as we, men need them.

Yes. Dear, I agree we don't need men too much anymore although it's good to have one by our side when we needed one to massage after a tired work days or to help us repair our leaking pipes and broken bulbs..
they're nuisance especially when they'd reached their mid life with crisis... sometimes they think too highly of themselves especially the rich and a little higher educated ones that we need to leave them alone...
and a headache when they fall in love again with younger chicks when they think their wives isn't that satisfying anymore like when they first married... and desired to have a second younger wife to play around with.

I agree with nicole, we need guys for our entertainment. Only the male species can provide strong shoulders for us to lean on and when we need "manja-manja". But that doesnt mean we cant learn to replace a tyre or change a light bulb. Its just nicer when someone else gladly does it for us!

For me, women do in fact need men as much as men need women. No man's an island; no woman's an isle too.
Speaking of reproduction, if men need a woman's ovum and womb to bear their child, women need sperms to fertilise their eggs just as much. Afterall I believe sperms in the sperm bank aren't coined from the mint like money does, right?
If women have emerged out from illiterateness, men are very capable of handling chores and running errands for their homes nowadays too. I have seen men who are more particular about cleanliness and tidiness than any women I know. Truth be told, many ladies these days barely do any housework (take me for example.)
While I admire and have true respect for single parents who single-handedly raise up their children, it's undeniable a family would not be complete without a father and a mother, a husband and a wife.
Men and women are made to complement each other. What I believe is, we may live without the other, but we do need each other.
My two cents. =)

Of course we need men! Who else is going to smack flying cockroaches and throw them out? Oh, and we need their sperm, even with in-vitro fertilisation. Technology isn't that advance yet.

In my point of view, no matter how independent a woman is, she still needs a man... It's a balance in nature... Women are born fragile and delicate we need the strength and masculinity of a man to nurture and love us. No matter how strong or independent a woman is to the eyes of the public, she may just be a fragile glass in her heart.
Also no matter how advance technology is, nothing can replace the touch of a man, the kiss of a man, the love of a man and of course, without men how are women going to reproduce?
Some feminist may be angry with me for betraying my own sex, but honestly I'm glad men exist in this world and I honestly admit that I very much depend on the love of my man.
Man needs Woman
Woman needs Man...
This is the fact and the balance of life, everyone please stop lying to yourself...

Because we have higher level emotional needs. Being the only female in my research group, it is both flattering and frustating. Discounting reproduction (how unromantic)issue, women certainly are becoming increasingly self-sufficient, hence, it is inevitable "we can do whatever you can do". We see it everyday : from female bus driver, engineer, CEO (i.e. woman power in male-dominated industry).
BUT hey! This does not mean the other group of women - who loves to bake cake, plant peace lilies, and who are determined to spend the rest of their lives loving and tending for their family - are no longer out there.
It's just a matter of choice and circumstances. We go into male dominated world for various reasons : love the challenge, love the work, financial independence etc. But deep down we know nothing can beat the joy of raising our kids. Of being there watching their first piano recital and making lunch boxes.
So trust me, as much as we, working women love our job, we are born to be feminine. We need to return home from office and complain about our boss to a patient husband (and you NOT to disagree with us under any circumstance - no matter how unreasonable we are). We love them for changing the bulb though we can do it anytime. We love to leave all plumbing works to them in exchange of making the best dinner. Sure enough we can carry own our shopping bag, but it is lovely to have you carry it for us.
we need to NEED you.

lol, this is crap.. purely crap... women dont need men????? wowmen just need men for entertainment ???? hahaha... this could only come out from a young hot chick that have tons of guys crowding bside her everytime. Then we time passes by, she'll get older and older and older..... with no more guys bside her, then she'll think twice about wat she said bfore.
The only think that can replace a guy in a girls heart is a guy. not a dog, not dildo, not cucumber, not a very close friend either. 'if i have money, i can always buy all the men(Duck) i want' then go ahead and spent all ur money. The one with love is totaly diffrent. MONEY CANOT BUY EVERYTHING!!!! all those women out there, do you wanna be hug and kiss by a guy who loves you or u wanna kiss(lick) and hug by a big dog??? haha the answer is obvious, For Those that choose the later..ermm .... no comments.
According to the BIBLE, GOD created Eve bcoz he saw that Adam is lonely. The purpose women is created is to accompany man, support him, love him, and have babies with him. And of course the other way round. 'Perhaps men's biggest need of all, is that we need to be needed.' I totally agreed with that.
For me, when i'm ask to change tire, i m very happy to do that. Coz it makes me think that i'm needed. but the price to pay is, now every ppl i know will call me when they're having problems with their tires.. oh well. Another thing is, I feel more 'happy' when boasting among girls.. i think all those men out there feels the same. it's no fun boasting with guys.... the pleasure is aint the same :P. lots and lots more example about this ..
There's a hole in a women's heart that only guys can fill in. Ok lar got another hole also lar but that is not i wanna talk here :P. Women need a guy to acompany her, listening to their braging, their happyness and so on. but most guy cant do this for more than 5minutes. for me 30minutes would be nice, after 30minutes i ll get boring coz the samething will keep repeating untill she feels ok.
Man needs woman, woman needs man. This is always a fact from the start.. don't start on lesbian and gay thing here. This is not man needs women more or the other way round, we need each other as much as you do, not just sexual needs but in all matters- Heart, Mind, Body.
To nicole:
So don't say that you just need men for entertainment.. this is kinda hurt... but it's ok if u need kenny for entertaiment only. :P

As independent as I could be, I still want and need to feel/be loved. A shoulder or belly rub once in a while, words of encouragement etc. Pets cant do those.

Just look around, if women don't need men, why are they marrying? Why is every women I know looking forward to getting married?

Man needs woman is like man need perfume ie.. No perfume also never mind ma..But sometime without perfume, man stink like shit lorr.. with perfume, they not only smells great, they also look great !
So woman same like perfume, if no user, no laku la..
on thier own single. If man don't buy that particular perfume that means that woman must have got something wrong liaw..
So, if man with perfume.. wow !!!
if man with too many perfume, si liaw liaw..
So, Kenny.. now you are using Hugo or Nicole ?
Posted by: Raymond Lim at 01 November 2007 12:39 PM | Link to comment
hmm.. took me forever to get this page loaded properly before i could leave a comment.. Anyway.. NEED is such a strong word.. women need men?? i dun tink so.. otherwise, how can they live without getting married?? then again if u're saying the mechanic or the electrician you call when sth goes wrong happens is a man.. then yeah u do need them!
My point is.. men can give us ladies the love we crave for, the shoulder to cry on, oh-that-fleshy piece of fat for us to smack when we're angry, the comfort that we all just need. I have to admit, bffs somehow just don't cut it. It's juz different i guess.. the XY chromosome can never be replaced by the XX chromosome. And i'm sure SOME of the macho men out there would probably feel "what the heck.. i dun need a woman... she's juz wsting my life" but i'm sure their hearts will melt when they see their women crying or feeling sad.. and it even makes them more ego when the ladies oohs and ahh at their manliness for fixing the car or changing the lightbulb or smacking tat ewwie roach..
haha.. well.. Men are like waffles and women are like spaghetti (it's a book i read) men think like boxes and women like to relate everything together. Though absolutely different, it's the difference that makes both need each other:)
p.s. your blog's great kenny! props to you:)

Posted by: zhen at 01 November 2007 12:59 PM | Link to comment
Godness it is for sure that women need men, actually just to be precised, women are hungry for men..
1. To breed
It is interesting to know that some people with really strong characteristics will claim that without men, they can still have babies via clonning. However,without a cross over of gene coming from the "innocent" sperm of men or "vulnerable" ovule of women, their babies will just look exactly the same to them. So what's the point of having babies??? To get your own replica? Wouldn't it be boring for a lady with an unbalanced breast or a guy with a tiny penis to be able to predict how their babies will look like in future? There will be no more uncertanties and consequential to that further socials tigmatisation might even occur! The flamboyant group of the society is gonna continue stay good-looking and the bad-looking population will just grow bigger and bigger. There will be no chance for Hillary Clinton to have a baby mimic Brad Pitt as she wouldn't have a chance to simply "breed" with Brad!
2. Sexual sensation
Sensitive but true enough, without guy, sex will no longer be interesting for women. It changes the whole concept for how sex appears to women, they will no longer be looking forward to male with "strong" body, and they will have no need to try making their own "body figure" captivating.In fact, there will be no need for sex education and condom manufacture, which will further lead to the jeopardy of porn production!Doom day for women,and men.
3. Environmental impact
It simply means more rubbish made. Women used to not being able to finish their portion of food and more often than not, men are those who help to finish up the "food" so that it won't be thrown away as rubbish. Plus if men dont exist, I'am sure many women will start trickle down their tears and more tissues will be needed and thrown.Bah, is that how pollution works?
4. Last but not least, jeopardy of HUGO BOSS perfume business
Without men, why will people stillw ant to buy HUGO XY? Men and women, XX and XY are meant to be complimenting each other=)
-----------------------------------
As for me, life without women will be a big nono. There will be nobody who tries to act cute in front of me, nobody to share my lame jokes with, and nobody for me to give flowers to=)
Romance, tenderness, and Hapiness come only when men and women compliment with one another,and that mutualism exist between two creatures who needed one another=)

Ok... I thought I need a man in life as in marriage and all the predictable stuff...
But, after being dumped while two months pregnants, (Ok.. don't go to condom laa... my mistake la!), I thought, how am I going to raise this baby...?
Well, without man in my life at that moment, I took a brave decision... I will not do abortion, and hell, I don't need to it because just because a dick head thought that he can ruin my life, meaning I have to kill my own baby 'just because for the sake of society'. At that time, I decided to quit my job...So, basically I was zero on financial and emotional support from man.
I somehow manage to go through pregnancy... giving birth... etc.
But,that was two years ago. Now, that I have a good career, a beautiful daughther.. I am totally free. I don't need man in life... I already have a child... SOmehow, I see it as a blessing in disguise. Lucky me,I made a right decision back then.
Of course there is an emotional void in me... But it is there whenever I am with my daughter, because I am feeling love and joy. What more can I say? :)
So, you might be thinking.. I might be saying "As a conclusion, woman do not really need a man".
I kinda agree and disagree. But this is what I think:
i. Women does not neccessarily need man when they are in trouble. When you have family, you will be OK. Like in my case, I am still OK even without man at the lowest point of my life.
ii. However, I still need a man just because of emotional thing. I am lucky to have someone NOW for emotional support regardless of my past. It is good to have man in life that you can share happiness and sadness. Besides, it is kinda sweet to share 'all the small2 things' about my baby with him.
iii. TO have a man in my life now, I can still believe I am well protected. It cancel the thought of "ALL MEN ARE DICK HEAD".The good one still exist. :)
iv. Hey, I need sex Ok? Even it means that I only get it once a year!! (I wear condom now.. hehehe).
So, there you go...

Hey kenny, coincidentally, i wrote an article, some time ago, on the possibility that men becoming social obsoletes.
http://thaiboxingirl.blogspot.com/2007/08/men-are-becoming-social-obsoletes.html
I'd suppose, IMHO, men could well be heading towards a dead-end with girls, by becoming "display items for rental/sale in the accessory shops "

Hmmmm, I absolutely adore women. Their engaging smiles, the color of their eyes, the warmth of their skins..... all good.
But as the grand Kenny pointed out is alarming and disturbing.... oh man, not good for us male species.
That's it. This is too depressing for me. Where's my sprite.....

Men need women, just like women needs men.
It is a piece of puzzle only completed by joining the two both physically and spiritually.
Everything in this universe has an opposite to keep them in balance. Like the Sun and the Moon, Night and Day. Men need Women to fulfill their destiny just as Women need men to do the same.
No matter how advance technology can evolve into, no matter how many replacement we can find for companionship, nothing beats the true heart of an opposite gender. Because only humans understand other humans.
That's my opinion.

Actually, some researchers predict that the Y chromosome is getting smaller with each generation and will eventually disappear (I saw that on the Discovery Channel). Just look at the Y chromosome in your Biology textbooks. Its puny compared to the X chromosome :P Lol, you know what that means- males will eventually go extinct, and women do not need men to reproduce anymore. You get that in nature too.. there are all-female species but no all-male species. Something to think about eh?

Men and women will forever need someone in their lives because of ONE main reason. We all need to be loved. Need to feel wanted and need to belong. Other things we do for our partners like doing their laundry or cooking for them is just ways to show and express our love.Including sex(traditionally a way to express our love but now it's more to just satisfying the urge.)
Posted by: Letitia at 01 November 2007 1:55 PM | Link to comment
If I really go through all the needs for men over women u stated above, the only needs I want to get from them is sex. Since my student years, I have been taking care of myself with minimum dependency on women. (Besides my mother of course). But I was away from her when I went to college on my own leaving my hometown.
Among my friends in student years, I felt that guys can live more independently compare to the ladies. Maybe guys nowadays are doin things more like the ladies olden days, but I can say that guys can take care of themselves better, for eg. cooking, cleaning, washing. Its really a disaster when I went to ladies accommodation. Their place is more chaotic than guys! Not to mention that we need catch mice in ladies accommodation.
Maybe thats also becoz ladies are letting the guys do the "dirty" jobs nowadays.
As for our manly desire, we are still able to get that easily. Thats when the sex industry come into play. Or we still got our good friend "righty" or "lefty".
But what the heck, some guys dun even look for ladies anymore. Look at www.meatspin.com .
I might say, the needs between ladies and guys are still in a balance. We might have already switch roles in the moderm society, but still... its in a balance.
Thats wat I wanna believe.

hey Kenny,
Thanks for letting the girls know that you guys still need girls around.
I personally think that we girls still do need guys around, maybe not so much on the financial side but more of physical.
Like what you said, you guys need us to stroke your ego, we need guys to praise us too. yeah, pet dog are cute and nice to be with.. but you can't talk to them right?! imagine this:
me: hey darling, do you like me in this new dress?
pet dog: woff woff.
wtf right??
we all need love and needs to be loved. It's even written in the Bible that the greatest thing is LOVE! call me holy but i believe in that, ok?! Love, communication & phsysical touch are the reason why we are attracted to the opposite. Technologies are the creation of the Satan to destroy a normal relationship Men & Women are suppose to have!
Cheerios! =D

Guys and girls will always need each other.
They might not realise it. They might not acknowledge it. They might not believe it.
Other than our outward needs, everyone needs companionship. They might not need it today, tomorrow, or in the next 20 years. But eventually, we all will have a need for it. We may deny it when we're content with our lives, or we've been hurt in the past.
Everyone will need. Sooner or later. It's what keeps us human.
Guys and girls will always need each other. ... Well, STRAIGHT guys and girls anyway.
Posted by: Crescent at 01 November 2007 2:15 PM | Link to comment
Girls dont necessarily need guys, that is why we have so many of unmarried and single women. try to the church, how many are there nuns and how many are there pastors?
still, whether we need guys or not, boils down to this. Do we have it all yet? are we happy with what we have?
If girls think they have everything and don't feel like dating a guy because she feels it might disturb her career. but when it comes to having a baby, we can also visit the sperm bank and get ourselves a kid without a guy.
but i believe is the guys that need woman more than ever. some guys can't seem to stick to one woman but they need women. like russel peters
"OneGina and Vagina"
Women are becoming stronger each day and guys just can't handle the complications of a woman, which makes them weak. sikit sikit wanna break up or find another woman..
Conclusion: it depends, majority of the woman seem to live without man

Your posts (including previous ones)are very convincing that true love doesn't exist anymore especially among men. XD
It's all about demanding demanding and demanding.
For your current post, I would say that it depends on individual.
Depending on what are their NEEDS.
If they don't need anything from each other then they don't need each other.
Unless it's truly love that they need each other yet they don't demand anything from each other.

When my guy is lying with his head on my lap or cuddled in my arms and we enjoy each others' company quietly; letting every moment spent together pass by leisurely and seep deep into the grains of time; somehow knowing - no words necessary - that the future is ours and nothing can break us apart as we gaze out into the wide, promising horizon filled with hopes and dreams. Then slowly, as he turns and looks up at me, our eyes meet and pierce into each others' with a burning, pure white-hot love; the sound of silence so deafening and everything around us seem to turn blurry, yet nothing can be as clear as day the moment that wonderfully familiar, warm, loving smile breaks on his face, eyes wrinkling with joy and says the three most beautiful words: "I Love You". And that's the moment when I find him most gorgeous - both inside and out. And that he is mine forever and always. Harmony is overrated? Then so is Love. :)

erm, i think women still need men. it's the animal instinct. i still think that human are still animals, it's just that our species has learnt to stand upright, and [males] have put their tails in front [sorry for the bad tarzan joke]. humans are like animals, because in order to "get it on" we still have to play the "courting game", and men have to show how damn manly they before getting the ladies. so u know la why women are googoogaga over egoistic men instead of those timid ones.

We need men because it is very time consuming otherwise - Who else will tell us that no, we don't actually need that 1.5hours in the bathroom for makeup, accessories, hair and that the 17th dress that we put on *is* actually the perfect one.
On the other hand, like you have already said, men need women because their ego needs it.

What is it with you people, arguing about whether boys and girls should make out? Whatever happened to being asexual? Animals.
Posted by: Automobile at 01 November 2007 3:06 PM | Link to comment
I think the topic should be whether we need a man (as in a boyfriend or husband) in our lives rather than say whether we can live without men or women in this world (read: reproduction issues, etc).
I think we need to define what you mean by need. Women don't need men to survive or live and breathe but we need men to love. I think the basic human need is the need for companionship. There are many kinds of relationships we can form with people, like family love, friendships, and boy-girl love. Each of them fills certain voids and needs in us. It doesn't mean that we will die or necessarily be unhappy if we don't have either of those relationships. We can pour ourselves into other things (like work, hobbies) and still be relatively happy. But, having said that, we are creatures who need companionship, and loneliness strikes us no matter how full our lives are. We long to 'connect' with another intimately - emotionally and physically. We can find that fulfilling connection with family and friends as evidenced by many fulfilled singles as well.
But, perhaps man-woman relationships are the ones that bring the most intimacy, constant companionship and lasting richness if it is really love and not infatuation. And, all other relationships cannot satisfy the ultimate physical connection - sex. However, sex is just one small part of intimacy. Relationships and marriage would still be lonely if partners lose their connection with one another.
When women say they don’t need men, they are effectively saying “I can be happy without a man” and it is perfectly true. We women sometimes say that because we have previously found relationships with men to be heart breaking and it’s a defence mechanism to protect our heart from being hurt again ,or maybe the right one hasn’t come along to sweep us off our feet *grin* or maybe we are just happy where we are. But if we are in a relationship which is fulfilling, with a man who treats us well, well then, we NEED that man because the relationship brings much joy and ‘fulfills’ us in the void that all of us have for male companionship.
Money can’t buy you love but for everything else there’s Mastercard! Hehehe… Some of the comments here mention needing men to be handymen, to change tires etc. Well, money and women learning those skills can solve everything :p. I think rather than needing a boyfriend or husband to do these things, it’s more like we prefer them to handle those areas that we are not familiar with. The feeling that someone is taking care of us, or protecting us is a very nice feeling. And it still comes back to companionship and love.
We humans are lonely creatures indeed, not knowing what to do when stuck with me, myself and I alone. But if we can look beyond our self pity, actually many other relationships can fulfill us as well and we need not pine for that male/female companionship. In conclusion, we will be “extra” happy (and have extra troubles as well) if we have found someone to love but without it we need not be unhappy.

The y chromosome in male is shrinking as time goes.so if mankind could survive for another million or billion years,there will be no more male in this world just like a species of lizard which i couldn't recall the name.

Men and women need each other. We weren't engineered to be asexual or solitary creatures. Human beings generally need to need and be needed. Even homosexuals need companions of their own gender to feel complete.
Posted by: hedonistics anonymous at 01 November 2007 3:35 PM | Link to comment
Men and women were created for each other. Women still need men to be the breadwinner and soul companion. They love to hug and be hugged, kiss and be kissed. No man is an island.
Statistics have shown that married men and women live longer and have more money in their bank accounts than their single counterparts. Single lonely people tend to have more stress and spend more money to feel good to make up for their loneliness.
Kenny, women still need men as much as men need women. Just my 2 cents.

Forget about the fruit from the loins. Let's be honest. It's the process of fertilization that we all enjoy. Heh. Sometimes, there's just no substitute for the real thing.
That aside, I reckon it's cos we get pissed off at different things.
A gal bawls over chipped nails, and the guy soothes her ruffled feathers with a kiss and a hug.
A guy gets pissed over "referee kayu!" and the gal wearing nothing BUT a soccer jersey, and a beer and all thoughts of violence, looting and plundering goes out the window.
Sure occasionally the system causes friction instead of oiling the gears of life. But hey, what's life without a little spice?
After all, without a few quarrels, how will one have make-up s**?

Try raising a kid without a father. Yes, it is still doable but that is akin to saying "I can drive with my feet". Just because something can be done, it does not mean that it should be done.
Another reason I can think of why women need men is a practical reason; Who is going pay women compliments/support just as much men needs them from women ( unless both genders are entirely homosexual )? Both sexes have a form of ego. It is inescapable and downright ridiculous to fight it.

raising a kid without a father, something angelina jolie did before brad pitt came along. but hey that's because she's rich and all that. but many women are leaving husbands to raise kids on their own. because they can. no father is better than an abusive father. my mother raised us 3 without the help of my father. he was around, but was he a FATHER? my sis, my bro and i would answer no to that question. instead, he was a burden. but i shall not go into the details. point is, i would have preferred my childhood without my father, because the memories of him around disgusts me. and in times like this, IT SHOULD BE DONE

This is my part of your say Kenny.
Reflecting back on this issue based on all the current surrounding factors and the way people reacts to this issue, it seems like guys are no longer a necessity nowadays; but rather a desire.
It looks like back then when we guys are like food to the she's-they have to eat to survive- , we now seems to be like a optional entertainment to them-to do with , its good. to not do with , its still alright.
A close and detailed look around would lead to the perception that couple's are couples because of love , the admiration for one another. And. Almost not because it's dead mendatory. Not like the days when our grandaunties would match make two souls by all means necessary.
So. Being a guy myself, we Male Species™ should play along with this thrend and not mourne about the past, but rather build the future. If girls nowadays want love, or nothing, so be it. We shall offer love, or nothing else. It's time to be less physical, less mendatorial, less commandsive , and smarter to make us an option to them , but rather a choice they couldnt reject.
We make them fall for us! We are to be prince charming.@!@!@@#@#!

You're probably thinking with this insane, vein-popping determination that it's impossible, IMPOSSIBLE that a female who actually has a life and two firing brain cells to rub together would POSSIBLY have anything pointedly critical to say about whether females NEED males? Here goes.
Women do NOT necessarily need men. They say we expect too much from men. I say it’s vice versa. All we want from men is to be treated as EQUALS without being smothered by your egos and shallow men perspectives. Why do MOST men expect a medal and a gold star for doing what they SHOULD do? That earns you NOTHING, that is your OBLIGATION. It's just a simple as wiping your ass after you shit, we are not going to congratulate you for having decency and common sense.
What makes me want to hurl, are the people whom by the mention of feminism thinks that a woman is bitter. The objection of feminism by SOME girls mean that they get to label themselves as special, whilst they get to call the other more independent women as whiners, when it's the FIGHTERS who are protecting the rights they are ignoring. Hey, girls, REALITY CHECK: Don't think that those MEN are still going to continue to love your submissive, spineless, weak, giggly little self once your tits start drooping and crinkles up like a prune, with no brains or personality whatsoever to make up for it. For guys, just because we accept you as you are does not mean that we have given up all hope of your improvement.
I have had it with men convincing other men that to be "out-done" by one’s woman is to be humiliated. If we can earn more than men, or have a more secure job, and still see him as an EQUAL, then WHY on earth do they still have an issue with it?!
Women everywhere need to reach out to their more cranially-evolved brethren of the XY persuasion, and let them know that we DO APPRECIATE a man who appreciates us and what we have worked hard to become and represent. As long as idiots out there continue to perpetrate and support the mindset that "THE guy has to be in charge" rather than embracing the concept that "people in a relationship can be EQUALLY strong and capable", the gender as a whole will remain trapped in the "one step forward, two steps back" conundrum and never truly evolve. Men have become just as indoctrinated by societal expectations and gender roles as women have, and the effects are just as destructive to both genders.
Too many men think that their superiority come from the fact that that they must be NEEDED by women. WRONG. There are lots of smart, sexy, successful and SINGLE women out there who have yet to combust due to the lack of the presence of a penis. The primordial fear is that "If a women don’t need me, what good am I? What do I have to offer? Men need to realize that they have to offer MUCH MORE than paychecks and that they can’t continue to be children in adult bodies and get away acting like imbeciles. MEN have to be someone women can love and respect - someone a woman WANTS to be with, rather than someone a woman needs.
As long as we continue to condone immature male behavior, NOTHING is going to change. It’s not about sucking the fun out of life - guys; you can have tons of fun and enjoy life WITHOUT being a self-absorbed ass or being lead around by your dick. I’m certain none of this will actually penetrate the craniums of readers who stumble on this, but for the rest of you reading this I challenge you to do your part to change the world - DON’T condone and perpetuate dysfunctional, insecure male behavior.
I hate it how feminism always get dismissive treatment. I hate it that people often think that COLLEGE/UNIVERSITY years are the time to hunt for partners. I strongly OBJECT to the primeval notion that women should consider their college years as an opportunity to find a husband, hook some bastard up, or just fish for a boy. Women, regardless of age, should have an intellectual curiosity that goes beyond wondering if their shoes match their purses.
SO WHAT if we feminists choose to be loud with our thoughts and not sugar coat whatever that comes out of our mouths? SO WHAT? If that is to be defined as rude, loud and obnoxious, all I can say is that a lot of warm vulgarity is incomparably preferable to a little bit of pinched niceness.
The problem is that many SMART, TERRIFIC women have made themselves overqualified for the job of wife/girlfriend, because many males prefer women with receptionist-level brain skills, rather than anything higher than that. Meaning: If a woman doesn't hang on a man's every word, doesn't NEED him every so often, has a SPINE and brain that works in TANDEM, challenges his leadership, wants to create her own hours, demands emotional raises, then there won't be as many openings for the kind of wife/girlfriend position she is seeking.
It might help some women to understand male psychology if they understand that men see themselves as sexual predators; proud jungle cats. They pursue you(the female) through the jungles of seduction and then, with grace and power, pounce. Then they cling to your leg and whine for the rest of their lives. Male lions also spend most of the day sleeping. My advice to you, my sweet little female gazelles, is to R.U.N like HELL.

Who said women dont need man? Though we might earn more than man nowadays but a strong arm is what we needed when we were scolded by the boss, bullied by the rude ah beng, and when the weather is too cold.
But the bad thing is, Guy doesnt need woman as much as women need them. They choose to fling around when they think they have value, thts so lame, total shit! F* big time all those guys, to hell I wish u.

MEN...
- drive women crazy (literally)
- want to watch football
- neverhardly phone
- don't like shopping (I find that a crime)
- can't do more than one thing at a time
- don't do the washing up (that's why guys desperately NEED women)
- forget birthdays (and every other important dates)
- think they're always right (the ego: If MEN had PERIODS, they'd brag about the SIZE of their TAMPONS)
- have huge ego (similar to earlier said point)
- think they can drive better
- are never on time (this is a 50-50 thing)
Let's just face it, we can't live with them... but we can't live without them.
-------------------------------
Let's cut the sexist comments. I do feel that women do need men. Only because women may not be as emotionally stable as men. But somehow, men these days are learning to cry and need women's shoulders.
This may be the modern age, where women are a lot more independent compared to the days of our ancestors and grandparents. And I find that a blessing. These days, there are a growing number of women leaders in different countries... that does show that women don't need men.
I feel we do. As a female, life just wouldn't be the same. We need our men. We need our father figure, our brothers, and our husbands.
And men need their mums, sisters and wife.
At the end of the day, I'd say men need women just as much as women need men!
Posted by: jacqcst at 01 November 2007 7:20 PM | Link to comment
Women still do need man. Not so much to provide food on the table anymore these days but we still need someone who is there for us. Someone we can pour anything we feel like telling. Someone who will listen to you even though sometimes it doesn't really make sense. Someone to tell you "Its allright" and "You can do it" when you screw up real bad. Someone to cuddle. Someone who will be so excited that you promised to cook spaghetti for dinner. Someone you can pamper with gifts on occasions (yes, its fun pampering a guy too). Someone to whine and cry to. Someone that just makes you feel special...and that makes you know that he's there no matter what.
If indeed fate refuse to deal the love card to me, I still think I can live through this life without a man but life can be so much more sweeter with your special someone sharing it with you.
Posted by: Kristine at 01 November 2007 7:33 PM | Link to comment
Just like how men still need women, I think women still need men as much!
First of all, to balance the world and to stay sane. Can you imagine the world with only women? It'll be full of cat fights and bitches and pink and PMS and blah blah blah. Or a world with just men; it'll be chock full of testosterone, ego, etc.etc. It'll be a world gone mad. So we need a nice balance of men and women. We all know that men and women have different perspectives on things i.e. whether toilet seats should be up or down ;) There's only so many same-gender friends we can hang out with before we go mad.
Yeah, I agree that women have become more independent over the years but one can always do with some tender loving care from the opposite sex.
I guess it's just that gender roles have been changing. Nowadays women are not just seen as a domestic version of homo sapiens, just like how men do not just bring the bacon home. Men are just as capable of cooking, cleaning the house, looking after kids, etc. That is, if they admit they actually can, just that they don't want to do it.
So the opposite sex isn't just about traditional gender roles anymore, being together with someone of the opposite gender is less restricted to those boring chains. It's entirely up to ourselves whether we want men or women in our lives, not a do-or-die issue anymore.

Hmmm so we're back to nature... where the female species makes her choice of partner.
But come to think of it... the world has always acknowledge only Men are the dominant species of human, if there is such thing as change advancement in technology, change in culture, the necessity of viewing things at different point of view, why not see it as another evolution in this world?
We just need to accept the fact that there exist a new priority and choice in women's life of the current world.
Totally cutting men out from lives isn't really a best choice in life.
I even have a friend that made a daring sentence which i won't solely agree with her. " Men can even be taken as pets".
The necessity of having them around us AS MEN is indeed getting less.They are some what like how you say,Kenny.. an optional selection to tick it in a checkbox.
But hey, its also the existence of some type of men- SOLELY exist to allow his ego to be fed were one of the reasons that made them tick them off the list. I am sure girls still need an understanding partner to share with her ups and downs. Not to be bombarded with anger and ego whenever the guy is unable to face/solve certain problems they encounter.
So, being indipendent ourselves need not be a bad thing for guys.We leave guys with less burden! i am sure they wont find it comfortable if a girl clad herself to the guy like clothing.
Both ways, girls n guys just need to accept that culture has changed.
Just have to understand that there are certain facts of life we can't change and just understand that it always happens around us.Just like the encounter hypocrites in life! If you encounter 99.99% of human being around you are hypocrites, you won't even raise an eyebrow to even feel angry anymore right?They are just the way they are and feeling angry, intimidated or any other emotion will only affect yourself and no one else..

as far as i remember, IVF requires ovums and sperms, and neither any of these fall from the sky like rain.
so stripping off all other needs like entertainment, company, etc, the basic instinct for reproduction is always there. and if im not mistaken, that means a male and female has to be around. ;)

Women still need guys because we are sentimental human. We live with feelings revolving around us. We need to hug a man's muscular flesh; listen to sweet-talker who lies on everyword that make us feel great; and most importantly, we longed for the masculine smell to arouse our desire. But back to reality, we need men to pay all our credit card bills; drive us to work; and carry our shopping bags & be our security guard.... :)

Well, Women do need men. =P We still need love right? And Dogs, family and friends can give you love, but its' all a different kind of love. We women love others differently as well after all. There is an emotional need and by the way, it's not exactly that guys are not needed or girls are not needed. We are all equal and should be treated with equal respect and need. There should be do dominance in a sucessful relationship. =P

In this age of equality, we sometimes don't realise that being equal doesn't mean being the same. Equal status; unique individuals; you get what I'm saying...

as much i like singing 'I Don't Need A Man' by the PussyCatDolls with my girlfriends when i'm feeling bitter and hormonal, i still think that women need men, why?
ladies,
1.who's going to make you feel like you look like angelina jolie when in fact you look like you've just got striked by lightning?
2.the porn industry would die (not that i would care)
3.there won't be anymore sappy soap operas and romantic comedies to watch
4.who's going to talk nonsense and make you laugh hysterically?
5.everyone would be lesbian. (nothing against lesbians though)
6.the rubber industry would deteriorate because we won't need condoms anymore
7.we would have to resort to self satisfaction with the use of vibrators and dildos which COST money and DON'T feel as good as real willys (not that i would know)in the ABSENCE of porn unless your homosexual in which you wouldn't have any problems here (no offense to those who are)
8.we couldn't successfully persuade anyone by just
-sweet talking
-leaning forward when wearing low-cut blouses
-smiling
-crying(if u must)
-pouting our lips
9.there'll be less people to ridicule and tease without then calling you a bitch behind your back, admit it girls you do that.
10.we wouldn't be able to spend money we didn't earn and at the same time have it be given to us willingly (at times)
all in all no matter how many times we girls b*tch about how much we hate and can live without men, the actual fact is that in the end when we sit down quietly alone we fantasize and we know we love you. LOL

Being a woman... It's really nice to have a man around who needs me as I need him. Someone to share thoughts and experiences together.
It is the fear of getting hurt physically and emotionally makes in both men and women made up various reasons for not needing each other.

HI Kenny,
I do agree with you at some points of this post.
Girls nowadays are getting more independent, smart and not mentioning, drooling over pet dogs, shih tzu, chihuahua and pekinese etc instead of men.
Girls nowadays, desire luxury and money more than men. Therefore, more of these women are working and climbing the corporate ladder, stepping down the men.
No offense to men, I realise that more ladies are holding high positions in companies.
However, when God created Adam and Eve, they existed in a pair, and they were supposed to until the naughty Eve ate the apple.
So, actually, how successful a woman is, she still holds a soft side inside her heart, which only THE ONE a.k.a the man can get into.
Me, being a woman, can't deny that I always complaint about men especially my bf. I always shouted when we were arguing on how I don't need a man, that I can earn my own $$$ and stuff like that in front of him.
But comes to think of it...
I admit I need a man to share my happiness and sorrow..
and most important to let me bite his hand when I am so damn angry over something and to let me lean on his shoulder, crying my heart out.
this is when a woman turns into the most vulnerable and fragile creature...
and she needs a strong hand a.k.a the MAN, the hold her...and to protect her.

Of course la. Men own tools which would otherwise rust if not been put to good use. Shafts that need fixing also need some care. Nuts that need screwing and tightening are also important.Limbs that need oiling are essential. It is this delicate connection between man and woman that builds this machine called love and relationship.
Treasure your partners/ potential partners. :P

2. for our eyes so scan the party groud for hot guys.
3. for SOS call when our car decided to pull on some attitude. then v can have the guys to fix and get dirty and sweaty rather than us.
4. for them to make us feel safe and protected.
5. for them to irritated us but yet make us laugh
6.for them to give us cash. yes i kno alot of woman nowadays are having good career but cash from guys are meant to b spent without much of a heartache and purse ache.

8. for us to feel vunerable at times and for comfort and attention. just to cook a lil for them to make us feel "woman". i mean lots of woman out there now are strong career woman with strong attitude and character. v need guy to make us feel tat sometimes they are the one in charge.
9. for beautiful sex made for God in the contex of marrige.

to straighten thing out so that there will not be any more arguement anymore.
as what we are make of into this world and the evolution has make us as it is.
the both sexes need one another to function properly. like yin and yang, as the confucius always say we have to be balance it and vice versa. we cannot disrupt the environment so that harmony can be achieve.

Unless a woman can do whatever a man can do, then that will be the day where we women, no longer need men. But it is undeniable that its good to have :
1) A handyman to fix all the craps (read : car problem, read maps, electrical stuff, kill the cockroaches..etc)
2) If we cook and there's no one to appreciate, what's the point of cooking good food??
3) without the existence of men, there may be not much of a reason to doll up....so we might not be frequenting those shopping malls much...bye bye to Pavilion, bye bye to the Gardens...
4) who's there to be the man when we are scared huh?? sigh...
5) there's more...but I wouldn't want to bore you guys...in conclusion, we can survive without guys, but to live without the existence of guys...there won't be much fun!

A woman needs a man,
when she feels lonely
when she is excessively missing her ex-boyfriend
when she is alone during Valentine's Day
when she just broken up with former boyfriend
when she is lacking of money to buy her luxuries
when she needs someone to fetch her home
when she has to attend a glamorous promenade
when she wishes someone to touch her lips
when she needs someone to lean on
when she is in cold and need some warmth
when she is crying
when she needs him to repair her water closet
when she has lost her door key at the night
when she left her purse at office
when she doesn't know the way home
when she feels fear while watching horror movie
when she is trapping in the escalator
when she couldn't reach something high
when she has no place to stay on that night
when she wants to punch someone to relieve her anger
when she needs someone to carry her over barriers
when she can't live without a man...
I do think women still need men, for plenty of reasons. But when a woman needs a man, there is no reason able to stop her to.

Men and women need each other, its a fact. Cause lets face it, deep down inside, everyone's heart has a special little corner for that one member of the opposite sex. When that corner is filled with LOVE from the relationship, suddenly life is great. =)
We want to love and be loved by that special someone.
We all want companionship and the feeling of being needed by our special halves.
We all like those small yet meaningful things our loved ones do for us.
We love spending time with that special someone, time slows down.
We love looking into each others eyes, filled with love, which speaks more than any words could say.
We like to cuddle each other and find any excuse to hug and hold our spouses. =]
I use to find my life a boring void until i met my special girl, and now we are happy together. Aint nothing gonna keep us apart.
I love my girl and she loves me too...
Even Ricky Martin and Christina Aguilera have sang it before : Nobody Wants to be Lonely...
Cheers to everybody...

i do belief God created both adam and eve together for his very own reason.
Wat u have mentioned is true tat women nowdays are very much self-suffiecent and dun really rely much on guys anymore however they still some how need guy in their life in a long run,
as pets can't talk and can't comfort.
most of all women need guy simply to enjoy the beauty of love!!!love is the key element tat bring joy n spices to our lives.on top of tat love fill up the loneliness of our hearts with each other companionship.
Therefore to me both men n women live dependently on each other!!

As men need to be needed, women just plain need. Make any sense? A woman can rely on herself, sure when it comes to money and getting along in life, but there is just a difference between a man and a dog. Usually the girls who deny that they need boys are the type who got their heart darn broken and stuff. The disappointed and let down ones who think all men are bad. A true girl needs a true guy just like a true guy needs a true girl. To share life with. It may not even be a romantic deal. It can even be just friendship, cause I know ladies who don't get married and are ok with it and stuff lah...

It meant to be that we need each other. No doubt about it. No matter how sophisticated the society are. Well, we are brought to the century where man and women are equal. Hell Yeah, women can work for their own living, secure high pay job and so on but it the basic necessity that is the concern.
Man needs women as much as women need man. Is just not the same without either of the sex. As you said, man simply can’t get satisfy with blow up doll, same goes to girl when come to sex. Failing in love with dildo is just too weird.
You are born to be attracted to opposite sex, unless you are a homo and that explain everything. I do agree women can survive on their own but when come to basic necessity we are meant to need each other. Just like guy need girls to tidy the place, girl need guy to do the hard labour.

traditionally, men earned the dough and women made the bread. But now that women can do both, i suppose it is a little difficult to find a place for men in our lives. Especially men who marry working wives and still expect the women to take care of the housework. You've got to admit, from a woman's point of view: if i can earn my own dough and make my own bread, why do i have to susah susah wash two persons' worth of clothes?
it's not the end of the world though.
women have simply taken on more roles, moved on, upgraded.
and the men better catch up, instead of sitting around and whining. start with accepting that cleaning up after yourself is a permanent part of life.
women aren't just going to settle for any man... you've got to be worth it. good luck!

i think that both parties still need each other regardless of their intellectual and emotional capabilities following the evolution of mankind. the newly formed human race aka the 'fembots', although can no doubt fend for themselves, will still need men to fill up the emotional capacity deep inside. like cmon! it's just not the same having a sausage dog to cuddle for warmth during cold nights or when u need a manly shoulder to cry on. and men nonetheless, need women. not just for the sex, but for the comfort that women can bring. both sex need each other. yes, mebe things will change and women will the ultimate breadwinners for their families in the coming years, but without one another, mankind will extinct. plus, won't we be emotionally and mentally restricted?

if women don't need men why do God create human beings with both sexes?I believe God create each of us, men and women to feel each others anxiety,fear,happiness,sorry,joy,etc.He wants us to share our feelings with each other be it happy or sad or miserable.Its is only natural that men need women and women do need men in return.Some of you may think it selfish that men and women need each other for say maybe their own personal need but this 'feeling' of need is already embedded into us and no matter how u argue you can;t deny that feeling inside when u suddenly need a women be it for pleasure or chores or whatever needs it maybe.I'm just voicing my opinion and that is men need women and women need men as well.All things in this world that God create has a balance to it.
And let's put it in our daily routine.Say when you wake up in the morning,who's going to prepare breakfast for you?Who's going to help you change the tyre?Who'e to help you with the laundry n etc.One may say that they can do it themselves but who are you to kid if you say so.You will still want someone to do it for you cause you wan to feel the need and importance of that particular someone in your life and that particular someone wants to feel needed as well.
But then again this is all just my opinion and some of you may agree and disagree.And maybe I just talk too much crap.haha

"We still need girls to do our laundry and clean our houses. Call it old-fashioned if you will, but after a long day at work, very few men including myself enjoy doing household chores on their own."
To all males who agree on this statement, go eff-ing hire a maid, or be your mummy's boy for life.

Women need men, men need women. That's it.
Why is there even an issue about who needs who more? Men need women more, so.. does that mean women win? What did they win? The satisfaction that we are needed, which makes us valueble in a way?
Nay I say!
You can't just rely ur relationship on sex, googly eye, that butterfly-in-ur-stomach feeling and so on. After that phase in life, the hard part kicks in. You'll realize that u actually have to communicate, and listen to tons of complains about who didn't do the laundry, start to argue because things are not done the way u want it, get fed up with his egoism and never admitting to his mistakes, and being pissed off whenever she went to the toilet and the lid's still up.. so on and so forth. Which then became the source of the discussion that who needs each another more? Based on these flaws it seems who needs to get rid of who more.
But can't u see? This is why we need each another. Complains, makes u realize what they don't like, what's bothering them.. Egoism, something they succumb to because they want u to know that their men is always right, always very macho, and always there to protect you. They can dig up the courage to confront each another, starting with the toilet lid issues, thus leading to a strong trust between them because now they know they have the courage to confront their opposite, and also to tell d truth.
So, that's why men need women, and women need men, not more, but equally! =)

Oh wow, what a tremor you've just unleashed Kenny.
Lately, there's been this post feminist undercurrent creeping out in the WWW, and in most newspapers. Let me just stick to the facts and end this in a question.
Men are biologically programmed to mate and reproduce as much as they can. That's why WE MEN have a BALLSACK. We carry our generations, LITERALLY, around us ALL THE TIME.
TESTOSTERONE SHOULD BE HANDLED WITH CARE. I know it's hard to explain this to the gentler sex, but women, AS A FACT, do not know how men cope. They can't, and not even when their swallowing BUCKETS OF TESTOSTERONE, would they even begin to understand man's complex need to have sex. ALL THE TIME.
To all Feminists, men are just a larynx and a dick. They formulate on this and beyond this, and continue to COMPLAIN ENDLESSLY WHEN THEY DON@T GET ENOUGH OF IT. They hate the Idea of FAMILIES because, very obviously the very IDEA of MARRIAGE destroys the ROCK that FEMINISM is built on.
So to be fair, Men need Women, and Women need Men. That is a fact. Failing that, would a overqualified, independent, young lady with a career move away from the thought of relationships with men?
No. Why?
Because for Women, it matters how deep Men's wallets are. How much can a Man provide to the women's offspring, is the defining need of ALL women.
Thanks

Lesser needs compared to the past, but unless there's artificial 'man' or something, then women still needs men.

I wouldn't say women don't need men. That'll be too strong a statement to make. As much as men are complicated (Yes, I know you men think otherwise. Heh), we can't live without them.
My favourite quote: Men. Can't live with them, can't live WITHOUT them.
Who's going to pamper me? Self-pampering just isn't the same. You can't nuzzle yourself. -_- Sounds so wrong. It just feels good to know that after a long stressful day... you know you have someone strong at home you can lean on and feel safe. I know I can hug myself... but... uh.. it's just not the same. I'm pretty sure you know where I'm coming from.
I agree that women today can do many things. We are far more independent that was we used to be. However, we still need a man to make us feel feminine and fragile.

Vocabulary check:-
"MAN" is part of "WOMAN".
"HE" is part of "SHE".
"MALE" is part of "FEMALE".
Can't be calling them - "WO", "S" or "FE" right?

Well, It's nature that men needs women and vise versa. why? coz women needs men to feed on their ego to, like some men will sweet talk about how beautiful they are, how sexy they are, they smell good, etc. Also they need men to tell sweet lies XD i mean... come on..which women like HONEST men that would comment on their bad spots?
No one's perfect... ^^

All the talks about corporate ladies,wonder-women,politicians,datuks(once regarded for the XY only) certainly have proved that we women can stand up against the men and face them with mere steel determination.Equality we want,justice we demand.
However,i believe that we need men in our lives.Truth to be told,nature still plays it naughty tricks on us,making us the vulnerable,weaker species.We need the courage,Herculean strength and comfort from our man.Hence,even if women become stronger day by day,at the end of it,we do need you men to do the guy's jobs: changing car tyres,repairing electronic gadgets and the burst pipe etc.
Fear not my fellow countrymen,you dont have to feel used just because we want you there to do all the things mentioned above.We can hire a mechanic,handyman,plumber...Deep inside every woman,lies a Princess.A fairytale of being whisked away by her Prince Charming to a white shining castle ( too much of Cinderella i assume)..As much as you guys want your egos to be stroked,we too need abit(okok LOTS) of attention,love and care.TO tell us that we are the most beautiful thing you've ever seen since Angelina Jolie.To assure us our bottom dont look big.Be there when we needed you.
All in all,women need men.Vice versa.The cycle never ends.It just strike a perfect wholesome harmony.

-_-|| Kenny, if you say that women need men for entertainment purpose, then men need women for their ego boosting, house cleaning and sexual needs only? That sound much worse than women needing men for entertainment purpose only RIGHT?
It is true that women is on the rise these days in many fields - even in male-dominated fields. Supposedly women can live without men - a lot of women are able to do things that men can, like we are not so bimbo about cars, technology or electrical appliances. We can fix the light bulbs on our own, get things done at the PC or do those registering things online etc etc etc. Well, not saying men can't do household works like cooking, cleaning but they are just too lazy? And why is it that men needs women to do that?? Because it has been traditionally like that? Hey, that is so NOT fair!
Okay, before I launched into the feminist mode, let not diverse my thought on this. Like what most people said, men needs women and women needs men for a balance in their life (well, unless they are *ahem* umph, have different preferences when it comes to gender). To fill in the gap of loneliness, to have someone to feel our love, their love to us and etc. Makes us feel like a woman but definitely not to make us feel like a fragile poor thing that needs pampering and protection - that is just too weakling.
There is a need to strike a balance for the needs from both gender, harmony like the yin and yang.
Then again, I suppose there are some women who take men as entertainment purpose, just the same where alots of men treat women like that >_

Do we girls still need guys ?
It is true that women nowadays are more independant and stronger in many ways.. I wouldn't say we NEED guys, especially not to the extend we cannot live without them, but instead I would say we do WANT them..
Girls want guys they like to want them, love them and care for them.. They want to feel protected by their manliness and paid well attention to.. We cannot get all these from our pets..
But then again, because women nowadays are more independant, we know we can take care of ourselves even if we don't have a man by our side.. Unlike before, women weren't given very proper education..
Which is why now it seems like we do not need men much anymore, but the real reason would be we girls just do not let ourselves be devoted or give our heart and soul to a man a 100% in worries of getting hurt and also not wanting to be too dependant on him..
In conclusion, instead of needing a man we would rather say that we still want a man.. Needing sounds a tad too desperate for independant women like us nowadays, no? =) Haha..

Men do need women and so do women who need men...its all proven in our life....let me refresh myself back to our young age...when the time we were small kid, we as boys played a lot with the girls (consider our playmate ) which we quite enjoy the moment together. When we are teenagers, we all falls in love with both sexes attracted to each other. Without one sexes, the LOVE (puppy love or true love) there was no fun and excitement. Our heart won’t be pumping and beating so hard when we tried to woo a girls and girls won’t get the glamour when woo by guys. What an exciting and sweat moment of experience for both sexes then. When we reach the adult ages, we are like thinking to settle down after an enjoyable teenage moment. That is the moment we really have a good look at who is the best to be the partner in the life. Marriage life (second best thing that happen in my life) is never really complete without a child in our short life. So, to enable us to get one in natural (gods’ way), both sexes do depend on each other. The best and most wonderful moment in my life is to have a baby, when you saw your own flesh blood with the smile and cries, wooo, is the happiest moment in our life where both sexes felt it. Lastly when we get old, we shall have our partner of life to accompany us to enjoy our counted days. Who can denied that we both sexes doesn’t need one others…..this life cycle between both sexes and will continue and continue…… I hope all of you will have a wonderful life ahead and try to appreciate what lied in front of you and don’t ever regret when you lost that moment in your life .

Well, No doubt women are being independent, and most of the girls i know, want to be marry 30 and above, or not get married at all.
However, if you look at it, the Biomedical Science point of view, hormonal changes will drastically affect the women more then man. Human have natural behaviour "instint" to fall in-love with a counterpart, have kids and grow old together. Unforfilling this, might have a drastic phycological affect on them. Besides, one of the happiest moment in a person/couple life, if, they were to discover they will be having a baby.
If you look at it the genetic point of view, if you live independent, not get married, not get kids, you are label as unsuccessful being. That is the genetic point of view.
But, I would say, get a partner, love them, cherish them, as there is nothing like growing old together with your partner.

Hello.
I hardly, or never have commented on your blog. But I am a feminist myself and well, I just can't help but reply on this particular post.
Sure, the modern age women seriously do not need men as much as they did in the past. Sometimes even,I feel there are little things in which a woman can be so much better than a gentleman. Because plainly, guys are pretty much insensitive and unobservant to people around them and their surroundings. (No offense, really.)
But then again, when a modernistic woman has her successful career, her adorable pet dog, her surging bank account, at the end of the day, she would still feel empty because she needs her other half (irregardless whether it's a guy or a girl) to share all these with her. To share her sorrow and her joy, to have a shoulder to lie on when in need.
So, the final conclusion is, A girl will definitely still need a guy. But she doesn't need the guy more than the guy needs her. So don't be discouraged! :D
p/s.: Actually, to be honest, girls might even settle for a lesbianism relationship. (Afterall, girls are pretty much more sensitive than guys. :P)
