lol I don't NEED a bf i WANT one - theres a difference, but maybe that'll change over time, far as i know the only things you NEED are food, water, shelter, good health, etc etc those sorta things.
I have a soul mate which I need like I need food, and water. But its not just because hes a man. (or a girl for that matter) Hes just the other half of my soul.
Well, I'm married, but here goes nothing... I've never felt like I NEEDED a man/woman. Why? I guess part of it has to do with the fact that I grew up with a single mother, and especially now... we lost my stepdad last Summer, and she's moved on and though she'd (of course) prefer to have him here, she's happy with her life and the way it's going. Now, I don't feel like I NEED my husband. If I needed him, I would feel like I just couldn't live without him. I'd prefer not to, but... if it happened, I know I could still be happy and get along just fine on my own.
i dont -need- a lifetime partner, i can survive on my own. but life is so much better with my love around
I like men and they do make a valuable contibution to society but equally I am perfectly capable of having a good life without forming a romantic/commited relationship with a man (assuming that's what you mean, rather than my brother & father) From an entirely pragmatic perspective I have my own income and will eventually get my own home. That and I also have never felt any particular desire to have a romantic relationship with anyone. Only potential issue is that I do want children, but then I'll probably adopt so yeah it'll work out.
Just thought i'd throw this out there, a need is something required to create or continue a want... want to live; need water... want to fly; need a plane, or majical wings.
Need? Nope. What are men for? Sex? Got myself. Reproduction? Don't want kids at this point in time. Affection/love? I have friends, family, hell-complete strangers for that. Do I like men? Um...yes. Men are amazing.
I never needed anyone until I met my fiance. i always made a decent amount for my age, loved dating, have lots of girlfriends and a very close and loving family. I am soooo emotionaly dependent on my fiancee and he's my best friend too. I really need him because he is him, not because he is a man. If I wasn't with him I would not need a SO.
I enjoy the freedom of being single... of doing what I want, of going wherever I want, of not having to give any explanations, of not having to deal with a possible future mother in law (yuckk!!)...
i agree with those who said, there's a difference between need and want. definitely don't need a man. and unless he's appropriate for me, don't want one either.
So you want children? Go here and read: http://hipforums.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3662539&postcount=1
i don't need A man, i need MY man. the teamwork required to do the things we want, plus the joy of each other's company is pretty crucial to our continued well being.
I don't need a man, but I like men. A lot. I also like the connection that I can only find with a man. Trust me I've explored other options and I know that I can only get what I want from a man. But I can pay my own bills and live life just fine. I don't NEED a man. I just like the company of them. Could be all of my issues from my father though, so don't listen to me.
Really? I don't get the whole mother-in-law thing. i am so excited to meet my fiance's mom and show her that her son is going to spend the rest of his life happy *pulls up necks line on shirt*
