In the past, I just thought that these men were needy. However, I was having a group discussion in mixed company where a man said it seems like women don't need men anymore.
I feel as though women were forced to become independent and support themselves. Now, men seem to be threatened by our success. Do I need to act like I "need" men to find my soulmate? I abhor needy females, yet I do want to share my life with someone with the ultimate goal of getting married and perhaps having children.
What is ironic is that I would walk away from my career for the right man and situation. In many ways, I feel like I would rather be alone than have to acquiesce to a man's ego. -- MS. INDEPENDENT
DEAR MS.: As to your question of whether women need men, some do . . . some don't. I will tell you this: You, me and countless other women have been considered "intimidating," but only to a certain kind of man.
As for putting on the persona of someone who "needs" a man, don't try to act the part of a submissive, subordinate cupcake; it is too hard, and you would become disgusted with yourself.
Believe it or not, there are many men who cannot function with a clinging vine. Trust me, there are men out there whose personalities are complementary to yours. -- Margo, autonomously
Dear phony letter writer and phony letter answer babe - you both need to stay out of the gene pool. Thank you - the management.
Maybe she is a -itch.
If she is anything like any of those women on the ABC show last night, she's going to stay single forever.
Another "position paper" from DNC Headquarters?
Doesn't she contradict herself in these lines? She's thirty-eight and wants to get married and have a family? Better get moving on that!
And therein lies her problem. Marriage isn't supposed to be a competition between two egos - if she sees it that way it's no wonder men avoid marrying her. I suspect the men in her life know her by a certain 5-letter word.
EVERY woman on earth is psychotic, it is just a matter of extent. If you can find one whose psychosis is tolerable then more power to you.
Not for very long.
I went through a Venus Flytrap phase in my youth.
It's a good guess that anybody who feels compelled to write this tripe in some lame attempt to inflate their own ego is probably a total loser pig.
That said, how about some pics?
She "Needs" ME!
Any man who's been married once and in the market for a second wife is probably looking for someone who can change a fuse or balance a checkbook. Believe me. Being able to drive a stick shift or plumb a utility sink would just be lagniappe. Being completely indifferent to his sister's wardrobe or his mother's opinions is more than could be hoped for.
And men don't need women anymore.
In my opinion, that's why the divorce rate is so high.
In the old days, women needed men to build the house, plow the field, plant the crops, chop firewood, hunt and trap, etc.
And men needed women to cook, make candles, sew clothes, raise the kids.
Basically, this was division of labor. Each one needed the other to survive.
Now, men don't need women to cook, we have Burger King and microwaves. Men don't need women for their clothes, we have Wal-Mart.
Conversely, women don't need men for housing, they can rent apartments or buy their own. They don't need men for food gathering, they can go to the grocery store.
Right there you know she's a nut who needs attention anywhere she can get it.
DEAR MARGO:
I am a 38-year-oldsuccessfulemployed female, who - according to my psychoanalyst is emotionally secure. I'm also financially secure - thanks to grannies $2,000,000 inheritance. I have been told by my mother that I am very attractiveandbut since I wear nothing but leather, spikes and chains, I apparently intimidate normal men. I would like to get married butam thought to be too independentmy psychiatrist says I'm a potential serial killer.DEAR MS. INDEPENDENT:
The Marques De Sade is dead so your prospects of marriage appear dim. And please have someone remove all sharp objects from your house ASAP.
Dear Ms Independent. I have never read a more bloodless letter. Ice cubes would not melt in your lap. Get a cat. No, get three.
Get over yourself...you are not that important...
A man needs a Femichick like a Bicycle needs a Fish!
