that their self-reliant attitude does not make them attractive.
They have spent years becoming self-sufficient, believing
this would make them more attractive, and then suddenly they
are being told to start needing men again. When they first hear
that men need to feel needed and men are most attracted to a
woman who needs what he has to offer, they become confused.
To clarify this confusion and put it all together, a woman
needs to understand within herself why she may need a man
and then learn how to express this vulnerability in a healthy
way.
WHY A WOMAN NEEDS A MAN
Modern women have become so responsible for themselves
that it is no longer obvious why they need a man. In the old
days, it was clear that a woman needed a man’s protection and
physical support. A woman felt comfortable declaring to her-
self, her friends, and the world that she needed a man. Today,
she can take care of herself. She feels awkward needing a man
because she doesn’t need him for the same things.
To pave the way to get married, a woman needs to first de-
termine what she needs a man for. The more self-sufficient a
woman becomes, the more she hungers for the nurturing
support of a man’s romantic affections, friendship, and com-
panionship. Women today experience a deep longing to feel
the intimate passion that only good communication and ro-
mance can provide.
Instead of needing a man primarily for
survival and security, a woman needs a man
for emotional comfort and nurturing.WHY SOME WOMEN REMAIN SINGLE / 307
