Only men need to be loved… Women need to be wanted.

    I heard the line in a popular television show. Wish I could say I read it in some good Sociology book or something but I didn't.

    Anybody think there is any truth to it? :)

    Utter garbage.

    All men and women ever really want is strawberry jam. They're just too afraid to admit it.

    Speaking as a man no, none at all. Both men and women want to be loved and wanted.

    Well known phrase...

    Huh.

    Reminds me of this crap doing the rounds the last few days...
    You don’t marry to make yourself happy, you marry to make someone else happy

    Of course you marry to make yourself happy! (as well as make the other person happy too, of course)


    I'm not going to marry someone who doesn't make me happy, just because they adore me. Who wants a one-sided relationship?

    I think it's fair to say both partners want to feel wanted and loved, because we're all just human, and what superficial differences that may make us seem alien to each other are really just arbitrarily set boundaries imposed by society and culture. I'd love a good cuddle. I'll just drink this whiskey instead... **** everything.

    You sure that's not dogs and cats?

    Dogs need love but cats couldn't care less if you dropped dead.

    Try it. Drop down in front of your cat like you've had a coronary and it'll most likely yawn a little and continue filing it's nails.

    Kinda reminds me of my last girlfriend. Wait. I've said too much.


  • Posts: 50,630 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    I like being wanted. Possibly more than being loved. Possibly.

    word always reminds me of Godzilla
    Audrey Timmonds: Wait, I don't get it... If he's the first of his kind, how can he be pregnant? Doesn't he need a mate?

    Dr. Niko Tatopoulus: Not if he reproduces asexually.

    Audrey Timmonds: Where's the fun in that?

    Not sure,any people I know who are asexual just seem to not be interested in sex or dating.maby they like being loved in a friendship sort of way.they seem to be quiet content being single,they don't really get jealous and always occupy their time with positive stuff.
    People seem to distrust them too or really are unsure of their lack of interest in others. I've a female friend who's attractive and completly asexual,people can't make heads or tails of her. I've been asked if she was gay or depressed by numerous other friends. Truth is she's just not interested in others in a sexual or romantic way.she's focused on her career and is content playing sports and hanging around with friends i'd love to be like that.

    "If you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best"
    I can't abide that line spoken in earnest(Marilyn Monroe quote IIRC?). Though it's handy red flag to tell you you're dealing with a self centered neurotic. Like that song some older viewers may remember that was quite popular for a time, entitled "I'm a bitch" sung by Meredith Brooks(I googled). Where the title is the chorus and the verses explain why. Yep love you could have just sung the chorus and saved on airtime. However it was meant to be an empowering song. Though IIRC it was written by Alanis Morrisette who didn't understand irony either so...

    Oh. God. Yes. BTW and I'm not trying to be PC or any of that shíte, that low level nagging is rarer in men, but oh christ when nagging is present in a man...

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.
