Men need women more and women know it, except many of them are nice, discrete enough not to say the obvious-cause women have pussies and men love them,
not the feline
Personally I am single and self-sufficent the majority of the time. I am at best getting sick and tired and at worst mad when the civilian chicks, hottie in particular taunt to men they are
indispensible and they could get away with everything.
Having read many "chick" stuffs (maybe never enough) and experienced interactions the first hand, all I could say women needs men equally more, except women are good at manipulating the situation to their advantages.
Some, Asian chicks in particular are consummated like a pro to give the men false impression that after men giving/bribing gifts from LV, Prada, Cartier, Hermes and buying expensive dinners, she's going to appreciate and get intimate but it turned out you are in her control and she's mind-f**king you all along. To add insult to injury, she did this on purpose even though she earns more than you do and dump you once you are short of both patience and cash flow. She's essentially prostituting without providing FS and thus in her own mind, she feel she has higher morality than the SPs/MPAs.
For others, women would need men more due to a combination of women's laziness and lack of financial disciplines. This is especially obvious when the man's family (not necessarily himself) is wealthy. To her, he's a ticket for DB plan (Define benefit pension plan)/annuity, even for the Ladies who have financially rewarding careers.
It's hard to resist the tempation for those Ladies who earn high paying jobs to date the men who are deemed "wealthy" enough to pay recurring expense using
his own money, while having him to transfer his portion of "fun" money to her so that together with her take home pay, she could spend heavily, even incurring significantly debt loads on luxurious items mentioned above cause she is entitled and deserved it !!
Again, not all Ladies are going to these two extremes but for the majority of those who are somewhere in between, you are out of luck cause many of them consider men as either hardcore "hobbyists"/"pigs" or grown up/immature teenage boys who could not be "trained" by them and instead absorbing himself to the world of comic books, Xbox 360, PSP 3 but not Nitendo Wii!!
