As a dude, I often feel women don't really need men in their lives, at least not as much as we need them.

Men put on this whole macho "I'm my own person" image, but in reality I think they need a woman for support more than women need a man.

Sexually, it's obvious women aren't nearly as into men as men are into women - most men only find ugly chicks repulsive, while most women are repulsed physically by the majority of guys.

I think women get a lot of emotional support and even non-sexual affection from each other, whereas men tend not to provide those necessities to their buddies. And, I've known a lot of women who say they enjoy sex without a partner more than they do with one (though I wouldn't count myself in that group). So, you may be onto something.

I don't need a woman to be a man.
I don't care about being perceived as a man by others, all I care about is being myself.

I find hypocrites repulsive and don't care whether they are men or (beautiful & sexXxy) women.

Women, men or children, I get my emotional support where I can get them.
Not that my xxx-large ego needs lotsa emotional support.

I could have written this one, it's EXACTLY LIKE THAT.
Where are live, the two main driving forces of women are children and carreer, then family.
Interest in men per se come far behind.

Yes, unless you're Brad Pitt or Nick Jonas, chicks couldn't care less about men. That's why they're all going lesbian.

Given a choice between a man in my life or a best girlfriend, the girlfriend wins hands down these days. Now that we're, financially, self sufficient, men are an accessory. Not that we don't like them but we can do just fine without them and sometimes male/female relationshs just aren't worth the trouble.

Are you lesbian? If you are that's cool, I'm just curious who's saying this.

Unfortunately, many non-lesbian women think like that.
I wonder, what all this indifference/passive hostility to men is going to lead to in the end.
