I Don't Need a Man......

How often do we hear "I don't need a man?"
So much so that inevitably we begin functioning in
our everyday lives as if we really believe this statement.

We make this statement for a number of reasons....

  • Because we don't have one at the time (A man)

  • We've been conditioned over the years through watching our moms and aunts say and act out the very same thing.

  • We've been hurt so it's just easier this way!

  • Fear of being hurt, let down or rejected.

My question is this.... What's so wrong with wanting a man? Someone who compliments you? Who is there for you? Supports you?

When does the time come when you want someone that you can share your life with?
Have we become so desensitized that we actually think that WE can do it ALONE?

Men WE Need You! and I ain't afraid to say it!

I for one am OK with wanting a man, needing a man and having someone who cares about me, supports me, compliments me as an individual. Someone that I can grow with, have a future with, have a marriage with.

Let's begin the Conversation, what are your thoughts about this topic?

Do you want a man? Why or Why Not?

In my humble opinion, there is absolutely nothing wrong with wanting a man. It's only natural to want someone to share your dreams, missteps, and innermost desires with. The problem is that so many of us are not looking for a person to share ourselves with, we're looking for someone to complete us. We have to BE complete before we find that special person. By being complete, I don't mean having a dream job or a big car...I mean looking in the mirror and loving yourself, flaws and all. Know yourself; how else can you know what you want or need? Without self-knowledge, you are doomed to repeat the same bad relationship over and over. Ask me how I know. How can you know what's good for you unless you KNOW you?

In my opinion..the saying “I don’t need a man” that goes right along with all these women out here hollering INDEPENDENT…

You don't need a man because you can take care of yourself, and pay your own bills and blah blah..Yes, as a GROWN WOMAN I would suppose you'd BETTER be able to do those things, but can you rub your back after a long day at work, is hugging yourself the same as a hug from the man who cares how you feel? I don't think so.

There is nothing wrong with wanting someone to share your life with, it doesn’t make you weak it makes you human.
