   To be quite frank I don't think neither of the two need each other.  Desperation as well as dependancy is the reason for most "relationships" as well as marriages.  Needs are the important things that makes ones life as well as reality  productive.  I don't see another indivdual being a need, as though their entire purpose and reason for being in your life revolves around you.  When concerning two individuals coming together regardless of whatever the sex may be.  It should be due to a cause much greater than a material or selfish gain.  That is if you want it to last very long as well as be a happy union!  Then you have the temporary hook ups that happen on a day to day basis because we have our own agendas as well as our "needs"

   GOD, being the creator of men and women, knows why HE created them. The Bible is the manufacturer’s operating instructions, therefore, we should consult the operations manual to learn the TRUE answer to this question. 1 Corinthians 11:8-9 says “…the man is not of the woman; but the woman is of the man. Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman is for the man.” You see, a woman was created for the man to be his helper but here’s the key point: GOD did not create him for her, HE made her for him. GOD looked at Adam and concluded: that brother needs help! The woman does not NEED a helper, the man does! Now, every woman was born with the gift of service inside of her. She was designed by GOD to be a helper to her husband. The husband must recognize, then, that GOD made her to help him (drop his ego) and learn how to utilize her gift, along with her GOD given talents and abilities, to help him build and maintain a strong family!

   God made man and woman and married them. They both need each other as they are a compliment to each other. That is why God made a woman for man because it wasn't good for him to be alone.

    A man needs a woman like a fish needs a bicycle?  No that’s not it, how does it go G-L-O-R-I-A. 
    Men and women do not need each other for any other purpose than procreation, plain and simple. The need(probably more like an urge) of procreation is equally shared by both sexes.  If any adult finds that they need another person to define or complete themselves, they are doomed. It’s unfair to both parties. One person becomes responsible for the other's happiness while the other has no control of their own happiness.  It’s a no win situation.  Think of it this way, what man or woman would openly admit that they want a needy person as a partner. That’s basically what your saying when you argue that one gender needs the other more.
    
    For those who have quoted scripture, what would you say to:
    1 Corinthians 7:8 Now I say to those who aren't married and to widows - it's better to stay unmarried, just as I am. 9 But if they can't control themselves, they should go ahead and marry. It's better to marry than to burn with lust.
    
    Here scripture clearly states that it’s because of a lack of self discipline that people should marry, not a need for one another.
    
    Now as for which sex benefits more from traditional marriage, it’s a toss up. Both men and women can marry above or below their societal means.  I believe that in truly happy marriages there is no "lucky" one. Just one.

    Each person, regardless of gender, requires the same amount attention at the next.
    
    There is no difference when it comes to our overall emotions.
    
    One would not be more apt to want the other more, than the other wants them.
    
    It's a matter of individual opinion and need of life.

    I agree - it is a 50/50 proposition and we all need to make sure we find the right "mate" - then it is all good.  If you need someone to complete you or make you who you are, then probably not the answer for either male or female.  But if you need someone to make you a BETTER you - ah....that's the key right there.  Going on 35 years with the "right guy" - it is all about what works between the two of you - there are always quirks and twists and turns - add in family, add in kids, add in friends, add in pets, add in stress, add in jobs and a down-turned economy - but if you just have each OTHER and you can laugh and have a bit of a meeting of the minds and other things at the end of the day - priceless!

    I don't think that it is a question of "need". 
    (I am in my 40s and I can do household chores; thank you very much.  I might not LIKE to do them but I can, red.  I can.)
    
    I think it is a question of "want".
    Once you throw in homosexuality and bisexuality and trans-sexuality then you really muddy the waters, don't you?

    Being a slob single guy of middle age.
    I know women really think they are the flavor
    to male taste only thing is after bitter
    experiences men have options.
    
    Women around the globe,be gay,or go hermit.
    (done that lonely as heck but it beats being a rug.)
    
    I believe both men and women have options not be
    married,settle for anyone and enjoy single-hood.
    People have can died surrounded by friends,family
    and the many ladies, nephews, nieces, cousins and children
    that benefited from men who were not related by blood but
    care, respect, and responsibility.
    
    Remember men and women of the 1970's & 80's most of them
    are divorced parents or just divorced.
    Women took their freedom found both good and bad some
    had children with or without men other chose adoption
    or abortion. Both sexes need the other equally one sex
    may be better organized to live alone but it does not
    equate to better because of it.
    
    Actually men seem more clumsy at that women because women
    have learned to hide it more gracefully than men.
    I've seen clumsy ladies and men, I'm one (male)
    and its not funny. When that someone is by your side both she and he teach each other some though not all of odd man/woman thing vanish.
    
    I wouldn't want my expertize to be:"I can live without men/women."
    Both woman and men say that and most secretly cry knowing
    this isn't the life they want but must live until they find
    comfort in another human be either man or woman.

    There does seem to be a prevailing societal denegration of all things masculine these days, to the point that many women look at men as unnecessary , or at the very least, a necessary evil.

    Just in terms of sexually, men definitely need women more then women need men.  Just open your eyes.  When was the last time you heard a woman pay for sex?  Yet strip clubs and sex business catering to men are everywhere. 
    
    Growing up I was also told that I have to hurry up and find a man etc, I guess cuz women have a shorter reproductive cycle.  But I don't see that as relevant anymore as in this day and age, since people are just living much longer and fertility technology has improved.
    
    I have always found it to be the opposite, that I am pursued even pestered/stalked by men a lot more than I would care.  Granted I could see why because sex for a man is simply more fun/w/out consequences and women look/smell a lot nicer than men.
    
    In this day if you are a financially independent woman there is almost no need for a man, that is why single women are on the rise and I would even go so far as to say that is why in places like China they don't educate they women cuz if they do women wouldn't be submissive to men and the whole society would fall apart.
    
    Granted men and women need each other to reproduce, but that is totally beyond the point in terms of individual social welfare.  Men often drag women down to cater to their own selfish needs.

       Good post naomin,
       
       Basically I view it like this, men are a lot of times more openly lustful and are often the ones chasing women in their teen's and 20's. That doesn't mean that men are looking for a relationship, but just a one night stand. I believe it's driven by the need to reproduce more than anything, which is a natural instinct.
       
       Women on the other hand may experience the same lust as men, but in their 30's and 40's, while at the same time men are no longer looking (as hard) at that age.
       
       As for relationships, I've seen both men and women look for people quickly while on the rebound. I've seen both driven to get their crush.  I think in the aspect of relationships its 50/50, equal for the most part. It's the sexual aspect that is a bit off due to ages and the natural driving aspect to reproduce.

    IS IT BETTER TO BE SINGLE OR MARRIED?
    
    It is better for girls to be single but not for boys. Boys need someone to clean up after them. -- Alice, age 9
    
    “Women marry men hoping they will change. Men marry women hoping they will not. So each is inevitably disappointed.” ~Albert Einstein
    
    ~Male and female represent the two sides of the great radical dualism. But in fact they are perpetually passing into one another. Fluid hardens to solid, solid rushes to fluid. There is no wholly masculine man, no purely feminine woman. ~Margaret Fuller (1810 - 1850), Woman in the Nineteenth Century, 1845
    
    I believe both men & men need each other because women are sure good housekeepers but they still can't kill a mouse.....hahaha So women need men to kill the mouse.
