The idea of a man needing a woman is actively repulsive to her.
This is why the idea "men and women need each other" is nonsense.
Women need men, men want women - in the same way parents want children, but children need parents.
That statement's always bothered me, because it implies a false equivalence where there is none.
No man's desperate to commit to a woman, though he may like the idea of family, but single women are oft desperate to be taken care of, though in their pride they may deny it.
Sometimes teenagers resent the parents they depend on due to negative experiences, and claim they don't need them and can do everything themselves, but this is frustration speaking and not indicative of true psychological need.
The same is true of woman in relation to man.
What I will say is that being responsible for someone who needs you more than you need them is good for building character. This is why, for example, women often become better people once they become mothers.
Sometimes a pathological desire looks like a need, for example the inexperienced man is often desperate for a woman because he feels like he missed out. He doesn't need a woman to survive, he needs one to overcome his neurosis - should he get one, she will still burden him more.
The parallel of this in woman lies with the desire for a baby. A woman does not need a baby to survive, and if she has one it will surely burden her more than she will it for at least a few decades, but the pathological desire presents as a need. They are similar, but distinct.

When a man tells a man who cares about him his problem, he'll try to offer solutions and assure him things will get better if he follows the plan.
When a man tells a woman who cares about him his problem, she will get upset and he will end up assuring her things will get better.
Burdening her with his problems will cause her to burden him with a strong need for comfort and reassurance. She won't actually help him. She won't make him feel better. Zero point telling her. Best thing she can do is not ask questions, encourage him and provide comfort.
Women are socially aware enough to know something's up without being told it's up, but not emotionally stable enough to handle a man's issues without creating an additional issue. They want to know, but they are not equipped to know. Nagging, crying and screaming are worthless.
The difference between a man and woman is consistency.
A man who wants power wants a woman who is submissive - no contradiction.
A woman who wants power wants a man who is dominant - massive contradiction.
Is why feminists are doomed to misery.
Unstable paradox, doesn't work.
Attraction thrives on polarity, not similarity.
Women with "dominant personalities" are universally disgusted by pushover men, so seek the strongest males as per their nature, except they don't possess the polarising positive feminine qualities such as gentleness and grace that men like, and thus are spiritually unattractive.
They routinely defend abusers as good men and accuse good men of wickedness
They protect the wicked they're attracted to whilst defaming the innocent who disgusted them
Given their track record it is frankly a miracle of human stupidity a woman's word carries the weight it does
This is not to say they're always lying, because they're not, but between the damaged lovers of narcissism riveted by Stockholm syndrome, and the narcissists themselves with a sadistic love of hurting man, the group's collective testimony is at best reputationally circumspect.
There is something in Islam about a woman's testimony being worth less than a man's, or something like this, when I was younger and more foolish I used to think that was an unjust thing, and I'm sure in practice it does gets abused, but in principle it makes a lot of sense to me.
Men don't like sharing their pain with women for the same reason parents don't like sharing their pain with children.
They don't think you can handle it, and they think they'll look lesser in your eyes.
And the thing is, they're usually right about both of those things.
Why would a man share these things with a woman? What is she going to do about it? Save him? Respect him more? No. She'll worry about him, but she'll also begin to lose confidence in him.
That's the thing about being a leader. You don't keep the job if you're not cut out for it.
And when a man opens up like a mother sharing her most intimate anxieties with her 8 year old, there's a sense of regret and shame with having burdened a weaker soul with horrors not meant for them. There's a type of disgust with one's self for failing to contain the suffering.
People always going on about how women are hypergamous and expect a super high income bla bla bla - only true if you live in a third world country. You know what's rarer than money in the west? Masculinity. Women here would rather marry a broke ruthless guy than a soft rich one.
You won't believe this if you've never experienced a woman's genuine desire. You will think male-female relationships are based on money/status. So I understand if you disagree. Just means a woman's never liked you enough to not give a shit about your income. Kind of a self-own.
If a woman isn't obsessed with you, she will only care about money/status. If a woman is in survival mode, she will use a man to survive. Yes women are drawn to wealth and status. All this is true. Also true that women break all the rules for a man they're obsessed with.
The first time a pretty woman who cared for you breaks your heart, and the full undiluted scope of her cold unapologetic selfishness takes centre stage and you see quite clearly how mercenarily she has chosen herself over you or any concept of "us" this illusion should shatter.
Perversely in this culture which has no rites of initiation for men anymore, amongst all the dysfunction and chaos occurring around all us, heartbreak seems to perform that function.
Men who've never been heartbroken are incredibly ignorant about what women are capable of.
Society will dismiss your experience and say you chose wrong, you're bitter, not all women are like that and you can't generalise, that there's no universal truth to what you've observed and you can't extrapolate from it even if you can corroborate it with thousands of other men.
