I think a woman needs a man as much as a man needs a woman. On the other hand, the "woman under a man" theory today is not true anymore as we see very powerful women around the world and women taking care of business as much as men do. It is true that there is still some gender bias especially in Africa but I think the focus today should be on how each one can contribute to the success of the family they are called to build. Men going out hunting and dragging food back home, and women taking care of household is not a reality today.

L.I.F.E : Living In Fear of Extinction

Hmm, interesting question.

I haven't done any empirical study on this issue, but i think single women tend to function more positively in society than single men. Here's why :

*Unlike males, single women tend to engage in less risky behaviour, even though they are accountable only to themselves.

*They will tend to have healthier food in their fridges as opposed to bottles of beer and last weeks pizza.

*Their place of residence will tend to be more 'homely' and less of a buddies hang out.

* They are probably more careful with their spending habits ( ...maybe not where shoes are concerned)


Single men can be broken down into two broad catergories:

A. The MENS MAN > this species is a hardcore sport loving beer guzzling metal chewing beast-  the rough and rugged type who displays most or all of the negative characteristics i mentioned above.

B. The LADIES MAN > this type's primary goal is to hammer as many females as possible. He is the clean cut metrosexual type who makes candle lit dinners and hums Maxwell songs. Many a female have found themselves wrapped up in his perfumed silk sheets not knowing wat hit them.

>> Back to the main question.

Single male type A needs a woman more than type B needs a woman. Only through having a woman will this brother, start getting organised, eatin well, and adding respectability to his life.

Brother B on the other hand is ultra organized, and doesnt need a woman as much.

As for women needing men, hmmm. Women seem to have an obssesion with settling down, procreation and all things family! So they need us guys more than we need them.

Some may argue that in general it is men who ask for a womans hand in marriage, but truth be told, most guys do so under pressure from their women. The sad thing is that they are usually so manipulated that they think THEY initated the process, hehhehe,... Adam my man, i understand!!

I think Men need women more than vice versa.

As Khabela stated, single women tend to function better by themselves than men.

In Atlanta, black women are dominating in salaries and home ownership. 
I actually live in Atlanta and I witnessing it first hand.
AJC 2004 HOME SALES REPORT
Black women find places of their own
Black, single females purchase more homes than black men. Single women bought homes at twice the rate of single men. What's driving this trend?

Also I read a survey, women are happier single and men are happier married.

@Dannielle, thanx for the links.

I found the one on home ownership in Atlanta particularly interesting. Sistas doin it for themselves huh. I take my hat of for such women, coz they respect themselves, and don't sit around waiting for some man to come and positively alter their socio-economic status.

I find women who measure success by how much a man has done for them totally repulsive.

Massive respect to the sistas out in Atlanta! ;D

You know who really needs who? Circumstances depict the pace.. Men in times of family rigmaroles, are more vulnerable and find strength in the consoling voice of their wives...

Women, the more sensitive of the two, are prune to recurrent breakdowns... so their men should always do and act as they wish... or else....
