Why do people dismiss men's needs for female companionship?

[mattyman]

Why is it that if you complain about lack of female company, some people say 'why do you want female company?' If you've been single, you now damn well that it feels better to meet women that are receptive to you, that want to get to know you vs. cold, you know damn well, that having the opportunity to actually meet women is better than not getting any social contact at all.

Why is it, that if you complain about this, people try to make your life difficult, by trying to suggest that your needs for female companionship, interest from the opposite sex, or even just a pleasant conversation, is a sign of weakness? That doesn't help.

I can say that when you do have regular opportunities to mix with women, it's certainly better than not at all. If you've ever experienced the fear of being alone forever and wondering whether there's anyone out there for you, having regular positive interactions with women you find attractive DEFINITELY does make these feelings subside. No one would deny that. Why do so many people try to disrespect guy's needs for female companionship?

Cause men have to fend for themselves. Always I am told to develop myself. I have given up on having a social life in favor of being a writer. Using my talents to make myself happy alone. If people talk to me pleasant then yeah I'll be pleasant back but generally I am an introvert. Until I go to where people's eyes are truly open I will write a lot.

feminism....their idea on this "if you need companionship from the opposite sex, you are weak"....its absolutely absurd and based on nothing...and its very sad.....its why so many women will willingly remain single, all because of this absurd idea.....just look through your FB and see how many attractive women who obviously have options are single......it is also why you'll get the "i'm just taking time to work on myself right now" and "i'm not looking for a relationship right now" lines

Don't complain about it. If you want someone to talk with about this who shows empathy, be selective about who you talk to.

People assume that dating/relationships is a trivial thing that you should naturally obtain. Frustrated males have never in history been given a platform. Women cannot relate, and White Knights perpetuate the myths and shaming.

Hello,

[~} It's very simple. Every species has weaknesses. The human male gender's weakness is that it needs human females for the 3-letter word. The female's weakness is that it will always feel inferior to the male and will try to emulate and dominate the male because the male gender has a normal, healthy, natural need to dominate the female. This is why feminism {(women's education, women's sports, women's jobs)} is so pernicious ~ it reduces males to needing females and in the meantime, assures female superiority over the male because of his weakness.

Thus ~ feminism exploits the weakness of the male and not only robs him of his natural-right to dominate females but is far worse ~ it makes him a slave.

Have you all noticed something?

The people who tend to tell you that "you should not need other people or a woman" are usually:

-- Not your close friends, but acquaintances trying to shame you, or trying to raise themselves up by trying to sound more strong and independent than you are and giving you advice. Therefore they are not very understanding or supportive.

-- Hypocrites, because these people who say that will not go to a restaurant alone for fear of looking like a loser. Nor will they usually travel alone either because they are not comfortable traveling by themselves, so they'd rather stay home.

-- Not very down to earth, but kind of delusional in that they believe in a lot of New Age pop psychology BS. They listen to people like Wayne Dyer, who preach that people should not need others, but be happy alone, and that you can do anything without limits if you believe in yourself, blah blah.

Any of you notice these things about people who preach that?

Also, what's funny is that even though Americans like dogs more than they do other people, they will never tell a dog to stop being needy and to not need people. Nor will they expect a dog to not be needy and dependent. But they will expect other people to. Yet people, just like dogs, do need others. It's in the nature of humans to need others, just as it is in a dog's nature to need humans. Go figure. America has some very warped views.
