Women are good for sex. They are good for comfort. They can provide you with emotional support. Physically, their mere presence can cause pitched tents. If you?re a wild guy, they can tame you to make sure you still have fun without getting into much trouble.

They are also fiends for money. Not in the sense that they chase money endlessly, that the actual green itself is what turns them on, or that the smell of a crisp century note can flood their panties like an uncovered car at a wash. Rather, it is the things that money can buy that women want; clothes, furniture, household items, backyards, children (when I say children, I mean the support for the children, i.e. clothes, food, toys, etc.), jewelry (for some women this is important, others care not about blood diamonds), fancy foods, fancier wines, and of course, bragging rights to be used against other females.

Do men need women? Some do, but the majority does not. However, the majority do WANT women. That is important to remember. Women like to argue that males need females in their lives, but it really is not true. Females actively promote this thought because it enables them to get those items that money can buy.

It is essential to know, or at least be aware that because men are paid more, given jobs with more power, and generally considered to be the ones that move up career wise, they will ultimately have an easier time living without a female. This is the basis for why a man does not need a woman, but a woman does need a man.

A 40 year old single man with plenty of cash to burn can find girls willing to provide him sexual satisfaction and companionship in return for several months of luxury living. But a 40 year old single woman with plenty of cash to burn finds that the males consider her old, her features declining, and probably an alpha-type personality (which is what it takes for a female to move up in her career). Either that, or she divorced some rich guy, and nobody wants that.

Be a man. Life?s easier that way.

no

 

[SunnyD]

You are and always will be single, no?

 

[Lola]

I am confused.... is this L&R? Not really, but what... is it... about?! Women? But it is not truthful so...

You fail at life

 

[PepePeru]

It's a rare condition, this day and age,
to read any good news on the newspaper page.
Love and tradition of the grand design,
some people say it's even harder to find.

Well then there must be some magic clue inside these tearful walls
Cause all I see is a tower of dreams
real love burstin' out of every seam.

As days go by,
we're gonna fill our house with happiness.
The moon may cry,
we're gonna smother the blues with tenderness.

When days go by,
there's room for you,
room for me,
for gentle hearts an opportunity.

As days go by,
it's the bigger love of the family.

I came so far for beauty left
so much behind
My patience and my family
My masterpiece unsigned
I thought I'd be rewarded
For such a lonely choice
And surely she would answer
To such a very hopeless voice
I practiced on my sainthood
I gave to one and all
But the rumours of my virtue
They moved her not at all
I changed my style to silver
I changed my clothes to black
And where I would surrender
Now I would attack
I stormed the old casino
For the money and the flesh
And I myself decided
What was rotten and what was fresh
And men to do my bidding
And broken bones to teach
The value of my pardon
The shadow of my reach
But no, I could not touch her
With such a heavy hand
Her star beyond my order
Her nakedness unmanned
I came so far for beauty
I left so much behind
My patience and my family
My masterpiece unsigned

Osborne: Do what you need to with her and broom her fast.

 

[Turin39789]

There was someone that I used to know
she was a personal friend of mine
we were lovers long ago
back in the traveling times
and I happened to pass through her town
I thought I'd call her on the phone
so we could talk about what we'd found
she said, hey, please just leave me alone

Oh, and I
I don't know
everywhere I go
sorrow is as thin as an electric mandolin
and the moon is as round as a banjo

I guess he took it pretty hard
he just kept drinking all through the night
we walked along by the old church yard
in the bloodshot morning light
He said, "I was always afraid she'd go away
I've been expecting it for years"
and as I looked at the cold blue bay
it looked like my friend's eyes all full of tears

Oh, and I
I don't know
everywhere I go
sorrow is as thin as an electric mandolin
and the moon is as round as a banjo

Oh, grandmother has seen such grief
that when she laughs we all go crazy
she says that it is her belief
that us youngsters get too lazy
we give up on love so fast
and we scatter out so wide and so far
we dream of no future and we love no past
grandma don't know where all her great grandchildren are

Oh, and I
I don't know
everywhere I go
sorrow is as thin as an electric mandolin
and the moon is as round as a banjo

There's so many of my friends
and I bet there's some of yours too
who find themselves at such loose ends
all grown up and nothing to do
just trying to make a little dough
and help eachother through the dark
I hope they find a way to go
I pray they will not lose their spark

Oh, and I
I don't know
everywhere I go
sorrow is as thin as an electric mandolin
and the moon is as round as a banjo

I'd like to meet you someplace
besides a tavern or a station
where we could look at eachother's face
in a little better situation
we could have some supper and a talk
play that music that we love
and we could take a country walk
under the holy stars above

Oh, and I
I don't know
everywhere I go
sorrow is as thin as an electric mandolin
and the moon is as round as a banjo

The smoke from the battle fish and the rain soaked through
and the wheelman left the shore
and barns tumbled and silos flew across fifteen miles bad road tar
And big Bull Trometer hung on to the side
and the pig dogs trembled on Spidey's wild ride

And big John Jizom from downtown Chizom
flew away with old mrs. Storm(2)
And they found Bird Lundy neath a keg of nails crooked as a dog's hind leg
Keeping warm after twenty-nine days on hard assed bread
he drilled to the big outside and clung like a tick to his waterfront
life mooned and clouded, blued and skied
And all the clocks blew up on Spidey's wild ride

And the hills stood up in a great big 3
and left me whipped by the forces that were inside me(3)
Loud as the ocean, cold as a desk, red as the water on the river of flesh
And he was sewing up his pants while he was shoeing a mule
And he was bucking a head wind gale
But the crooked ass beauty was trapped to the side
and he shook on Spidey's wild ride

And all the statue ass makers, and the uprooted trees
And I shouted way up to where the rabbit digs his hole
and the wheelman, the jockeys the landlords and thee
were bucking a head wind south
and with nine lives spent, he landed on his rent
composed with a steele head salmon in his mouth(4)
and I never did see another day outside
cause I'd had enough travel on Spidey's wild ride

This would be against Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs Theory or, if you don't like Maslow, any other need based construction of psychology. Most psychologists would say that no matter if Maslow hieratical or Neef more ontological approach is correct, a need based dynamic drives us, and at the very core of that dynamic is a need for intimacy.

Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Madman drummers bummers,
Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat
In the dumps with the mumps as the adolescent pumps his way into his hat
With a boulder on my shoulder, feelin' kinda older,
I tripped the merry-go-round
With this very unpleasin', sneezin' and wheezin,
the calliope crashed to the ground
The calliope crashed to the ground
But she was...
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,

Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Some silicone sister with a manager mister told me I go what it takes
She said "I'll turn you on sonny to something strong,
play the song with the funky break"
And go-cart Mozart was checkin' out the weather chart to see if it was safe outside
And little Early-Pearly came by in his curly-wurly and asked me if I needed a ride
Asked me if I needed a ride
But she was...
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
She got down but she never got tired
She's gonna make it through the night
She's gonna make it through the night
But mama, that's where the fun is
But mama, that's where the fun is
Mama always told me not to look into the eye's of the sun
But mama, that's where the fun is
Some brimstone baritone anticyclone rolling stone preacher from the east
Says, "Dethrone the dictaphone, hit it in it's funny bone,
that's where they expect it least"
And some new-mown chaperone was standin' in the corner,
watching the young girls dance
And some fresh-sown moonstone was messin' with his frozen zone, reminding him of romance
The calliope crashed to the ground
But she was...
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Blinded by the light,

Now Scott with a slingshot finially found a tender spot and throws his lover in the sand
And some bloodshot forget-me-not said daddy's within earshot save the buckshot, turn up the band
Some silicone sister with a manager mister told me I go what it takes
She said "I'll turn you on sonny to something strong"

I do not know what that hierarchy of needs is, so I went to wiki and read about it. I have returned with more knowledge.

What Maslow said, or the short paragraphs I read, is definitely true. By true I mean that I believe it to be true. But I am not arguing against what he said. A need for intimacy is not to be neglected, but you need not to become seriously involved with a female to get this intimacy. Maybe 1 night a week with an escort or a benefits-friend is all the intimacy you REALLY need. You may want every night to be intimate, but that is not a need.

When we say intimacy we don't mean sex. Intimacy is something much more.
You can pretend you are getting it form an escort but you are not, and like a man eating nothing but sugar, you will starve on that diet.

I don't want you to know the pain I've known
A man should not have to walk his row alone
Of all the things in life, count on one
I'll always be behind you son

He said life is a gamble
and before you throw them dice
if it's more than you can handle
please take this advice
He said stand your ground and don't back down, that's the only way to win
When life throws a punch son, you've got to take it on the chin

I don't want you see the things I saw
This old world can be so cruel after all
Of all the things in life cound on one
I'll always be behind you son
He said life is a battle and it ain't even fair
but if you stay up in your saddle,
you're already halfway there

He said stand your ground and don't back down
that's the only way to win
When time throws you a punch son,
you've got it take it on the chin

But now we are alluding to something quite subjective. Mind you, almost all of my OP (or perhaps all of it) is a formulated opinion.

What is your "necessary" level of intimacy? Is it sex? Is it cuddling? Whatever it is, how can you be so sure that I need that very same level? What is intimacy for you may be overblown to me, or possibly nothing at all.
