Their instinct is to nurture families. Men are like lions vying for the opportunity to impregnate even though social mores usually stifle these primitive urges.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7169036.post-67867385865476948172007-06-04T23:33:00.000+01:002007-06-04T23:33:00.000+01:00A jolly good question, Jenny.

When that ended, I rushed into a relationship with Donna. Donna subsequently rushed off to marry some Dutchman and lives now in the Needylands. I live alone and have grown to prefer it that way.<BR/><BR/>Women (like Kelly and Donna) who have little education and virtually no marketable job skills are often dependent on a relationship for their economic security. Education is the key to financial independence and I hope my Meagan stays in school.<BR/><BR/>Personally, I think anyone who is healthy emotionally is quite capable of looking after himself/herself and doesn't need to be in a relationship. This type of person can live happily alone, but still (like me) might sometimes yearn for companionship.<BR/><BR/>There's neediness and desperation on both sides of the gender fence. To nurture and be nurtured are, I think, universal human needs.<BR/><BR/>And that's my tuppence worth.Dalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13337368222656258247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7169036.post-80132467911300346702007-06-04T20:08:00.000+01:002007-06-04T20:08:00.000+01:00I wonder what Dr Laura's opinion of homosexual men...I wonder what Dr Laura's opinion of homosexual men and dependancy is?©gloophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07016915384670394498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7169036.post-46670775747113083662007-06-03T20:51:00.000+01:002007-06-03T20:51:00.000+01:00To be honest, I would've said it was the other way...To be honest, I would've said it was the other way around.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7169036.post-58934581238017450072007-06-03T20:49:00.000+01:002007-06-03T20:49:00.000+01:00Men are just dependent as women when it comes to r...Men are just dependent as women when it comes to relationships. I listen to Dr. Laura on the radio at work and she characterizes men as a simple type w/ simple needs. Wrong, we are just as complicated as the women!Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17307171987084289916noreply@blogger.com
