Why do most women depend on a man to support her?

You know I wonder about that myself,I guess it has to do with the way women were raised thinking that a man should provide for them and buy them stuff, WRONG! if you want to have a nice house an a nice car then WORK for it I did!

Not all women do and I think you know that.  There are loads of guys out there living off hardworking women.\n\nHonestly if I had a choice a man with his own source of income would be preferable because I wouldn't want to have to foot the bill for everything...and I have had to do that and it's not fun when you're not independently wealthy.\n\nBut based on the way I was brought up, I'd prefer to continue to make my own money, man or no man.  Thanks

Not all men are like that.  Only the bums are.  REAL men take care of their lady.

Most women will say that they want a man who will treat her kind and be good to her, but when they get get one they often take the kindness as a weakness, and women want a strong man. I was with a woman who was once in a very abusive relationship, I always tried to be nice and gentlemanly but after a while it got to the point to where she was always trying to be dominant in EVERYTHING, I would try to be diplomatic and compromising but she wouldn't have it like that, it was her way or no way. She was very spoiled, she was the youngest of 5 girls and her father always let her get her way. But I've found that most women are basically the same way, if you give in to them too many times then they will become belligerent and abusive (not necessarily physically, but certainly psychologically and emotionally). Many will cheat, she got with my stepbrother while I was out out town working (more than once). I jumped on him when I found out then ran him off and told him to never come back. she was glowing when I came back inside. (like I had fought over her, it takes two to tango, she wasn't innocent) But I myself used to be of the same abusive, (yet non-violent) nature when I was married and I had a real good wife (I NEVER cheated though [didn't need to]). But I basically treated her like the couch in the living room, when I need it, it was there, other than that I could care less and when we'd argue I'd get off topic and just start saying things to make her feel bad. When my life left me I swore that I would never treat a woman that way again. (I still miss her after 15+ years) But all I seem to meet now are just plain wrong. All I can really say is be nice, but be tough. Try to be manly without being overbearing. But I don't know, I guess if it ever gets to the point that you're arguing and it looks like she's going to do whatever she wants anyway just to defy you, DON'T "punch her in the freakin face" punch a hole in the wall if you have to or break something (something cheap and trivial) DO NOT break something that she values. (I hope you don't have to resort to this) but when you appologize for it all (as you should) don't be too submissive. no whiney "Oh baby, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean that, please forgive me". Be firm, more like, "Look, I'm sorry, but you just really upset me", then explain what and how she upset you. Make sure you appoligize within minutes of your rage, it may be one of the few times that you have her absolute attention and you'll need it. Be sensible and practical, but if the reason for you getting mad and not wanting her to do whatever it was she wanted was just because "you said so" then you probably should've just let her be in the first place; they want a "take control" man not a controlling one. They also like a smart man, not a smart *ss man. and don't be too smart every so often act like you don't know something that you do and ask them what it means or how it works.\nI guess as far as how to treat them try this, If you have sisters, think of the way you father was towards them, both in his kindness and in the way he got on to them (when he was mad). Treat a woman like that.(UNLESS you had an abusive father, then never mind. sorry for you [blocking out the bad part sometimes helps if you can do that]). But still, most women are looking for a father figure anyway (at least subconsciously). Oh, and if you didn't have sisters, treat them at least three times as good but only about a quarter as bad as your dad was to you. I say this because that was about the ratio of generosity and fury between my sisters and I that was gotten my our father.\n but don't listen to me if I knew anything about how to treat a woman I'm sure I'd still be married. (or at least have one)

ACTUALLY A REAL MAN DOES KNOW HIS ROLE AS A RESPONSIBLE PARTNER. THE REAL QUESTION WHY DO WOMAN PICK MEN WHO DONT HAVE A CLUE ON HOW TO BE A GOOD PARTNER. THE SIGNS ARE ALL THERE. THEIR HOUSE IS DIRTY, THEY DRINK WITH THEIR BUDDIES ,HAVE SEVERAL PART TIME JOBS, AND NEVER GO TO CHURCH. AND FOR SOME STRANGE REASON WOMEN PICK THEM AND TRY TO CHANGE THEM INTO WHAT THEY WANT. THEN ACT SUPPRISE WHEN THE MEN DONT CHANGE.  WOMEN NEED TO FIND A MAN THAT THEY DONT NEED TO CHANGE. MANY OF USE ARE OUT THERE JUST OPEN YOUR EYES AND LOOK FOR THE SIGNS.

Women need men far more.  They just don't need any specific man, and therefore they feel no need to show respect.\n\nWithout men, women act like flailing little children with no home and no technology.\n\nWithout women, men are pretty much the same as they are now.  We know this because we've seen explorers go off on their own and create entire societies in the wilderness.  Men don't need women for anything but sexual relief and emotional completion.  But over the centuries we have found women incompetent even at those things.  And so we invented substitutes - religion and masturbation.\n\nNow it seems as if women don't need men, because men are so incredibly competent at making women happy and healthy.  Now we even give them jobs and money and property and credibility.  They would have none of this without us.  \n\nBut your question is incredibly poignant.  Why should the most competent human beings have us all convinced that it is they who are the sources of our need and happiness?  \n\nThe answer is sad but simple: women are so incompetent that they can't even maintain a satisfying self-image without putting men in the dumps.\n\nWhat a sick bed we have created for ourselves to lie in.  Thank you for exposing it with your question.

Women need Men, Men need Women.  We are dependent on each other.

You find a female that is employed.  One that is able to stand on her own two feet, that doesn't need you financially.  There aren't many of us out there, ones that strive to make the best of ourselves and want to be self-sufficient, but we are out there.

I think because women seek medical help and have routine exams more frequently than men.  I think it's a macho thing for the man to suffer w/o seeking medical attention.

It might start off that way, but feelings change and eventually one person will want more out of the relationship than the other.  From my experience, it's usually the women who think "maybe it'll be different with me".  Women tend to be more emotional and invest a lot more in these types of relationships than men do.  Men are much more able to stay "disconnected" until they're ready for a relationship.

Because they are insecure creatures and do not believe they are worth being loved in a true and pure manner.  The best way to handle a woman is to be manly with her plain and simple.  I call it "being Sinatra" ... After you practice being a take charge type of guy she will respect you....Stop asking a woman "what do you want to do?" and start making plans and sticking to them...That's what women want and that's what they respect because they only knew from what they saw their daddy doing, and he was always in charge of her.....Once they get older they find all these mamby pamby boys that are always trying to be nice.  Be nice when you need to be and be manly all the time.  good luck damn it.

Men want to be able to take care of and provide for their families. He's not leaving you or anything like that. He's just trying to give you the best life he can. You should try to be supportive of him.

Most of the time it has to do with the fact that they had a poor male role model growing up. Often going after the same type of man they know well in their life.  It is sad, but breakable, woman just have to want it to be different and realize when it is happening. They need to recognize the triggers and check themselves so they don't repeat poor choices in men.

no, men need 20 different women to take care of their one need, while women need one man to take care of their 20 needs...sigh..., i feel for you girl! have someone he doesn't know follow him and get proof before you confront him. if it turns out he is, remember, when one door closes, another one opens. chin up, good luck!!

Because men can survive in this world much easier than women. A man's body is better equiped for defence/violence. It's even easier for men to find a quality job as necessary. Lastly, women are often left with children. Making life that much more difficult.
