For me i think that it is the nature that it was created for the live in the world. Man is the pair of woman and the woman is pair of man. So it is impossible for woman to leave without man, and it is impossible for man to leave without man. everything need to have pair. from me [email protected]

Hi Joan, I'm an asian woman.  I believe, because of the culture that asian women are being raised in that caused them to feel that they can't live without a man.  A man is a symbol of strength, the protector, someone that go and and work and bring home the money to take care of a family, and a woman is view in the asian culture as a weaker, softer gender...as in taking care of the family, the children, tending to household stuff.That's the culture asian are raised up in and holding on to.  A lot of that is true...then.  Now aday, most women enter the work force and take care of the family simultaneously, so the idea of a woman needing a man for that aspect has changed significantly.  It is no longer for security or protection, but rather...a partnership....a life long friend....someone who could understand and share every aspect of everyday life. Now, I have been living in the US for quite sometimes too, so the way I think and view about the roles of a man and woman in a relationship is quite different from the women who are still living in the asian countries. I hope this help.......=)

hmmm.. for me?? maybe its the way of life that man and woman are meant for each other... hehe
