Sorry, but women are dependent on men

I like to think we "choose" our partners not because we "need" them.

 

[hermanntrude]

some people, generally the more screwed up ones, actually seem to need someone. this is the type of person who goes around with a boyfriend/girlfriend that treats them like dirt rather than be alone. i'm sure you've met one

Me lady has a demon laugh. It's pretty funny.
But really scary in the dark when I can't see her.

Am I dependent on her ?

Yep.

Exactly, Bear. Not only can we be interderpendent, but we can be independent, as well.

Neaves article is funny, though. Mostly because generalizations about groups of people tend to be funny. I kinda thought he was drawing a caricature of humans.

Well - I don't know the guy but I think Dr. Neaves is whipped !

He has a fat case of transferrence and has autobiographically authored a "case study" of himself....he probably endures "hives" often when his "partner" is displeased with him for a myriad of reasons.

Yep I agree Curio, ukeright: ukeright: verbal vomit.

I think I've discovered the study group that Nick used for his thoughts:

"A mother helped plot the drowning deaths of her three children to preserve her relationship with the man who killed them, prosecutors said in closing arguments Wednesday in the woman's murder trial.
Prosecutor Roger Simpson said Amanda Hamm, 30, has low self-esteem and needed a man to "validate her existence."
Hamm faces life in prison if convicted of first-degree murder in the deaths of her children, Christopher Hamm, 6, Austin Brown, 3, and Kyleigh Hamm, 23 months. The children died after Hamm's car sank at a Clinton Lake boat ramp on September 2, 2003. - DECATUR, Illinois (more at link)
