and when you show them you need them, they say you are needy.. so what do you guys means

I don't know about the part where they say you're being needy, but when I say I want to feel needed it means that I want to be her comfort. I want to be the one she wants to come to for refuge, not her parents or friends (that isn't to say I don't want her to go to them, just that I want to be her biggest/main source of peace). It also means that I want to do things for her & be asked by her to do things for her. That's off the top of my head.

Well my interpretation is when a man likes a woman who can hold her own but is somewhat trusting of him to handle business on his end. If you do everything important what will he have to do, he will feel left out. It doesnt mean for you to act needy, but he wants to feel appreciated...

 

I know I would.

When a man says he wants to be needed, he really is saying that he wants to be respected.

 

Respect for what he is, who he is, and what he can do.

 

It is all about ego. While women want men to be good listeners and not always give solutions, a man wants to feel that he is important and is able to fix the problems in her life. He wants to be the strong one who has all of teh answers. He wants to know that she thinks of him when she has a problem that needs fixing.

 

When a woman he dates does everything that he would like to do to show his love for her, he feels that he has no way of showing his love.

 

A man wants a woman to rely on him for some things, yet he wants her to also be independent.

 

It all comes down to respect...and as it is hard for a man to understand a woman and what she wants, so it can be in understanding a man.

Men simply enjoy an expression of appreciation now and then for the nice things they do....females like this also...we like the same identical things. Nowadays, expressions of gratitude and appreciation are very rare and people in general just expect things and take them for granted. Taking a partner for granted is absolutely the beginning and the end of a relationship!

 

The hard, cruel fact (and thankfully so) is that nobody NEEDS any particular person. If they did and that person was unavailable, with somebody else or whatever...that could be fatal. It's just very nice to have somebody special, not out of need but out of desire and it's great to be appreciated.
