girls..Want a man,don`t need a man..difference?l
Posted : 21 Dec, 2010 07:26 PM

I notice some girls say "I want a man, don`t need a man."

What`s the difference?

Psalm 23... the Lord is my sheppard I shall not want.

Phillipians 4:19... My God shall supply all my needs (including a mate)

Archimedes,

I have shared this with you once before. You are intelligent, clever, humorous man. I find your sarcasm quite entertaining.

However, when you make the move from attacking the post to attacking the postee you cross the line. It is no longer entertaining or fun for anyone. It doesn't bother me but I know it bothers others. And quite frankly it makes you appear unattractive.

Now back to the post.....

Archimedes,

If your theroy is correct and God designed us to be independent from each other, then how do you explain the man having the sperm and the woman having the eggs?

�� in the Lord neither is woman independent of man, nor is man independent of woman. For as the woman originates from the man, so also the man has his birth through the woman; and all things originate form God.� (1 Corth. 11:12).

A new born child is TOTALLY DEPENDENT on its parents! It would die if not for its parents taking care of it. This is Dependency. The only way that a man is dependent on a woman or a woman dependent on a man is if they are Invalid or lazy and want someone else to take care of them.



Now�when they are �joined� in Matrimony they become One! Then�they are Interdependent on each other in the sense that they both �own� the other�s body and in other things such as having babies.



Yet�they are both Singular and Separate Beings! No one should �need� another person. Needing a �helping hand� is different. Needing someone to be at a certain place at a certain time is different. Needing to be held and comforted by someone at a certain time or moment is different.



We all �need� something or someone at times in our lives, but to declare that you �need� someone (gots to have them!)�is not a good thing. All we need is God. What we want is what God wants for us.



As for attacking posters? Show me where I have �attacked� anyone? If you are talking about my pointing out your inconsistencies and duplicities and outright lies�then yes�I�ve done that.

Archimedes,

The words in quotations are your words from your last post :

"but to declare that you �need� someone (gots to have them!) �is not a good thing. All we need is God."

I thought you said we all needed the Catholic church?

Just...

"pointing out....minconsistencies and duplicities."

Marikashome: for me, one way you could show me that you need me is to let me do things for you when I offer. I don�t know how many times I have been told, �No, that�s ok. I can get it myself.� When I offer help, it�s not because I don�t think that she can�t do it. It�s just nice to be able to share the load sometimes, or to do something for someone else. I�m tired of being alone, not because I want someone to entertain me, but because I am tired of life being only about me.



Most of us can do things on our own. It is just that things seem a lot easier when you work as a team. When you see a large load of work to do, it can be overwhelming, and that thought can slow you down. But, if you have someone working with you, it can feel a lot less overwhelming, and one tends to work faster. Having two people work together doesn�t make it twice as fast, most times you can do three to four times as much work.



As far as the issue of times being different now (more gas on the fire). I do think with modern times women feel that they don�t need to have a husband to get by in life. Since they don�t feel as much pressure to get married, they tend to hold out for the �perfect� guy, instead settling for a good man. They would rather be alone if they can�t get everything they want in a man. That leaves us �less desirable� types all alone. Yes, I am saying that women are getting away with being selfish and self-centered, and disguising it as �There just aren�t any good men out there.� There are plenty of good men and women, we are just letting the perfect get in the way of the good.

Cobbler-you're welcome to come and open a door for me or lend a hand by mowing my yard or shoveling my driveway any time you want. (that goes for pretty much anyone who would like to do those things) When someone does those things for me sometimes it embarrasses me at first because no one has done them for so long. However, I'm also thrilled and honored.

Times are different for men and women. There is also a lot of media promotion of "love at first sight" and that sort of thing. With the movies and books that promote the perfect figure or face or sultry romance, men are less likely to give women who don't fit that mold an opportunity either, no matter how wonderful they are. That's especially difficult for Christian women who may want to act and dress more modestly than what's often portrayed in pop culture.

@ cobbler .. "they tend to hold out for the �perfect� guy, instead settling for a good man."



i think the question is how we see ourselves in our own eyes..if we see ourselves as not good enough we as if emit signals - "i'm not good enough even in my own eyes" and it makes it difficult for the other to see and appreciate us (it's like an unclear wave on the radio).

i don't say that we have to imagine smth.; just have to learn how to see and relly love ourselves through God's eyes, God's love and perfect design for us.

Well...I do think that a lot of women now do think that even being on equal footing with a man is an insult. I can't really blame them too much, but that prejudice against the "bad abusive controlling" men, seems to carry over onto the "decent caring albeit not perfect" men too, if they should ever display even the tiniest similarity with "bad" men. There are even a lot of women out there that don't even really "want" a man. Sometimes it just seems that they want a body to plan their wedding/lives around because society expects it or something. Then they end up in a relationship with someone they aren't really happy with and they try to change them, which is a VERY egotistical thing to do. Women seem to be on the fast track to becoming like "men"(not the good ones either). Anyway....I'm sure there are all kinds of arguments about man's shortcomings to stir the pot up even more. Men have abused the power they are born with in every aspect of their loves, raping/murdering/abusing/stealing and just being generally selfish buttholes. So I think women have more ammo/reasons/evidence on their side for this argument, since they have been regulated to the back in every traditional sense. But I think the important part is that none of that is/was in God's plan for men/women, and just because one gender abuses their position and holds it over the others head, that doesn't give any of us the right to stray from what is right or where we are supposed to be. Both sexes were created to be equal and complementary. Society and tradition has perverted every aspect of that relationship and I think we need to be focusing on find the prejudices that have been built up inside ourselves, and also focus on finding a "helpmate" that is doing the same thing. I think God's plan is very basic. Each side of the relationship should be putting the other first and themselves last, which makes for a very pleasant relationship in my opinion. We have to find someone we love more than ourselves and be selfless toward them like Jesus was toward us. I even think that is one of the reasons behind marriage, to practice and witness about the relationship we're supposed to have with God. Doing things for each other, really loving each other more than ourselves, and really being self-sacrificing toward each other.

**lives



And just to clarify, when I compared the relationship I believe we're supposed to have between husband/wife to the relationship we're supposed to have between Jesus/us, I wasn't implying that one gender takes the role of "Jesus" and one takes the role of "us", I just meant that Jesus is self-sacrificing toward us and we are supposed to be self-sacrificing toward Him, like a husband/wife should be self-sacrificing toward each other.

Marikasahome, just from the few pictures you have posted it is easy to tell that you are a beautiful woman. If you have to dress provocatively to get a guy�s attention, he isn�t worth the time.



For me, if a woman dresses provocatively, sure it will draw my attention for a sec or two. But if you want to keep my attention, then dressing modestly is the way to go. I don�t need to see everything to know if a woman is beautiful or not.
