Men And Women / Women And Men
Here's a provocative question for you: Who needs the opposite sex more? Males or Females?
For centuries, it's been believed that the single women were the ones that were most lost. They were often called "old maids" or "left on the shelf" or worse.
They were often thought to be the most poorly adjusted and miserable people in the society and hence, they were subjected to much painful ridicule.
Actually, research shows that it's the single man who's often out of order. Though there are numerous exceptions - and let's make that clear at the beginning - an unmarried young man is far more likely than a single woman to be an alcoholic, a drug user, or a convicted criminal.
Landlords are reluctant to rent an apartment to him. Banks prefer not to loan him money and he pays a huge premium for car insurance. He's often hot tempered and impulsive, and he typically earns less money - it's true - than a single woman, and is more likely to move aimlessly from job to job.
But when a man marries and commits himself to a wife and children, most of these social liabilities disappear. He has a reason to live responsibly, to work hard, and to save for the future.
Instead of pandering to his own sensual desires, he postpones gratification and he sacrifices for those who depend on him.
What a woman does for a man, then, is to harness his sexual energy and to focus it on protecting and providing for a family, and that's why he needs her even more than she needs him.
