Do men crave closeness and intimacy just as much as women?
Anonymous
As much as anyone would like to disagree, I think that we all have a desire for a deep emotional connection with another human regardless of gender! I don't get why some people say men dont want these things, its not true. Men want to be close to a woman just as much as women want to be close to a man. Its not always just about 'getting off'.

What Girls & Guys Said
23 118Men want to 'have' a woman. Why should I desire to be close to a woman? I speak for myself here, and for me, that's just not true.
Sure, it's nice to be intimate with a woman, but as far as I can see, I really don't care about it as much as an average woman.
I definitely do crave intimacy and closeness. :)
Honesty I don't know many women who want that. Mostly guys from my town. So if anything guys are more likely to want intimacy than women as many women just want fuck boys nowadays.
Men enjoy it and want it as much as women do but men face faar more risk than women do and men have a very realistic fear of being that close to a woman.
The reason for this fear is because Feminism has used men's desire to love and protect women, even at their own expense, as a weapon against men.
you're so right. I hate that its feared and what society has conditioned men to believe. Dont even get me started on modern feminisim.
yeah it's very unfortunate, so many millions of people do and will suffer because of it.
Timing... one of the worst things people fight every day. Even if things are ment to be timing is essential. Do guys want closeNess yes but how men and women define it can be diffrent and when they need it can differ as well. Let alone finding the perfect partner only to learn they just got out of a long term relationship. These things are very difficult to set up so when it does work out we should be happy. So yes men crave closeness but maybe not the same way.
I would say under some specific circumstances.
You cannot affirm in a way as every single men there is out there due to the mere fact that it's completely subjective to a context and opinions are arbitrary. By the same way that you cannot say that all women crave intimacy and closeness.
However, a man does crave for intimacy if there's a certain aspect on her that stands out and rises attraction towards her.
If that aspect is there, I would say yes.
But men like me aren't susceptible to those vulnerabilities.
Yes they do
You nailed it, it is true
No they crave encouragement they crave respect and loyalty we March through he'll for that type of woman.
We crave that more then you do, . That is why we are better at hiding! Killing!. . Digging a grave!.. Putting those feelings in coffin and dump it in the grave!.. And bury them deep and stand on it and say!. .
I AM A MAN!. . .
I agree with you on that. One great example is that I've never had the desire to leave or ask a girl to leave after sex. Much better to spend the night together and sleeping with her after sex has nothing to do with getting off. That's about being close to her.
Yes. My husbands needs it as much as I do.
Closeness, maybe, intimacy, again maybe. Depends on the person.
Yeah, some do, it's just scary :- )
sure a gay man
I agree completely it's in human nature.
Yes i crave a closeness and intimacy with a woman.
No. This is evidenced by the MGTOW movement.
MGTOW is a very vague movement with few rules, you can be gay, demand intimacy, and be MGTOW
MGTOW is agreed by most "members" to mean: A man who will never marry, at least until the laws change regarding marriage. And many reject relationships altogether.
That is true, but it doesn't remove the wish for, or craving for intimacy. If we died from having sex once we would still in most cases crave it, but we would be a lot more picky.
That's true. I should have been more specific, my bad. MGTOW itself doesn't make men stop craving intimacy however many MGTOW men chose to remain single and have no intimacy.
True, they can still crave it though, in a poor example, like a recovering alcoholic.
True. And I think that's the perfect analogy lol.
Nothing better than spending Saturday morning in bed with your girl. So yes.
I really do want it someday but I'm not ready to be in a relationship.
