Do men crave closeness and intimacy just as much as women?

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'.

  • I miss it sometimes. But i love my freedom.

  • Yes, I do so very much!

  • Yea of course we want closeness and intimacy too.. sex isn't the only thing we want Lol

  • Yes I completely agree with you. I only really feel attracted to people I have an emotional bond with.

  • Yeah they are guys out there who do want it. Me personally I could live without it as its at the bottom of my list of priorities. Its sex that I can't live or do without, men need sex.

  • Only if it comes with sex

  • Not me , not anymore anyway. I'm a FT working single dad , a situation which will permanently bar me from any intimate relationship , but had accepted this long ago & I enjoy being single & cannot imagine ever being in a relationship again , even after my children have grown up , but I'm a " detached " type of person.

    I think women have their emotional & " closeness " needs met by other women , female friends are much closer than male friends & are quite tactile with each other , plus female sexual desire is much lower than her male equivalent on average , this is the age of " I don't need no man " . The advantage men have is that we are generally less social & communicative than women & need much more alone time.

  • yes they do

  • well of course we do

  • yes totally

  • Yes. I do at least.

  • absolutely, i think men like it in the form of sex a bit more but we love cuddling, hugging and kissing lot. its nice to be close and intimate with a woman u like.

  • huh? nobody can crave intamacy more than me. thats impossible

  • I do, anyway.
    When I think of my crush, sex is never involved (literally never).

  • men are more afraid of it than women actually

  • BINGO!

  • I know I do

  • Yeah we do anything else is just wasted time to me. I'm not about fooling around with a bunch of chicks only one.
