I know I am. I can't talk for other women though.

Sometimes. There are no yes and no answers to this. Women today are certainly more independent that our mothers and grandmothers. Without the financial imperative of having a man to rely on to survive many women are choosing not to have a permanent man in their lives. If they feel happier that way then that’s okay, however most women who are heterosexual will still want or even feel the need for a male partner. If we don’t have children our species won’t survive, so that instinct of the sexual urge will always drive us to seek a mate.

No single rule can apply to all women.I would rather be alone than suffer in the company of a man who is selfish & difficult.I am very easy - going myself & would like stay away from difficult, & controlling individuals.

I cannot say about women in general,but I would rather be alone than with someone who is difficult & selfish.

I believe life is only enriched by the people in our lives.
If I buy a new car ,it gives me more pleasure when a loved one is sitting in it with me.A beautiful place gives me a feeling of sadness if I cannot share the experience with a loved one.The joy that I derive from its beauty is dampened by the fact that I am alone.

Yes..probably..but not for all woman..the imbalance endured may well be cancelled out by other factors.
