    Wanted.

    Need implies "I can't live without you" and, I'm sorry, that's not healthy.

    Want means "I can live without you, but my life is better with you in it."


    Wow. That almost sounded romantic. Someone should probably smack me. I am *not* a romantic person.

    hahaha "smack" that better now? :smile:
    Yes, thank you. Getting smacked by a random woman on the forums is totally hot, even if I *am* straight. :)

    Desired, wanted, cherished, loved, yeah I want it all. The Trophy Wife in me.

    That's what I want too, only I'm not so much the Trophy Wife.

    well I need air to breath and I feel like if I lost my husband I would lose my air....I think after a while they merge....I don't "need" him to take care of me, pay my bills, make me feel good...but even after 14 years...I see him and "need" to touch him...it is almost something I can't control. so I want chocolate but can resist it but there are many times I need to touch, hold or just hear from my husband and I can't resist....:blushing:

    I think I'm both too, I was and am wanted for sure, but now that we've been married 16 years there is definitely a need factor going on (boths sides, me to him and him to me and of course the kids...lol)

    If I just had to choose one... I think I would want to say wanted.. but something about being needed because only your can do something or your just really good at it feels good too.

    Wanted is better, because it comes with free will.

    Fundamentally I think men like to be needed .

    Woman need to be wanted.

    For me i think it's a little of both. I want the woman I love. So because of that want, I now need her. It's nice to be wanted, but I also thrive on being needed. I think it's the want that creates the need.
    By needing me I mean, I want to be the guy she can call and say “my car broke down will you come pick me up?" or " I need your help." “ I’m scared”…ect.
    So..yeah while is great to be wanted..in the long run I’d rather be needed. For this simple fact ..If they never felt that they needed us (men )… they would be with their girlfriends. They are less hairy, can share most clothing, know more about their bodies and don’t leave the seat up. They just put up with our sht because they need us.The fact that they want us every now and again is a bonus.
    after reading that back… my brain hurts.. good luck with that. Made sense when I typed it

    Neither.
    It's too much pressure to be wanted or needed. I'm part of a partnership and I am loved and respected. My husband cannot want me because I am not an object to him. He could need me sometimes but thats not the kind of man I find attractive.

    Being needed is exhausting. Being wanted is a choice and it means both people put effort into the relationship.

    Wanted. When a woman "needs" me it screams unhealthy relationship/head case.

    Back to the topic...

    I quote the philosopher Robin Zander (Cheap Trick)...I Want You to Want Me

    Now the song is in my head and I have to youtube it!! Thanks. :)

    Another vote for wanted.

    Next line is "I need you to need me"... What gives??? lol

    I want to be wanted....

    I just left a relationship where being "needed" turned into having me hold everything, do everything and make sure the world kept spinning on its axis. I can't do that anymore, I got nothin left.

    so no, I don't ever want to be needed again.

    but wanted...yeah I'll take that.
