Is it true that women need men more than men need women?

Does the answer to that really matter? Who cares? That's us vs. them thinking. It's true that men and women need each other more than either gender needs to be alone.

I'm on mobile, so let me know if you want citations and I'll add them when I get to a computer :)

-Married men live longer than single or separated men, but married women don't live longer than single women.

-Following separation, men tend to remarry more quickly than women, and are more likely to remarry in general.

-Men tend to "fall in love" faster than women, and tend to be more emotionally affected by breakups.

These statistics imply that men "need" women more than women "need" men. However, this is kind of a silly question, because what difference will it really make for us on a day-to-day level? Also, remember that for men, their partner is often their main source of deep, emotional support. So losing (or never having) that can be very hard for a man. Women, on the other hand, turn more to each other for emotional support, and so they have friends to turn to when they lose the emotional support of a partner.

I've seen that claim on TRP, but it's not supported by what data there is. I've mainly seen stats from UK and Australian news sources, but from what I've read, single older women tend to be happier than single older men. I think single older men are also at a higher risk of suicide than women.

Not at all. Guess it depends on the person though.

There are reasons for why men need women and why women need men. People won't say no to an extra pair of hands.

For instance, men live longer, if they get along with a wife. And women with husbands got more money/work from him.

I think it's an individual thing and depends on how you define need

We need each other in equal, but different ways. I even know some people, both men and women, who are just happy alone. I think it's pure arrogance when one claims the other needs them more.
