That's how women should be like too. Not need men.

I went through the pubic US Social Security and Medicare numbers once. Men pay about $480billion per year in. Women pay about $277billion per year in. But males and females draw about the same amount out of the system per year. Thus about $65billion is transferred from men to women each year through this system. It is aided by the fact that men die sooner (not necessarily a biological necessity) and contribute more when they are alive

While the unexplained gender wage gap is small, unless I have made a mistake here somewhere there is actually a negative gender gap in benefits received per dollar paid in payroll taxes. Keeping in mind that the US system transfers payments directly from taxpayers to beneficiaries here are some recent numbers:
OASI and DI taxes paid in 2011 (the most recent year for which these stats have been released) 82.2 million men paid $408 billion, 76.4 million women paid 277 billion. Women pay $0.73 per dollar a man pays.

Now the benefits paid. There is no yearly summary, but you can see the monthly totals here:
http://www.ssa.gov/OACT/ProgData/icp.html
For Dec 2011, 18.2 million men received $25.0 billion and 24.1 million women received $25.1 billion. (In Dec 2013 it is $27.9/$27.8 billion.) So using Dec 2011 as an example, retired women receive $0.76 for every dollar a retired man receives. Three cents more than working women currently pay in, and they receive it longer because at age 65 they are expected to live about 2.1 years longer. Extrapolating from the Dec 2011 rates this 2.1 years amounts to an extra $26,000 per retired woman.
http://www.ssa.gov/oact/tr/2012/lr5a4.html
But don't worry /s, after being crippled on the job, men receive more disability money than women. 4.6 million men received $5.8 billion vs 4.2 million women receiving $4.2 billion in Dec 2013, for example. Women receive $0.79 per dollar a man receives.
The reasons women collect more retirement money per dollar are:
They collect basically all of the spousal ($1.4 Billion in Dec 2013), and widow(er) ($4.8 Billion in Dec 2013) benefits.
There are more of them, due to the fact that women born in 1941 in the US live on average 5.8 years longer than men.
Lest you think that the benefits gap per dollar paid per person is "only" $0.03 and insignificant, don't forget that we are not even counting the people who did not even make it to retirement. In 2011 about 6 million fewer men than women made it? Most of these people paid a lot of payroll taxes, never collected a dime, and were mostly men. It thus might make more sense to speak of an approximate "real" gender benefits gap as the extra amount working men pay vs. women, while retired men get the same amount of benefit dollars as retired women. $277 billion/$408 billion = $0.68 of benefits for "manhood" per dollar paid by "manhood".
EDIT: fixed lifespan numbers

This is why the thot audit is important

I am a teacher, and I have seen what it takes to keep kids happy. It's rather simple. I think the same can be same for men. I think keeping women happy is whole other ballgame that is out there. That is the reason why 70% of divorces are from the women initiating. Men don't know what the hell to do to keep a lot of woman nowadays happy. I know what keeps me happy. I like that simplicity in my life. It lowers the stress level. Statistics don't lie. I am a logical person. When I see all the unhappy marriages and divorces, I don't feel that I can be the outlier.

I think the problem why people cannot be happy with themselves stems from the fact that they have the goal of liking themselves. When you drop that goal entirely, life becomes much more simpler.
People will spend massive amounts of money to like themselves also make others like them, in order to gain social proof and status. Funny thing is, once you reach this goal, you don't feel satisfied, like you thought you would feel. I don't mean that you should hate yourself. But I think instead of trying too hard to love yourself, drop it and chill. You are missing the point and causing more stress on yourself and your life.
