at the end of the day, men cannot live without us.
Men rule the world, but we rule men .
We are the key behind men's destiny.

Paraphrase my statement to get a better understanding.

Sarassin:
The Book of Enoch speaks about the angels called "Watchers" appointed to protect human kind. It speaks about a group of Angels led by Azazel and Semjaza. They were called “The watchers”, because they were tasked with watching over humankind and naturally as they watched over the world, the inevitable happened - they fell in love.

Myriad of them fell in love with different human women and abandoned heaven so they could live with them. Later, they had children with them. The angels who abandoned heaven are called "Anakim Nephlim" and their children are called "Nephilim". Interestingly, Assyrian myths also refer to beings who descended from heaven and call them "Anunaki".

Since these stories come from neighboring parts of the world and roughly from the same era, it is frequently presumed that both Assyrians and the old Hebrews are referring to the same event and beings, whoever they actually were.
It is also historic fact that in those days people used to name their children after important or unusual event. "Jared" (name of Enoch's son) in Hebrew means "descended".

Here is what the Bible and the Book of Enoch say about the Nephilim:

Genesis 6,1 :

1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

Book of Enoch 7:1 virtually the same:

1 It happened after the sons of men had multiplied in those days,that daughters were born to them, elegant and beautiful.
2 And when the angels, the sons of heaven, beheld them, they became enamoured of them, saying to each other, Come, let us select for ourselves wives from the progeny of men, and let us beget children.

Being so similar, it does beg the question why the Book of Enoch was denied status in the Christian Bible while Genesis is an unquestionable part of it.

Matters become clearer when one realizes that the Book of Enoch speaks about 200 angels who decided to leave heaven for no other reason than the Love of earthly Women. Fancy that ! Heaven emptied out by sheer lust ! Bible compilers could not bring themselves to countenance this and therefore consigned the Book of Enoch to the nether regions of Apocrypha.

Happy Valentines day.
