I don't think so.

oloyede252:
some people cant just do without insulting mr toks. really bad...can women do without men? this question for me can be viewed from two perspectives.
1.personal theory
2.general theory

1.personal theory .this theory states that men and women can do without each other based on their orientation.to some women the question can be either yes or no depending on the sexual and general orientation of the said individual. most lesbians or women who generally hates men would actually say they dont need or want men but that just based on the personal perspective and others who are straight would say yes because they need men to fulfil an emotional and sexual vacuum in their lives

2.general thoery..this theory states that men and women cant do without each other. a mans existence is a directly propotional to the function of a woman..therefore a man needs a woman for so many reasons .any woman that opined that she doesnt need a man in this theory is suffering from acute delusion.

note..imagine a world without men...the world wouldnt have reached civilisation and probably a very boring world

Is the op already suffering from midlife crisis?

He was sitting down when Saraki walked in, so he was about to stand up to greet the dude. it was just that the pic was taken at the wrong moment. The Pink knows better than to bow to anyone.

We are all interdependent as human beings. On a macro level, we all depend on the skills and contributions of each other for the perpetuation of the human race, economic productivity, etc. Women need women; women need men; men need women as well as their fellow men. A race made up of only women or only men, will not survive for too long.

But if you're asking if a woman can live a happy and fulfilled life (achieve self-actualization) without ever sharing it with a male mate (by marriage or domestic partnership), then yes: some women can absolutely do without a man. Homosexuals who never want children........Like Ellen & Portia; asexuals; and misandrists who conscientiously exclude men from their personal lives.

Benita27:
To be frank with you, it's not a 'Yes' or 'No' question. There are women who could do without men while there are those whose lives are centred around men. Same is applicable to men, it's like asking if all Nigerians eat "Eba?" of course a majority do, but it doesn't mean all Nigerians eat Eba.

FortuneTeller:
Of course there will. As long as there is sex and sperm banks, there will be children. The more a country industrializes, the less people get married. Marriage doesn't offer much benefit to women unless there it adds a financial need. Otherwise there really isn't a reason for men. Let's go back to when women lived in their own homes and the man just visited each "hut". It's the way of Iceland now and they are very happy there.

Benita27:
The op asked a valid question, unlike those saying there's no sense in the thread.

"Can a woman do without a man?". Yes, but it's relative...One man's food is another's poison. There are women who don't want to have any emotional commitment with men, so all they need a man's help for is when services are rendered and payments are made for such services, else nothing bind them in anyway. Such women would rather adopt kids if need be or get men paid to impregnate them 'cause they don't want the drama of having a man in one's life. There are women living the life that best suit them while there are those who can't do without men.

Btw, I was more comfortable reading comments.

ENIMONEY:
this frustrated, perpetually single bald headed grandpa won't ever let the female folks rest.. people cannot leave without people in the sense you are putting it dummy. But women have since learnt to have a life, family, love life and even children without having to get emotionally attached to men. So dirty grandpa go s**k a d**k.

Toks you know I've told you before that your own don do. Go and retire and make good use of the advice and threads you've given nairaland over the years. It's not by force.

Piiko:
It swings both ways, we complement each other as partners and friends, its a symbiotic relationship

FortuneTeller:
Plenty of women are doing it. Don't even talk of the US or UK. Just look at Iceland. Women enjoy themselves and don't worry about marriage. Hiring a man to do a job in my home does not mean I need him. I am paying him for a service. Men are no longer needed, they are just enjoyed.

Here are photos of 37-year-old Victor Dashit, who was arrested by the Plateau State Police Command after he strangled his eight months pregnant wife, Irene, on their farm in Jos, Plateau state on June 2nd, after she confronted him for impregnating their maid.

According to Family sources, the accused who is a staff of the National Industrial Court, Jos and his 33 year old wife who is a teacher, have been having issues after she found out he was having sex with their maid, Nora

All my life, from primary school till present I've been the centre of attention.

In school - coordinated tutorials and held political positions

In church - was a secretary who people asked to show the way.

In my work place - cordinated events. And so on.

I've always drawn the most traffic which gives me life. But i noticed here that the situation is different. I don't get attention all the time like toks2008, singledad (newcomer), lefulefu (my buddy) and others. It makes me feel worthless.

People like:
Bibijay123 - always appreciated when she drops something in literature session.
Tosyne2much - always appreciated in romance room
Fynestboi - in education session
Tonyebarcanista - in politics
purityval - sexuality etc

Imagine i drop a thread 'life hurts' and no single person commented.

I'm yet to get over the shock. Can't i share the throne with the above legends?

If you ascribe midlife crisis to any other phenomenon, then it is merely an allusion not it's definition. You're learning the art of writing rather late and as a result you're stiff-necked and inflexible.

Oga done dey get emotional

Your title was " The Mid-life crisis" which is a universal word describing people in their 40s and beyond.

Then you went on to say a girl in her 20s is already experiencing Mid-life crisis in romantic life!

Your penmanship is organically crappy and your power for metaphors and allusion is inferior to a senior secondary school student.

Two words for you: boldness and ignorance; you have them in abundance!

Halfpenny:
I kind of understood where op is going with this although he just abused a recognised term and completely flipped it on it's head.

Let say you used the term creatively and gave it a new definition in the context of "romance life cycle"

So I agree with the time span for women, we tend to wild out in our early twenties and start to calm down in our thirties. That by the way is just natural stages of maturing so it's not some new phenomenon.

I disagree with the male time span though, normally it's recognised that men go through this stage of maturing (midlife crisis) between the ages of 18 to 30 so men are advised not to settle down before thirty and to have fun.

Your window of 30 to 50 is just excusing adults who are irresponsible and unable to mature at a natural rate! If we went by your math then we might as well avoid men when they are in their prime (between the ages of 30 and 50)

In conclusion op hasn't said anything new he just spoke jargon to condone men's Bleep up. Typical of him.

Fearlez:
Hilarious! Life expectancy varies from country to country and even if goes down to 60 years, a 30 year old man doesn't have symptoms of mid life crisis in testosterone depletion, neither does a woman of 20 start having menopause.

You just admitted you didn't know midlife is in the dictionary, and that's why you're abusing its usage and application here.
