Do men really like women?

Appreciate your honesty as you should mine. You sound like an incel and it is good that you are open about it. Women should know how your views which you share with many others. Enjoy your lonliness.

Mans greatest fear is women shall at long last suddenly grasp they should all be Lilith rather than Eve

Before I answer, I want to make space for the complexity underneath the question. Not all women are the same, not all men are the same, and not every experience of intimacy or identity fits neatly into categories.
When we ask a question like “Do men like women?” we risk reducing something very nuanced to a simple generalization that can’t possibly hold the full truth.

So, the question I’m actually answering is this: Are there men who genuinely like women as we are? Not as symbols, not as a source of comfort or utility, but as full and complex people?

In my experience, the answer is yes.

These men don’t interpret boundaries as hostility, and they don’t treat women’s autonomy as a threat to their masculinity. They don’t fall apart when things aren’t easy or when women don't immediately agree with them. They’re capable of wanting a woman without needing to shrink her first, and they’re not unsettled by depth, intelligence or emotional intensity.

What I’ve noticed about these men is that they often go unnoticed. They're not usually the loudest person in the room. You won’t find them trying to draw attention to themselves or dominate a conversation just to be heard. They tend to observe more than they speak at first. They’re also not looking for someone to shrink herself to be easy to hold. What pulls them in is a woman who has stopped reaching for approval, who is solid in her own life and not asking to be rescued from it. They’re not perfect, but they're looking for something real, and they notice the women who aren't contorting themselves to be easy to want.

Ask Women "Do Women need Men?" The answer will be most likely be "No"
Ask Men "Do Men need Women?" The answer will be most likely be "Yes"

Assume this is true, who do you think likes the other sex less?

Need is not equivalent to like. A man may need what women provide for him, but that doesn’t mean he actually likes women.
For centuries women needed men for survival. That doesn’t mean they liked those men.

Ten pages to make your eyes bleed.

Worldwide and down the centuries, millions of women have loved millions of men.

And millions of men have loved millions of women.

The only thing that has changed is that we can now pick the subject to death, online.

To no perceivable end.....

I agree. Men and women traditionally have roles in relationships but it doesn’t mean that either like the other.

You think a Men need what a women can provide? Do you think Women don't need Men anymore to survive? I say NO to both questions and you have to do the same if you put away your ego and look at this from a birds eye. I like women, not because of their utility because of biology. It is hard coded in my DNA to protect and admire them. But i don't like self righteous people, who only deflect and distract.

Isn't the statement itself just a vast generalisation? How many times does someone say something so generic and it has any sense of truth to it? Cause at least in my experience, not often.

Personally I have lots of female friends, who I enjoy (non sexually), and respect them as people. Can I say this for all women, no. Can I say this for all men, no.

By comparison, if a question was asked of women based on another stereotype... Do women think all men make worse parents than women. I'm sure people would agree that just because you are born a women, it doesn't necessarily make you any better at parenting or raising a child, and in some cases certain people of either gender are simply not well suited to caring for children.

You’re the one that brought up “need” and stated that most men would say they need women. So need women for what exactly?
And no I don’t think women need men anymore for survival. Plenty of single women and lesbians surviving just fine. Men are actually our biggest predators.
I don’t’ like men who can’t have a discussion or disagreement without calling names so I guess we’re even. 🤷‍♀️
