Are young women more "needy" now than in previous generations? When I read the majority of these relationship questions, I get the impression that young women today have terrible self-esteem issues. What do you think?

i think women who watch too much TV and movies are more needy and less connected to reality and common sense about their choices.

Women these days do have self-esteem issues but in my experience young men these days are just as needy!! I have had nothing but trouble with guys I have dated. They all need you to be there constantly and take care of them, and if you want to go out and be yourself, they throw a hissy fit. My life has been the exact opposite of TV couples. I am always the one wanting to go out drinking etc., and he is always the one bitching about stupid crap!

Gender roles have changed, and with them went the easy format of male-female relationships. Maybe they learned from there parents who have got a divorice. Maybe it seems they don't respect relationships because they have been taught that relationships develop from flirtation, to subservience, through a long and tiring mid-life balancing children and a career, then, ultimately, to divorce. Just think about what young both boys and girls are subjected to today.....they don't see the same morals in everyday live that was practice in the past.

It certainly appears that today's young people in general are clueless about many things of the real world that generations before them had to learn to sink or swim.

I think people are all needy, it is just more allowable for a woman to show her needs than in the past.

Young women need only one thing! That's men, to make them complete! If you think otherwise, then you are a woman that likes women!

Far too many of today's young women were raised without benefit of a dad. When this happens, young girls often look for substitutes. This is sometimes called "needy."

I don't think they're "needy"...they just expect a lot more things. Just take a look at the kids, with all this technology that makes their life much easier...we didn't have that before...so the expectations are definitely higher - and their image goes along with all those things, we value things more than personalities or small gestures...sad, but true.
