8 Ways You Know He’s TOO Needy

November 1st, 2011 - By Julia Austin

"Man begging woman to stay"

Most relationship articles are geared towards getting more out of your man. Getting him to ask you more about your life—your family, your work, your day. Getting him to talk to you about his feelings. Getting him to be more generous in bed. You know all the signs that tell that a man still needs to learn to open up—to learn how to fuse his life with somebody else’s. But sometimes, the problem is of the opposite nature. Some guys only know how to fuse their life with somebody else’s. Some men need a woman in their life every second.  Maybe that sounds sort of nice. Sort of. But honestly…you’ll be seeking just as much advice on how to un-cling this guy from your arm, as you were on how to get more attention from the guy who barely scheduled you into his day. Here’s how you know if you’ve bagged (or been bagged by) a needy one.

    What are signs of a writer who likes self centered thugs who will dog her out and treat her like a tramp because that’s all she’s used to? Just read this article chile…

  • JD Mac

    Thanks to that sentence this article has truly killed my hope in our societies moral values…

    • Mia

      Exactly! What a greasy tramp.

  • Max

    Parts of this article are definitely true, but at the same time i find it kind of funny since alot of my female friends complain about guys not being sensitive enough and then they still complain when they are.

    Well I wish this had been published a year earlier…..

    LOL ok so let me get this straight, looking someone in the eyes is too intimate when you’re …. having sex? Haha ok… if I know them well enough to share my body, I should know them well enough to look them in the eyes while we have sex.

    My ex-boyfriend did about 60% of those things in the beginning of our relationship…needless to say, I ended up dumping him. I think that he only said and did all of those things just to “lock me down” in the beginning, because towards the end of our relationship he stopped caring altogether.

    Aren’t most of these things that women do more than men?

  • David Gibler

    Typical; Women still don’t know what they want and men don’t know what to do. And you wonder why there aren’t any good men out there? We’ve quit trying.

    Funny – this article is about pretty much every woman I’ve ever dated. I’m not saying it’s not frowned upon when women are too clingy, but when a man does it he’s dismissed almost immediately. I’m happy to have been raised in a culture that still has higher standards for men to follow than it has for women, but if someone doesn’t feel comfortable filling a particular set of shoes, well then in my opinion, he shouldn’t have to. This type of scrutiny is best directed at oneself.

    my favorite is #8–as if some dude who suggests you go to a weekly happy hour sometime is actually secretly plotting your marriage. this list is a mess!

    rushing a relationship is rushing a bond that should grow slowly. neediness can also turn to possessiveness, jealousy, a need for control, aggression and violent tendencies. sometimes too much of something CAN be a bad thing. clearly, that might not be all needy men, but that will be my last needy man.

    All of these things are fine but there is definitely a point when they really can be too much. If you don't understand this than you have not been with a needy man. Good for you. I think the only people that will get this are those who have. We all think we want these things until you get someone that goes overboard. Its stifling. We all need a little space.
