I came across this statement..."A woman wants one male to satisfy her every needs, whereby a guy wants every woman to satisfy his one need" If that's the case, what is the difference between needs and wants? What are your needs and wants then?

In the language of businesspeople needs & wants are different. Let me give you an example: You are thirsty & you need something to drink. So it is up to you what you will drink. Suppose you want to drink coke. So now see that you need something to drink & you want a coke. That's the difference between need & want. I hope i made you understand.lol

That makes so much sense! Thats such a great way of looking at needs and wants. Great example. That really helped me understand what the difference between the two is.

In summary, you mean to say need have a higher importance and priority than wants?

Needs & wants are different. Need may be anything but wants are specific. If you ask me i will say wants have a higher priority then needs since it comes from within you.

If both men and women "want" the opposite gender to satisfy their "needs" then doesnt that mean that men and women NEED the opposite gender to satisfy their NEEDS because they cant satisfy their own needs, otherwise they wouldnt "WANT" someone to satisfy them? Thats what I think!

therefore, your point is...?? from your statement, the definition and context of it is being changed.
