Question for the ladies: Can men can be clingy too?

hells yea. i had an ex that was always hanging off me. even my brother told him he was making me angry,it was pretty obvious.

my bf is too clingy... im a very independent girl.. i hate it when he wants to come to every event i join! last night my exbf as me if we could meet in a cafe and talk about our business. (we own a cafe and due to separation.. cafe im pulling out ownership in the cafe). he wants to come i told him, he should'nt and he gets mad! so at the end he come any way! hate it when he does these kinds of things!

LOL this is quite funny for me to admit but my first husband was very clingy and my husband now is fairly clingy too. I'm more chilled out all round but I will admit that my ex was the sort who was very needy and when we were out socially he would expect me to babysit him the whole time and wouldn't speak with anyone if we were out with my friends (he would only see his friends with me around and I just got along with everyone so that was no issue). He didn't like being left alone to his own devices and if he felt I was not giving him 100% attention he would insist it was time to go home... My husband now is a social butterfly (haha a bit like me) and easily gets along with everyone but I would still say he's clingy compared to myself. I'm not implying that I neglect him when we're with friends but he tends to generally be more needy of my affection and attention when we're out in public than I am... Does that make sense?

Clingy men and women are the worst to have relationships with. I prefer a relationship where you can sit on different furnature in the house and not feel negelected and/or aren't being told that you are ignoring the other person. I have had a boyfriend in the past who became clingy after a few months and that was it. I was done with it. In my current relationship we do our own thing, and have our own friends. We also live together so we see each other enough as it is. We do cuddle and kiss and all of that stuff but we understand that sometimes people need their space, so why create an argument in the first place and give the space to begin with.

Hence the reason I'm not with my exhusband anymore. That man was the worse, in my opinion. Not only did we live together, we also worked at a daycare for a few hours and then after that I'd have a few hours before HE came home from his other job. Then, we'd be at church for 24 hours during the week...I needed a break! I knew he was bad when he asked me to apply for work where he was just so we could be together more. Uuuhhhh...no. I like being alone, by myself. He took that as I didn't love him anymore. Well...he eventually was right. You try and drag me closer to you, I'll pull further away until I'm no longer in your life. So...yeah, men can be clingy. They have this need to still have their mommy with them and think their woman will fill that gap. Nu uh...mothers all over kicked their sons out for a reason! GROW UP! *lol* *Pleiades

Yes I have encountered a clingy man.That was during my college days he was my boyfriend and he was older than me that time I was 19 and he was like 28 or 29.He was sweet though although because of our age gap there are things that was a start of a certain discussion..He would fetch me at school because I have this night class till 9pm and my dormitory is just a block away but i was relieved by that at first but when times passed i feel a little so guarded that he wouldn't let me out if I wasn't able to tell him that i will go someplace...

Oh yes men can clingy and a clingy man drives me nuts. If they dont give me space to do things on my own or with friends WITHOUT them I cant stand them. My sister had a clingy boyfriend. if she wasnt at work he was always with her. She couldnt go out with just the girls without him calling our parents to check up on her. We were pretty darn happy when she finally dumped him.
