OP, for some reason most of our society thinks that all women need to have a relationship or marriage to “complete” their lives.

With your attitude, I don’t see this applying. Why not pursue your educational and career dreams, land that internship leading to a job that involves responsibilities and traveling, experience all the world has to offer, including encounters with men from all over, and enjoy an exciting life on your own terms.

If along the way, you should connect with one of these men enough to consider a relationship (and you likely will at some point), then let it happen naturally. It seems frustrating and counterproductive to be planning what point in your life you should add a man to it when that clearly is not your own priority.

Let go of what others are saying you should do by a certain age, and enjoy making the most of your talents, your freedom, and what the world has to offer someone with your own priorities.

...Contribute to a woman's life?

[I'm only posting this because I'm sick and can't sleep because I can't breathe. This question has been bothering me since I heard it. So I decided to ask it here while I wait for my lungs to stop burning.]

For a couple of days, I've been watching relationship advice YT videos (mostly to laugh, because I find their ideas of masculinity and femininity as a binary extremely funny; one vid even had the audacity to say women had no right to be in the workplace). On one of them, the vlogger told her viewers to make a list of the things that "only a man can add to your life."

I usually laugh off their advice, but I pondered this question for a bit. And found myself completely unable to answer.

Outside, of course, physical stimulation, what is a man supposed to give me that I can't get from either myself or another outlet? With great clarity and conviction, I found myself thinking, "No. I don't need a man."

So...I'm curious. Ladies, what is it that only a man can contribute to your self? Other than sex.

[Lungs still burning. It's time for my second shot of Nyquil chased with a Riccola.]
Its something that is almost useless to try to figure out when one is not "in love" and is completely clear when you are.
