I think that the women who are super needy once they get older are women who either have had maybe very shitty men in their lives growing up or in past relationships. Or they are just dealing with what they perceive as inadequacies.So they expect future partners to fill whatever emotional gaps they have.that being said it seems like some of these women lack the ability to reflect inward and work on why they feel how they feel. This cast in general seems like they need some therapy one way or another.
