Men like to play the role of the big hero in relationship and so it can give their ego a nice boost when a woman plays the ‘damsel in distress’ role. However, this
is alright once in a while but a man will get quite annoyed with a woman if she is constantly needy and reliant on him. Although it is good to rely on a man to some degree, a woman still needs some degree of independence. A man will lose
respect for a woman who is too clingy and can’t do anything for herself. It can even become a bit creepy if a woman develops an obsession for the man and won’t let him out of her site. When she expects him to spend every free minute with her, he will feel smothered and need to escape. When
the relationship gets to this point, the man will
escape by breaking up with the woman.
