Cinderella Complex

I think there is a natural, instinctual need in all people, male or female, from when they are a child on to be cared for and taken care of. Throughout your entire childhood, parents provide this for you. You are given the emotional, material, and physical comfort and support necessary to grow and prosper. Once childhood has ended and a person moves on this support structure is gone. For men, they are told the longing or want to again be taken care of is a weakness and that no one will ever take care of them, they instead they must be the ones to provide it to others. For women, the hope of being take care of is not lost, but the kernel of possibility that someday a man, who has been trained to take care of her, will come in and do so.
