So many people do this, both men and women, I think it's safe to call it "normal behavior". Sad, unhealthy, and super-risky... but normal.

I'll disagree just a bit. I think another person
can make you happy. But 1. that's a HUGE, unfair burden to put on somebody else, and 2. what happens if/when that person leaves?
I completely agree, though, that everybody
should find their own happiness. Once you have that base, having another person to share just makes it that much better!
As a man, especially, you want to be able to invite a woman to join your wonderful life, as opposed to relying on them to give your life meaning.
