Needs versus Wants?

Can you tell me what the difference is between needs and wants?
Especially the independent people..

They say men are complicated beings...They say women are simple uncomplicated beings...

Please explain list a few things for both.. They are quite different....
What are your needs?
What are your wants? from your perspective lover initially....

Do you make it really known on the first date?
When do you let them know what you want or need from each other?

True needs are food, shelter, electricity....In the context of relationships "needs" are things/qualities you decide you've got to have in a relationship to be happy and those "needs" can vary from person to person. "Wants" are desirable qualities/conditions you'd like to have in a relationship but aren't deal breakers. Problem is people think they need more than they do and they don't always realistic expecations - the chubby guy with pock marked skin who thinks he's got a shot at the Victoria secret model - the ordinary girl who got her sights set on a hunky millionaire. The less you need in life, the more you'll appreciate what you've been given.

Good answer.

To me, needs are necessities. Wants are extras that I'd like to have.

Food -
I need nutrition. Beans will do.
I want steak and lobster.

Shelter -
I need a roof over my head. Something that doesn't leak and is safe will be sufficient.
I want a 5000 sq foot house with a pool and a beautifully landscaped yard.

Relationship -
My need in a relationship is stability, loyalty and humor.
I want those things plus someone who is wealthy and has hollywood looks.

Fashion -
I need a new pair of black shoes.
I want Jimmy Choo's.

me too. Although my husband is handsome, very much so in my eyes, but looks don't do nothing for me if they aren't SOLID, or they deliver. They need to be passionate and intense about me (which is what my hubby is) so looks are nothing in comparison if they don't deliver.
