Are we talking about romantic love here? If so, I don't agree. Every woman is different though. For example, a female relative of mine has always been in a relationship ever since she could date. After the death of her husband, she jumped into another relationship fairly quickly. She feels like she needs the security that only a man can bring her. But I have female friends who have never dated (fast approaching their 40s) and although they yearned for love, they've been surviving just fine.
