According to Robert A. Johnson in "She: Understanding Feminine Psychology," men often rely on women to provide emotional and existential meaning in their lives. He suggests that many men struggle to find purpose on their own, leading them to seek validation and significance from their partners. This dependence makes their daily lives feel unfulfilled and barren without the nurturing influence of a woman.

When a man shares his day with a woman, he is essentially looking for her insight to enrich his experiences. Her responses can transform a monotonous day into something meaningful, and he is appreciative of this role she plays. Johnson highlights this light-bearing aspect of women, emphasizing how their words and perspectives can illuminate a man's life, creating a shared journey filled with deeper understanding.
