Validation for men and women

I ran across this site this morning and found myself cringing just a bit... I have learned something about myself in the last two years. I learned that I have lived my life, prior to 2005, looking for validation just as described here for women. That's just one of the things I learned about myself, it's a trait that I don't find healthy for anyone at all, women or men. Validation should come from within, THAT is what I have been learning to do in the last two years.

Question here is:
Do you agree with these comments?

Men

A man wants something from a woman to reassure him that he is an all right guy, that he is an okay person, and that he is worth something. In short, what a man really wants is acceptance. He wants this validation from a HOT woman, or what is known as a woman in demand. Not a just any "plain Jane".

Women

Women want to feel wanted by a man
In a woman's' case she wants to know that men still desire her and that she is sexy. Women crave this kind of attention. But she wants this attention only from what she sees as a "real man" and not an everyday-boring guy.
But most men and women never seem to feel validated for very long and the cycle repeats itself in an endless search. I believe that when men and women cheat they are often seeking the validation denied them by their partners.
