I wonder if the monster wanted a female to love or a female to subdue his sexual desires; even though Mary Shelley never mentioned anything about the monsters sexuality.
The Monster says that he is "...shunned and hated by all mankind..." including his creator. He cannot be accepted, therefore cannot be happy; unless, of course, Victor creates a companion for him, with whom he would live "...harmless and free from the misery I now feel." The Monster needs a being like himself to peacefully and contentedly live in a human's world. If Victor refuses-which he does-the Monster will be extremely unhappy and destroy all Victor holds dear.
First of all, the monster could easily make Victor’s life miserable- like the monster says he will if Victor refuses to make the him a mate- so Victor should be frightened of the creature (the monster could definitely take him).

Any human has a basic desire for love and affection; because the monster is exiled and shown nothing but hatred from all mankind, it is only natural that he should want (and should have!) a mate.

He says that "...when I became fully convinced that I was in reality the monster that I am, I was filled with the bitterest sensations of despondence and mortification. Alas! I did not yet entirely know the fatal effects of this miserable deformity." When he requests his mate, he believes that "...man will not associate with me; but one as deformed and horrible as myself would not deny herself to me." Therefore, by the creation of a mate for the monster, Victor would save the public from any more havoc wreaked by the monster; and the monster would have the life that he is just as deserving of as any normal
