Regardless of engineering background or not, I do believe this is a major different between men and women in general.
I know I'm guilty of the same thing and I'm positive many others here have had very similar experiences.
IN GENERAL, it seems when guys talk to someone else, they are likely looking for input into a situation. If we didn't want input, we would just sit and ruminate in our own personal thoughts processes.
Your story is also a great lesson in why communication is key - unfortunately it takes both parties to realize this!
- vacuity 1y agoI think you're right that men and women (tend to) have different responses to someone venting to them, and different tendencies in when and who to vent to, but I think both (tend to) prefer the listening approach when they are venting. It's kind of like writing in that the benefit is in being open and being able to reflect on that openness. In addition to openness, just having someone to vent to brings the comfort of human connection.
