Additionally, a mans problem tends to be more mechanical, physical or otherwise something that can be mended through action.

A woman on the other hand tends to turn every problem, large or small into a full blown crisis.

Apologies in advance if your post was meant tongue-in-cheek, Goldenrivet. If not, am I the only one to find the above slightly patronising, and definitely ill-informed?

Certainly the above description does not apply to most women I know. I have worked in a female-majority industry for many years, and I assure you that most women are more than capable of making effective decisions. In fact, their ability to analyse every aspect of the problem is a strength. I agree that men like to be decisive. What that often means in reality is that they make a quick choice without considering the wider issues and simply get on with it (I include myself in this, by the way!). Only later is the weakness of this black-and-white decision revealed when the subtle complexities of the actual situation is revealed.

Often the women then have to sort it all out, whilst if the man had listened to their advice in the first place the subsequent problems would not even have arisen...Trust me - I have been THAT man...
