Are men more interested in things and women more interested in people?

I tend to agree. When we talk people, I believe we refer to their situation? Their being? ...... And men for the most part expect people to use their heads and correct their situation , if it 's bad. And be satisfied with their situation if it's good.

Where as 'things' are basically 'sound' or broken , and men feel if it ain't broke don't fix it.

Even though you're speaking of "things" I think that same "thought think" goes for relationships. Men can be perfectly happy and wonder why their other half isn't. We women can be very hard to understand from the perspective of men. In fact, we women can be very hard to understand in the perspective with ourselves.

Do men ever feel this same way about themselves, though?
 
I don't know if this is applicable here but when reading the question, this quote popped into my mind: It is speaking of conversation and is attributed to Eleanor Roosevelt but cannot be confirmed.

"Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, small minds discuss people."
 
These days Im more interesyed in books. But im interested in not only the author but the characters and their motivations. Im interested in psychology of human beings so men and women.
I dont always enjoy chatting though. especially if the other person is into a topic i find dull.
 
I'm not sure that applies. I suppose one could surmise what is one more interested in, as in what the other likes to discuss more. I'm just asking what interests men and women more and what the difference is and possibly why.

I'm more interested in female protagonists. meaning that I'm more interested in females'points of view. A friend of mine is way more interested in reading books about male protagonists. It's really not easy or even fair to predict by gender and I probably shouldn't.
 
seems theres a difference between your thinking and mine, anway. 😀

I don't think so at all. Maybe more about not expressing ourselves more clearing? Or maybe jumping ourselves too quickly to conclusions? Keeping things ambiguous maybe safer? Or maybe just not really quite knowing ourselves and don't want to.
 
I wish to avoid conflict here but i would suggest fleshing out exactly what you mean in your original post. i know I have had more success in my threads when i give examples in my first post.
but im pretty loose. its all communication. i dont care whether people stay on topic or not.

The idea of the way I questioned the topic was to keep it ambiguous as to keep it wide open as to many kind of thoughts as possible. Any kinds of thoughts that you might have is the whole idea as to hear them. Even this one as to you want the OP to be fleshed out. If you asked that earlier in the thread, I would have asked why, and that might have led in an entire side topic. No conflict needed.
 
If you mean something like-
If he's more interested in the car's engine than whether Maybelline is going out with Joe, then I guess so.
Well, that let's me and my "other" out. My wife knows more about the mechanics of cars than most men I've met. Comes from years of racing I guess. (that or I've taught her well) :unsure:

Truth

Wimin spend more time wondering what men are thinking than men spend thinking

Never
At least none that can be found with scarred knuckles and occasional dirt under their nails.
Other 'men'? Not my wheelhouse
