Men tend to focus on solutions from "summary" of Why men don't listen and women can't read maps by Allan Pease,Barbara Pease

In the face of a problem, men have an innate tendency to immediately shift their focus to finding a solution. This is a deeply ingrained aspect of their nature, one that is rooted in their evolution as hunters and providers for their families. When confronted with a challenge, men's brains are wired to jump into action and search for a way to overcome it, drawing upon their problem-solving skills and logical thinking abilities. This proactive approach to problem-solving can be seen in various aspects of men's lives, from their professional endeavors to their personal relationships. Rather than getting bogged down by the details or complexities of a situation, men prefer to cut straight to the chase and come up with a plan of action. This can sometimes lead to a sense of impatience or frustration when dealing with individuals who do not share the same focus on finding solutions. In the realm of communication, this tendency can manifest itself in the form of offering unsolicited advice or attempting to fix a problem without being asked. Men may see this as a way of being helpful and supportive, but it can often be perceived as dismissive or controlling by those on the receiving end. This disconnect in communication styles can create misunderstandings and conflicts between men and women, who may have different approaches to handling challenges. While women are more inclined to seek emotional support and validation when facing a problem, men prefer to take a more pragmatic and action-oriented approach. This fundamental difference in communication styles can create barriers to effective collaboration and understanding between the sexes. By recognizing and appreciating these differences, individuals can work towards bridging the gap and fostering better communication and mutual understanding.
