Men and women approach problems differently. Men feel better solving it right away or minimizing it. Women don't want it to be solved right away, they want to vent and talk about it. My husband did the same thing until I shared this info with him and now he doesn't do it anymore. It works in the reverse too. When I worked, a male coworker was telling me about a problem that he was having and I minimized it (told him if he looked at it another way it wasn't really such a big deal). He was so happy! If you did this to a woman she would be upset! (Of course this is just the majority of each group. Each group has people in it that wouldn't respond that way).

Can you limit Charlene's access to your facebook page?
