If you want to improve your communication with your man, then get a book on improving communication in general. Sexist stereotypes are hurtful.

Do you not even see how you're stereotyping men? There are women who fall into those types, too. So, it's a PEOPLE thing, and not all people. When you speak of it as, "Why do men...," you present an image of men as being like that. It's easy to say, "I know men that do all these things. I know lots of men like that," and conclude, "This must be common among men." But if you open your mind, you'll see this is common among people of both sexes, so it's not a "man thing." It's unfair to characterize men this way.

If men were the only ones to have a particular characteristic (or very few women also had it), then you might be able to say it's a man thing. But when something is common among both sexes, it's unfair to attribute it to one gender. It also sets a false image of men for younger females.
