I can see preferring the feeling of anticipating things one has not seen or had for a period of time. This is called "suspense" and is widely practiced in both literature and film. This has nothing to do with patience, though.

I think your basic error on the most general level is your being given to very broad generalizations and gender stereotyping. "we are more patient" kind of thing, "we" referring broadly to all of the women based on your single experience with the only guy you have been with (as normal per your age, but just noticing that you have no basis for your broad generalizations).

None of it will help you in the long run. In the long run, you will be better off learning what you, as an individual human being, like, dislike, get excited about, get disgusted by, etc.

Very few things are true about gender differences. One of the things that seems to be objectively true is that women score worse on tests of spatial intelligence (meaning, women on average - there are still some women with superb spatial intelligence). I can definitely relate to that and am extremely feminine in that particular regard.

most gender stereotypes are not true and it would not help you in any way to think along the lines of gender stereotyping.
