re: The stark difference in between women and men in explaining simple things

It's the worst when you work in education. My colleagues would stop and talk to another female colleague for 40 minutes instead complete a task that only takes 15 minutes. These are mostly middle aged white women. They considered it "rude" if you didn’t take time to do small talk even if you had something important to do. It's why many institutions are so unproductive these days.

My English teacher in HS used to say men think like waffles (grid-like, structured, logic, process oriented), and women think like spaghetti (random details, more emotional, juggle multiple thoughts).
Idk why that always stuck with me. Waffles and spaghetti.

hate this nonsense term so much. Just another word that is weaponized far more than it's used appropriately.
Like a lot of these terms, it used to refer to men who were actual misogynistic. Now its used by entitled women to describe anytime a man disagrees with her, holds the accountable for anything. Its why nobody really takes the feminist movement anymore. Its mostly just lazy entitled women now who feel they are too special to work hard or go through difficult circumstances than it is about actual misogyny, at least in white western countries it is.

I already said that I don't like it when I ALREADY understand something and didn't ask for it to be explained to me.

Do you verbalize this or do you expect the guy to just assume that you know everything about every subject in the world? Maybe he is being a condescending prick, but I'm willing to bet more often than not, he's actually just trying to provide context to help the conversation move along.

It’s funny you say that because I was just reflecting back to school in how much better I did in classes taught by men than women because it was always much simpler to follow along and retain the information presented.

Most women can't do gap analysis to arrive at a solution to a given problem, they want a process and the process itself becomes more important than solving the original issue.
This may be the problem with the school system.
Going through the motions of the learning process is more important than learning itself.

Like 5 minutes. But I just smile and nod.

I go off run time and the thumbnail. If i have a video thsts 3 and a half minutes, im picking it over the 9 minute video. I dont need a damn intro telling me what were learning when the damn title of the video does that, for example.

A lot of that is unfortunately the fault of the YouTube (or whatever service) algorithm. YT heavily ignores “short” videos that aren’t literally “Shorts”.

If you would just get to the point then the man wouldn't feel the need to hurry things along.

They certainly do feel, feel they are better than you. At least that's what the voices tell them.

It’s what happens in any situation in which the people making the decisions are more concerned about gaining, or not losing, face/standing than they are about coming to the objectively best decision. Reaching a safe group consensus is more important.

Women are always in an emotional state- I don’t say that as an insult- it’s that for them making that Greek yogurt is intensely emotional. Every step of it evokes emotions and the emotions are the whole point. To a man the yogurt is the whole point. We have limited steps in the yogurt process, they have the unlimited palette and endless colors that are their emotions.
Yeah, I am always taking the path of least resistance to get to the end product as quickly as possible. I wish that I was able to live in the moment more.

That was really helpful. I can’t remember as young man ever being told that you need to be “liked”. It was more like:
1)behave yourself
2)always compete as hard as you can-if you lose then it’s still ok….you did your best.
3)try to recognise the truth
Chics ever get told that growing up?
