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

Because most women like to make a short story long. Their minds roam as their mouth speaks. They love to expound on details--------and it doesn't matter how trivial that detail is, they will tell you all about it.
Ask a man for directions to a nearby business and you will get:
Go to the corner, take a right, go 6 blocks and take a left and it's on the right hand side in the middle of the block.
Ask a woman the same question and you will get.
Go to the corner and be sure to look for cars coming since they love to speed around here. Take a right and be careful since there's kids that ride their bikes in the street and there's lots of cats running wild. Go 5 blocks-----NO six blocks and take a left. There's a little boutique store on the corner that I love to browse in since they have some of the cutest things at good prices. The place you want is in the middle of the block, but I'm not sure what side it's on.

That’s perfect. The natural solipsistic nature of of women . It just is . Example.
News on tv : There was a terrible typhoon in Japan that killed 100 people.
Man: Wow that must have been quite a storm . What’s for dinner?
Woman: Wow, that’s terrible - those poor people- I wish I could do something-did I tell you about the bag I bought in Japan? I love Japan. I usually stay in Kyoto when I go although there is this lovely hotel in Hokkaido where the skiing is in the winter. I went last year with the kids…..

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?
I think it’s somewhat shifting, but historically, the points that tend to be emphasized to young girls is to look pretty, be nice, be pleasant, share, play together.
Next time you’re in a large family dynamic with small children around, pay attention to the things boys and girls get complimented for. For girls, it’s generally going to be something involving their appearance (shoes, clothes, hair being described as cute or pretty), playing quietly, or sharing. Or, and it’s a weird exception: doing something performative for you or the group. Boys tend to be complimented for exploring, trying new things, winning at something, etc. Adjectives are more likely to be “cool” or “awesome” or the like.
The socialization starts early.

If someone does this to me, I tell them I already know what I'm doing and don't need their advice and move on with life. But I'm a guy. I guess if I were a woman I would feel compelled to go online and bitch about it and feel personally slighted as opposed to just being a grown up and speaking up when it happens and explaining I already know what the hell I'm doing. But hey, what do I know?
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.

Bingo. Well said. Much more succinct way to say what I tried to say.

Bunch of angry men in this thread.

When I ask a simple question like how long did it take you to get here? And the woman starts her answer with, “so………….5 mins later.”

This explains government to a “T”, it has been womanized, not weaponized, but womanized.

Ask me what the time is and I say two o'clock.
Ask my wife(no pics) and she will build a clock.

Both of my kids are mathematically gifted but they have asked me to help them understand a concept at times. I am also mathematically gifted and I truly enjoy math....to the extent that I buy high school and college algebra books at thrift stores and do the word problems in them as a hobby....I know, that is sick, but its no different than doing a crossword puzzle....but I digress. Both of our kids have told me, at times, that the genesis of calculus is fascinating, no doubt, but what they really need is for me to explain how to integrate the specific function they asked about LOL. Geometry was the worst for both of them....I get kind of excited when explaining geometry to real life applications LOL. My wife, their mother, is also gifted mathematically....when they asked her for help she actually understood they wanted help with that nights assignment, not a philosophical discussion of the merits of Pythagoras....

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.
This is why we hunt and fish and drink beer with other baws .
Men are just as emotional as women. While we are hunting and fishing and drinking beer with the baws if we miss a duck or, god forbid some jackoff flare a duck, we lose our shite LOL.....I can't count the number of times I have caught myself calling another fisherman anything other than a child of god for being on "my" spot or otherwise somehow impeding my plan.....and don't even start with men driving....no, women are no more emotional than men......

It's triggering, I'll admit, because it takes a normal word and just dumps a bunch of "man = bad" on top. It makes the user look like a hater imo
Why would anyone care? I am a man, I know some shite, I will explain some shite. If someone calls it mansplaining they ain't wrong.....why anyone would not just butt in and say they understand is a them problem, not a me problem....I think most people who use the term do so because they don't understand something and it irks the shite out of them when someone else does....again, a them problem, not a me problem....

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.
There is a plethora of data to suggest that boys learn better from men and girls learn better from women....the issue was and would be again that one group or the other would get more resources.....in most cases the boys and the men but not always.

This may be the problem with the school system.
Going through the motions of the learning process is more important than learning itself.
One of the biggest complaints I have in life is the way math is taught in most schools. The drill and rote memorization is stupid....math is about solving problems through thinking....it is a fascinating process and one children easily grasp because humans are fascinated with solving problems...mechanics are boring as hell and kids eventually give up and tune out. The phrase "I won't ever use that" is a common refrain and almost no one responds in any way other than "yes you will" when there are an infinite number of ways people use math everyday to solve problems and get shite done. Even simple addition and multiplication is fascinating to most kids until they are hammered by adults who criticize their ability to remember shite....when the same adult could teach them to add and multiply using real life situations that the kid encounters everyday.

They get lost in the minutia, bounce around with random personal anecdotes,
Well my wife was an attorney and super smart. She was trained in how to be succinct in both business and our personal life. She would cut you like a knife. I learned a lot over the 28 years we were together on how to express my opinion. Early she would lap me. Honestly I was the one that tended to over explain in the early days. She taught me tons on how to be more straightforward. I know this might not be typical but that was the case for us.
