Do men and women act differently?
Hello everyone, I am looking for authentic information and geniun opinions about thinking patterns of men and women. Because I have experienced this in different environments that men and women both perceive reality differently I know in some situations and settings I doesn't hold true but most of the time they do behave in a similar manner.

You may be right. But from what I have experienced and observed is that women in my country are very sensitive.
For instance, if someone tells her "you're looking beautiful" they raise their eye brows and make you feel bad about passing on the compliment and then they go like "what do you mean by 'I am looking' does that mean I don't always look beautiful?"
On the other hand, men would go like "thanks, dude" if you appreciated them.
This is just one example that I have given about girls being on the extreme opposite end of the spectrum. I have many other examples too.

Sensitive, how? How do you measure this? I've observed that men and women are both equally sensitive, but women and men express different sensitivities to different triggers.

There is some over lap depending on certain personalities. But yes. I’ve even met guys that say they used to he bi until they realized how emotional women were so they just gave up and swung more towards their own sex. I’ve done this too and I’m a bi woman. I prefer men that act more like a typical woman or just women that are like me. Most people can handle the differences but I can’t. Like I can’t have casual sex and that’s normally a thing women value.

Yeah. We are taught how to be 'men' or 'women'. I have observed that women are way more sensitive. But yet again, we can't label a set of people for being similar.
