Women need to talk in order to calm down, but men need to be alone to calm down- True or false?

Question

If you find the statement to be true, then how have you dealt with situations involving that problem?

Give an example.

Answer 1

Thats not necessarily true, I don't think it is a gender issue but it mostly depends on the person. Take me for instance when I get mad about something I tend to isolate myself until I get calm. When my brother gets upset he starts mumbling and talking to himself and even though I find that kinda out there I guess its fine if it gets him calm.  It just depends on the person.

Answer 2

i guess that could be a generality, but specific cases are different.  A mature adult of either s*x knows that talking things out is a good idea, the stress will go away much faster when the problem is solved.  Of course, in general, men and women go about solving those problems in a different way, which even when talked about can lead to problems, but it is better than nothing.

Answer 3

That's about right. It's that Mars/Venus thing.

Answer 4

Everytime I have guy troubles I need to vent to my friends, but when I went through depression I kept it to myself and basically wanted to be alone all the time. So I guess it's different depending on the circumstances

Answer 5

that make sense but I am not the type of person that needs to be alone to calm down i usually like to talk about my problem...guys in the other hand never seem to talk about it and it seems they get calmer when they have some time alone!!!

Answer 6

it's true my boyfriend always wants to be alone when we have an argument  but i always want to talk about it if i don't i get more mad by the second i want to get things in the open to understand but it's hard when he doesn't want to talk about it.

Answer 7

False, I need time alone to calm down and I am a woman.  

Answer 8

I hate generalizations.

I need to be alone to calm down.. and usually need to write out my feelings, rather than talking them out.

My husband is the opposite.  He needs to talk about what is bothering me/him/us before he can completely calm down.

Answer 9

it depends on them guy most do want space in order to caml down and put ther thoughts together. And men that require this the best thing to do it let them. Otherwise hurtful things get said that arent meant. Give him his space he will call you when he is ready.
