I was taught a long time ago a simple idea ... Men hear a problem and try to solve it...”i don't know x" ok let me teach you" or "I can't get this thing to work" ok let me try if I can.
Women on initial compliant some times just want to know that you know they are struggling. Instead of "let me teach you” you could say "I'm sure you will understand" or "I know it's difficult but you got this".
Yes it varies by person some men prefer the latter and some women prefer the former. As with most things it's up to you to know your partner and what they want...
I'm a problem solver by trade and in recreation (IT, games, etc), but I also complain sometimes without desiring a fix. Sometimes I know a way to solve it but am just complaining that it even needs to be solved, and sometimes I either want to share just because it's interesting, or because it's funny.
Sometimes I'm just venting, and an actual fix won't help my mood while venting. Like I will take the advice and apply it later, but for thus moment, I need to get my feelings out. I'm a cis* male.
*(it's been suggested I'm actually nonbinary or something similar due to my mild interest in gender fluidity, but I personally don't identify that way, nor do I get bothered if referred to that way or by any gender).
