Man (human) is a bundle of mistakes. This goes for both the genders. But, what you want to know depends upon the situation. Otherwise, in general, everyone (weather a man or woman) wants to be heard with patience and RESPECT. There is a word "empathy". This lies in the core of every situation. To the Listner, it should be a empathetic listening but not Sympathetic one. Because in symathy you sometimes hurt the feelings without understanding the situation and giving any resolution to that. I am not gender biased. Everyone in this world is stubborn. Including me. So don't worry be happy. Life is very short no re-takes. Live life large.
