I can agree on both points.

Though, women more often try to manipulate or instrumentalize people around them, from my personal experience.

Most men follow a more straight approach. From my very limited personal angle.

That's definitely true. I still don't think that's an inherent difference though, I think it's because women learn to take advantage of the Women are Wonderful Effect, whereas for men everyone is suspicious of them and views them as a potential threat or competition.

It is imho somewhat hidden in this deep-psychology thing I wrote above. Which took me a long time to fully accept.

Women mostly also expect to be loved unconditionally as a principle, while many men never get to even experience this. That is why many women long so hard for revenge when they get betrayed for the first time.

I could go on...

As I said: This is one of the topics I continuously spend time on with my most favorite therapists. I'm genuinely interested in it.
