What is the nature of the problems are they ranting about? With some people/topics, you just have to quietly nod your head until they leave.

I have a similar thing that happens with my dad. He likes to bitch about anything, and giving options on how he could deal with it just angers him, he wants me to just agree that stuff sucks. So i make little effort nowadays to help. Some people don't appreciate help. They will figure it out themselves.

I don't usually talk to men about my problems unless I think they could help, so, don't automatically ignore every woman when they come up to you. At work, when I'm talking to someone it's typically because there is some issue I would like their opinion on.

The fact that you care to even ask is telling to me that you’re a caring guy a woman would be lucky to have.

Don’t be afraid to just be open about it, you could even say “do you want advice or are you just looking to vent”

I honestly feel like if a guy explained to me just like you said “I’m solution based and it’s hard for me to not just want to take action to help you” I would respect that a lot. It would definitley put it into perspective for me if I felt like you weren’t being sensitive to my emotions surrounding the issue.

This might be a naive answer but I think it’s true. You shouldn’t have to change your communication style and problem solving attitude for someone but it’s great to be able to talk about it as a couple, sometimes this may involve some sacrifice and you’ll have to hear a dumb story but I think it’s worth it

You’re not supposed to listen to women’s problems. You’re supposed to remind them they’re being self-indulgently emotional and embarrassing themselves. You’re supposed to remind them that unless they want solutions, they should keep their problems to themselves. You’re supposed to teach them self control and how to redirect their narcissism and self-obsession outward as care for others.
