They problem with men is that they are unwilling to ask because they are unwilling to admit they don’t know.

I don't believe, for most men, that it's about "admitting" we don't know. I believe it's more about proving we can figure it out.

It's in our nature to fix stuff. If we are lost, that is just another form of broke. Time to fix what is broke.

Women have a problem, they talk about.

Women talk about their problem to a man, he wants to fix it.

Man tries to fix womans problem...now man has a new problem.

Oh. Well that makes sense. To women it looks like you can’t admit you don’t know.

As for the last 3 lines, ROTFL!!!! Yes, I can see that. But with my husband, we usually didn’t get to the point where he tried to fix a problem because he was too busy just PRETENDING TO LISTEN. Ugh! Drove me crazy. He got very good at it, too.

“I don’t believe, for most men, that it’s about “admitting” we don’t know. I believe it’s more about proving we can figure it out.”

Exactly!
‘Knowing’ is irrelevant. The ability to figure it out is everything. It isn’t an binary thing of do or don’t know. It is a process where by all locations may be discovered.
