I am a twice-married man, 48 years old, and have been married to my girlfriend for 12 years now. I believe women's chief complaint of men is they don't listen when their women "vent". I'm guilty of this. I get frustrated when my wife complains because my first reaction is to "fix" the problem. It's in our DNA to instinctively want to fix any given situation. Yet, what my wife really wants is for me to just listen and, more importantly, care.

On the other hand, I think men's chief complaint of women is they "nag" a lot. A woman's mind is a very complex organ. At times they don't even understand why they do what they do.

In my opinion, men and women have largely different priorities of what is important and what isn't.
