Solve? Wrong answer ..... women likes a good listener. Men loves to solve problems/issues but that's not what women looks for. Haven't you read Women Are From Venus, Men Are From Mars?

Men, listen and that will set you free. Don't ever try to solve when it isn't asked of you.

Many times, girls/women get upset over the simplest issue. And when you get upset like that, men don't understand why you all turn it into some big problem/sin. And when men don't understand, men can't apologise. Do you want us to just apologise with no meaning to it? Like this : "I'm sorry, but I don't know what I'm sorry for". Is that what you want?

One of the prob is, if you are down and the cause is us. Sometime we don't know it. But you expect us to know. And if we ask, you don't want to answer but yet want us to apologise?

But if you are feeling down, and the cause is NOT us, I normally would ask why, then shut up and listen. Only offer a solution if I'm asked. Otherwise, I just nod and my head and say, "aha, aha, yup, yup, I agree, you are right, oh you poor thing".
