@billieraebrandt: Are women venting "just because" or for real explanations? #mansplaining #ventingsession #fortheboys #datingadviceformen #datingadviceforwomen #moderndating
I'll never get it. clearly he's listening if he's giving solutions, and giving solutions shows that he cares about you and your problem. where's the problem?

Joseph Ponzillo :
I think a good compromise is that if a woman just wants to vent, to say “hey, could I vent and just have you listen? It helps a lot

100%! My last girlfriend would vent to me, but in the form of yelling, so my first instinct was to solve the problem so I wouldn’t get yelled at, and then I would get yelled at for trying to solve it

When she is telling me an issue I ask are you venting or need a solution so it solves what they want.

You can vent once, if I hear it twice I’m going to give advice, and if you try a third time after I’ve told you how to solve it then go talk to one of your girls…

As a man, my first instinct is to fix the problem, whether it's a broken shelf, someone having a bad day, or someone upset with me

Richard Muench :
can be said in one sentence - "don't fix it - I need something to complain about"

Open communication is key, say that your venting and tell your partner you need an ear. It makes a difference in the end.

Just venting? I don’t want to hear your venting sorry that’s toxic. I don’t partake in that now.

my go to for showing it's just venting is to blurt it all out then end with "and thank you for coming to my tedtalk" lol

The Elemental Oracle :
Married for 8 years here. A lesson I'm sadly only learning just now: as a man, never share how I feel ever, it'll only upset her. And then I feel worse for her feeling bad. Men just have to ignore our feelings and 100% support our wife. Happy wife happy life!

I hate that. Girls vent a problem and then when a man gives a possible solution the girl gets mad at the man.

ErikBlackthorn :
Women always just want to vent, we are the sounding board, they want the sympathetic listener and not our advice how to fix it.. accept that and learn to be at peace with it.. they are just different

this is why I ask, "do you want the blanket or the sword?" basically do you want comfort or solutions

We will happily listen to and let you vent. We just need to know ahead of time if you want just an ear or a solution.

my girl explained that she doesn't want me to solve her problems. so now when she has a problem I just say "that sounds very difficult" and go about my day

Venting and over validation become toxic. Unless you legit are confused don’t complain, not even to yourself

Ian Muir :
I'm honestly ok with listening and being supportive if my wife wants to vent, I just need to know if she wants solutions or just wants somebody to listen and validate

Elizardo Valentin Le :
In my case if you want to vent you need to tell me that you are venting and I'll just listen, if not I'll default to a solution

real men don't like seeing the ine they love upset, sad or anything else negative... so we try to help and solve the problem so we can see them happy again

Once a girl starts ranting about a problem I will stop her and ask if she just needs an ear to listen or if she wants problem-solving.

It's not about the nail. check out the YouTube video. A humorous take on the topic.

Michael :
She just wants to know that shes not crazy for feeling the way she does.All you have to do is validate that her feelings make sense with what shes going through.Its actually a lot easier than solving.

The most important thing in life we own is time. Venting wastes time.

Jeff Schroeffel :
We also specifically DONT burden women with our work problems. We feel it’s important not to increase their stress if they can’t help. So dumping this on your man is unfair

The worst is when she is venting about a problem and after listening you realize SHE is the problem.

we have a rule. if EITHER of us just wants to vent, we have to say "just venting" BEFOREHAND. otherwise we have to expect the other to try to fix it.

Let your man know when you just want to vent, vs. when you want help with a solution, and they won't have to guess (and be wrong). Communication!

a bigger thing to point out that all of this (which is true) is communication. say "I'm just venting" first and it'll solve this
