>>56884470Men are capitalists and economists. They look at things as a transaction. "Do this for me, and I will do a thing for you." or "I did this for you; now you should do something for me either now or in the future." This is why for example old timey organized crime has a lot of favors and debt involved in its operation. You inadvertently saved the Don's life; now he owes you a favor and offers to rub someone out if they're giving you trouble.
Women do not think like this, for better and for worse. Women are anarchists at the worst; socialists at the best. Women view the world as a mix of, "Look guys we all need to help here or it's not going to get done" and "I'm going to do what I want and you have no right to stop me." A woman might flip between "help me" and "don't fucking help me" while working on the same task, based on what seems to be needed in the moment.
If you want to be more subtle, women are worse at estimating dimensions, both in space and time. The part of their brains that deal with measuring based on sight is literally smaller. However women are much better at multitasking, including both "remembering a bunch of different things at once" as well as prioritizing which needs to be done and when. That's not something you can just outright say to your reader, like "Joan couldn't figure out whether the box would fit in the car because she's a woman; while John struggled to remember the grocery list because he's a man" or whatever, but it's a little thing you can keep in mind while writing. Maybe Joan was late to The Event because she was wrong about how long it would take to get there; or John forgot about The Event because he had three other people asking him to do things at the same time.
Also men are considering every woman they encounter within the ages of 15 and 45 as a possible mate, whether they'll admit it or not. Women are constantly thinking about women as well; the difference is a woman is constantly comparing herself to all of them.
