We do it that way because someone will know how to fix it or by talking it over we can figure out a cure. At least she can make fun of the way we do it.

ejcapulet, in my experience people sharing their problems isn’t about finding solutions at all; it’s about finding empathy. If someone is describing about a problem and actually has a solution offered, the second person is taken to task. This seems true of both genders:
Woman1: Situation X is upsetting me. Woman2: You poor dear! Let’s tell everyone we know.
Man1: Situation X is upsetting me. Man2: Amen, brother. Have a beer.
