Surely ... we can do better than this?

As an emt, I was trained to pay sharp attention to a woman's description of her pain. They tend to understate or downplay their symptoms. Men, on the other hand, are more into whining and drama. That's a broad generalization, of course, but I think women are more stoic than men.

So far, it's 2 to 1 to "Yes, women complain more".

Math:

Yes + "Duh" = 8
No = 4

The reason women appear to complain a great deal, is that they are complaining about complaining men.

Status: offline 		In my experience, women complain more than men because men are more often in positions of responsibility where complaining won't fly.

Just my experience, and I've certainly known men who bitch a lot too.

The men complain during one of their rants or when they are at the bar with their pals and the ladies complain during their discussions with each other. I would have to say its a pretty even split. Though I will say this when one of my guys is sick and comes to work OMG ...talk about whining! The ladies tend to get quiet, take their meds and not make to big of a deal of it.

when men complain, they inflate the situation by over analyzing without ever solving the original problem

In my experiences, I don't see where either gender has the edge on complaining any more than the other. It's been evenly split.

I will concur with the posters who have stated that some women tend to complain for the purpose of getting feedback, correcting the issue, then moving on. Some men tend to complain just for the sport of it, spice it up a bit, then get into a pissing match with their brethern of like mind to see who has the largest beef.

Pun may or may not have been intended. ;-)

Status: offline 		sappatoi and sam seem to have a point.

In my discussion with Treasure over this issue, she found a study in which men and women were found to complain equally - but the method and reasoning for the complaints were different.

I'll let her post the link, if she will, but from memory, men complain in order to justify or excuse, women complain in order to get action of some sort.

I told her that made sense to me.  Women nag, men blow it off.

I'm not sure she's exactly in my corner in this, but it certainly sounds good to me.

Firm

PS. Treasure does NOT nag NOR complain.  In fact, she is close to perfection for a woman as you are likley to find (for me, anyway). This discussion is "in general" for all women, and all men, and not specifically for any one man or woman.

Think Bell curves.
