Women are more into details

Do you agree that women are more into details than men? For example you are going out in a picnic and the woman have everything in mind from the smallest things such as spoon and fork to the big things as tents, picnic baskets, the food etc? And your man just prepared himself for the big event? In our relationship, we usually have petty quarrels about little things that my husband fails to deliver. Not that he doesn't want to do it but it's just that they are not into details and they do not mind about things as much as women do. So, is it true? Haha!

I think its a personality thing. My dad and mom were both extremely detailed oriented. However, because most moms are the ones who end up with having to take the blame for any details left out, they do become more detailed oriented. When you have a kid, you need all this stuff... diapers, bottles... I don't know, never had one... and if anything is left off the kid suffers... you know... I think moms become more detailed oriented because of these things, just my thought...

yeah, I believe so too, that women especially moms are more detailed when it comes to things. may it be things that the baby needs or things around the house. women worry much than men I think. :)

I don't know, I've known worry wart guys and women that don't. Heck, I knew a gal who'd go off to a science fiction convention and find her husband and son would clean the house while she was gone!

That's true. Us, women are more into details. We see to it that everything is fine whenever we go out for an outing. Even our bags are always full of things , we perceive as needed , whenever there is an emergency or a need for it. For myself, i always have a fan, a folding umbrella and a small flashlight in my bag. That's because i would like to be secured that when i need them, they are readily available.

Haha, you beat me on those things inside your bag :) I'm not really detailed when it comes to my personal things as I'm more worried about other things that concern my kids, the utilities etc :)

I think that is a big stereotype that people continue to perpetuate, whether they realize it or not. My husband is actually more into details than I am. That's not to say that all men are like him, all women are like me, or vice versa, just that all individual are different, and that who is or is not into the details depends on the individual and not the gender.

Yes, in my experience this has been true for the most part. But when it comes to their, (men's) jobs they are right on the money doing what it takes to get it all done as needed. My husband I been with for 20 years is a good man in the fact that he helps with getting things ready to go. He didn't do as much as he does now. He is better than he use to be years ago about this.

My husband also helps me out on things, but I dont know, I just need to remind him a couple of times to get things started or done. Maybe I'm just always in the hurry to get things done.

I think in general it is true that women care more about details. But it really depends on what the topic is. If it was a camping trip he'd remember everything! lol! Of hunting!! But when it comes to other things like babies and such women are much more into detail. Tell a man someone had a baby and you'll be lucky if he even finds out the gender. But a woman will know when the baby was born, how much it weighed, its gender, length ect!

Haha! That's so true! Women almost know about everything and in detail. Maybe it really depends upon the situation. If it's more of a man's activity or not

Definitely, without a doubt I personally believe that women go into more detail with everything. When it comes to planning a family get together, parties etc. My husband doesn't even get involved in planning anymore, he's response is "I do it so much better" and just leaves me to do the planning all by myself. I really don't mind, I actually tend to enjoy it, once in a while I will ask him for an opinion or to decide on something, but other than that the responsiblity is all mine.

Thank you, it took me a while to get the avatar up, but I finally got it!!! I try to get him involved whether he likes it or not, he is going to be apart of it anyways right. But like you said normally the responsibility is all MINE, good thing is I love it and don't mind doing it.

yeah, I think so too that involvement is the key. We are all a part of a celebration, outing etc. So for all of us to have fun, everyone should be assigned a task. Assignments can be disseminated. Haha! He wont have a choice but involve himself

hi! first off you really have a pretty avatar! going back to the issue :) Haha! They are like that. they try to get away by saying things like that. Somehow I do not mind about it to, but yes, it's good to involve them sometimes or even w/ little things so that they'll feel that they somehow have the responsibility to get involved :)

It would seem so. Women want to know what all the answers are. They are into details. Men, on the other hand, have the long time reputation for not being into details. Just show me! Is what they are usually like. Men tend to just look over the exterior and if they like it they move in. Women want to know more.

Yeah, sometimes it feels like they are your boss (not in a bad way), you present the things, they nod or disapprove and that's basically it! hahaha!

i think it is more of a personality thing. while it is true for some that women are more into details, it could not be true to somebody else. my husband is into more details than i am. i always forget something, but my husband is always ready. he is the one who would remind me what to bring when we are going to travel. one time, during our trip to Cebu City, when we are about to go to the entrance of the airport, i just remember that i forgot to bring my identification document, i was so disappointed because again and as to how many times, my memory failed me. good thing that inside my husband's wallet is my another I.D. that he would always bring with him and we were able to get into plane. i must admit that i am not much into details, i don't recognize little mistakes and i don't pick up small details. good thing that God bless me with a husband who compliments my weakness.

wow! you are really lucky! :) well, my husband may not be oriented most of the time but he has some "heroic" times too. like when I was the one who forget things, he would marvel at how he manage to remember it. and he would tease me on being forgetful always, not checking on things etc :)

Not all women are more conscientious. Researching is a trait. And everyone can have a meticulous nature, whether female or male. Sometimes, people can be careful in certain matters only.

yes correct, it may differ and depend. But generally speaking, it's a yes right?

It depends on your personality, I guess. Our boss is male, but, he dwells on the smallest stuff. Sometimes we render overtime just because of minute details in the report. He makes big issues out of small ones, and it's causing him stress. And when he's stressed, he lashes out on us.
@staria (2780)

yes I guess so too. Or maybe his position calls him to be like that--detailed. Because he's the boss he should know everything. But I know people who are in a high position but still they lack organization. So maybe you're right. :)

That's why it takes forever for a woman to find a dress or shoes that she likes in a shopping mall because they were too meticulous when it when it comes to details, in a way they are really want to make sure when it comes to quality.I hope I'm not offending anyone but I think women are usually perfectionist and very organized.That's why women are into fashion and home decoration

Haha!! That's very true, women are so meticulous about things and they want everything to be done if not perfect, good enough. Maybe it's really a gal's nature. :) Yeah, lists are there to serve as a constant reminder, even if we have unending lists in mind.

haha! funny when you think about it after, that you fought because of the simple things that he forgot. I do try to talk to my husband,he always promise not to be like that but after some time he will be forgetful again. Maybe it's really not his nature.

General scientists says that men are physically strong and women are mentally strong.ofcourse its true,and in general statements many of them say that ,"women do management well,than a men".may be because from past years women are managing their families what ever the situations may be.realy women are capable in every thing
@staria (2780)

I have to agree w/ you. Women are mentally and emotionally strong in my opinion. And when it comes to raising a family, a father may have the final decision but everything in between, they come from the mom.
21 Sep 11
Yes,you are right. The women are more detail prepare everything. But my husband when we go piknic or we are travelling he is great! :) I do not need to do anything. He plains, complate and prepare! Wow!

hi, yes I got your point. I think what you're trying to say is that I should not do things alone and that I should involve my husband in preparing things or any other matter that involves the both of us. I really like the idea that I should educate my husband. Well not in an obvious way, but educating him thru actions that he won't notice. thanks!

Wow, you're lucky to have a husband like that! My husband also thinks about other things, but most of the time it's me who prepares and sees to it that everything's complete when the big day comes.
22 Sep 11
O..dear I wish you from all my heart that you husband start to do more that he did before today!!! You will be very lucky women-wife-mother! But I will share with you secret of my lucky..:))) You need to be grate women! (I am sure you are) but a little bit different... you must educate your husband.. for example.. you need that will be everything prepared for big day.. ask him what he want that will be on this big day, how he want that this day was spent, what he want to eat.. and try that he start to find new meals, souce.. test it and prepare it! DO NOT DO IT BY YOURSELF!!! This is the main rule!!! Believe you can forget something to take or prepare for this big day..The next time he started to ask you do you prepare everything that you need for it!!! I think you are clever women and you understand my idea, that I wanted to say you. The most important for you must be yourself, children and than husband! Sometimes you can change the places, when it need! My son and husband try to control me when we go somewhere and check.. :))) Because I could forgot something and I could be tied, or I do not want to do it at all! :))) Good Luck Dear!

So true.....I don't have alot of experience with men, but have found this to be very true with my son. He just goes....if he is traveling he doesn't always pay attention to what he is packing...just shoves some things into his bag and goes! LOL

Haha, I observed the same thing w/ my hubby too. Everytime he goes to work I usually check if he have an extra shirt, towels, etc. But he would just nod and say that everything's there already, even if he did not check it again.

Yes dear, I agree with you 100 percent. I think we are by nature created by God to be that way. God created us as man's helpmeet, so what everdeficiencies and weaknesses our man has we are to the one to fill. I think we should be more understanding of our husband regarding this matter instead of criticizing or nagging them about this let us just be more understanding and help them by thoughtfully taking care of small but important things they don't really care about.

wow! you must be a very patient lady but what you said is true, maybe God gave women to men to help them carry on w/ life in general (w/ things, their worries, etc). because even if they look masculine and all knowing they can also be weak on certain areas. thanks! :)

I think it depends on the man but in general women are more into details. There are some men that are detailed, but in general they aren't. They just aren't interested in the same things as women.
@staria (2780)

yes, there are some exemptions but I do think too that women are more focused in general. and worries much than men too :)

Yes, you are right. There would be no ending quarrels and no one wins in this issue. So, I would just prepare everything myself, and if he has to do it I would remind him every hour about what he must do or prepare for an event. I even would make a list for him to tick when he's done with it... Nagging is sometimes needed...

Hi staria! I have not seen you in a while and hope all is okay with you. I have seen some men more attentive to detail as opposed to women, and I suppose it does vary from person to person. As for me and my partner, I am the one who is meticulous and very attentive to detail. Sometimes I find that I can remember a whole lot more because I am always listening and watching out for details. lol
@staria (2780)
• Philippines
22 Sep 11
is it also because women are more of good listeners and keen observers? Haha! But you're right, it varies but generally speaking I still believe that women are still more into details and that we dig into things more than men do. Most of them are not focused so they forget things more. thanks
@eseulhan (199)

Yes i do, maybe because women are more organized than men. Also, i think woman's nature is perfectionist, they wanted everything to be smooth just the way they wanted things to happen. I guess, only some guys understand this characteristic of a woman. They more think of a woman in its negative side, as meticulous and not as an organized person. Maybe you and your husband should have a talk about it, let him understamd. He might will.
@staria (2780)

we are perfectionist, maybe because we are more idealist. like we've pictured everything to sail out fine and happy. we already have a big picture in mind and we do not want things to ruin that, so we dig into details :) thanks for the advice! :)
