* Women use more words and gestures to communicate, whereas men prefer concise, direct language.

* Men are solution-focused and often try to “fix” problems, while women may prioritize discussing and sharing emotions.

* Women have a stronger memory for details of events, particularly emotional experiences, compared to men.

* Men rely more on the logical left hemisphere of the brain, while women use both hemispheres, which helps with empathy and multitasking.
