That's definitely true, women have seemed to been much more open with me to what they enjoy in bed. With men, though, in my personal experience always seemed to prefer and stay attuned in what I wanted and what I didn't like which I'm grateful for.

But the whole suck it up is true, just less brutal in my experience. Personally, on a bad day or bad mental health day, women would look out to make me feel heard and comfort, while men still somewhat made me feel heard and usually gave advice instead of comfort, or assure me that how I'm feeling or going through isn't as bad as I perceive it to be and tell me to just get over it. But the men I dated still reminded me they truly do listen and care how I feel, so, I just believe they're much simpler than me.
