I have spent a long time contemplating this issue, especially back when I
was in college and thus exposed to myriads of people; and have come to
conclude that in some areas, particularly related to feelings about the
nature of interpersonal relationships, men and women are fundamentally
different.

I suspect this is cultural; and I have known women who were more or less
exactly like me in terms of their views of things (these I especially
liked); but I think that the principle holds in general.
