Yes, I think there is considerable difference between genders in this.
In fact, guys underestimating how important are "feelings" to girls is a very widespread problem in personal relations.
I wanted to tell you why I'm downvoting.
A) The assumption that "feelings" are less important to males. They are not. I'm quite attached to mine, actually. The fact that I strongly prefer to enforce a correspondence between my emotions and events (ie: I should feel good about good things happening and bad about bad things happening) is basic common sense.
B) The assumption that for women, feelings are more important than facts.
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
