Input from a clinical psychologist and therapist: That's true but leaves out the fact that everybody responds better to validation (just like you described for women) unless they ask for advice or a solution. I'll also say--this time only anecdotally--that even men requesting advice and answers often benefit much more from validation, especially when advice would not be helpful.
