Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research suggests that women generally tend to seek emotional support and confide in other women due to shared experiences and socialization. On the other hand, men are socialized to not show vulnerability or weakness and tend to confide less in others, particularly other men. However, when men do seek emotional support, they may turn to women as they are perceived to be more nurturing and empathetic.
