If they do manage to listen without the fixing thing, they've then been put on the friend ladder which is at odds with what a man wants.
If dating, a man doesn't want to take the five minutes needed for the girl to dump off her emotional load before he goes out (or whatever) and so she feels that he doesn't want to listen. She builds up her emotional baggage, explodes, and then watches the man walk away because she's gone off the deep end.
I believe that friendship means different things to the sexes.

I'm not sure there is anything on earth that means the same to each sex...
I admittedly have not read most of this thread, so my comment may have come out of context to the argument that you and Q-scout were engaged in.
However, I do not think it is a fair argument to state that a guy only pretends to want a friendship when in reality, he just wants a sexual relationship. Are there jerks who do that? Sure, but that comment just struck me as a pretty gross generalization.
