This behavior isn’t exclusive to one sex, but I think it is stereotypically feminine. I (a heterosexual man) usually hear about it when heterosexual men give each other advice, and it’s presented as an irrational thing many women do which the men should learn to accommodate.
Sometimes the problem solving men jump to is annoying as shit. Like, I’m a man, and I want to complain about my cluster headaches. No I don’t need you to be the 20th person to tell me I just need to stay hydrated. No I would not like to hear your methods for dealing with migraines that are probably not real migraines. What I get are not migraines. They’re called suicide headaches for a reason.
Damn bro i know im late, but it sounds like you need to drink some H2O. You know the amount of water that you need to drink is half your weight in oz. And thats not including if you work and sweat.
So it sounds like a lot, but you only have to drink a gallon of water a day if you’re 250 lbs. A gallon sounds daunting, but once you get used to it you’ll be craving water.
Being topped off on fluids constantly is a life changer.
Edit: i dont get migraines, and i maybe have a headache one or two times a year. I eat a bit unhealthy, smoke, smoke, drink, rarely do drugs, but ive continued to drink so much water that even after turning 30 with such long abuse, i some how feel almost completely fine. Way better then most people i know.
The fact that the stereotype exists (and both the man and the woman presumably know that it does) makes me perceive the comment in the OP as mocking or patronizing. The man’s intent could be to offend or perhaps to imply “I’m glad you don’t actually expect treatment like this,” but even that would offend many women. I don’t understand why you or the woman in the OP think it was said in good faith, because it’s something I would say myself only if I wanted to hurt the feelings of the woman I was speaking to so much that I was willing to sound sexist.

And the only difference, staying hydrated!
