Well, my thoughts on some stuff, even though I am not a "man" yet (only 15 years old right now)

In "man" terms I think women read much more into things and are often right about their "extra" interpretations, especially when conversing with other women (oh the way she darted her eyes when I said that). Men miss that whole conversation.
In general it is true that women/girls do read much more into things (and in certain cases observe certain stuff a lot more than men), but they *believe* they are right about their "extra" interpretations and observations. Many times they ARE right, but many times they are wrong as well.

Being a boy, looking at eyes is something I don't do much, BUT, I *do* make a distinction as well as interpretation based on the voice tone, body language, general attitude etc.

I again happened to overhear a chick discussion in school. You know what they talked about? Being pregnant.
While it may seem weird at first glance, this particular discussion is quite common among women. It is an experience, and surely there is going to be curiosity and sharing of their thoughts on the matter.
IMO, women DO think, and they have a different approach to most situations than males. That does not make them any more or less rational or irrational though. Given the physical and biological differences between Men and women, the reactions are perhaps different to different situations due to the inherent need to minimize problems to the body or metabolism, while maintaining homeostasis and steady mental state. Upbringing also plays a less important role.
