Sure there are differences! Some of that is endemic as individuals but a lot of it is conditioning from environment. Ultimately, men are at most men when they carry masculine traits and women are at themselves most feminine when they carry female traits. Given the choice, historically, the "ideal man" for a majority of women has been a tall, dark, handsome, rugged guy. And historically, the ideal woman for a majority of guys is a soft, voluptuous, caring woman. A man is at his most basic, a hunter, a gatherer, a provider, a builder, a defender. He protected the woman who gave him a family, made a home, and provided food and other things. Like yin and yang, they fit together as a team as a whole and made a system that worked. Only in modern culture have we recently created this artificial environment where government has supplanted the man and women make their own careers, own lives, and don't need men under the protection of government. But in doing so, we are making women less female and more like men, and in many ways, making men less masculine and more like women. This is an unnatural construct of modern human social engineering on a timescale too swift for nature to cope with that goes against nature, and undoubtedly, while certainly there may be some benefits to this, it is also the cause of a great deal of the problems we have too. We have become afraid to let "boys be boys," while teaching girls at the same time that raising a family and making a home "isn't enough" for them, even if they can have a career on the side, and I'm afraid that at the heart of this thinking is the modern feminist, whose basic nature is an antipathy towards guys! My belief is this stems from a basic dislike in their own (lack of) femininity, and if society is to be influenced by a system who at its heart is anti-male-biased, then it is easy to see why this can never work and leads to a thousand problems.
