intrigued / puzzled by this thread because I have never experienced or noticed this. I feel like the men and women I talk to are roughly equivalent in interpersonal curiosity?

i am pretty down with a lot of the stereotypical ways men can't 'satisfy' women; not as emotionally in tune, wants higher novelty in mate choice, bad at picking up underwear or whatever. I've come to terms with all that, celebrate differences! except for one thing

If anything, I would have guessed this skewed the opposite direction based on my own experiences. Which leads me to suspect it isn't gendered at all and is just a lot of anecdotal miscommunications on what is a curious/superficial question, how and how much to communicate etc.

What's your gender? || When in relationships, do you tend to have an active, ongoing curiosity about your partner's thoughts and emotional states, to the degree that you ask them a lot of questions - clarifications and hypotheticals, that do a lot of digging/exploring/probing?

Sure, but what I'm getting at is what respondents consider "probing" or "curious". How does someone who frequently says, "how do you feel?" compare to someone who infrequently asks something like "Why do you feel like this about X?"
