Seems like a generalisation. I’m a man and I’m more interested in people than in things for example.

How does this follow what you wrote before; I don’t see any connection tbh
If men are into things, then they likely are into abstractions, concepts, ideas, etc. Stories are one of these. I remember there's neurological evidence to back this up, but I have no links on me currently.
