Girls that I know tend to think with their hearts more than with their minds. I'm not saying that they're dumb (please no lynch mobs - I'm too young to die) but rather that they're more emotional thinkers than what guys are.
Here's one example that I've had, and paid for dearly (or at least my ears were dealt a tongue-lashing): I went to a friend and, in total concern for her, said, "Are you alright, Nikki? You look a little tired. " She turned to look at me with a look that instantly made me cringe. "Peter*, you NEVER tell a girl that! " and she proceeded to rant. I learned my lesson, and I had the tinnitus to prove it.
She took offense at something I said in concern for her because she took it to mean that she looked peaky, drawn, tired, ugly, miserable and anything else you can think of. *name changed to protect the not-so-innocent-yet-very-frightened.
