Discussion in all my relationships: “I just want you to listen to me, not try to fix the problem!”. I think I’ll just go for the guys next time I hear that…
tbh the only reason I told my girlfriend to stop giving me advice when I’m upset is that she sucks at it. She only gives me obvious advice I already thought of and it’s really annoying.

They’re only saying that because your suggestions aren’t good enough. Keep trying to solve their problems, you’ll get it eventually.
It also might be he’s not assertive enough. It’s not enough to tell them what to do, you also have to pressure them constantly to take your advice.

I mean, that is a legit and valid criticism/request. Have you ever tried just listening?
it’s not about the nail
