> Men exaggerate and women play it down
男人浮誇，女人含蓄。
Other translations of "exaggerate" include 吹噓, 誇大, or even 張揚 depending on the context.
Other translations of "play it down" include 平實, 淡化, or even 不張揚 depending on the context.
Personally, I would serious question the universality of the claim that "women play it down." When the conversation is about their kids or love lives, women can exaggerate as much as men about their gadgets and hobbies.
