Definitely it's gonna vary by person, by a lot of it is about approach.

It's still always going to be better to ask someone if they want you to complete a specific task, rather than what you can do to help.

This also probably varies by culture as some people are not comfortable saying no to offers of help, even if they don't want it.

Everyone is different, and everyone has different experiences, so definitely be mindful of all of these things in how you approach this.

That being said, many American men in particular seem to be guilty of this lack of thought, thinking they are be useful by offering help but not realizing that managing them is its own task. Or worse, and and not offering help at all, and defending it by saying things like "well you never asked for help".
