Why do women complain about men "not knowing what they want" ?

[RangerMIke]

Generally speaking, women really don't care what men want. They care about what they want and how a man helps them attain their desires. But to be honest, men are the same way, both partners work to have their needs met, while compromising when possible or necessary. But it is true that women are more like this then men, first in part because they are masters of emotional manipulation.... and women have more options and in most cases are in a power position.

When a person says, "I don't know what my partner wants." What is really going on is they cannot figure out how to manipulate them, or form a basis for compromise.

To explain this... imagine you are a car salesman... and a customer comes in... and that customer will not tell you what they are looking for, the customer is just sitting there and not responding to your questions... you want to sell the car, but if the customer is not telling you what their motivations are... it's impossible to emotionally manipulate them.

If a woman wants to drive a man crazy, then all she has to do is not care what a man gives her: if a man wants to drive a woman crazy then all he has to do is indicate they do not care about sex... or put out the vibe that they can get sex anywhere they want. Men expect that women will respond to gifts and things you do for her (generally ungrateful) ... and if this isn't working most men do not know what to do about it. If a man gives an indication, they do not care about getting sex from her... well... that is her principal trade good.

For years now i've been hearing women complain that "men don't know what they want" or saying describing "men who know what they want" as a desirable trait they look for. What's even more puzzling is that single mothers seem to say this even more, as well as older women near or post wall.

Everyone knows what men want. We want sex. What's there to understand? What's really going on here? Is this just some kind of cope to explain the fact that they have deluded themselves into thinking a Chad would want to wife them up but get frustrated that he pumps and dumps them?

When women say "men don't know what they want" it always comes after realizing she can't lock him down and he won't commit.

A man that knows what he wants is a man that is as attracted to her and she is to him and wants to have a relationship deeper than sex.

Just another example of women not wanting to be responsible for their own shortcomings.

What they actually mean is "men who want what we want them to want". In other words, men who want single moms, post-wall women and other assorted leftovers.

As was noted earlier, this is uttered by women sleeping with dudes above their SMV, it’s a way to justify that they cannot get commitment from a privateer that wanted to plunder their booty and no more.

Just smile and wave boys…smile and wave.

because women want and expect men to know and do everything for them

This is about the the typical woman whose boyfriend doesn't want to marry her.

Take a cue from Johnny here

0:58-1:02 , in other words. Minus the eventual whiskey and sleeping tablets, of course...
