No-one seems to know, certainly not the women who pretend the question displays a supposed masculine cluelessness. Why claim it's just men who are ignorant ? The truth of the matter is that even women don't know what they want. They're notoriously good at disguising their own motives from themselves. It helps that there's so little definite to disguise.
What women want mostly seems to have to do with men, or some particular man -- in short, with "relationships." If everything is relational, though, so that everything depends on everything else, then things become so muddled by setting, mood, mixed feelings, and the habit of angling situations to fit shifting strategies of self-positioning that in the end there's really nothng definite enough to discuss.
