[Seth Jackson] I'm not disagreeing, Seth (I think lots of people don't know what they want!) But I think we can safely say that men don't know what women want either. For one thing, women are almost certainly not homogeneous in their desires. From what I have observed (in myself and others -- this is not a sweeping generalization, so if you don't think it applies to you, don't flame me!), women always think they want nice men, but for some reason, they are attracted to not-so-nice men at first. At some point, though, almost every woman gets really sick of these shitheads and then (hopefully) she can meet a nice guy and get on with her life. It's just that if a nice guy meets a woman before she's hit this point, it's probably hopeless (again, this is just from my experience, but I've seen it happen again and again). marie desjardins park
