Why are women so confusing? - What the fuck do they want? How do I read them?

Solution
Daily reminder that trans women are real women. So what do you mean by "women," sweaty? I'll report you to my lawyer and my Twitter feed for defamation and slander for the incorrect answer so choose wisely.

Probably something to do with the 4 different hormones that differ in levels throughout the month. It's common knowledge that hormones can genuinely influence you subtly, even without you really realizing it in the heat of the moment. I'm not saying that someone is going to be batshit insane because they have a handful more chemicals than the other gender, but I do think it can change things like how patient you are. Even among men, people in general are less patient before lunch. Judges that hear a sentencing before lunch break...

Even among men, people in general are less patient before lunch. Judges that hear a sentencing before lunch break are more likely to hand out harsher sentences. That's probably an example I can think of off the top of my head because patience is a concept that 99.999999% people aren't going to care to track. There's also a problem where someone might confuse answer at a bad experience for being impatient. I think it would be good study material, though.
 
Solution
I find that a lot of the stereotypes about "women being confusing" and such are highly exaggerated.

The only thing I would add is that women often seem to take longer to "make up their mind" about something (e.x. going on a date), and are more likely to change their mind if something new comes up.

Also there's no way to perfectly "read a person's mind" without communicating with them to some degree - most of the dime-a-dozen stuff about "body language" is highly speculative beyond the bare basic "signs of attraction" (and even if she shows "signs of attraction", that doesn't mean she's 100% set on going on a date or anything, since there are plenty of other unseen factors at play).
