I don't think women understand women.
I think this is very true. As someone who has spent their life with women, friends, a mostly female family, I can say I am no closer to understanding women than the Average Joe. I think mainly it has to do with a simple divide between beings.
I once said that how the genders work is equivalent to their genitalia. If you remember those pictures in health class of the reproductive system, the man's unit is external and simple; a shaft and minor plumbing. It's all out there, you can see how it works. Men's needs tend to be simple, their thought process logical. As Tigerstyle puts it, observable behavior leads to a result. A woman's workings are all internal. I have even gone so far as you say, as complex as a capucinno machine. There are all kinds of internal twists and cauldesacs, it's wild! (the crude portion of the statement explained that's why women go to the restroom in groups, because they need a friend to steam the milk and tamp the grounds.)
Men are logical beings; a + b should = c. Women seem to be more emotional beings; A is having a really rough day, and maybe her friends G,H, and J are all having babies and getting married, which means plussing B has just not been the same lately. And how will you feel once you have a bunch of little 'c's running around. Or how will B feel being reduced to a simple equation? Is C really what you want, or should you have put more focus on your career. Maybe what A needs is some Hagen Das and time alone to watch her stories.
To bring it back to Lucky's post, they have just done studies on the long term emotional damage women can have on each other, from the adopting of behavioral abuse from a young age, to the continued pressure and collaborative expressions of frustration and problems. I personally found it quite interesting. Women having female friends can even be detrimental to the bonds of friendship, as for some reason the environment causes a gap when advice isn't followed, or seemingly ignored. I think that's why if two girls are seperated for a long period of time, they seem to have a hard time healing that friendship. Two guys, if put in the same room after not talking to each other for even up to a decade can still have friendly conversation with their friends, falling back into such a relationship as if time has never passed.
So, that's my attempt at why women seem unfathomable. I could get into Ladder Theory again to explain why the "nice guys" who attempt to couple with women seem to get the short end of the stick, but I have done so in three posts now and it's getting redundant. You can look that up yourself.
