Women: While they are indeed deeply confusing due to the game they play and their common trait of not really being into nice guys, I am in no way mad at them. They play those games to attempt to weed out the hundreds of ass holes who would fuck them and hurt them, and it is also because of general trust issues created either by our male run society or by encounters with the aforementioned ass holes that they don't trust or desire nice guys (fear of being hurt anyone). Plus, at the end of the day, they're so beautiful and oddly charming I can't help but adore them, hence why I'm not sucking every cool guy I knows dick, and am less likely to show them attention than I am a beautiful and charming woman.
Men: We're generally dicks, no, seriously, we get off on it, it gives us a laugh, and some of us like to be dicks to women in fucked up ways. That said, I love my brothers in the human race, we all share this odd instant bond if we meet each other in the right mood, and hanging with your best male friends getting into some crazy adventure is as much fun as life can get really.
That said, I think it all comes down to our hormones. Men, well we get testosterone, which makes us want to beat the shit out of anyone who would touch something we deem as ours (women, bar stools, characters in fighting games, seriously name it and men have fought over it, thats why we have wars for fucks sake), and it also makes us want to fuck, like a lot. Ladies: Picture how you feel when you're ovulating, you know, when you're really horny before your period. Now picture that shit all the time, that's being a guy, and fuck our lives for how distracting it is. I'd love to quit staying up all night worrying about this cute girl in my class, or I'd love to not ditch my studying to get drinks with a cute girl I met at a festival, but I'm still gonna do it and I really can't help it at all. Not fun... Well, okay, sometimes it's fun.
As for women they get estrogen, and it makes them very sympathetic, and loving. This often leads to heartbreak at a young age (when the boys with the will and skills to approach women are only interested in one thing, or the men are older and again only interested in one thing), which leads to the trust issues I mentioned earlier. Honestly I love how empathetic women are, and it's worth breaking through the natural barriers they put up to get close to them.
My advice to the guys is as follows: Be more considerate of how hard it is to be a woman these days. If you don't think sexism still exists then you're not paying attention, and it swings in our favor. Mix that with how horny every guy is, and how it's likely every girl has been deeply hurt by a first love (no seriously, I've had hundreds of conversations with different women, and they all had this), and just cut them some slack. If you really want the love of a woman your best bet is to be her friend first, put yourself in the friend zone before she can, and then show her why she should be with you. Along the way you might figure out why you want her, and any time I've seen this happen it ends happily. Plus female friends usually lead to more female friends.
Also, if you don't want that, be honest with yourself and them and don't go for a relationship: It's 2012, most of the prudes have died off and the concept of casual sex is a lot more common. With no heart strings attached everything tends to go smoother, and I've also had some great relationships blossom out of this.
I have no advice for the women, other than to trust their instincts and be considerate (and careful) of how absurdly fucking horny we are. I've had so many female friends prance around in absurdly revealing outfits in front of me while they're dating friends, almost physically painful to resist (though that girl and I did later hook up after she broke up with my friend, I guess that was an open chance really, but even then it's not fair to tempt my morals).
That said, I will never complain about a beautiful woman prancing around in a revealing outfit, so I guess I take that last bit back.
To everyone: Good luck, and I hope you find someone you can love, and who can love you.
