You're right that often women don't really know what they want or like (hence, I agree to not put much weight in what they say).
But then you seem to assume that their behavior is almost random... so just be yourself and one day you'll be lucky.
No frigging way: female behavior may often seem random because it's driven mostly by emotions and instincts (NOT reason), but it's not "mysterious". If you learn a lot about women, you understand what makes them tick.
There's "logic in their madness" ;-) but you need to learn their own "logic" (it's quite different from men's). One can begin with psychology, evolutionary psychology, and "rational Red Pill" (as opposed to the "hysterical" and women-hating RP).
