A new Princeton study confirms what pretty much everyone already knew. Men think women Want It more often than they do. And the less men are Getting It, the more deluded they are about whether women are signalling that they Want It.
Of course, the ramifications of that latter aren’t determined by the study. Is it that men are so interested in Getting It, they over-perceive women Wanting It? Is it that men who are Getting It enough are less over-eager to think women Want It? Or is it that the men who are good at perceiving when women Want It end up Getting It?

Don’t forget the “men not ‘getting it’ that women Want It, because men don’t expect to Get It,” factor, too.
I used to have this problem on the bus downtown. My impression is when a woman “dresses up” that she expects, at least to some degree, a compliment. The answer seems actually to be that she wants acknowledgement without the “burden” of compliments from people she doesn’t know.
