Well of course women are more mysterious than the rest of the universe. Physical law has to make rational sense and have some degree of predictability. Women not so much...

If I ever meet a woman I understand, I will know that the Matrix is now broken and I can go punch a wall with Kung Fu and remain unharmed.
Chance of this happening I rate at 0.0001%.
(The one is because I might go as crazy, then actually understand females)

Yeah I wonder why

A nurse who cared for Professor Stephen Hawking claimed last night that she saw his wife abusing and mistreating him.

Elaine Hawking called her disabled 62-year-old husband a cripple, bathed him in water that was too hot and allowed him to wet himself, it was alleged.

The nurse was reported as saying: "She gets angry and has thrown him on the bed where he kicks his limbs or hurts himself. She allowed him to slip down low in the bath so the water goes in the hole in his throat.

"She has left him in the garden without his computer mouse so he cannot talk and call for anyone. She gives him lots of verbal abuse and calls him a cripple and an invalid, which depresses him.

"She would withhold the bottle he used to go to the toilet so he wet himself, which he does not like because he is a very dignified person and a very private person. The verbal abuse is unbelievable. Her mouth is like a sewer. We (his nurses) got so used to it we forgot it was not normal behaviour.
The nurse, who spoke to The Times on condition of anonymity, is one of ten former carers of Professor Hawking said to have been interviewed by police investigating claims of assault against him.

I have to agree with him.
I understand enough about them to realize I have no ability to retain rational thought while dating one.

Hawking already did that and determined that black holes have no hair.

TravisBickle62: They aren't a mystery, they just aren't very rational

They're as rational as we are, they just have different goals/desires.

For instance: It's perfectly rational why a girl cheats on a wuss with a jerk. She wants a male with high social standing and healthy kids. Women would rather be with a jerk than any wuss. She might date a wuss for a while, but eventually she'll get bored and go looking for a jerk. She'd rather be with a man who is not a jerk AND not a wuss, but such men are hard to find. So they choose jerks.

Consciousness is given too much emphasis. Very little of what we do is driven by reason or thinking. We are no meat machines driven around by cherubs. We're ALL MEAT. The meat does the thinking. Flawed meat = flawed thinking.

What makes it worse is that we evolve for a world that no longer exists.

They don't matter because I don't go shopping with the girlfriends and drink fruity booze and cry while watching Grey's Anatomy and then confuse men with feminine giggling while stealing their credit cards. I'm drunk and Canadian and betting on hockey games and I keep reading everything in Hunter S. Thompson's voice.
