Humans are egocentric creatures driven by only three needs in life:
When we encounter something, no matter what, we instantaneously put them in one of the categories "fuckable", "providing food", "fightable".
If none of the categories fit, then human is completely disinterested.
When one of the categories fit, human will be interested and do anything necessary to do get the respective F.
When two categories fit, human will decide which need is more important atm, and then approach accordingly with slight alterations to their behavior in case the second need arises later.
When all three categories fit, whatever it is, keeping it will be top priority.
For a heterosexual man, women first and foremost fall into the category of "fuckable", so they will do anything to get 'it'.
The same goes for heterosexual women. Everything is fine as long as both have the same need at the same time.
Unfortunately, a lot of humans also fall under the category of "providing food" in as much as they either know how to procure or how to process it.
That, also, is perfectly fine - unless the priorities of the woman and the man are not in alignment, since for one person pursuing one goal while the other wants the other need to be satisfied proves to be extremely difficult.
Between men and women, the third category usually doesn't come into play, due to a) physical differences that make it unsatisfactory for both of them, and b) the fact that physical injuries pose a major obstacle in getting Fucks and Food from the person involved. That's why sane men usually search for other men to live out their aggressions with, and women start bitch-fights.
So, in order to be happy, decide which of the three needs you want to have fulfilled right now, and find a person who wants the same, then do it together and move on.
Anything else in the interaction between women and men is based on the above and involve redundant variations and gameplaying.
