I don't think I'll ever understand women. It's like one huge gender of "WTF?"
 
I'm not. You have difficulties understanding one woman. Maybe two or three at the most, I don't know. But not the entire female population.
So instead of thinking "WTF, women?", you should be thinking about getting to understand that particular woman.
 
It's not about gender, it's about relationships. Thing start getting complicated there.
All my male friends may think I'm cool and a great buddy, but I'm sure that all men I've ever been in a relationship with, thought of me as a 'WTF' at one point. And it's mutual.
 
Of course it is. It just feels so much more comfortable if you pretend that you can't do anything about it.
 
I, most of the time look at myself in terms of failures to understand behaviour. I'm possibly one of the most complicated people you can ever run into. I calculate my every move, put too much thought in them (I can talk about the logic, psychological aspects and everything behind even for a basic act like switching the channel on TV), do everything logically and then complain about not being someone loved despite caring so much about others. I'm too tough to understand and I have no doubt it gets annoying to some. Knowing how complicated and annoying I can get, I try to search for solutions on myself while dealing with failures to understand others' behaviour.
 
What I have found is, typically, people look at others responses and try to interpret them based on how they, themselves, would. That will usually end up poorly. It's not a matter of actually finding fault in oneself or someone else, but understanding how a person will respond given a certain circumstance. I'll respond completely differently to a situation than my best friend will... but knowing that, I can accept how she responds and not take it as something negative.

Human interaction is the most difficult thing in the world when you have some emotional attachment. As my friend says, 'take your ego out of the equation and look at it objectively'. Taking the ego out is the hard part :)
