Generally speaking, do women know women (how they think, what they want, what they like, etc...) better or do men know women better?

Guys, keep in mind the key word: "Better"
Who knows what women like better: men or women?
Men usually. Women NEVER F*CKING KNOW what women want, even amongst themselves. I learned that the hard way. Even when just stating what their own preferences are, women usually get it wrong as soon as you point out their exes that go against what they claim they want in personality. The only consistent thing women usually get right is looks; women tend to want the same height and looks requirements in men.
But if you ask a man what women want, he won't give you BS answers that women claim they're into that don't matter ("sense of humor, nice and gentlemanly, dresses well," etc.), just so women can avoid looking shallow or bad in public. He'll just give you the straight truth. Women on the other hand, just say things that "sound good" but aren't true, which is why most men don't need a sense of humor in order to get a girl and why being nice to a woman is irrelevant and scumbags like Pete Davidson can get so many "attractive" looking women.
Women aren't 100% wrong about what they claim they want, but as I said, it's only on the superficial stuff, like wanting tall men, men with abs, handsome men, successful men, etc. When it comes to personality and depth, they're usually wrong like 90% of the time.
Again, I learned through experience. Men... NEVER listen to what women claim they want in a man, unless every other single woman agrees with her. They usually don't even know what they want in a man, besides the external superficial stuff. And I even wrote about this in detail, just for all the women to disagree with each other in the comments.
OP is a borderline fourth wave feminist/Karen though, so I know she's going to say some BS at me. Don't care, though.

Isn't the answer obviously women? Like how men know what other men want better?
i'm here to tell ya. women don't know WHAT the hell they want. they THINK they do but they don't. and most of the time what they think they want doesn't even exist. like unicorns. women LOVE unicorns. not real.
women know how they FEEL. not what they want. because there is no correlation between feelings and things. except for ice cream. women want to feel good. ice cream makes you feel good. therefore women want ice cream.
if there was a man made out of ice cream that women could both have sex with and eat, women would want that. 200%. guaranteed. again- doesn't exist.
women want a man to be masculine and a leader. but they don't like letting him be in charge. see? doesn't exist.
women NEVER know what they want. men at least SOMETIMES know what women want. i tell ya there's nothing that makes me wetter than a man who knows what i want and gives it to me.
like reaching around and ripping my blouse open as he's railing me bent over the hood of the car next to the corn field on a quickie before dinner at the 'rents. the look my mom gave me when i asked her to fix my buttons was SO worth it.

generally speaking? okay...
a great kind of man would know better, why?
because women, as individuals they might know what they want as individuals, however...
a man, as the men he is, he could have dedicated his life to be with women, but not just one woman... maybe a few, so not only he knows what that woman wants, but other women as well (given that he is a dedicated men of course, and not an idiot uncapable of learning a thing) so such men will know more, about more and different kind of women
if you ask me... "what do men want Nathan?" well, I know what I want... but I really can't tell you what all other four billion men want, there is a whole lot different types of men out there, and many of them are really twisted and into all kinds of weird too, but the vast majority are more normal yet they're still different than me
now let's go with a real life example, if you @LazerBean are in a relationship right now, why on earth would I know better than YOU about what your husband or boyfriend wants, or why would I know better about what your ex-boyfriends wanted or needed, or liked...
I just don't know better than you, because I've never actually been with them... now the things in which your partners and I might have been very similar, those would be few, and those would also be very basic things...
but only women like you would actually know a lot more, and also know a lot better
if we say that generally speaking, a woman knows better what other women want, and the same with men... we are only implying that all of us men and women are very simple basic creatures with no depth at all... and that is not true
the one who knows BETTER what a woman or women wants, are those who dedicate to actually get to know them, and those are usually, the men in their lives (the good kind, not the idiotic ones) -
Pretty open question... could go tons of different directions with this. I WILL say this though. If she's feeling indecisive just show a little attention and do something or say something that shows YOU are gonna take charge and DO something... If that ain't what she wanted you will know... and rather quickly usually... I guess we all doalittle of that sometimes. BOTH sexes.

It's very difficult to generalise, as some men have an acute understanding of women whereas others have no clue. Some women, particularly those who gave up their femininity trying to prove they had bigger balls than men, also understand other women very well, but usually they use that understanding to use and ditch them in places of work.
It's also situational. It stands to reason that women who have given birth will understand what a woman wants during childbirth better than men who will never undergo such activities.
However, equally, when it comes to what a woman wants from a man, in general, successful men will know that far better than other women, particularly those women who've never been fulfilled in a relationship with a man to date.
The answer to the question is: 'It depends...'
-
I would say that men- certain men- know better what women want than women themselves. It's because these men have interacted with, and been successful with enough women to know that women's self-perception is way off.
What women say they want is NOT what they actually want, and this is why so few guys are successful with women, because a vast majority of them try to give women what they say they want "a nice guy, who is respectful, and treats them well."
That doesn't work. Women will fk a dominant guy, who they can brag to their friends about (money, height, etc.).
-
Honestly, I believe it depends on the observational skills of a person. A husband/boyfriend can be really good at their roles simply by observing micro-emotions on their woman's face and body language. The same can be said for women and their men.
But since women are inherently good at spotting small changes and things, I believe that women are able to understand women better than men. Usually. Not necessarily compulsory.

Most women have no idea what they want because they want to present and think of themselves as perfect little angels who can do no wrong. So they twist their own desires around with what's socially acceptable, not realizing they're just mentally substituting one "preference" for another. Example: they want a man who's funny, but all that really means is attractive. Get an ugly bastard to tell her a joke; she won't think it's funny at all. Get a hot man to tell the same joke, and she'll laugh her head off. All she did was use humor as a substitute for looks. But she'll tell you in a heartbeat that she's not shallow

Nope. Some men and women do. I like Mark Manson's point of how many women want a feeling rather than a thing. They'll rationalize a thing to be the probable avenue to the feeling, but we're all bad at that.
Like in relationships, they want to be desired. Regarding creepiness of guys, it's not a discrete list of things that makes a dude creepy, but a feeling that is completely subjective.
Men just usually chase a thing instead of a feeling. So it's more straightforward for us.
Vlose riends who are willing to speak hard truths are the most reliable people to answer what a woman wants. -
I feel this question is always rather paradoxical in a way. My personal opinion is a woman would understand the thought process of another woman and (sympathize better) whereas a man will see what she wants in an entirely different perspective and could potentially give her insight (for the better) that another woman could not for the sake of her being biased. However a man will never think like a woman, and a woman wouldn't think like a man so it comes down to nobody but the individual who "wants" would know, we are all only human after all, not mind readers.āļø

Nobody knows not even women. They think they know, they act like they know. And usually do know, until they don't or something changes.
Men usually know, but you can't tell a women that you know what they want or they won't want it even when they need it. Then will complain that they can't find what the need or want. -
Does anyone really know what women like? I mean a man can learn to understand a woman but he can´t understand them all. There are guys that have an overall basic understanding of women in general but women understand their fundamental wishes and expectations better than guys.

There is saying it here in India in one movie women can't be understable not even God can understand a women also I listen somewer that women Mostly watch les por. And girls can kiss each other but boy don't do that boys most not satisfied each other may girl do

Are we talking sexually know? Or just in general who knows who?
-
Reason Iāve always hung out with men. Woman donāt even know what woman want. Men are easier to be around. lol
-
What people say they want and actually want are often shockingly different.
For example when asked most people say they want a rich dark roast coffee, but when offered a blind taste test they like a light blonde roast.
In short most people, man or woman, have a fairly ill considered notion of what they actually want and like in most spheres. To actually know takes introspection and experience. -
āonly women understand other women and thatās why they all hate each otherā Al Bundy 🤣

Neither. Whomever has the most life experience knows best. Iāve dated myriad women from all walks of life. I have experience with many personalities. Iāve read a lot about women. Yes, when I was a kid Iād read my sisters girlie magazines.
All my guy friends Iāve seen have gfs and some had bfs. I got to see things from different perspectives. -
I said D because I think that applies to everyone. We usually know what we want , but sometimes we end up changing our minds. We think we want one thing, and then end up wishing that we had done something else.

The answers you'll get are gonna based on anecdotes. There are men and women who knows what women want and there are men and even women who don't know what they want (specially those women who don't even know what they want for themselves and expect men to be mind readers all the time).
