It's not so much that guys think women are confused. It's that women confuse us. And worse: Often take pride in doing so.
Personally, I no longer care to play guessing games or 20 Questions around what a woman does or doesn't want, or may or may not mean. I'm not even fond of "coy" that much, anymore, although I used to be challenged by a woman's exhibiting it. All in all, for me, anything along those lines is a monumental waste of time. The energy and effort I'd spend trying to sort out where things are or might be, or where I do or don't stand with a woman who does such, is all taken away from actually getting somewhere with someone else who's more clear on how I, personally, fit into her life.
All of which, I'd imagine, goes to explain why I'm single. In affairs of the heart, I have a VERY low tolerance for ambiguity or ambivalence.
