Actions are what matter. Woman may like to think they are attracted to different things than they actually are. And the same may be true for men. We rationalize what we feel and experience, possibly distorting it. So while we may all be trying to answer these questions honestly, we may be putting out wrong information.
Doesn't mean Shadix is right. But I don't buy into the "All woman here said [...] so therefore [...]"-line.

This is complete BS. To say that women don't really know what they want, that's the same mentality that argues a woman means yes when she says no. When I said I'd prefer someone thoughtful over someone charismatic, I absolutely meant it, and I know because I've been there. Don't presume to tell me that I don't understand my own emotions.
In fact, there's more to be said that men aren't in touch with their feelings than women. However since I don't feel like doing any research right now, I'll just say that's my opinion.
Next time you want to may such a broad sweeping statement, please cite a study that says that, because I guarantee there's no such study that says women don't intellectually understand their emotions.
All you're doing is helping the OP wallow in his contempt and misery for himself by reaffirming his skewed views of social interactions.
