A guy will atleast let you know, it may be harsh at the time but there's no dancing around. Why do women do this?

In a way, you answered your own question. Women do this because men are generally more straight up about these situations and therefore the women are subjected to these "harsh" realities. The women recognize how much it hurt them to hear that, so when it comes time to deal with the situation in reverse, they compensate for it by dancing around the truth. They don't think about how it will effect things in the long run, they simply focus on protecting the men's feelings from being hurt at that moment.
I'd like to think that as both sides grow more mature, these two sides blend together and everyone deals with these situations similarly. That is, being honest and straight-forward about your feelings while considering the other person's desires and then tailoring your response appropriately. Unfortunately, it seems obvious the average person doesn't ever reach that level of maturity.
