Men can be equally indecisive (Madonna/Whore Complex).

Also, I just thought I might make note of a study my Anthropology professor brought up in my class. They found that women tend to go for the "Sensitive/Nurturing" type when choosing a lifetime mate and during times that they weren't ovulating/fertile (yeah, yeah smartass you already knew that, but did you know...). However, they found that when they were at their most fertile, they preferred more masculine, agressive men ("Alpha male"). And, they found that there were far more women who gave birth to a child whose father was not the woman's husband than they thought there would be. Most of the husbands in the study who had been cheated on weren't aware that they were raising a child that was biologically not theirs.

I don't think it's that we're always indecisive about what we want. Research tells us that our menstrual cycle influences our preferences in men. It also tells us women tend to dress sexier as they become more fertile and less sexy when they are less fertile. (See: The Human Animal, Desmond Morris)
