In general there are a few simple rules, but to get specific you have to know the woman you are trying to woo.
General rules are:
1. Value Women need to know they are valued for more than just a romp in the hay. What that means is as nice is it is to know that you are attracted to us physically, that you also recognize there is more to us.
2. Recognizing our need to nurture It is inborn in many of us just like your need to protect we need to nurture. It won't make you unmanly if you aren't always the tough guy. Actually trying to shut off your emotions and not let it show is a turn off to us. As much as we love your big strong arms around us when we are scared we need to kiss away your hurts too.
3. Our aversion to violence Okay, we will understand your need to watch wrestling or cheer at the guy slamming his opponent into the boards during a hockey game, but that is where it stops. We aren't into watching you in a bar fight or do we think you're tough even if it is to defend our honour.
4. Respect respect us and all women in general no hitting, calling names or pushing, even if it is about your ex who slept with your sister's boyfriend.
Now on to the specifics:
Women get better with time at picking a potential mate. What does that mean? The older we get the less superficial we become. So if you are going for the below thirty women, looks, money and power are all powerful aphrodisiacs to the female gender.
Attracting the under 30 women:
1. Taking care of the physical, work out those muscles.
2. Even if you don't have a good job yet at least is in the pursuit of one. If that means going to college to become a dentist we will be impressed.
3. Being the alpha male of your group. The guy that all other guys go to for advice and want to hang with.
Attracting woman over 30
1. Taking care of yourself physically, most women in this group may not mind the few extra pounds or if you aren't the buffest guy in the gym, or even if you go to the gym, but if you are spending Friday nights at the all you can eat buffets and Saturday nights on the couch with a bag of chips watching football we won't be so attracted.
2. Not afraid to take on the physical Even if you are a doctor or lawyer, nothing may be more attractive than a guy with his shirt off mowing the lawn or chopping wood or playing rugby rather than watching it.
3. Taking care of your personal appearance You don't have to have a head full of hair or be built like Arnold in the Terminator but if you come pick us up for a date with stained or smelly clothes, bad breath, gunk in your teeth, smelling like dog pee or one too many beers, or any other signs of being next to homeless we will run in the opposite direction.
4. Letting us know that you think we are hot, hot, hot. The biggest turn on to a woman is knowing that she is wanted. Hold on though not in a vulgar way at least not until we know that you want us in other ways first.
5. Being comfortable for whom you are and not try to be something you are not.
The bottom line which is a two way street, we are often attracted to those who are have the same interests and lifestyles as us. If you are trying to attract a very healthy lifestyle person who runs marathons on week-ends and eats vegan, while you like Saturday Barbeques with 4 inch thick steaks and drinking beer with the guys then maybe you need to rethink what the attraction is and if it has any chance of working out. Doing a bit of investigative work before contact helps (not stalking though). Find out what she likes is the key to how to attract her. She walks her dog every Sunday morning in the park you know she likes walking, dogs and parks. She goes to the gym three times a week; you know that physical fitness is important to her. Finding her interests is the best way to finding out what attracts her specifically.
On the other hand there are more do not's than dos when it comes to attracting a woman. When you first notice someone of the opposite sex you both have pretty empty slates so you fill in the blanks to what you don't know about them. People become disillusioned when they start seeing glaring differences in how the perceived the person and who the person really is. So when wanting to become more attractive to a woman you need to make sure you don't scare her away before you convince her that you are the one for her.
