Each woman is different and will want and will look for different qualities in a man. It all comes down to the woman at the end of the day and what she wants.
"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

You guys are all missing the most important thing: respect. No, not that you respect her, that she respects you.
If you are very physically attractive she will respect you. She will makes presumptions (e.g. that you are confident) about you based on those looks; if those presumptions don't hold true she will lose interest despite your looks.
Even if you are not considered good looking, if she sees through whatever relationship you have (e.g. co-worker) that you are THE ****ING MAN (e.g. super confident, or the guy who doesn't get phased by **** when other guys lose their cool, etc.) she will feel respect for you.
A woman who does not respect you will not have sex with you. She certainly will not want a "relationship" (dating, marriage) with you. If she is indifferent she might or might not have sex with you. If she inherently respects, in effect looks up to you, she will want you to bang the hell out of her.

Nothing is really absolute in life.
PUAs talk about career, looks, confidence, status, financial security, etc. which obviously are all virtues. But not all women or people in general value career success, or social status. I think career success is fine and a good path for self-actualisation, but I wouldn't say person A who is a CEO or VP is inherently better than person B who is car salesman or a store sales assistant.
People basically overcomplicate dating and what women want. Simply be yourself, know what/who you want, and all will fall into place.

I dunno, does that depend on her age, maturity and environment? What you are saying ideally should be the case if she doesn't have a lot of friends around her to influence her decisions, because there is peer pressure like in the movies- like she's really nice but she has a best friend who is a total cow- rather like Angela in American Beauty, who controls her thoughts and actions.perseverance said:

Women want a Man that other men want to be, and other women want to ƒuck.
"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
I have never had sex. One poster responded to my post once that I was in a rut because women more my age (23-25) wouldn't want to have sex with a virgin.nismo-4 said:
Well, I couldn't have sex when I was any younger, because the girls I encountered at 18-20s were tough and just not interested- I mean I was depressed, and insecure also and things but that didn't matter- so it doesn't matter.
