“Male” and “female” are also used as distancing language by police and military, particularly for people who are suspected culprits or for people who are about to be killed.
Precisely. OOPS. This isn’t the Pit. Nevermind.
No, I mean fitness INDICATORS, different from just fitness. Fitness indicators are what the mate in any species looks for as a sign that the other is good for mating. The fitness indicator (F.I.) of several species include: the height at which an eagle can fly, the aesthetics of a bower birds nest, the alpha of several species etc. One of the unique traits a human has is their mind. and it has been thought the mind is man’s F.I. especially when humor, intelligence, confidence, and being interesting are generally thought attractive to women.
I’ve heard many men use “no fat chicks” as a screening device. Personally, I like fat and thin, but there you go. Women tend to hear a fella say “females” and conclude that he is a loser the same way. Hide, just a little bit, the fact that you consider a woman someone to fuck, suck, clean and cook and you may get as far as far as the first two. Not having an attitude at all about it is an opening to being a grown up.
Duh! It’s simple: as a species, we aren’t all attracted to the same things. On one hand, you have men who clearly have their own unique preferences because they’re all individuals.
And then on the other hand, you have females who like whatever it is females like.
I tried “up up down down left right left right b a” but she just slapped me.
To OP:
These aren’t the women’s opinions you’re looking for.
Jedi hand wave.
I’m vaguely recalling a study I read about awhile back (sorry I don’t have a link) that suggested women are often attracted the macho, bad boy type type while ovulating, but prefer the steady, reliable guy otherwise, assuming all the other factors are within the ballpark range like looks, intelligence, income, height and so forth. Not unlike how a guy might get turned on by a porn star type but wouldn’t want to marry her.
Hey, a woman reserves the right to change her mind! 
Oi, Gateway.
I guess that fits the cliche of the woman who is married to the millionaire, but is screwing the pool boy.
The author of that article is attractive to this female (person).
That three part comic on the second page is exactly what I am talking about. Make a woman laugh and you may just charm her into your bed. 
The evolutionary logic here would be the instinct to secure the best genes for one’s offspring as well as the best material security. If it is not available from a single man, then instincts are perfectly willing to take the genes from the “bad boy” and the security from the reliable guy.
Being a chick/female myself, I can agree that there is no ONE answer that applies to all of us, but here’s the best advice I have for dudes:
Most women - heck, most people - like a partner who has money. Make financial stability a priority.
On an individual basis, some women may not care about money (I make enough money myself that I ended up marrying a guy who doesn’t make that much because he has other traits I value/need more than additional money), but on average, money is the one most reliable way that guys can make themselves more attractive. Even I certainly would say that, all other things being equal, it would have been NICE it if my partner had more money even if it wasn’t a dealbreaker that he didn’t.
Try to cultivate a sense of humor. Humor is attractive to most people. The problem is that different people find different things funny, and if you are not naturally funny, it is really hard to intentionally become funny. But you could try taking improv classes or something if you wanted to try to become funnier.
Other than those two things - humor and money - I don’t think there is any consistent formula. Some women value being “nice”/sensitive, but others prefer macho guys. Some women find certain physical traits attractive yet others don’t.
If you’re not able to work on acquiring more money or becoming funnier, all you can do is just a trial and error effort of dating around until you find someone who wants to be with you.
What isn’t attractive to females:
Being weirdly analytical and collecting PRO TIPS on how to optimize your build to efficiently harvest vagina points.
I went through the list he created of attractiveness indicators and rated my husband (as a stranger would rate him). I ended up with:
7 “yes”
2 “no”
5 “meh”
If money had been on the list, it would’ve been a “no” as he didn’t have any. I am confused and saddened by how much a bankroll matters to other people. Maybe I have too romantic a view of love. My man doesn’t have to have lots of money, just work steadily and not be in debt.
Anyway, decent indicator that you can be mediocre or fail half the list and still find someone who loves you, so long as you don’t reek or shamble around talking about “raping females”.
Requiring that he be working steadily and not have debt is counting money as important.
I tried it this morning too. I got a laugh, told I was a geek, and then I got a kiss. Curious. This unpredictable and non-consistent output of female behavior despite using the same inputs is highly illogical. Have you upgraded to the latest version of female and run all of the service packs?
My bolding. So, if I want to attract females I just need to turn into a gay?
I find females with a low sense of esteem or self-worth will take on just about any dude they find. All you have to do is get to know lots of different groups of women and there’s almost a 100% certainty one in every group will be single and feel bad about themselves. A few kind words from you and you’ll be doing the pants dance quicker than you can say ‘Shall I call you a taxi?’.
Yes, please.
