Meh, I think women can give good advice on this too, as long as they're honest about it. And also, I know what's worked for me, so I'm going to disregard that "women don't give good advice" comment and just give some.
Okay, it's really easy to get a woman, it's not so easy to keep one though. Women can be just as fickle as men. So when it comes to wanting to be with a particular woman for an extended period of time there are some obvious do's and don't's. Seems like creole's already covered it pretty well but I'll just reiterate a bit because I feel like it:
1. Don't talk about yourself too much. It's arrogant and, although arrogance may initially attract a woman, after she gets to know you and the excitement of being with a new guy who is an arrogant type wears off: you're just going to end up boring her.
2. Goes hand in hand with the above suggestion: listen to HER. I know that sounds really obvious but men often suck at this. Don't just sit there and blankly listen either, give her feedback. Seem involved but let her do the majority of the talking. Honestly, women love to talk about themselves as much (arguably more) than men love to talk about
themselves. So be an open ear with a brain connected.
3. Don't be overbearing or confining. If you're too jealous and possessive you'll make her feel stifled. Minor jealousy on occasion can be appealing to a woman, it makes us feel appreciated and we think it's cute. If you are doing it in an overboard way though, it makes us feel like you don't trust us or that you don't think of us as independent enough to govern our own lives.
4. DON'T check out other women in front of us. Most women find that incredibly rude and most women don't check out other men in front of their mates or prospective mates so why should you get a free pass to do it to us? It's disrespectful and makes us question whether you're even worth it.
5. Be commanding, take some control here and there, for some reason that's attractive. But at the same time you also can't take complete control all the time, because that will lead to her feeling that you don't respect her opinions. It's a delicate balance that should be exercised to the particular needs of the woman, which requires you reading her for what she specifically wants. Obviously, all women are different, so in a way giving advice about this is somewhat ridiculous since there is no blanket right way to do anything.
6. Don't try to make your move too soon, even if she seems receptive, because if you wait a little bit longer and make her question herself she'll become more attracted to you. For whatever reason, we want what we can't have. If you play cool and don't rush things we'll wonder why you aren't rushing things and whether or not you're even attracted to us. And for a lot of women that reads as a challenge.
That's all I can come up with off the top of my head.
