What women consciously want, and what they actually desire are two completely different things. That is why relationship advice from women is typically so terrible.
See, women have this weird thing where they are dishonest with themselves. See, they all believe that they are these evolved, sensitive, caring, intelligent humans. They think they want to be respected, treated as an equal, and date someone who is intelligent, opem about their emotions, sensitive, wealthy, responsible, and polite. This is what society tells them they should want.
However, what actually gets them going are guys who are possessive, jealous, aggressive, cocky, distant, mysterious, sexy, hilarious, AND is desired by other women (the last one is the most important). This is what their biology tells them to want.
Here's the thing, the logical part of our brain is not the portion that makes decisions. The emotional, reptile brain always makes the true decision before the logic side gets a chance to weigh pros and cons.
What does this mean? Two things are a must no matter what: be funny and be confident. When someone's being a d*ck, defend her. Don't be afraid to get physical. Make sure she knows she's valued and protected. When the inevitable "where do you want to eat?" conversation comes up, don't ask her. Say "get in the car; I'll surprise you" and take her some place you both like. They like "spontaneity" and "assertiveness". Capitalize when you can.
Also, remember: women don't argue to be right, they argue to win. They use emotion to win. They wager that you value "not hurting them" over being right. You will need to balance these interests. Women, like toddlers, are emotional terrorists. They use their tears, they use "making a scene", they bring up the past just to hurt you, they may throw objects or punches, and they use tantrums to get their way. Sometimes, they're faking and putting on a show to get you to cave, but sometimes they're not and actually in pain. You need to learn the difference so you can make intelligent choices. You have to leverage your interests in winning verses how much relationship capital you're willing to lose.
Finally: men communicate to share information or solve problems. Women communicate to relieve stress and express intimacy. They share their problems (and all those stupid useless details about their day) with you to let you know they trust you and to relieve the stress of that day. They are venting, not trouble-shooting. See, men like to solve problems directly. Women generally do not. Women like to solve things on their own, typically in a back-handed and undercover way. Men just talk face to face or go fist to fist. Women don't want you to solve their problems. They just want someone to listen.
Women are like law school classes. They throw endless streams of bullshite at you and then hope you can sift through all of it to find and remember the tiny details you wanted/needed to take note of and remember, so you can act on them later.

To be trusted, you have to prove yourself worthy of trust. It's the same with both men and women. Both sides are always skeptical going in because there are so many crappy, duplicitous people out there. It develops an emotional callous.
The best example is the classic upset SO. Guy asks what's wrong. She replies "I'm fine." That's a lie. If you've ever once done that, you're being duplicitous and testing your man.
See, if you were honest, you would reply, "actually, I'm upset because you did/didn't do _____". The guy would then immediately understand what is wrong and probably try to fix it.
What most women actually do is assume the man knows/already should have known what he did wrong and already know what to do to make it right. Them not fixing it is an example that the guy "doesn't get them" or "doesn't care enough to try". If the woman was just honest about what she was feeling, the problem would get resolved much faster. The guy learns that his SO is willing to lie to him in order to prove a point. It's one of those little things that drives couples apart emotionally long before they finally split.

perhaps, but sometimes it means " I'm not fine but I will be if you leave me alone for a bit and let me get over it."
however, if you think for one second that men dont do the same exact sullen shite to women then you are deluded about your own sex.

Then say that.

Men typically hold back because they know the other side won't take it well. We're upset, but we know that telling the woman the reason why will result in them getting more upset and making the problem worse. Typically, this comes from learning from earlier encounters with the same person. "it's not worth the fight" is the typical excuse.
I'm not saying it's a good thing, though. However, men, in general, do that stiff FAR less often.

There was a great example in the book, iirc, Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus. It said that when it comes to problem solving we are exact opposites. Men like to retreat into their caves and figure out the problem. Hence why we might sit at a bar quietly with a beer thinking. Women are more extroverted. They might already know the answers to their problems but they still have the need to externalize it.

Stability.
Whether that stability is financial, emotional, sexual, etc... is different for all women.
Figure out what is most stable about you and find a woman who craves stability in that area.

If women wanted honesty, they wouldn't ask us "does _____ make my _______ look _______?"

Bro, what's your thoughts on the "I'm independent and need to do me" phase?

I get called a lumberjack quite a bit, especially in the fall and winter when I break out the flannel.
I'm obviously articulate AF.
