"Just be yourself and she'll like you", "be nice", "treat her well" etc that's the type of tired advice a lot of women give. 1: it doesn't actually offer any practical way to help as it's based on emotions on the females part and 2: A womans actions will usually show the opposite of what she says (you can disagree, actions always speak louder than words or emotions)

Consequently "dating advice" you suggested that is being said a lot is some we all should focus on more (most don't alas) well call it always applies to both sides. It applies in different ways, and that's because men and women want the same thing but in a different way. It's why men spend time and money learning about female psychology (woman seem to want to learn about mens as there are dating coaches for women, I don't know what the numbers are on the female side)

It's as I mentioned women test because it's in their biological need for it. Yes woman have a certain risk if the testing succeeds and she breeds with a guy that turns out to be unfit (in varying ways) however this seems to be common so your female tests can't be of some detriment to you rather than a way to help you at times.

There's a difference between looking for red flags and testing people because they get a kick from it, which a certain amount of women will do, just as a certain amount of men get a kick from putting women down physically or emotionally etc - swings n roundabouts I say.
