Notice on my list, treating others with kindness and respect, being willing to get to know people beyond shallow things. Isn't that also a common complaint women have about guys?
I think no woman would want to be thought of as the things I've described that I find off-putting. Instead of thinking 'what can I do to impress', you should be thinking, 'what do I find acceptable and not acceptable'. Stop focusing on pleasing everyone.
And thankyou for that @ MrMan "won't run around with other women", Nobody wants someone who'll cheat on us and isn't loyal or faithful, men or women. Some argue women find men with lots of 'notch counts' attractive. I'd argue promiscuous people attract other promiscuous people/faithful people attract other faithful people.
Back to the OP.
Where is one likely to find that sort of woman?
God, you're clueless!
What I am about to tell you is like giving a dog a Rubik's Cube but it might sink in.
For millions of years the human race has been evolving, women have been programmed within their genetic make up to get the best man they can to have children with. A woman's list is different from a man's (and my list is different to yours - trust me!) and how do I know this, because in my job - it involves teaching many single, 20 year old women who like to talk about this subject, so what is a young woman looking for in my experience...
1) Height - they like tall guys
2) Signs of physical vitality, full head of hair, in good shape, symmetrical face, healthy, strong fit
3) Education and intellect - not always inclusive of each other but like height, an intelligent man can pass on these genetic traits to the children of his woman or there is a better chance of that happening.
4) Ability to make money and ambition - no woman - I don't care who it is unless she is trash herself - wants to go out and get serious with a man on the dole, women don't like lazy men either. Why, because women are left holding the baby, the man can leave anytime, the woman has good reason to be careful who she lets into her world.
5) Confidence - timidity won't get you anywhere
6) Masculinity - just like you love feminine women, women tend to like masculine men who make them feel safe.
7) Charisma the 'X' factor that men should really want - what is charisma? Well, here is a good definition of it...
"Charisma (/kəˈrɪzmə/) is compelling attractiveness or charm that can inspire devotion in others. Scholars in sociology, political science, psychology, and management reserve the term for a type of leadership seen as extraordinary; in these fields, the term "charisma" is used to describe a particular type of leader who uses "values-based, symbolic, and emotion-laden leader signaling"."
Women love charismatic men, in fact, if you have charisma then it doesn't matter what you look like at all! You'll get women! Women - especially smart women with things going for them - love charismatic men, politicians like Hugo Chavez, Boris Johnson and Napoleon Bonaparte had/have legions of women who adored them because they have charisma - our Prime Minister has become a father for the eighth time to a woman half his age. He isn't handsome but he is massively charismatic - if you are somewhat handsome and charismatic - think John F. Kennedy or Muhammad Ali - they you can have who you want - there will be a mile long.
Most men don't have it though, but if I was to sort of pinpoint it - it would be a mixture of confidence, charm, intelligence and directness - women don't need to be 'charismatic' it is a very masculine trait - but one that is missing from your list.
Women don't want whingeing wimps, it doesn't matter how kind and non-judgmental you are if you are signing on the dole. As for women not judging you on the kind of work you do, get real! There was a report out recently in The Guardian about how female graduates won't date or marry men without a degree! This is the real world we are talking about, not how you want the world to be.
