Personally I think it's illogical, think about it
you don't ask a fish advice on how to catch a fish, you ask a fisherman instead
Women aren't fish. They're human beings. Why wouldn't you talk to a person - or observe them - and get a sense of what works and doesn't. Some things are individual - maybe one woman wants a guy to be funny, maybe another woman hates small talk. Those are individual preferences you can't account for right out the gate, but the universal principle tends to be that women want a guy who has good communication skills, is confident and thoughtful. They tie together. Many women will tell you exactly what they like or want, and from there it's up to you to take it from there. If you ask a woman for dating advice I guarantee you she's going to say something like this.
First time I truly sat down and talked with my (now) gf, she mentioned she saw a play recently, had a great time and the theater experience made her realize how much she disliked seeing movies in theaters. She also mentioned she had a week off work coming up soon but had no real plans. So afterwards I looked up downtown theaters, found some days/times, and asked her to join me. Worked perfectly, and then we had a late lunch afterwards (which I also planned).
Another thing they'll almost always tell you, advice wise, is they want to eat. Plan a lunch or dinner, preferably at a real restaurant. Not Applebees. This is also a good way to get a sense of her taste level. If we go to a dope ass restaurant and she's complaining that the food doesn't taste like anything...that tells you she's used to that shytty sodium food at Applebees/Red Robin/etc. Might want to avoid her after that....
