This study assessed the personality traits women find most attractive:
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0191886913012245
They found women were highly attracted to the dark triad: Narcissism, Manipulativeness, and Psychopathy (insensitivity to others).
The full article is here:

To summarize their findings:
"In conclusion, the results of our study demonstrate that the Dark Triad male personality is attractive to women and this effect is not mediated by these men’s greater perceived Extraversion or Neuroticism."
They suggest the "Dirty Dozen" as a tool for quickly taking inventory of how much you fit the Dark Triad:
So quite sincerely, it appears if you actually want to maximize your personality for sexual success, you should work on maximizing those attributes. Those are what science say women respond to. That is a "good personality" to women for sexual mating.
Do you fit that currently at all? I don't. Do you think it's something a person can practice at or should practice at? I wonder if it's worth getting women if I must become what I would otherwise consider a terrible person in order to do so. Is it?

They suggest the "Dirty Dozen" as a tool for quickly taking inventory of how much you fit the Dark Triad:
- I tend to manipulate others to get my way.
- I tend to lack remorse.
- I tend to want others to admire me.
- I tend to be unconcerned with the morality of my actions.
- I have used deceit or lied to get my way.
- I tend to be callous or insensitive.
- I have used flattery to get my way.
- I tend to seek prestige or status.
- I tend to be cynical.
- I tend to exploit others toward my own end.
- I tend to expect special favors from others.
- I want others to pay attention to me.
