How to Impress a woman

I was reading another topic and made me think of all the things I have done to impress a woman. Some worked and some did not but I am 66 and been single awhile. The things I used to do do not seem like a good idea anymore. I remember when pulling a wheelie on my bicycle was worth a few points. Not something I would try now unless I thought I could get some loving care after the crash. I once did a strip tease jumping over the campfire that got a lot of attention but I am not as much of a chiseled physical specimen as I once was.
Hey guys, help me out here what have you tried that might impress a Senior Woman.
 

I used to buy my wife fresh flowers nearly every week. She loved flowers. I also helped her in preparing meals, cleaning up afterwards & vacuuming the floor every time she mentioned that the floors needs some cleaning. When we did our daily walk outside I always held her hand. When she spoke, I always put down what I was doing or reading & listened very attentively to what she said. I tried to show that she was the most important thing in my life because she was.
 
I said, would you like to go to Tahiti? She said,"since I was 17 I have wanted to go to Tahiti". I handed her a brochure and said, "pick a date". She looked at me as if to say, "oh, sure".
Two weeks later, I handed her a packet and said,"here are your tickets to Tahiti":)
 

I walked to the mailbox. That was it. Very near the mailboxes (at my apartment complex) is a picnic table where a lot of the women sit to gab for a few hours in the afternoon, and one of them grabbed my attention so I went over to talk to her. I invited her to have dinner with me and she accepted. We're still seeing each other.

I guess I'd say don't *try* to impress. Just smile and be friendly. And go where they hang out.
 
Well, I'm not a guy but I'll tell you what impresses me.
WORDS.
if a man can express himself as verbally eloquent and shows extreme intelligence, he has my rapt attention!
Dignity, class, his own style, is discriminating, distinguished, shows vitality, charisma, kindness, a robust demeanor, stately, commands respect, a rugged spirit, doesn't hurt either. I like a REAL MAN'S MAN!
i like a man who is adventurous and not afraid to explore things, places.
I like men who have tenderness, likes to be touched, protective, passionate and romantic. Loves intimacy.
He has to have his own moral code, his own spirituality, his own value system and stands behind his word.
A trimmed beard and healthy mustache melt me too! ( though a lot of women don't like that)
He is not fully tamed and won't be! He won't change who he is to please a woman!
Sorry, I meant this to be one sentence but when I got started, hahaha!

OMG! Did I forget HUMOR?

What would impress this ol' senior woman: you could, and would willingly, do a decent job of doing laundry (not by refusing to sort items by color & not by refusing to use anything but hot water on everything becuz your mother told you that was the way it was done); you could and would willingly balance a checkbook; you could and would willingly figure out how to pay bills (either by doing it online or by *gasp* writing out checks by hand); you could and would willingly make your own medical appointments by *gasp* picking up the phone and calling; you could and would willingly call service or repair people when needed. That enough to get started?

Except for the beard I use all of those tools to keep a woman. But you have to try to get their attention first! Heck I even know some big words!
 
I've got an answer similar to what @JonDouglas already gave you.

If you can't impress someone by being yourself what is the point in impressing them some other way. That just sets you up for potential failure and the woman you're interested in for disappointment when she finds out you're not what you appeared to be initially.

That said if you find you are not interesting the women you are interested in I'd ask some trustworthy friends if you are doing something off putting or acting in ways that are driving some people away. Once you have that information you can choose whether or not to change yourself. However I'd only do that if you agree that the things they identify are negative and things you don't want to be associated with doing or being.

I have managed all of those things for many years and I am a pretty good cook but I do not have many clothes to sort because I were Hawaiian shirts and jeans, Just two piles.

All my sewing, knitting, crocheting, wasted on you then, if I messed with laundry, accountancy detail, and lacking in telephonic skills/patience then! :)

Jon, If it is woman on the senior forum you may be interested in, I have an idea!
Why don't you start a new thread showing your wonderful stained glass, your beautiful woodcarvings and your amazing ceramics!
I'm sure she will be impressed! Many people do this!
If it's a woman in your neighborhood, just walk up and say Hi! You're damn good looking, and will need nothing else!

Oh! "a treasure and a gift to a man?" Wow! You have the words to take a lady's breath away!
The last thing you have to worry about is impressing a woman!

It is one thing to take her breath away and quite another to be her muse, her encourager, her safe place and her protector. There are many facets of me and not all of them are beautiful. I do not think showing my carvings of wood wizards will drive a woman crazy bit I would like to share art and stories. Thanks for the suggestion, where can I do that?

Tony, I would never try to bring a woman down to be a mans equal. They are a treasure and a gift to a man who shares a life with them. I would never waste the time to attract one by being untrue to myself but being flashy works for grouse and peacocks!

To me, we are ALL humans and by putting somebody above (or below) somebody else, whether by gender, race, or any other means of doing so, just doesn't end well. So I am baffled by the idea that treating a woman as the equal that they are by virtue of the fact that we are ALL humans is somehow bringing her down. You specifically addressed this comment to me, so I am responding directly to you.

My former neighbour became a widow a good while back, she was married for close on 70 years. Since her husband died I have been corresponding with her, we are what was once called, pen-pals. She is nearly 93, is that senior enough? What impresses her is not the dozen or so A4 pages that I write to her every two or three weeks, it's the fact that I hand write her letters, the reason that she's most impressed is because I write in pen & ink, like this:
